Ohhh, seeing your little guy asleep like that in his crib just reminds me so much of my oldest son, now 24, cuz he would sleep like that and had a head of dark hair too! Seems like ages ago now. I feel like I want to reach out and give him a hug, but you will have to do it for me since I can't!! I can tell what a proud mama you are!!
Hey, also love Red, my daughter would love a mini horse like that! She loves anything to do with horses, even loves the smell of them and the leather saddles. She keeps begging for one of her own, well, maybe some day. Both good posts, so thanks for sharing such sweet pictures with us all. hugs, Debby

If you are looking for less busy cruises, whether ocean-going or river, it is best to book in shoulder or low seasons. These vary according to destinations – in Australia, for example, the peak season is the Christmas school holidays and for European river cruises, you are looking at April to October. River cruises in Europe start operating in March and usually go through to December; Christmas-market cruises are becoming increasingly popular but the cold weather doesn not appeal to everyone.
Major cruise lines offer discounts, perks or a free deck plan and cabin when a group books a certain number of cabins, whether it is for a bunch of friends or for a special occasion such as a wedding or anniversary.
Doing your research before you book is key to finding the right sort of ship and itinerary that suits your lifestyle and budget. There are many tempting cheap offers floating around but if you are looking for a cosy couples getaway then a bargain-priced three-night sampler cruise on a ship with two or three thousand fellow passengers is not going to fit the bill.
Many lines, especially river cruise companies, offer bonuses such as free flights, pre-paid gratuities and on-board credits when you book and pay several months in advance. You also have the benefit of booking your preferred deck plan and cabin and if you are planning a family cruise during school holidays, always the busiest times, booking at least six months ahead is almost essential.

Great Feats Of Amazingness
I'm starting with some Christmas gifts for my grandsons - a pillow and pillow case for the oldest and bunting bags for the youngest as well as some sheets for the nursery that just haven't gotten sewn yet. These are simple sews yet near to my heart. After that, Butterick 6138 and Vogue 9112 are cut out from the Design Outside the Lines retreat in May. Not a stitch has been taken on either project and the raincoat isn't finished yet either. Finishing works for me. As does routine only...
... it's just a month today since my fall down the stairs and while things are healing, it's going to take a while so I'm still (... or at least attempting to) pacing myself. It'll be good to be in the studio since I seem to find that edge of too much far too often. Last week, I exhausted myself trying to get everything done but luckily now all of the get rid of the smoke smell and organize things better renovating has been done. What's left is to get the suite ready to rent and to "make pretty" in my part of the house. The plan is to do that work in-between the studio work. YES YES!
Tomorrow, is my first coaching session with Diane since we left off in the spring. I'm really excited to be working together again. Coaching has been far more than I hoped for and has really helped me to move both my life and work forward. This fall, I want to dig deeper with making jewelry and get comfortable with those processes and I want to focus on piecing and adding details with creative clothing in a way that pushes me beyond what's currently safe. An interesting thing about my new community is that while it's smaller, it's also more artistic and rather than overdressed, here I am often under-dressed. I like that. There's lots of room to up my edge. YES YES!
While it's been a slow beginning, the move to Salmon Arm was one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I've been welcomed and included and the community really suits me. I feel like I belong. Being a maker is not unusual here. May people are makers and there is a high degree of respect for both the maker and the made. Everywhere I go, I overhear interesting conversations that confirm I'm where I need to be. I'm so excited to see what develops now that I'm going to be back in the studio and feeling well enough to get out in the community more.
I can't guarantee a return to daily postings but two or three a week should be possible. It depends on how tiring it is to stand and sit for any length of time in the studio and on what I produce. Simple is not too exciting even if it is de-rusting my skills. We'll see. I plan to start with my morning hour and see how it goes.
Talk soon - Myrna
Grateful - healing

It's good to see another post from you this morning, Myrna. Even though you may "overdo" you seem to be getting well and productive. I'm anxious to see what you create in your new studio. KarenReplyDeleteReplies
Overdoing seems to be the way I find that edge and keep upping it. Today, I had a three hour nap so I guess I'd overdone just a little bit too much. I'm looking forward to what I create too.Delete
Nice to see you back.ReplyDelete
Nice to read that you're starting to heal. I'm so envious of your artistic community and the fact that you had the courage to move into a environment of like-minded artists. I live in a small city in southern Saskatchewan and have not met anyone who likes to sew as a hobby. Lots of quilters, though. Love reading about your journey into independence and art. Well done.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm not sure where the courage came from. Suddenly I could and needed to take the risk and believed it would all work out and so far, so good. When I dropped some things off at the thrift store today, another woman was also dropping things off and wearing the most amazing coat. When I complimented her on it she said "I bought it but I also sew and there's a pattern just like it in..." Things like that happen all the time here and it's a totally new experience for me. Love it.Delete
It always make me happy to see a new post from you.I see the same crafting joy in you that i feel even though im nowhere near your level...HugzzReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you. I just finished sewing my first project and I could do the happy dance. SO WONDERFUL to be back sewing again.Delete
So nice to read that you are healing and still moving forward on re-settling and new projects! I don't comment often but I noticed that i really missed your posts over the last little bit. Your new community sounds like a dream and it is exciting to read that you feel you have landed in such an ideal spot. Happy creating!!! :-)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for letting me know that you missed the posts. That means a lot to me. It won't be all perfect here as time will - I'm sure - tell but there definitely are some wonderful things about this community. I'm glad to be here.Delete

No severe drought in 2015 – Met Office
Farmers and the wider public should be a little less concerned about the possibility of severe drought in 2015 as the Meteorological Service of Jamaica expects "normal rainfall".
Speaking at a Gleaner Editors' Forum on Wednesday at the newspaper's North Street, Kingston, office, Jacqueline Spence, acting climate branch head at the Meteorological Service sought to clarify the weather body's forecasts for 2015.
"While the dry season, which ends on March 31, has started with a deficit (in rainfall amounts), we should have normal rain in the wet season, which begins in April," Spence said.
She added that 2014 "was a bad year for the amount of rainfall, but we are not expecting 2015 to be as bad".
Norman Grant, president of the Jamaica Agricultural Society last month deemed 2014 the "worst period of drought experienced by Jamaica in close to a century". He estimated that 18,000 farmers were severely affected, amounting to approximately $1 billion in losses.
Residential customers across the island were also faced with daily water lock-offs as the National Water Commission struggled with low water levels at its storage and catchment facilities. The Corporate Area and Clarendon were the most severely affected areas.
The drought, which affected the summer months in 2014, was attributed to both the El NiÒo phenomenon (an abnormal warming of surface ocean waters) and broader climate change affecting the globe.
The main users of water in Jamaica are the agricultural sector, which accounts for 33 per cent of the total use of water and 21 per cent for residential purposes.

My money, originally, was on Cheryl but then I thought that seemed too obvious.
I'm betting it's a Cooper. Either Betty's mother or Polly (somehow escaped or something, exacting her revenge).
This will go in a Riverdale spoilers sub-forum eventually, but since everyone's going to be speculating... who do YOU think killed Jason Blossom?
My thoughts upon seeing the pilot was that it was Cheryl, though that seems to be the most obvious. Thoughts, anyone?
My money, originally, was on Cheryl but then I thought that seemed too obvious.
I'm betting it's a Cooper. Either Betty's mother or Polly (somehow escaped or something, exacting her revenge).
I have similar reasoning but the headshot bothers me. Rowboat was no room for a headshot by Cheryl and honestly her comments about her brother creep me out. One of Coopers seem to be the main suspect as I think they live near the lake area because both scene with the lake crime scene the Coopers were present.
Though I think its Betty's dad. A headshot makes me think personal and a man. The one scene he had the actor they pick was a known so I don't think he is a one off.
Hmmm, interesting. Could very well be. And he would also have a grudge because of what Jason did to Polly.
Looks like the Coopers are the main suspects at this point (if not Cheryl--which again, they seem to be trying too hard to make it look like she did it).
I'm lame, because upon seeing the pilot, Cheryl was definitely my #1 suspect, even if she was the most predictable. I do think it's someone we'd seen in the first episode, but I'm not entirely sure who or why.
Hal Cooper is a really good theory though.
Rewatched the pilot the other day.
Cheryl strikes me as a too obvious suspect. With her brother showing up with a hole in his head, she'll be the first the police will wanna question and an x number of the local population will ask "did she?". Wouldn't be much of a murder mystery (which, I'm assuming, they plan to last the whole season), if the killer is caught in the second episode. However, if she didn't do it, why insist that her brother drowned? And wouldn't the killer have killed her too, as she'd be a witness? Upon rewatching the episode, I noted that Cheryl had asked her brother if he was scared, before they got into the boat. I also thought she wasn't all that upset, during the school scenes.
Thinking it over, I started to recall a few Agatha Christie stories and an episode of Murder, She Wrote. I suspect Cheryl and her brother were trying to fake his death, with a boat accident (cause of which I'm still not sure off). However, something went wrong and, after Jason made it to land, he was (unbeknownst to Cheryl) confronted by a person who shot him. It's also possible that he was killed some time later (hence why the police didn't find his body) and the killer dumped the body in the lake. Archie and Ms Grundy heard a noise, that sounded like a gun shot, but that could turn out to be unrelated.
Of course, this still leaves the question of who did it. One of the Coopers could be considered suspects. Could be a character, who first appears in a later episode. Though, to throw out a suspect I don't think anyone have considered: Ms. Grundy. Sure, Archie was with her, when they heard a shot. But, like I've mentioned, there's nothing to prove that was the shot that killed Jason. It could be like in Evil Under the Sun, where the killer made the murder appear to have already happened. Ergo, she arranges for Archie to hear a shot, when she's right next to her. Thus, she's got an alibi, if the police ever start to suspect her. Granted, an alibi, that could still get her into trouble, but not as much trouble as being convicted for murder.
It's a longshot. But, I thought I should suggest something unlikely. The writers themselves have probably not even decided who did it.
You've tortured us all with surprise endings that made no sense. You've introduced characters in the last five pages that were never in the book before. You've withheld clues and information that made it impossible for us to guess who did it.
- Murder by Death (1976)
she's been arrested. It just looks like they are trying too hard to make her look guilty, to me[/SPOILER].
Hmmm, considering Cheryl's recent line of [SPOILER]"he was supposed to come back"[/SPOILER], that actually would fit in the scenario.I suspect Cheryl and her brother were trying to fake his death
And I love the film "Murder by Death" (so funny!).

Design for Life
categorieën: films, Permacultuur
This 68 minute feature documentary by British videographer Sam Collins tells the story of two scientifically trained baby boomers who saw cracks emerging in the global ecosystem and started the adventure of their lives, to perfect an abundant, sustainable way of living.
Annemarie and Graham Brookman's quest for the principles of sustainable living took them to 40 countries but ended when they encountered permaculture, a design system for sustainable living created by David Holmgren and Bill Mollison. It was everything they needed for a bold experiment, giving them a set of principles and techniques with which to plan their lives and a small farm to assess and perfect this new way of living.
The film traces the physical and economic challenges they overcame: lack of capital, smallness of scale, droughts, floods and the loneliness of the pathfinder, to become one of the World's iconic permaculture properties and one of Australia's most awarded organic farms, The Food Forest.
The movie explains the ethos and planning principles of permaculture through a range of interviews with David Holmgren, Graham and Annemarie Brookman and other designers. It also gives an insight into the thoughts of 'permaculture children' whose generation must fix the exploitative foundations of global economics.
Design for Life illustrates the spacial and energy planning of The Food Forest as well as tracing the development of direct sales through farmers markets, the phenomenon of WWOOFing and the spin-off enterprises of eco-tourism and short courses.
There is a sting in the tail of the film when Holmgren and Brookman address the World's urgent needs for educational, economic and environmental reform and illustrate a model for the planning of sustainable cities.
'Design for Life' moves on from the string of eco-disaster documentaries that have raised public awareness and provides a glimpse of the way forward, 'prosperity without growth', leaving viewers hungry for more.
In addition to the 68 minute movie the 'Design for Life' DVD includes a detailed 25 minute virtual tour of The Food Forest which explains the workings of the sustainable strawbale home and each of the enterprises that are stacked into this certified-organic, hive of activity – vegetables, fruit and nuts, herbs, chickens, geese, agroforestry, biodiversity, value-adding, water, compost, waste cycling, wine, cider and vinegar.
Additional notes
The movie was made on a Mac laptop on the kitchen table at The Food Forest.
Pre-launch screenings at the National Permaculture Conference and for the Roseworthy Old Collegians have both been welcomed with standing ovations.
Radical ecosystem designs such as incorporating micro-kangaroos into their horticulture and extraordinary water harvesting, storage and irrigation systems show the application of permacuture technologies.
The virtual tour of The Food Forest explains the workings of the sustainable strawbale home and each of the enterprises that are stacked into this certified-organic, hive of activity - vegetables, fruit and nuts, herbs, chickens, geese, agroforestry, biodiversity, value-adding, water, compost, waste cycling, wine, cider and vinegar.
Rich action footage spanning almost 40 years and the information-rich soundtrack make for compelling viewing. Clever use of still shots and aerial views and lovely animations of water and nutrient recycling systems graphically explain the dynamics of sustainable design.
'Design for Life' is the culmination of an intensive partnership between the English film-maker Sam Collins, Australian permaculture designer Graham Brookman and graphic designer Kath Read. Sam and Graham have produced over 25 short educational films for the 'Food Forest TV' channel on YouTube.

In his final year in office, President Obama will nominate John B. King, Jr., as the education secretary for the U.S. Education Department.
Obama announced his intention on Thursday, Feb. 11, as congressional leaders urged him to bring a nomination before them for vetting, reports The Washington Post. King took on the responsibilities of a deputy secretary under Arne Duncan and in January, took over as acting secretary.
In a recent congressional hearing concerning cybersecurity and department CIO Danny Harris, representatives drilled into King for refusing to admit that Harris did anything wrong, even though he clearly broke the law by not reporting more than $10,000 in side business income on his financial disclosure report and taxes. He also made other ethically questionable decisions regarding his employees and department contracts.
But Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) says that King's nomination hearing will be quick and fair, and he would probably receive Republican support unless they uncover ethics issues, The Washington Post reported.

Australia vs England 5th Test Day 4 Highlights 7 Jan 2018
Watch AUS vs ENG Ashes highlights of the fifth Test played today on 7-1-2018. Watch latest cricket highlights and videos. There will be no 5-0 clean sweep, but Australia have a good chance of mopping up a 4-0 result at the SCG after dominating the fourth day against England.
It was a day on which the brothers Marsh, Shaun and Mitchell, both scored centuries, England's bowlers fried as the temperature exceeded 40 degrees, and Australia finally declared after batting for 193 overs. England were left needing to bat nine hours to salvage a draw; within 30 minutes they had lost both their openers.
By stumps, Joe Root had tried to forge some sort of resistance, but it seemed largely futile. Australia were six wickets from victory at the close of play, with England on 4 for 93, still trailing by 210 runs. Root was on 42 and Jonny Bairstow was on 17, but Australia could reasonably believe that one more wicket and it could all end quickly. It will be up to Moeen Ali and the fast bowlers, exhausted as they will be after more than two days in the field, to ensure that is not the case.
No Highlights Available
If this innings was an opportunity for Mark Stoneman and James Vince to finish their disappointing campaigns on a high, it was an opportunity not taken. Stoneman was lbw to Mitchell Starc for a nine-ball duck in the third over; Vince compiled 18 before he was once again caught off an edge, this time at slip off Pat Cummins. Vince ended the series with 242 runs at 26.88, Stoneman with 232 at 25.77. They have provided England's selectors with more questions than answers.

Technical programs likely to grow if EITC converted to a community college
Three contraptions sit in the corner of Eastern Idaho Technical College's machine tool workshop.
One, a steel lathe, is covered in metal shavings. Knobs and hand wheels protrude from its face.
A nearby drill press features an rpm chart underneath the controls, while the milling machine next to it has an old, curved monitor connected to a yellowing, clacky keyboard.
None of them get much use in David Parson's machine tool class, though three modern computer numerical controlled devices across the shop do.
When students aren't using them, the CNC machines hum on standby. They're housed in clean, gray metal cabinets with flat-screen monitors and computer-controlled cutting arms.
EITC began its machine tool technology program in 2015. Like other two-year technical programs the college recently created, it churns out graduates in high demand among regional employers. The college hasn't graduated its first class yet, but students are already accepting job offers with starting wages of about $25,000 to $30,000 per year, Parsons said. The national average starting salary is about $37,000, according to Payscale.
Also like other two-year technical programs, the machine tool program would likely expand if EITC were converted to a community college.
"I guarantee that next year at this time our career technical enrollments will be stronger if we are converted. There would be more interest on us, so we can better attract and retain students," EITC President Rick Aman said. "The simple concept is our infrastructure would become larger too because we're serving more students."
Increased funding
Bonneville County residents will decide May 16 whether to convert EITC to a community college.
If converted, EITC would offer general education courses transferable to four-year universities.
But its technical programs would remain a strong focus, Aman said, and with more students comes more money and opportunity for expansion in academic and technical programs alike.
A July report by the Community College Citizen Study Panel found that EITC's enrollment would grow from 700 students to 1,500 students in its first year as a community college. That number would balloon to 4,400 students by year six.
Tuition would increase from $109 to $125 per credit for Bonneville County residents, Aman said. Noncounty residents would pay $175 per credit.
EITC's state funding mechanism also would change.
Currently, the college receives about $8,425,000 in general annual funding from Idaho Career and Technical Education and federal sources, Chief Financial Officer Kathleen Watkins said.
A community college would receive additional funding from the state's general budget: $5 million that Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter promised last year to a hypothetical conversion, then about $2 million the year after, nearly $3 million the year after, and so on, the study projected based on recent Idaho community college funding.
The college's taxing district also would open a new revenue stream of about $800,000 per year in local property taxes.
Altogether, the college's annual revenue is projected to grow from about $8.4 million currently to more than $25.5 million by year six as a community college, the study found.
Additionally, the college could make line item requests with the state Legislature instead of Career and Technical Education.
"As a community college they'd have greater access to state resources," Career and Technical Education State Administrator Dwight Johnson said.
There's a precedent for Idaho community colleges using general funds to bolster trade programs, Johnson said.
The College of Southern Idaho in Twin Falls expanded its programs in 2015 with a new building, and North Idaho College in Coeur d'Alene opened the Parker Technical Education Center in the fall using a combination of general college capital and private donations.
"We strongly believe having that technical component embedded within a larger community college is of great benefit to technical programs and students. You can leverage greater funding," Johnson said.
EITC would use a large portion of additional funding for faculty hires. The college's full- and part-time teaching staff of 66 would likely double within three years, Aman said.
The campus is already large enough to accommodate program growth for at least 5 years, Aman said.
"I think taxpayers worry they would approve a bond for the college conversion and then find out they would be immediately on the hook for a new building. I wouldn't envision that for quite some time," he said.
Filling a need
Aman already has an eye on several additions to EITC's technical offerings.
Software programming is in demand — cybersecurity in particular.
A cybersecurity graduate from the hypothetical College of Eastern Idaho could find work at a place such as Idaho National Laboratory, Aman said.
"And it would easily be in the realm of what we'd call a family-wage job, well above minimum wage. A very well-compensated position, especially with the potential for advancement," Aman said.
The cybersecurity firm Sentinel One reports that by 2019, there will be 6 million job openings for information security professionals but just 4.5 million qualified professionals to fill those roles, according to CSOonline.com.
There's also demand for other trade positions.
INL, with about 4,100 employees, has hired more than 500 people over the last two years, Partnerships, Engagement and Technology Deployment Director Amy Lientz said.
Not all of those hires are from site growth, she said, citing the "silver tsunami" of retiring baby boomers.
"And the positions we're filling aren't just what people would think of as the rocket scientist, Ph.D. types," Lientz said. "We're hiring in the programs that require certifications, including everything from drafting personnel to radiological control specialists, to lab technicians. Those are all really important to us, and if we're able to find that talent locally it's certainly a win."
A community college associate degree — unlike a technical college certificate — can go toward the acquisition of a bachelor's degree.
Some employers such as Blackfoot-based Premier Technology and INL have programs to help pay for their employees' further education.
"If we hire a draftsman, and that individual wanted an engineering degree from University of Idaho or Idaho State University, we may help pay for them to get that bachelor's. And that person benefits because they have credits that can already transfer," Lientz said.
Nimble by nature
Two-year colleges can quickly respond to developing regional employer demands, Aman said.
"That's probably one of the hallmarks of a two-year college, that ability to move quickly to where the economy is going," he said. "The radiation technician program we brought up in about nine months. Drafting, we discovered there weren't enough drafters in the area so we moved into that in about four months."
EITC's new machine tool technology program was created in response to a nationwide employee shortage felt locally by employers such as Premier, Idaho Falls-based Idaho Steel, Rexburg-based Matrix Drilling Products and INL.
Programs like those would be more easily expanded with the additional resources provided by a community college transition, Aman said.
Parsons teaches two machine tool classes, each with eight students.
Instead of teaching his students primarily how to use milling machines and lathes, which are falling out of favor in the production world, he teaches them to use modern CNC machines, which take cutting directions from computer-made designs.
Parsons has worked with CNC machines for almost two decades, and he worked with conventional machines before that.
CNC machines allow machinists to make a wider variety of products more quickly and more accurately, Parsons said.
"We're not teaching them yesterday's technology for today; we're teaching them today's technology for tomorrow."
INL employs about 50 CNC machinists, Sitewide Facilities and Operations Division Director Rod Bitsoi said, and it recognizes the need for more as current employees retire.
Future workers for future jobs
The machine tool program's students are in their second year.
Chris Haack, 26, expects to finish the program in May.
He attended Bonneville High School, but didn't graduate. Haack worked fast food jobs until he thought he'd try something else at EITC.
One of his siblings is a pharmacist, another has an engineering master's and another is a tax law Ph.D. The specialized and extended nature of their educations creates a limited employment niche, Haack said. A two-year degree doesn't require the same commitment.
"Their struggle to get a job that works well for them has been harder, even though they have this great knowledge and capability. With a trades job it doesn't take as long to get good at something, so I could change my situation faster going here, for much less money," Haack said.
He wants to open a machine shop after he finishes the program. A place where he can manufacture gun parts — a process expedited by CNC machines.
"I can write my program, set everything up, turn it on and go home for the night. Make muzzle breaks, and make money while I sleep. It's lights-out machining, and you can't do that with the old machines," he said.
EITC could enroll more classes if additional resources were diverted to the machine tool program; Parsons would also purchase more machines. More of what the shop already has — to create additional hands-on time for students — and different ones so students can learn new skills.
His class toured Matrix Drilling recently. Haack remembers a sand-blaster-type device that cuts threads into metal pieces, something that would be useful for making gun barrels, for example.
"I had no idea something like that existed. I want the most exposure to all ways of doing things, though; if we could open up the next door and have more big machines over there — that would be great," he said.
Machinist demand is expected to continue upward, Parsons said.
"The rest of the country is begging for machinists. A company in Minnesota wanted to hire me after I came here; they had 700 machines and 400 machinists. I told them I couldn't fix that," Parsons said.
He expects his program to grow as well.
"It's taken me a lifetime to be as good as I am. It'll take them 10 years to be better than me at what I do," Parsons said. "There won't be conventional machines much longer. This is the new technology, and they need people to run it."

|February 2009
There has been increasing talk over the past couple of years about how Suboxone, the hugely successful drug for the treatment of opiate addiction, is being abused. For example, a recent AP report out of Milwaukee carried a headline "Suboxone Abuse Grows After Outpatient Use Authorized†and quoted police officers saying that they have seen instances of street trafficking in Suboxone by people looking to get high off the drug. Well, all we can say is the joke is on you if you buy Suboxone from a street dealer looking to get nice and high. The fact is, Suboxone's active ingrediant, buprenorphine, is not a particularly good drug to get high off of, as it has properties that limit euphoric effect.
And furthermore, Reckitt Benckiser, the drug's manufacturer, has taken other steps that sharply limit the ability of addicts to abuse the drug. So, yes, Suboxone probably is somewhat abusable, but not very much so. And given the soaring death rates from methadone, a drug that is very abusable and gets you very high if the dose is big enough, Suboxone is a huge leap forward and will likely virtually replace methadone when it goes generic.

HODGKIN'S "DYNASTY OF THEODOSIITS."* Ma. HODGKIN has already told the
story of the fall of the Western Empire, and told it well. The present volume, which consists of lectures delivered at Durham, is in- tended, he says, for persons who may not care to peruse his larger work. But even those who have read Italy and her Invaders, will welcome these lectures for their admirably clear and unencumbered presentation of the leading features of the great movement of the Northern peoples which introduced what Hegel calls the Germanic period of history. The second lecture gives an account of Romania and Barbaricum before the final struggle began. The Empire was still imposing, especially in the great centres, and the Emperor described himself as " My Eternity" without misgiving. A Greek poet of the first century had predicted that the Empire would endure like the oaks of Zeus, although Germany brought down all the Rhine upon it, if it continued to place confidence in its Cmsar. The Caesars were trusted, and it looked as if the confidence had not been misplaced, for they devised that wonderful system of Provincial Govern- ment, recently described by Mommsen, to which mankind owed centuries of order and of progress in the arts of life. The reverence for the Imperial power extended even to the barbarians who were not subject to it ; and it seemed probable that by means of federation, they too might be included within the order of Rome. The hope was frustrated, not by the barbarians who admired Roman civilisation and liked Roman titles, but by the paralysis of the Empire itself. The attempt of Theodosius, after the Battle of Hadrianople, to federate the Goths, was for a time successful. Theodosius, who had much in common with the barbarian chiefs, readily attracted them to his person by his courtly magnificence, and they became zealous defenders of the Imperial power. But Theodosius the Great, or the Magnificent, as Mr. Hodgkin would prefer to call him, could not arrest the financial ruin of the provinces, which the extravagance of the Courts of old and new Rome, and incessant wars, had brought to the verge of beggary. The dwellers in the slave barracks, whose masters fed them, were envied by the eoloni, who were bound to the soil they cultivated, and obliged to hand over the obligation to their children; while every year the margin of profit became smaller. Even they were less to be pitied than the euriales, the vestrymen and town councillors, who had formerly ruled with honour in their little commonwealths, and were responsible for its contributions to the public revenues. They found themselves weighted by " curial obliga- tions," which meant that they had to bear an ever-increasing load of local rates and imperial taxes ; and if land went out of cultivation, they had to take it up and cultivate it for the benefit of the Imperial Treasury,. They were expressly for- bidden to become priests or slaves to escape their curial obligations. The Empire, according to Mr. Hodgkin, did not • The Dynast y of Theodosius ; or, Eighty Years' Struggle 'pith tho Barbarians. ByPress.Th 1889omas Hodgkin, Hon. D.C.L. of Oxford and Durham. Oxford : Clarendon fall before the barbarians, but sank under the weight of its own official administration; and he expresses a fear, which we hope is groundless, that after-ages will perceive that many states of Europe are sinking at the present time under the weight of the terrible armaments with which mutual suspicion had led them to array themselves.
Theodosius is usually treated with leniency by historians, and the blame of the ruin which followed is laid at the door of his foolish sons. Mr. Hodgkin, who likens him to Louis XIV., is of opinion that his magnificence and courtliness have blinded historians, as they blinded his contemporaries, to his indolent neglect of the duties of administration, and to his fatal love for lavish expenditure which completed the financial collapse. On the personal character of Theodosius a scarcely less unfavourable judgment is passed ; he is described as passionate, egotistic, and cruel. His ready pardon of the frivolous insults of Antioch gained for him the golden praises of Chrysostom, and his repentance for the massacre of Thessalonica satisfied Ambrose. But Mr. Hodgkin is not to be appeased by repentance. The massacre, he writes, however repented of, marks him out as one of the Emperors who were unfit to govern, not only below " a saint like Marcus Aurelius," or a statesman like Trajan, but almost as fit to be classed with Caligula and Nero. This appears to us an exaggeration. Theodosius was neither a Trajan nor a Marcus Aurelius; he was rather a ruler of the mediaeval type, capriciously cruel and capriciously generous ; he had much in common with the barbarian chiefs who adored him ; but his repentance showed the beginnings at least of a Christian conscience, and he cannot with justice be classed with Caligula and Nero.
The barbarians who took possession of the Empire after the death of Theodosius were not savages. What would have happened had Europe fallen into the keeping of savages, may be gathered from the lecture on " The Coming of the Huns," which describes the devastations of the Turanian destroyers. The Goths were Aryans, with a firm hold of the fundamental principles of social and political order ; and their conquering career was marked by traits of magnanimity, and by gleams of careless wisdom which sometimes make them appear to advantage by the side of the Romans. But their high qualities notwithstanding, the victory of the Goths inflicted a disaster upon Europe from which it took centuries to recover. Following a far-seeing hint thrown out by Augustine during the horrors of the invasion, a certain school of historians are in the habit of speaking of the barbarian inroads as an unmixed blessing to Europe, because they inspired new energy into the worn-out Roman world ; and this they did, but at tremendous present and future cost. Mr. Hodgkin does not conceal the dark side of the barbarian invasion, of which he writes as follows :- " I ask for a full measure of pity for those true Roman hearts whose allotted span of life had to be all passed in these years of irresistible decline. There are times like that of which a poet has sung,— ' Bliss was it in those days to be alive, And to be young was very heaven ; times like the first years that followed the battle of Salamis, like
the first thrill and rapture of the Crusades, like ' the spacious days of great Elizabeth,' when the life of a nation has been so strong, so fresh, and so triumphant, that one feels as if even the saddest individual life must have been overflowed by the great national gladness and saved from utter sorrow. On the other hand, could even the most unclouded domestic happiness atone to a patriotic Roman who lived in the fifth century for the necessity of watching the lingering agony of his country ? Like a man dwelling upon a subsiding continent, he saw one familiar landmark after another submerged beneath the waters of barbarism. Or like those remote descendants of ours, if such shall then be living on this planet, who, as physical philosophers tell us, will see this earth begin to part with her atmosphere and become incapable of sustaining organic life, he must have felt that all the old conditions of being were inverted, and that life by the beautiful Mediterranean was going to become in truth unliveable."
All through the Middle Ages men continued to look back wistfully towards the older civilisation which had perished through the barbarian invasions ; for it was felt that in all matters pertaining to intellectual culture, they were hopelessly inferior. The power of thinking with full rationality and the art of the adequate expression of thought were lost to mankind for centuries ; and not until Dante came did any writer venture to claim a place in the inner circle of the great spirits of antiquity. The lecture on Genseric, whom Mr. Hodgkin correctly, but rather needlessly, we think, transforms into
Gaiseric, is of much interest. The barbarians are seen at their worst in the terrible Vandal Buccaneers, who spread terror and desolation from their robber-fortress at Carthage. The havoc which they wrought in Latin Africa, which was continued by the Saracens, has made it hard for us to realise that the devastated land once possessed a civilisation which vied with that of Rome, and a Church which possessed teachers of greater genius and of more enduring influence than any produced by the Roman Church. But the civilisation and Christianity of Latin Africa were exotics, and had no roots in the life of the native population ; and this is probably the reason that the Vandals were able to destroy them with utter destruction.

While developing the strategy, we will collaborate, co-host and work with the arts, culture, and creative communities to identify priorities to guide Vancouver's future efforts and investments.
We have a concurrent, formal City-to-Nation intergovernmental relationship with Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh.
City staff also participate in a separate cultural reference group with designated representatives from each of the local First Nations.
The external advisory committee plays a key role in helping guide the development of the Creative City Strategy.
The committee meets monthly and their input helps inform public engagement and policy development.
Together, the intent is to offer a holistic view of Vancouver's cultural ecology.
Advisory committee members reflect diverse perspectives from arts, culture, and the creative sector.
The Creative City Strategy strives to align with existing City initiatives and strategies.
Working in collaboration with members of the arts and cultural community is a value for the strategy engagement process.
We have collaborated with:
Part of the Creative City Strategy engagement process is to invite nonprofit arts and cultural organizations to hold or facilitate their own conversations on arts, culture and creativity. In April 2018, a call for expressions of interest was made for the Host Your Own engagement grant. With a total budget of $100,000, the one-time only grant will support organizations to convene, plan and host their own engagement activities between May to September 2018. All findings and insights will inform the strategy process.
A subcommittee made up of the External Advisory Committee and City staff reviewed 100 applications. Ten organizations were shortlisted and asked to submit a full proposal. Priority was given to organizations and activities that engaged with underrepresented groups.
Organizations were selected based on their ability to deepen existing consultation on our early findings, broaden consultation with underrepresented groups, provide strategic recommendations and strengthen relationships across artistic & cultural communities.

Have You Tried Apple CarPlay Yet?
Personally I'm an Android user, but I'm intrigued by the prospect of integrating my phone's OS with my car like Apple CarPlay allows.
Personally I haven't tried CarPlay yet, but found a good review on Apple CarPlay from Ryan at AutoAnything.
Do you know if something similar is being developed for Android? If so, point me in the right direction through my contact form.
Disclosure: I do work on AutoAnything, but posted this on my own outside of that capacity. I thought the article was a good one which those researching CarPlay could benefit from, so decided to share. This post is meant to be informational, not promotional.

Screening of Buddhist Art: A Fragile Inheritance at UBC's Frederic Wood theatre, with Introduction by Professor David Park, Director of The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Centre for Buddhist Art and Conservation at The Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London
Free — no registration required. Click here for a map to the theatre.
The spread of Buddhism from India throughout Asia has left a legacy of truly great art. This sumptuous new film by award-winning filmmakers Mark Stewart Productions tells the story of that fragile inheritance through the treasures of Bhutan and Ladakh in the Himalayas and the Dunhuang Grottoes on the Silk Road in China. Efforts to save valuable wall paintings in these regions are contrasted with imminent threats of fire, flood, tourists, and devotional practice. The film focuses on the conservation work undertaken by the Courtauld Institute of Art (University of London) in collaboration with the Dunhuang Academy, Getty Conservation Institute and Bhutan's Department of Culture. It also highlights the Courtauld's efforts to promote awareness and understanding of the issues involved in conserving Buddhist art, through teaching and through the Buddhist Art Forum, a major conference sponsored by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation.

Lincoln – A caller posing as a Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) employee tried to get personal information about an Omaha woman Wednesday as part of a scam. The public is reminded that DHHS employees will provide their first name, employee number and where they're calling from.
The caller, who would not provide his name, was unable to convince the woman to provide the information.
While DHHS ACCESSNebraska employees may call a client to ask for personal information to verify their identity, they provide their first name and employee number. Anyone suspicious of the caller should call the ACCESSNebraska phone number to provide the requested information. With electronic case files, any employee would be able to access the client's file to discover whether the information is needed, and can update their records.
The ACCESSNebraska phone numbers for Economic Assistance services are:
• Statewide, 800-383-4278
• Lincoln area, 402-323-3900
• Omaha area, 402-595-1258
For Medicaid and Long-Term Care services:
• Statewide, 855-632-7633
• Lincoln area, 402-473-7000
• Omaha area, 402-595-1178
For Developmental Disabilities services:
• Statewide, 877-667-6266
• Lincoln area, 402-471-8501
In addition, when DHHS employees call, they already have the client's application with personal information.
"Anyone who calls the public claiming to be a DHHS employee should provide a name that can be verified by a call to one of these numbers," said DHHS CEO Courtney Phillips. "When scammers call, they frequently try to bully or threaten, and that's a sure sign they aren't a DHHS employee."

HomeAway.co.uk, the home of Holiday-Rentals®, is part of the HomeAway family. As the world leader in holiday rentals, we offer the largest selection of properties for any travel occasion and every budget. We're committed to helping families and friends find the perfect holiday rental to create unforgettable travel experiences together.
The photos for this property appealed to us, so we as soon as we laid our eyes on them. I can honestly say the photos do 100% justice to the property - it really is as cosy, fab and full of character as it looks! We had overlooked the fact that the flat was bang in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Honfleur village, but as the building is somewhat withdrawn from the street, plus really good glazing of all windows, it was completely silent and calm inside. Even outside, in the private sunny garden at the back, away from the road, you had no idea you were next to a major road. We sat outside at all hours of the day and all we could hear was the birds singing!
Claire was very friendly and all communication has been prompt and clear.
The property was neat, comfortable, spacious, all amenities included in the kitchen and bathroom (the washing machine was much appreciated during the heatwave we had while being there!)
We simply loved the place, and if I had the money, this is exactly the kind of property I would buy! We will definitely come back, Honfleur is a perfect location for doing day trips. We have absolutely no complaints, we would recommend anyone to rent this little gem for a nice holiday by the sea, close to the harbour and all nice restaurants.
Apartment is very central and the decor is light, modern and comfortable. Veronique couldn't do enough for us - she was always available but not obtrusive, and was exceptionally helpful and considerate of our needs. Only point to note is that the flat is on the 2nd floor (no lift) so possibly less suitable for elderly/infirm users.

I am a British freelance journalist based in Lima, Peru, but regularly roaming across Latin America.
My speciality is environmental stories, from the dwindling population of Andean condors to vanishing mangroves, threatened by rising sea levels, in El Salvador. But I also write about most other topics under the sun, from going undercover in one of South America's most notorious jails, to political corruption, the drug trade, LGBT rights, archaeology and Peru's penchant for rodent cuisine.
My work has appeared in Vice, The Independent, USA Today, The Washington Post, Foreign Policy, GlobalPost and The Guardian, among many others. My writing in Spanish has been published in Spain's El País newspaper, and I have been interviewed on air by the BBC, NPR and PRI. I am a two-time recipient of grants from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, for my 2012 series on climate change in Latin America and my 2016 look at counter-narcotics policies in South America.
Originally from London, I previously lived in Mexico City for four years and California's San Francisco Bay Area for six years before settling in Lima. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have a MA in Latin American Studies from UC Berkeley.
I climb, mountaineer and surf and there is nothing I love more than getting into the backcountry, whether it is the Amazon, the Andes or a remote Pacific beach.
