From week 33 in the Summer Term, my academic support hours are by appointment. Please e-mail me (alisonc) if you would like to make an appointment.
Ive been fascinated by history for as long as I can remember. As I child I enjoyed family outings to historic buildings, reading historical fiction (the Poldark novels by Winston Graham, first read at age 10, were particular favourites), and studying the Norman Conquest at school. I love the fact that history is fundamentally about people, whose unpredictable decisions and personality quirks affected what happened in the past. I also love the fact that history combines analytical rigour with imaginative creativity. After reading all the sources available for any particular historical event, the historian still has to use his/her imagination to try to explain peoples motivation! I grew up in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, attending a local state school before going to St. Hildas College, Oxford, where I studied History from 1984-87. I graduated with a First Class degree, then undertook doctoral research in early modern German history at Clare College, Cambridge. I completed my D.Phil. thesis, Women, Gender and Power in Rothenburg ob der Tauber and its Rural Environs, 1500-c.1618, in 1995, taught part-time at the University of Durham from 1990-92, then joined the Department of History at the University of Essex as a Lecturer in European History in 1992. I became a Professor in 2014, and was Head of Department from 2011-14. Supervision topics I supervise several B.A. dissertations and one or two M.A. dissertations in my main areas of research interest every year. Recently supervised M.A. dissertations include: Witchcraft in Early Modern Bergen: A Micro-Historical Approach(2011), by Lisa Lovheim Manningtree Rogues: The role of the searchers working during the East Anglian Witch-Hunt, 1645-1647(2011), by Joanne Maclachlan Womens Work and Paternalism in the Industrial Revolution. The Case of the Female Weavers in Samuel III Courtaulds Silk Factory in Halstead, 1825-1881(2010) by Margarita Stylianou. At MA by Dissertation level, I supervisedThe 400th Anniversary of the Lancashire Witch-Trials: Commemoration and its Meaning in 2012(2016), by Todd Bridges At M.Phil. level, I supervisedClerical masculinity in England, with particular focus on Essex and Suffolk, c. 1620-c.1700(2007), by Patricia Tate. At doctoral level, I sat on the supervisory boards of students who have successfully completed doctoral theses on sexual violence in early modern England; womens healthcare in early modern England and France; gender and domestic violence in 18th-century Malta; never-married people in 19th-century England and Wales; Caribbean womanhood and beauty contests; 19th-century Essex seaside resorts; manhood and authority in the armies of the 17th-century British civil wars; story-telling in the Scottish traveller community; and the enumeration of women's work in the British census. I was co-supervisor of the D.Phil. thesisIdeology and Identity. Married Womens Experience, c.1800-1900, by Carole Williams (2006). Currently I supervise a D.Phil. thesis on Quaker notions of masculinity in England, 1655-1760, by Rob Foulkes; and an MA dissertation onmedia representations of student protestat the University of Essex in the late 1960s,by Jack Street.

A YouTube Collection on the 10 Lesser-Known Ways to Catch Lunker Bass [VIDEO]
So you want to catch a lunker bass? These are the best lesser-known ways to ensure landing that trophy of a lifetime.
Have you been searching up and down for those elusive tips to catch those bass you only see on TV? What are the secrets to achieving this success, you ask?
Well, it's all out in the open and it's right here. We've gathered these tidbits from around the web and concocted a surefire way to put a lunker bass into your sneaky little hands.
Don't be tellin' now; keep it on the DL.
1. Chuck That Bait in the Tree
Remember all those times when your lure ended up in the trees? Remember all the colorful language you used? Well maybe karma was telling you something.
2. Throw a Plastic Frog as Far as You Can and Then Reel it in Like a Madman
A soft bait plastic frog is a subtle, slow presentation lure. It should be launched in a way that sets it on the water with minimal splash, left to still itself and then retrieved with an easy popping motion.
3. Fish in That Ditch at the End of the Street
We all have that honey hole drain-pipe down the street that we look at every day but have never taken the time to throw a soft bait into.
Maybe after this we'll try.
4. Find a Lunker and Make Friends with Him
Once you locate a lunker take a little time to get to know him. Maybe he likes bluegills or maybe he likes sushi.
In either case you'll both be better for it.
5. Fish in the Storm Sewer
You heard me, now go and pop the top, drop a line, and pull your lunker out of one today.
6. With a Bucket in the Backyard
Okay, it's a carp. But it's a lesser known way to catch one.
And it's a lunker.
7. Use an RC Boat
This is a great way to land a lunker and still drink your beer. You've never been able to fish around the rocks, or set the hook quite like you can when you fish this way.
Is technology ruining the outdoors? Not when it's this much fun.
8. By Hand
Why didn't we think of this before? It saves on gear and we love having more beer money.
I mean we were just going to put our thumb in his lip any way.
9. Again…
The trick here is to actually land the lunker.
10. Pure Luck
They say that it's better to be lucky than good. With that in mind, if I had some video of all the times that I caught a lunker that was pure luck, I would own YouTube.
I hope you enjoyed today's lecture on the lesser-known ways to catch a lunker bass. Somewhere in these videos is a method to this madness. Without trying to reason why, just know that the best plans sometimes don't work.
That's when we have to rely on the lesser-known ideas.
If this is thinking out of the box, then I want out of the box.

As a mechanic, you probably rely on your overhead doors as a part of your day-to-day routine. It can be easy to take them for granted during the course of a busy workday, but luckily, following a few simple maintenance tips can help you prevent any garage door-related problems. Follow these tips, and you should be able to enjoy your garage doors for a long time to come. Then, you can focus your time and efforts on other aspects of your business.
Seal Them Up
If your shop is like many, it probably gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Therefore, it's a good idea to add a strip of garage door-specific weatherstripping to the bottom. This can help you keep the temperature in your shop better regulated when the temperatures rise and plunge. Plus, you'll be able to keep water out of your shop when it rains and snows.
Keep Them Lubricated
You probably understand the importance of keeping oil in a car, but you might not have thought about adding lubricant to your overhead doors. However, your overhead doors cannot function properly if they are not properly lubricated. You can use any type of lubricant that you might have around your shop on all of the moving parts on your garage door, but just remember that a little bit goes a long way, so you don't need to add a lot.
Clean Them Regularly
No matter how hard you try, you probably have a tough time keeping dust, dirt and debris out of your shop. This debris can get caught in the tracks on your overhead doors and can make it difficult for your garage doors to function properly. Take the time to disconnect the power to your overhead doors on a regular basis so that you can wipe all of the tracks clean with a clean shop rag.
Fix Dents Right Away
In a busy day in the shop, it might not be uncommon for a customer to accidentally bump your overhead doors with their cars or lean against them and cause dents. Don't ignore these dents, however; along with making your shop look worn, these dents can also make it difficult for your garage door to open and close properly. Use a car dent repair kit to pull these dents out, or hire a garage door repair company like All Kind Door Services Ltd to tackle the job for you.
You might not pay a lot of attention to your garage doors throughout the course of a normal day at the shop, but taking the time to follow these tips can help you keep them in the best possible condition.Share

It is with great sadness that we inform our readers of the death of Richard Hogg at the age of just sixty-three. He had been one of the three founding editors of English Language and Linguistics and was set to continue in the role until his retirement in 2009. His death has come as a great shock. We wish to share with readers of ELL at this earliest opportunity our appreciation of, and affection for, our fellow-editor, colleague and friend.
This special volume is concerned with the syntax of nonstandard varieties of (mainly British) English, and how such syntactic variation is accounted for within a range of theoretical models. There has been a growing interest in the modelling of dialect syntax (a) in a number of languages and (b) in a number of syntactic theories (see, for instance, the research on syntactic microvariation in some Germanic languages in Barbiers, Cornips & van der Kelij, 2002, or the construction-based approach to variation in Leino & Östman, 2005). We have brought together five articles written in different theoretical frameworks (Principles and Parameters, Stochastic Optimality Theory, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Word Grammar, and Construction Grammar), together with an introduction written by the editors, who themselves adopt very different theoretical frameworks.
In our first editorial note, published in ELL 1.1 in 1997, we said:
There has until now been no one journal which covers the range that ELL is intended to cover, a 'natural class' of research interests which deserves to be treated in one place, and at the highest level. English Language and Linguistics exists to promote knowledge and inquiry in the interlocking fields of its title. We hope that ELL will prove so useful that authors will come to regard it as their first choice for submission, while readers turn to it readily because they know it is bound to contain work of value and interest.
In this corpus-based article we explore the development of evidential meanings in English verbs of appearance, together with their acquisition of evaluative meanings. We explore the relationship of these semantic changes to the question of whether there is an increase in subjectivity diachronically, and we show that subjectivity is orthogonal to both develop-ments: an increase in subjectivity appears rather to go with the spread of small clause constructions.
This article provides an overview of the relationship between studies of syntactic variation in dialects of English and theoretical accounts of language structure. In the first section of the article, we provide a discussion of the place of syntactic variation within various subdisciplines of linguistic enquiry: we address issues such as I- and E-language, the place of Standard English in linguistic theory, and interfaces between traditional dialectology, variationist sociolinguistics, and theoretical linguistics. These interfaces suggest the need for a clarification of the nature and status of the (morpho)syntactic variable, which we provide in section 3; and in section 4, we examine the way in which (morpho)syntactic variation is treated within a number of theoretical models – for instance, Principles and Parameters theory, HPSG, OT, and cognitive linguistics (including Word Grammar and Construction Grammar) – all of which feature in the other articles in this special issue.
This study of present-day English genitive variation is based on all interchangeable instances of s- and of-genitives from the 'Reportage' and 'Editorial' categories of the 'Brown family' of corpora. Variation is studied by tapping into a number of independent variables, such as precedence of either construction in the text, length of the possessor and possessum phrases, phonological constraints, discourse flow, and animacy of the possessor. In addition to distributional analyses, we use logistic regression to investigate the probabilistic factor weights of these variables, thus tracking language change in progress as evidenced in the language of the press. This method, married to our large database, yields the most detailed perspective to date on frequently discussed issues, such as the relative importance of possessor animacy and end-weight in genitive choice (cf. most recently Rosenbach 2005), or on the exact factorial dynamics responsible for the ongoing spread of the s-genitive.
The historical development of the English reciprocal expression each other exemplifies different aspects of language change, both morphosyntactic and semantic. This article examines the formation of the reciprocal marker from the perspective of grammaticalization theory, with a special focus on the relationship between grammaticalization and lexicalization. It will be argued that an adequate distinction between lexicalization and grammaticalization can only be achieved if we define the two concepts with reference not to an expression's grammatical status before and after the change, but rather to the diachronic processes involved, namely context expansion in the case of grammaticalization, and univerbation combined with fossilization in the case of lexicalization. The development of each other provides evidence for this view. It has its origin in syntactic structures of the type Each of the kings hates the others and has undergone univerbation and fossilization as well as context expansion. It will also be shown that definitions of lexicalization and grammaticalization that are too closely linked to the opposition between lexicon and grammar are problematic for an analysis of the changes undergone by the reciprocal marker. Furthermore, our analysis regards the development of each other as a case of simultaneous lexicalization and grammaticalization.
This article addresses the question of why certain epistemic verbs, particularly (I) think, have very high rates of zero complementizer in their clausal complements. I consider and reject the influential proposal from Thompson & Mulac (1991b) that the occurrence of zero complementizer in these contexts is associated with syntactic reanalysis of the epistemic verb and its subject to an adverbial-like epistemic phrase. Instead, I propose that zero complementizer signals a shift in the informational structure of the utterance, in which the embedded clause conveys the main assertion, but the syntactic structure of the sentence need not be altered. Further routinization is evident with I think but not with other epistemic verbs. Results from a study of newspaper prose are presented in support of the analysis.
This article discusses the existence of transitive expletives in a variety of English. Belfast English has none of the features previously proposed as licensing transitive expletives, but nevertheless allows these, calling into question previous analyses of the licensing of this structure. This article considers the properties of transitive expletives in this variety, showing that they are restricted to sentences where the associate is quantified, and that the associate can appear in a range of positions, similar but not identical to those available to 'floated' quantifiers. It is argued that Belfast English has a higher merge position for the expletive than does Standard English, and that the general availability in English of quantifier positions between T and vP – perhaps because auxiliaries in English head phases, and phases can be closed by a quantification – means that, even though Belfast English is not a Verb Second language, a position is available for both the expletive and the associate.
In this article I present extensive quantitative evidence showing that it is possible to distinguish different Middle English varieties on the basis of the treatment of word-initial h-, and that it is necessary to postulate that, in some varieties, word-initial h- fails to surface in given contexts, though being present as a consonantal phoneme in the underlying representation. This casts a new light on the old problem of whether word-initial h- was lost in Middle English and restored at a later stage: the data presented here suggest that h- loss was never generalized, though h-less forms did surface as contextual variants of h-ful forms.
A case is made for the derivation of the regional word eagre 'tidal surge', 'bore', and relatives or variants found in other contexts, from OE ē(a)gor- meaning 'flood' or the like, despite the phonological difficulty. A Latin source is proposed. The evidence for the word is considered alongside place-name evidence, and explanations are tentatively reaffirmed, and proposed, respectively, for two problematic names in Nottinghamshire and Gloucestershire.
Variation within grammars is a reflection of variation between grammars.
Subject agreement and synthetic negation for the verb be show extraordinary local variation in the Survey of English Dialects (Orton et al., 1962–71). Extracting partial grammars of individuals, we confirm leveling patterns across person, number, and negation (Ihalainen, 1991; Cheshire, Edwards & Whittle, 1993; Cheshire, 1996). We find that individual variation bears striking structural resemblances to invariant dialect paradigms, and also reflects typologically observed markedness properties (Aissen, 1999). In the framework of Stochastic Optimality Theory (Boersma & Hayes, 2001), variable outputs of individual speakers are expected to be constrained by the same typological and markedness generalizations found crosslinguistically. The stochastic evaluation of candidate outputs in individual grammars reranks individual constraints by perturbing their ranking values, with the potential for stable variation between two near-identical rankings. The stochastic learning mechanism is sensitive to variable frequencies encountered in the linguistic environment, whether in geographical or social space. In addition to relating individual and group dialectal variation to typological variation (Kortmann, 1999; Anderwald, 2003), the findings suggest that an individual grammar is sensitively tuned to frequencies in the linguistic environment, leading to isolated loci of variability in the grammar rather than complete alternations of paradigms.
A characteristic of linguistic variation that has emerged in distinct fields of enquiry is that variation within a single grammar bears a close resemblance to variation across grammars. Sociolinguistic studies, for instance, have long observed that 'variation within the speech of a single speaker derives from the variation which exists between speakers' (Bell, 1984: 151). In the present study, individual patterns of variation in subject–verb agreement with affirmative and negative be extracted from the Survey of English Dialects(SED, Orton et al., 1962–71) show striking structural resemblances to patterns of interdialectal, or categorical, variation.
In this article, I investigate the implications of socially meaningful sociolinguistic variation for competence grammar, working from the point of view of HPSG as a kind of performance-plausible sign-based grammar. Taking data from African American Vernacular English variable copula absence as a case study, I argue that syntactic constraints and social meaning are intertwined. I present an overview of the literature on social meaning, discuss what grammars are models of, and argue that in order to model socially meaningful variation, competence grammars need to be extended to include social meaning, precompiled phrases, and probabilistic or frequentistic information. I then explore different heuristics for defining the boundaries of competence grammar and discuss the commonalities between the proposed additions and the kind of linguistic knowledge which is generally assumed to comprise competence grammar.
This article investigates the history of what Wells (1982), in his account of present-day accents of English, calls 'hyper-rhoticity'. That is, the appearance, in rhotic accents, of epenthetic, unetymological rhyme-/r/, usually taking the form of /r/-colouring in modern accents. It is attested most commonly in final unstressed syllables, but may also occur in syllable rhymes after a long, stressed vowel. The article traces the history of this phenomenon and attempts to show that Early Modern English data which have hitherto been interpreted as evidence for loss of /r/ in such contexts are better attributed to hyper-rhoticity. It is also argued here, in an addendum, that not to accept claims for early /r/-loss in unstressed syllables has wider implications for the history of English phonology. That is, to reject theories of loss of /r/ in final unstressed syllables demands rejection of the notion of early articulatory weakening of /r/ in this context, which has been seen as a prelude to the spread of weakening to other contexts, leading ultimately to loss of rhoticity.
This article sets out to clarify the contribution of syntactic properties and subject weight for variation between verb–subject and subject–verb order in a database of fourteenth- and fifteenth-century prose. It sets out the syntactic structures which are assumed, and investigates the impact on ordering of a set of factors, using established quantitative methodologies. A series of conclusions includes the continuing distinct status of initial then, the systematic importance of clause-final position, the different impacts of subject length in different contexts, and the presence of a definiteness effect for the late placement of a subject after a nonfinite unaccusative.
Linguists are able to describe, transcribe, and classify the differences and similarities between accents formally and precisely, but there has until very recently been no reliable and objective way of measuring degrees of difference. It is one thing to say how varieties are similar, but quite another to assess how similar they are. On the other hand, there has recently been a strong focus in historical linguistics on the development of quantitative methods for comparing and classifying languages; but these have tended to be applied to problems of language family membership, at rather high levels in the family tree, not down at the level of individual accents. In this article, we outline our attempts to address the question of relative similarity of accents using quantitative methods. We illustrate our method for measuring phonetic similarity in a sample of cognate words for a number of (mainly British) varieties of English, and show how these results can be displayed using newer and more innovative network diagrams, rather than trees. We consider some applications of these methods in tracking ongoing changes in English and beyond, and discuss future prospects.
The article focuses on inherent variability in syntax and the challenge that it presents for theories of language structure, using illustrative data from the Scottish town of Buckie (Smith, 2000). Inherent variability challenges a linguistic theory at three levels of theoretical adequacy: structural (Does the theory distinguish the relevant structures?), contextual (Does it allow structures to be related directly to their social context?), and behavioural (Does it allow an explanation for the observed frequencies?). The article summarizes the relevant claims of Word Grammar and shows (1) that it has at least as much structural adequacy as any other theory, (2) that it has more contextual adequacy than other theories because it formalizes the theory of Acts of Identity, and (3) that it at least provides a theoretical foundation for future advances towards behavioural adequacy. The article also argues against the minimalist analysis of the was/were alternation in Buckie (Adger, 2006).
This article tries to fill a descriptive gap in the literature on English possessive NPs by offering a systematic description of indefinite possessive NPs (e.g. a friend's house, a widow's pension, men's suits). Specifically, two descriptive issues are dealt with. Firstly, the different types of determining indefinite genitives are discussed. It is shown that indefinite determiner genitives can have specific reference, generalized reference or generic reference. Moreover, it is argued that in all of these cases, the indefinite genitive specifies a reference point (Langacker 1993) for the identification of the 'possessee' and functions as a grounding predication. It is also proposed that subsective gradience (Aarts 2004, 2007) can be diagnosed for determining genitives, i.e. that more central and more peripheral members can be distinguished within this category. Secondly, the distinction between determining and nondetermining, classifying genitives (e.g. a [woman's magazine] 'a magazine for women') is re-examined. This distinction is relevant to the description of indefinite possessive NPs, since they have been considered as evidence for a fuzzy boundary between determining and nondetermining genitives (Taylor 1996, Rosenbach 2006). It is argued, against such an analysis, that the two functions of the genitive can be clearly distinguished, even in 'bridging contexts' (Evans & Wilkins 2000), i.e. contexts in which both a determining and a nondetermining reading are supported. Consequently, there is no intersective gradience (Aarts 2004, 2007) between determining and nondetermining genitives on the level of the constructional semantics.
Adele Goldberg, Constructions at work: The nature of generalization in language. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006. vii + 280.
Goldberg's new work 'investigates the nature of our knowledge of language, how that knowledge is acquired by children, and how crosslinguistic and language-internal generalizations can be explained'. It builds on earlier research on Construction Grammar (CxG) by Fillmore (1986), Lakoff (1987), Fillmore, Kay & O'Connor (1988), and Goldberg (1995), among others. Since the mid-1990s constructions have become more and more popular as an alternative to Chomsky's (1995) Minimalist Program, but it was not until the new millennium that CxG reached a new level of interest that resulted in an ever-growing body of research (for an overview, see Fried & Östman 2004). Besides numerous articles and monographs, the increased interest in CxG is evidenced by a book series and an e-journal devoted to constructional research, as well as the bi-annual International Conference on Construction Grammar (ICCG). The publication of Goldberg (1995) inspired much constructional research over the past decade, most notably Croft's (2001) typologically oriented approach to CxG and Tomasello's (2003) constructional account of language acquisition.
This study investigates reduction of 1SG possessives in possessive–noun constructions in Lancashire dialect. On the basis of a corpus of twenty-six interviews we show that reduction patterns according to (in)alienability. This dialectal evidence runs counter to the normal assumption about English, i.e. that there is no such effect. Following work by Haspelmath (2006b) that reinterprets iconicity effects in terms of frequency, we proceed to show that frequency may indeed underlie alienability/iconicity in our data as well. Relative frequency seems more useful in capturing the correlation with reduction than absolute frequency. For a few [1SGPOSS-N] combinations the reduction facts are problematic for the frequency-based account we offer. These difficulties might seem to disappear in the light of the construction grammar notion of schemas, but we point out that this notion itself has serious theoretical problems associated with it. Future theory-driven work on dialect grammar may help resolve these issues.

The time period traditional car can cover a wide range of definitions. The Basic Car Club of America considers special automobiles built between 1925 and 1948 to be the general tips. They are sometimes vehicles that both had a particular high quality or qualities that made it stand out then and that also endures. Others don' limit the definition of basic vehicles to these years. To these folks the Aston Martin DB7, the 1971 Bentley Corniche and any version of the Delorean would definitely qualify as classic cars. Classic automobile fans will journey great distances to see the automotive of their goals. When some of these vehicles are available at auctions the competition can be fierce and the costs that they promote for may be impressive. However you choose to outline the traditional automobile, there are numerous people who dedicate their money and time to these stunning and important automobiles.
The boyfriend/girlfriend saga is all the time a big challenge. I do know when I used to be working in insurance it all the time got here up. Whether it was for Reductions, or for accidents or tickets, it is consistently an ongoing subject. It's all the time altering too, so I'd advise you to your Insurance coverage service or Agent about it to learn the way they deal with boyfriend/girlfriend points. You do not want to get stuck with an accident simply to have the relationship finish after which get stuck with the points in your policy for 2-3 years!
It's because of this huge community that our minds are capable of do such amazing things. We can access a single piece of information from unimaginably huge database in milliseconds. We remedy problems in new and different ways. We create metaphors and allegories. However, constantly changing connections can result in a flaw called memory misattribution.
The amount of protection wanted is subjective and unique to each household. The bottom line is, how a lot do you wish to defend your earnings and belongings. Insurance is intangible, so it is a type of things where you're feeling such as you're wasting your money and getting nothing in return…till you want it. A standard myth is that in the event you do not own anything you possibly can't be sued for something. This is not true. Future wages might be misplaced in case you are at fault and shouldn't have enough coverage.
These firms are amongst the preferred on the planet, producing some unimaginable kits for on- or off-road models. Nonetheless, compared to the UK, there are only a few companies around the world. The UK is without doubt one of the greatest places to be in if package automobiles are your factor. Not solely do you get lots of variety, you find an enormous variety of manufacturers offering you a wider range of kit automobiles than ever before.

Predictions: Seasoned spliff gave him a stroke
A man in his early 20s was brought to my attention in a very disturbing state, with relatives saying he was suffering from a mental
His arms were twisted, one of his legs bent, mouth draining water, and he couldn't speak properly. After fully analysing him, I told realised his condition was caused by a blood vessel in his brain bursting. This is what caused the stroke. To my knowledge, this was cause by a seasoned spliff (a handmade cigarette containing a mixture of marijuana and hard drugs).
After extensive treatment, the young man made a full recovery and I warned him that smoking could lead to a relapse. He ignored my advice and took up smoking again, got sick again and died. I told him what would happen if he continued to smoke, but I guess some things just have to manifest or come to pass.
This story is about a little girl who was demon-possessed and had been hallucinating for some time before she was brought to my attention, and was speaking with a very pronounced male voice.
After studying her condition, I realised that she was victim of strong demonic forces which had taken up residence in her sub-conscious and had taken full control of her life. If left unattended, this condition could also lead to a mental breakdown.
The complexity of the situation required that I work with the physical and scientific elements of the moon to help this youngster. It took a lot of work, but within a month, under my guidance the teenager had been restored to a normal life and was back in school. This was after she had been treated with conventional therapy. She had a hard time believing some of the things the relatives told her she had undergone.
A brilliant young man from St Ann was doing very well in school until he and other students took up studying the occult and mysticism, which led to him becoming insane. In desperation, relatives brought him to me after being unable to find a cure.
I had to dig deep in my
oracle, asking parents and family members many questions pertaining to his unusual behaviour. To my conclusion, he was demon-possessed. I immediately started the process of exorcism (to get rid of demons or ghosts). I had to go back to the house where he was from to get rid of ghosts. To my readers, this work takes a lot of professionalism because when someone is demon-possessed, the demon is in total control of their body.
On his last visit (three months later), after a certain amount of work for which I was satisfactorily paid, this young man is now back in school, but does most of his studying alone and now keeps little or no friends whatsoever. He promised me faithfully that he wouldn't try to study certain subjects again (the occult or mysticism).

Break Time for Nursing Mothers
Policy 1341
Break Time for Nursing Mothers
Date of Current Revision: July 2017
Primary Responsible Officer: Director of Human Resources
The purpose of this policy is to establish guidelines for break times for nursing mothers at James Madison University as provided by Section 7(r) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which applies to all employees.
The Board of Visitors has been authorized by the Commonwealth of Virginia to govern James Madison University. See Code of Virginia § 23.1-1600; § 23.1-1301. The Board has delegated the authority to manage the university to the president.
The Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 USC 201, et seq., as amended by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (2010) requires, among other things, that employers provide a nursing mother reasonable break time to express breast milk after the birth of her child. The amendment also requires that employers provide a place for an employee to express breast milk.
The amended FLSA provisions are essentially the same as those of House Joint Resolution 145 and House Bill 1264, both passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 2002.
Exempt Employee
An employee who is exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA and is therefore not eligible to be paid overtime by the university. Such positions are normally supervisory, management, administrative, or specialized positions such as faculty members and information technology, and must meet the specific criteria for exemption established by the FLSA. The FLSA status of each position is evaluated using the primary duties and responsibilities of that position, not the working title.
Fair Labor Standards Act
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) establishes wage and salary requirements, hours worked, and overtime pay, among other things affecting full-time and part-time workers. Overtime pay at a rate of not less than time and a half the regular rate of pay is required after 40 hours of work in a workweek.
Non-Exempt Employee
An employee who is not exempt from the overtime provisions of the FLSA and therefore must be paid at a rate of not less than time and a half the regular rate of pay for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA)
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 is a federal health-care reform statute, which contains provisions for the protection of health and other related provisions. Section 4207 of the PPACA amends Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act, requiring employers to provide breaks for nursing mothers.
This policy applies to all employees, including student workers.
- An employee shall be eligible for this benefit up to, but not beyond, one year after the child's birth.
- This benefit is available to employees during their basic workweek and any overtime or additional hours worked.
In accordance with The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which amended section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), James Madison University employees will be allowed reasonable, unpaid break time to express milk for a nursing child for up to one year after the child's birth, each time such employee has need to express milk. A specific location will be provided, other than a bathroom, which is shielded from view and free from intrusion from co-workers and the public.
6.1 Employees who wish to express milk during the work period should keep supervisors informed of their needs so that appropriate accommodations can be made to satisfy the needs of both the employee and the department.
6.2 Reasonable Break Time
The university allows nursing mothers a reasonable amount of break time to express milk as frequently as needed. The frequency of breaks, as well as the duration of each break will likely vary. Although an employee is not required to, she may use her normal break time and/or meal period for this purpose or a reasonable amount of time during her regular work shift.
6.2.1 If possible, the nursing or milk expressing time is to run concurrently with any break time already provided. For Non-Exempt employees, break times of 15 minutes or less will be considered 'paid time,' while breaks of more than 15 minutes will be 'unpaid' time, as long as she is away from her work station and free from regular work duties. Therefore, supervisors, in consultation with their employees, are encouraged to use "flextime" for the purposes of expressing milk.
6.2.2 Non-Exempt and Exempt classified employees may opt to use appropriate leave, in lieu of using flextime for the purposes of expressing milk.
6.3 Dedicated Space
University departments will dedicate space for nursing mothers upon return to work, if requested by the employee to express milk for her child. A temporary space created or converted for expressing milk will be made available when needed by the nursing mother. A bathroom does not meet the requirements of this statute. This space must be shielded from view, lockable, have a place to sit, as well as an electrical outlet. See Lactation Rooms on Campus.
6.4 Storage
The ability to safely store expressed milk for her child is required under this policy. While the university is not required to provide refrigeration options for nursing mothers, they must be allowed to bring a pump and insulated food container to work for expressing and storing the milk and a place where she can store the pump and insulated food container while she is at work (e.g., a locker, closet, cabinet, or other space where the pump and container will not be disturbed or contaminated).
Employees are encouraged to give their supervisors advance notice of their intent to take breaks at work to express milk and must discuss appropriate scheduling options with their supervisors.
Supervisors may ask an expectant employee if she intends to take breaks to express milk upon her return to work. This will facilitate the supervisor's ability to comply with the law (e.g. determining an acceptable location for expressing milk, coverage during the employee's break, etc.).
Human Resources will provide guidance and assistance about these requirements to employees and their supervisors to assure compliance with the PPACA and Section 7 of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Sanctions will be commensurate with the severity and/or frequency of the offense and may include termination of employment.
The authority to interpret this policy rests with the president, and is generally delegated to the director of human resources.

So many friends of mine have asked why this name, well I've been told I look Russian and this blog is from my point of view. Allure is the draw of one's eye or attention through beauty. This blog is about all the beautiful things in this world… where news updates of wars and hatred is a daily given.
I am so tired of hearing people being mistreated and hurt for the way they look or they way they are. Do not get me wrong, for as long as we live this shall continue but to point out the good and the beautiful in this world it may make life a bit more pleasant.
We all may have different views on what is beautiful, but I hope that you agree with me on things I shall share with you. Whether it's in fashion, daily life, nature or whatever, I would like to show you the world through my eyes…
I hope you all enjoy my blog and share an interest with me.

Gibraltar first minister calls on Brexit Tory MPs 'to think very carefully'
Gibraltar-loving Tory MPs have been accused by its chief minister of putting their Euroscepticism before his people's best interests by backing Brexit.
In a sharp caution to long-term allies to think again, Fabian Picardo suggested it was not "compatible" to be a "real friend" of the overseas territory and vote to force it out of the EU against its will.
He also accused the Government of leaving The Rock in the lurch by refusing to conduct any contingency planning in the event of a Leave vote in the referendum.
Chief minister Fabian Picardo accused the Government of leaving Gibraltar in the lurch
Mr Picardo is pushing to highlight to UK voters what he believes would be the disastrous consequences for his country of withdrawal from the EU, with Spain "ready to pounce".
Its 22,000 residents - who are British citizens - have a vote in the referendum and are expected with few exceptions to back Remain amid fears Madrid could close its vital border as part of a new drive to reclaim sovereignty.
The chief minister told the Press Association there was "no doubt that we would be worse off outside the European Union" and he was "not in the business of risking Gibraltar's continued economic prosperity".
Tory MP Andrew Rosindell is among the most vocal defenders of the territory's right to remain part of the UK in the face of Spanish claims and a prominent member of the Conservative Friends of Gibraltar.
But he is one of several members of the all-party group on Gibraltar - including its Tory chairman Jack Lopresti and Democratic Unionist Ian Paisley - who intend to back a Brexit on June 23.
Mr Picardo questi oned their commitment, insisting vital help from the European Commission in forcing Madrid to respect free movement at the border "would go out of the window" if the Eurosceptics won the argument.
"I'd say the majority of the group is in favour of staying in," he told PA.
"But we do have people who are very good friends of Gibraltar and who have long argued that they would like to see the UK out of the European Union.
"I ask them to think very carefully about what they are doing and how that could reflect on Gibraltar. To such a extent that I wonder if it is compatible to be in favour of Brexit and call yourself a real friend of Gibraltar. I say that advisedly.
"I know that Andrew and others have been great friends of Gibraltar and I know that they feel great friends of Gibraltar. We consider them friends too.
"But the consequences of Brexit are so potentially dangerous to Gibraltar and the risks to which we will be exposed are so huge that I think if you really put on your thinking cap for Gibraltar, you would only come to the conclusion that Brexit is an unnecessary risk to take.
"They say that they are sure that the United Kingdom would defend Gibraltar etc etc. But it is difficult when you ask people 'how?' and to say more about what they would do, to see that they have no answers other than pure speculation."
Mr Picardo said he was lobbying Europe minister David Lidington to drop a Whitehall ban on contingency planning to allow discussions on issues such as whether Gibraltar would be included in any post-Brexit trade deals.
"The UK Government is not planning for an exit," Mr Picardo said.
"I would certainly rather it was because frankly I think we need to be ready for all eventualities.
"Their instructions are that they cannot at this stage explore what might happen in the event of an exit because the position of the Government is to support staying in."
He said his government was looking at how to minimise the potential damage.
"The fact that the result of the referendum is not in yet is not going to stop us trying to consider all of those issues," he continued.
"Even if we are not issuing press releases on the subject at this stage, we need to understand what we could be able to do in the context of that new reality.
"If the United Kingdom were negotiating a trade deal with China, why should Gibraltar be included with it if the rest of the overseas territories are not? Ditto the United States for example.
"For Gibraltar you can take it as a given that we would find it very difficult indeed to negotiate bilateral trade deals with the United States or Canada or any other that the trading bloc of the UK might be able to do deals with.
"Our current economic model is based on the ability to freely provide services in the single market.
"Therefore the proposal to leave the single market, without clarity as to what access we might have or might be able to agree, is very worrying indeed.
"It is all in the realms of speculation and that therefore involves risk and I am not in the business of risking Gibraltar's continued economic prosperity.
"I have no doubt that we would be worse off outside the European Union because our current prosperity has demonstrated just what membership of the EU can mean."
Mr Picardo said he feared pro-Brexit voters were more motivated to get to the ballot box and urged the Conservative and Labour leaderships to step up their efforts to enthuse others to turn up to tick the Remain box.
"Those who want to remain within the European Union should exercise their right to vote because those who are going to vote for the United Kingdom to be outside the EU are certainly going to be ensuring that they have set aside June 23 as a day that they need to be involved in voting," he said.
"I am convinced that with all parties demonstrating to their membership how important the European Union can be going forward, the result should be a clear majority for the 'in' campaign.
"But the political leaders have a responsibility to make the argument.
"The Labour Party need to champion membership of the European Union as something that is important to working people as much as the Conservative Party needs to champion membership of the European Union is important to business."

So other than a few doll pics, this is home. I'm definitely not a decorator, I can't afford antiques, and (to fans of minimalism), my house is busy. But it is home, and we like it. Pardon the picture heavy post...it just worked out that way.
These are the Izzies I'm still working to dress, lined up by the hearth in the family room. I like to keep them in "found" old clothes because when they're all sitting around naked, they whisper at me. (Dresssss usssss!!!) They're a motley crew, but it'll get better.
Remember after reading captions that you can click on the photos to enlarge them.
|16" and 21" Izannah Walker repros...I love the red coat, but it doesn't fit her well. I'll make a revised pattern from it, though.
|21" Izannah, in a chair my Father-in-law made, with her lamb.
|16" and 21" Izannahs, one with only her petticoat and the other in a flannel nightgown.
These are tucked in behind the Christmas tree, under the living room window. One is the Harry Coleman Walker Doll, the others are jan-made and up for adoption.
|Waiting for Santa.
Here's a series of views from the chairs in the room. I love chairs, and the hubs says I have a Chair Orphanage in our house, because I bring home strays. But it makes for plenty of seating, right?
|Our house defies a color scheme. Blonde pine and dark Brazilian cherry? No problem.
|Stained concrete floors...easy to clean, tough and beautiful. I carved the fish with a Dremmel out of a pc of 2 x 12. Upper right is an antique calendar page/print of Dogs Playing Poker. There's just no accounting for taste.
|This coffee table has been with us since the kids were little...proud of its scars. I painted it in (?) 2007. The hubs created the leather insert for the mirror...his Triple Horse Celtic Knotwork pattern.
|The man I love is a skilled carpenter/cabinet maker with leather working talent. Am I spoiled much? :~D
|View from the glider chair. The Thoreau quotation tapestry is embroidery cotton on linen...I worked on it for years, but finished the border in 2010 while sitting with my Daddy in hospice.
|View from the blonde pine chair toward the kitchen door. Schult's purple pig goes well with the rug, don't you think?
|View from the dining room.
|Our simple Christmas table. The big map on the wall is of San Antonio. We love maps.
And of course, these rooms are full of dolls, tucked here and there. I don't have an organized way of displaying them (although the hubs has offered to build a couple of glass-door cases next year for the more fragile ones...woohoo!)
Crazy Wax doll has found a friend, and so has the Martha doll, although she's still mad at me for leaving her in jammies with a people-size Santa Hat. Humiliating.
|Messy bookshelves, dear dolls.
|Martha-baby and friends. She's still not talking to me. I don't blame her.
Be well.

I recently received emails and calls from people in our community wanting to know how to better secure their businesses. Here are some tips:
Robbery prevention
Keep your cash register in plain view from the outside of your business so that it can be monitored by police and passersby during and after business hours.
Keep only small amounts of cash in the register. Empty cash drawers and leave them open after hours.
Make bank deposits often and during business hours, but don't establish a noticeable pattern.
Be sure your safe is fireproof, securely anchored and in plain view. Use a drop safe so cash cannot be taken out once it is put in, and post signs accordingly.
Do not keep valuable goods in display windows when the store is closed.
Consider installing anti-theft devices on inventory.
Train your employees to report any suspicious activity or person immediately, and write down the information for future reference.
Make sure employees know how to reduce opportunities for shoplifting. Use mirrors to eliminate "blind spots" that might hide shoplifters.
Talk to employees about what to do if confronted with a robber. Remind them that they should cooperate to avoid harm and notify police immediately.
Establish and enforce clear policies about employee theft, and educate employees about these policies regularly.
Mark valuable equipment such as registers, computers, air conditioners, and calculators with an identification number (driver license of owner preferred). Post around the store warning signs that equipment has been marked appropriately for police.
Emergency preparedness
Create a company emergency plan, and post evacuation plans in highly visible areas.
Make sure employees are aware of their responsibilities in an emergency and know exit routes and evacuation plans for a building.
Provide fire extinguishers, first-aid kits, and individual preparedness kits in the correct size and number for the facility.
Designate a meeting location for employees if the building or shopping center is evacuated.
Create emergency plans with telephone numbers of employees who are disabled or require assistance.
Finally, keep lights inside and outside on especially around doors, windows, skylights and other entry points. Before investing in an alarm system, decide what level of security fits your needs and learn how to use your system properly. Train all employees who open or close on how to use the system. Keys that are issued to employees should be stamped "do not duplicate" and make them sign a commitment to that affect.
In California
Recently, I visited San Jose, California, and attended a Neighborhood Watch meeting with the San Jose Police Department.
It's amazing that although we are thousands of miles apart, their issues are the same as ours here in South Florida. Mini Le, a crime prevention coordinator there for 20 years, deals with the same concerns we have here, such as "lock your cars," "call the police when you see something suspicious," "turn your front porch light on," and "don't leave your gun in the car." It was a great meeting and we exchanged ideas and recommendations for stronger Neighborhood Watch programs. I look forward to staying in touch with Le to better serve both our communities.
