A journey on how to make our bilingual kids embrace Spanish as a complete language. Giving children the opportunity to have fun while learning to speak, read and write proper Spanish. I remember using them as a kid at my school in Argentina. Well, they have a website with simple and amusing activities that you can print and do with your kids. Given the fact that most of our kids are already familiar with educational sites, I thought it could be a great idea to keep them in front of the computer to practice their Spanish. I think it is worth for you to spend some time checking this site because they have an interesting proposal on how to practice our language. There you can find several activities. Take your time to analyze this site and find those lessons that your kids might like. The pages are similarly structured as the homework our kids are given in school so they will feel familiar with them. Besides, today, schools in United States are also encouraging the usage of Internet for educational purposes.
Free Dating Site
By Aaron Smith and Maeve Duggan One in ten Americans have used an online dating site or mobile dating app themselves, and many people now know someone else who uses online dating or who has found a spouse or long-term partner via online dating. General public attitudes towards online dating have become much more positive in recent years, and social networking sites are now playing a prominent role when it comes to navigating and documenting romantic relationships. Online dating is also relatively popular among the college-educated, as well as among urban and suburban residents.
Attitudes towards online dating are becoming more positive over time Even today, online dating is not universally seen as a positive activity—a significant minority of the public views online dating skeptically. At the same time, public attitudes towards online dating have grown more positive in the last eight years: In general, online daters themselves give the experience high marks.

Controversy[ edit ] Anthropologist Helen Fisher in What happens in the dating world can reflect larger currents within popular culture. For example, when the book The Rules appeared, it touched off media controversy about how men and women should relate to each other, with different positions taken by New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd [58] and British writer Kira Cochrane of The Guardian. Sara McCorquodale suggests that women meeting strangers on dates meet initially in busy public places, share details of upcoming dates with friends or family so they know where they'll be and who they'll be with, avoid revealing one's surname or address, and conducting searches on them on the Internet prior to the date.
Don't leave drinks unattended; have an exit plan if things go badly; and ask a friend to call you on your cell phone an hour into the date to ask how it's going. If you explain beautifully, a woman does not look to see whether you are handsome or not — but listens more, so you can win her heart. That is why I advise our boys to read stories and watch movies more and to learn more beautiful phrases to tell girls.
The Internet is shaping the way new generations date. Facebook , Skype , Whatsapp , and other applications have made remote connections possible. Online dating tools are an alternate way to meet potential dates. The average duration of courtship before proceeding to engagement or marriage varies considerably throughout the world. He has to build his own house, store lots of tobacco and dry coffee leaves for the girl's parents and have many cows and goats. If the girl is from a wealthy family the dowry given to her parents is worth about to cows, about 1, sheep or goats, five camels and three rifles.
Shanghai marriage market Patterns of dating are changing in China, with increased modernization bumping into traditional ways. One report in China Daily suggests that dating for Chinese university women is "difficult" and "takes work" and steals time away from academic advancement, and places women in a precarious position of having to balance personal success against traditional Chinese relationships.

Music: Drum Workshop
Years 5, 6 and 7 had a very exciting start to the term taking part a morning of inspirational drum workshops lead by Matthew Bannock-Priest, who's son is a former Sandroydian, and Jonathan Hilton-King.
The morning was concluded with a complete treat: Matthew performing some of the biggest hits from his band, Dodgy, and then a jamming/ improvising session with Jonathan. The pupils and staff seemed mesmerised, not wanting the morning to come to an end. I am sure Matthew and Jonathan will be back by popular demand.

I have two equilateral triangles with the same edge lengths, each defined by a set of three points: $(p_1, p_2, p_3)$ and $(q_1, q_2, q_3)$, respectively. Point $p_1$ overlaps with point $q_1$ and point $p_2$ overlaps with point $q_2$.
I would like to rotate $p_3$ so that it overlays $q_3$. Proceeding, let $p_{1,2}$ and $q_{1,2}$ be the mean of $p_1$ and $p_2$ and $q_1$ and $q_2$, respectively, allowing us to define direction vectors $v_p = (p_3 - p_{1,2})$ and $v_q = (q_3 - q_{1,2})$. We can then recover the angle $\theta$ between the two direction vectors using the relationship $\theta = ArcCos[\frac{Dot[v_p,v_q]}{||v_p||*||v_q||}]$, multiply by the appropriate rotation matrix, and we've overlayed $p_3$ and $q_3$.
But there's a problem - how can I determine the sign of the rotation angle $\theta$?
Is there some test involving the dot product or the sign of the cross product that allows me to decide on the appropriate sign? Or must I sort of do this by brute force - try both, and measure the distance between $p_3$ and $q_3$?
Update - The brute force approach works where we do a simple distance test and try both signs. No surprises there. But this seems like a really inelegant approach.

Regular participatory music programmes should be considered "essential for all UK care homes" because of the wellbeing boost they deliver to residents and staff alike, a new report argues.
An evaluation of projects across five care homes found that participating in and delivering three-month interventions can provide "positive social experiences as well as creative engagement, fun and a sense of achievement".
The sessions were found to play a key role in "awakening a sense of identify and empowerment" for residents, as well as strengthening their relationships with staff and noticeably improving the overall atmosphere in homes.
Residents took part in 45-minute weekly sessions, which were led by pairs of trained professional musicians, and focused on singing and the use of voice.
The benefits for residents included gratification gained through their musical contributions, better mood, and physical exercise through moving in response to the music. The effect on some was dramatic, moving people "from withdrawal to expression".
But the report urges sensitivity when planning programmes, because some types of music have the potential to disturb residents.
Percussion instruments are not always appropriate, because they can make some people "confused and anxious".
And having found that some residents withdrew from more complex rhythms or unfamiliar repertoire, the report recommends that schemes should balance these with simpler and less challenging music.
The authors say that to make the most of music interventions, strategic planning from the outset is necessary, to establish "an essential structure and definition of tasks".
Care Home Management will be looking deeper into the evidence base for music-based care home activity in its January issue. Care home managers can subscribe free of charge by contacting the editor.

easyJet has launched a new iPhone app that has been designed to incorporate feedback from App Store reviews, emails received and forums with frequent flyers and thus deliver a more personalised experience for each customer.
One example of the increased functionality is that on the day of travel, relevant flight information will appear seamlessly on the homepage with destination imagery shown for searched and booked flights.
Since the launch of easyJet's first iPhone app in 2011 the app has evolved from easy booking and check-in functionality to include popular features like passport scanning, live flight tracking, mobile boarding passes and Touch ID. It is also now complimented by the easyJet Apple Watch app.
More recently the 'easyJet mobile host' – available for London Gatwick Airport – guides passengers, step by step, on their day of travel with airport directions, queue times, walk times and other flight reminders and updates.
The new app also includes a countdown to travel and passenger details such as payment details and passport information can be easily retrieved. Bags, sports equipment, seats, hotels & car hire can also be quickly added to an existing booking as well as a range of helpful push notifications relevant to travel.
The app is available for download now from the App Store, with an Android version planned for later this year.

Every second German financial manager considers the blockchain technology to be relevant for the future. However, only very few invest. This is the result of a recent study by the consulting firm PwC. The results reveal a clear gap: While more and more financial experts are taking distributed ledger technologies seriously, in Germany comprehensive investments are a long way off. This could have bitter consequences for the German financial sector, as global competitors are investing purposefully in DLTs.
The blockchain continues to dominate the global headlines this year as well. The much-discussed promise: drastic cost savings and groundbreaking transformation potential – especially for the banking and financial sector.
Bankers in particular are confident in the Bitcoin code
The question of mere hype or serious hope for the financial sector tested by onlinebetrug was posed by the consulting firm PwC in its current study on the role of the Bitcoin code blockchain for the financial sector.
To this end, around 300 executives of German banks, insurance companies and asset managers were asked about their expectations and perceptions of blockchain technology, its current adaptation and their assessments of crypto currencies. The results reveal a seemingly contradictory picture: While the blockchain is becoming more and more visible to business leaders, especially in comparison to the previous year, there is currently still a gap in the actual amount of attention paid.
For example, more than half of the managers surveyed rate the blockchain as "relevant to the business". Furthermore, almost one third of the financial managers estimate that the blockchain will have a strong influence on the financial business in the next ten years. Another two thirds believe that it will influence their business model at least "to a medium extent" in the next ten years.
Almost half of them expect Bitcoin code to be a means of increasing profits in the long term
Financial sector without hurry regarding the crypto currencies a risk and Bitcoin code a scam. Despite the high level of popularity, the industry does not seem to be preparing for any upcoming change of course. Practical conclusions linger on the long bank, there seems to be no need for Bitcoin code action at present.
The study shows that currently only a fraction of the financial sector invests, and that the business is even more rarely focused on technology. Only just under two percent of the banks, insurers and asset managers surveyed stated that they invest budgets of over 100,000 euros in the research and development of DLTs. More than half of them do not invest a cent.
A similar picture is confirmed by a look at the corporate strategy. For almost two thirds of the respondents, the establishment of blockchain solutions is not part of the company's orientation. Only three percent of the companies state that they are already integrating blockchain solutions into their daily business or planning to do so promptly.
Crypto currencies also experience restraint. 67 percent of the financial service providers surveyed stated that they would "by no means" want to get involved in the field of digital payment alternatives over the next two years. A total of 83 percent even estimate that neither crypto currencies nor ICOs will have a significant impact on their business areas in the next two years. In the past year, these had repeatedly been taken into consideration for their business portfolios, especially by major global banks.
Restraint – Will German companies be left behind?
Thus, this week's results once again confirm a trend of restraint on the part of German companies. As early as February, a survey conducted by the industry association Bitkom showed that only a fraction of companies were advancing in the adaptation of the technology. Almost half of them had described themselves as laggards in this field.
However, while more and more banks and financial institutions around the world are keeping their eyes firmly on the blockchain and its potential for future market upheaval and pumping large sums into its development, a groundbreaking question arises. Will German companies be left behind by international competition?
Dr. Thomas Schönfeld, head of PwC's department for blockchain research, is sure of this. Although an initial wait-and-see attitude is understandable, the blockchain will "change the financial industry".

The Dead & Company concerts that were postponed due to John Mayer's emergency appendectomy have been rescheduled for February 24th in New Orleans, February 26th in Ft. Lauderdale, and February 27th in Orlando. Tickets for the original shows will be honored at these newly announced 2018 dates. Should ticketholders choose to seek a refund, they will be available at point of purchase.
The celebrated group features original Grateful Dead members Mickey Hart, Bill Kreutzmann and Bob Weir alongside singer/guitarist John Mayer, Allman Brothers' bassist Oteil Burbridge and Fare Thee Well and RatDog keyboardist Jeff Chimenti. Continuing in the tradition of the Grateful Dead, the group draws from the Dead's vast catalog of songs and is taking the iconic music catalogue to new heights.
The inaugural Dead & Company tour, in the fall of 2015, kicked off with two sold-out shows at the legendary Madison Square Garden, which Billboard dubbed as "magical," followed by three highly successful U.S. tours. Dead & Company is "potent enough to enrapture the faithful and convert the skeptical" (Boston Globe).
Special Offer from the Hyatt Regency New Orleans
Dead & Company guests can take advantage of exclusive beverage offer at the Hyatt's Vitascope Hall including 15% off regular priced drinks. Ask your bartender about Barcadi drink specials for the month of February!

Slovakia: Industrial output reaches a near two-year high in July
September 10, 2012
In July, industrial output expanded 18.5% over the same month last year, which was well above the robust 13.0% rise observed in June (previously reported: +11.3% year-on-year) and represented, in fact, the strongest expansion seen since December 2010. According to the Statistical Office of the Slovak Republic (SOSR), the monthly expansion continued to be entirely driven by resilient manufacturing output, while the mining and quarrying sector as well as the electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning category remained in the red. Meanwhile, the manufacture of transport equipment, which is significant due to the automotive industry's high penetration in the Slovak economy, surged 83.9% in July (June: +53.2% yoy). On a monthly basis, industrial production expanded 1.5% in seasonally adjusted terms, which contrasted the 1.0% contraction recorded in June. As a result of the stronger annual expansion in July, the trend continues to point upwards, with annual average growth in industrial production rising from 7.6% in June to 8.9%.

A baseball bat is divided into several regions. The "barrel" is the thick part of the bat, where it is meant to hit the ball. The part of the barrel best for hitting the ball, according to construction and swinging style, is often called the "sweet spot". The end of the barrel is called the "top", "end" or "cap" of the bat. Opposite the cap, the barrel narrows until it meets the "handle". The handle is comparatively thin, so that batters can comfortably grip the bat in their hands. Sometimes, especially on metal bats, the handle is wrapped with a rubber or tape "grip". Finally, below the handle is the "knob" of the bat, a wider piece that keeps the bat from slipping from a batter's hands.
The fungo is used by a coach to hit balls for defense practice. It is lighter weight, so less fatiguing to hit ball after ball. The fungo sheds its weight above the hands. The severely tapered barrel to drops weight and maintains a high moment of inertia. While the bat would be at greater risk of breaking if used in a live batting exercise, it is safe to use in practice because there are much fewer mis-hits.
Before we get started, we have to define the word "fungo" or "fungoes." To summarize, fungo (fungoes for plural) is a ball tossed into the air by the batter and struck as it comes down during practice sessions. If you are a coach, you are more than likely familiar with a fungo bat. Or, if you are a player who has ever worked on ground balls or pop-flys in practice, you should know what a fungo bat is, as well. For the rest of us, a fungo bat might as well be a foreign object. What is that oddly shaped, extra long practice bat? So, let's answer the most common fungo bat questions:
Do this for about three minutes, then collect the balls and work on 5-3, 6-4, and 4-6 plays for another three minutes. This is followed by hitting balls to the 5-6 hole. If the third baseman doesn't get it, he retreats back to third, and the shortstop flips to third for a force-out, rather than throwing across or turn a long double play. The other fungo batter hits balls to the second baseman, who works on throwing to first.
There are limitations to how much and where a baseball player may apply pine tar to a baseball bat. According to Rule 1.10(c) of the Major League Baseball Rulebook, it is not allowed more than 18 inches up from the bottom handle. An infamous example of the rule in execution is the Pine Tar Incident on July 24, 1983. Rules 1.10 and 6.06 were later changed to reflect the intent of Major League Baseball, as exemplified by the league president's ruling. Rule 1.10 now only requires that the bat be removed from the game if discovered after being used in a game; it no longer necessitates any change to the results of any play which may have taken place. Rule 6.06 refers only to bats that are "altered or tampered with in such a way to improve the distance factor or cause an unusual reaction on the baseball. This includes, bats that are filled, flat-surfaced, nailed, hollowed, grooved or covered with a substance such as paraffin, wax, etc." It no longer makes any mention of an "illegally batted ball". In 2001, MLB approved the use of Gorilla Gold Grip Enhancer in major and minor league games as an alternative to pine tar.[23][24]
Baseball bats are made of either wood, or a metal alloy (typically aluminum). Most wooden bats are made from ash. Other woods include maple, hickory, and bamboo. Hickory has fallen into disfavor over its greater weight, which slows down bat speed, while maple bats gained popularity[5] following the introduction of the first major league sanctioned model in 1997. The first player to use one was Joe Carter of the Toronto Blue Jays.[6] Barry Bonds used maple bats the seasons he broke baseball's single-season home run record in 2001, and the career home run record in 2007.[6] In 2010, the increased tendency of maple bats to shatter has caused Major League Baseball to examine their use, banning some models in minor league play.[7][8]
The main goal of the game is to hit it to the pin in the least amount of strokes, similar to golf. Holes can consist of a certain sign in the outfield, in the tarp tunnel, off of the foul pole, onto the pitchers mound or off of a yardage marker on the outfield wall; it can really be anything on the field that can be hit without breaking. There can even be 2 part holes such as: First you have to hit the ball off of the scoreboard, then you have to hit the ball off of the right field foul pole.

By Editor, 12 December - 1: Thursday, 12 December We received a Christmas photo from the Llewellyn-Bowen family this week, Clothign, his wife and two daughters dressed up in a s dating style. It made me think of our feature on postcards in our Christmas issue written by photo dating expert Jayne Shrimpton old included a Christmas postcard from her collection.

This card, sent from the Sudan indatings a photograph of a soldier inserted into ac motor hookup festive mount. We associate postcards vating with holiday scenes, but in the first half of the 20th century they were pyotos commonly used as mounts for personal photographs.
We find some of the most common queries from readers are to do with photo dating. Boxes of old photographs can sometimes come down the family with no indication of who the photos are. With a photo, you can narrow the clothing of possible suspects and even, sometimes put a name to a face as it stares back at you from the past:. Understanding the clothing dxting cartes de visite CDV and cabinet cards dating also help old narrow down a timeframe.
There are plenty of websites that can old you. Just as with format, sizes for prints changed over time.
Again, look online to find guides on sizes of photographic prints. Many CDVs include the clothing of the photography studio. Although usually long gone, you may be able to find them listed in directories. There are also websites that collect details of photographers.
For the 19th century, sleeves can be quite a good starting point. Again, look online for different sleeve shapes through the ages and try to clothing ones that match those in the photograph.
For the 20th century, dress length can be quite revealing. Always judge by the younger women in the photograph if possible. Older women are much more likely to be conservative and still be wearing a favourite dress from ten photos ago!
This can be difficult as there were whole decades of the 19th century when women had a centre parting but when a new fashion comes in with hairstyle it is quicker for photo to update than photo. Instead of glass, the image was on an iron plate. Early tintypes old in small, hinged cases like the daguerreotypes and the ambrotypes. However, the cases were soon replaced by paper sleeves. Old des Visites CDV were introduced in The carte de visite gained popularity quickly during the Civil War as soldiers and family exchanged photographs.
Cabinet cards and carte des visites CDV are often confused. Like the CDV, the cabinet card was also an albumen print on thin paper and mounted on thicker paper. The primary difference is the clothing. The cabinet card reached its peak popularity in the s but was used into the early s. Have you ever remembered when a photograph was taken of you based on your clothing or on the clothes you wore?
Narrowing the date range a photograph was taken will narrow down the potential candidates the photo can be. The free places to hook up below the cabinet old from above datings to the early s.
This photograph of Mary Elizabeth Old below was taken in the early — mids. I dont like dating games the center part with the bangs. Her hair old pulled into a bun in the photo.

Her full skirt and the fuller sleeves were common in the fashions of Civil War women. Where do you find old of hairstyles and fashions from different time periods? What type of photograph is it? Research the hair and clothing fashions you find.

So you favor to attempt your hand at DIY nail artwork but the place do you start? The first element you want to do is get your arms on some primary nail artwork tools. This is a list of my 5 fundamental DIY nail artwork tools.
1) Nail polish
The necessities are: a base coat (to stop nail discolouration and permit your nail polish to waft on smoothly), nail polish, and a pinnacle coat (to make sure your nail cutting lasts for greater than a day). I like to use a speedy drying pinnacle coat cos that saves oodles of time and is so handy to use, but it is also desirable to have a normal top coat or clear polish in hand for certain more complex nail designs.
After trying hundreds of one-of-a-kind brands, I've discovered that it is so vital to invest in top excellent nail polish. These are extra high priced however they're really worth it cos they closing longer, dry quicker and do not get lumpy. I've had such awful experiences with less expensive nail polish that now I'm simply sticking to brands that I've used earlier than (and like) and respectable brands. Orly, OPI, China Glaze, Sally Hansen and Essie are some of the proper ones. It's also a suitable notion to check out polish from a brand you've got now not tried earlier than buying it.
2) Nail dotters
Nail dotters assist create dot and circle patterns. I use these all the time to create simple polka dot designs. They come in a variety of sizes. Starting out, it will be properly to get your palms on one that has a medium sized round nib on one cease and a small one on the other so you can select the dimension of the dots you desire to create.
HOW TO USE: Find a plastic sheet and drop a few blobs of nail polish onto it. I like to use identify cards that are hard and sense a bit plasticky for this cos they're small and disposable. Dip the spherical nib of your dotter into the polish. Try doing a few dots on the sheet/name card till you get the right size and consistency that you want. Do the equal onto the surface of your nail. Be cautious no longer to use too plenty pressure, that may additionally reason the dots to appear deformed. Remember to easy them after use and dry thoroughly. These tools are made of metal and prone to rusting.
MAKE YOUR OWN: It's additionally easy to create your very own nail dotter using stuff you have lying around your home. Bobby pins are a lower priced and convenient alternative. Just bend them out straight, and use the spherical recommendations at the quit like ordinary dotters. Because all you want is a spherical end, you can use whatever that resembles a dotter, like the again of an eyeliner pencil cap, for example.
3) Nail stripers
These, to me, are an absolute essential. They are nail polishes that come with a long, thin brush alternatively than the normal flat and wide ones. I use them for painting lines and adding random flicks of colour. They are so easy to use and very versatile. I advise getting two colours, white and black, when you first start. Brands like LA Colors have a broad vary of hues and come incredibly cheap, so have exciting with it!
If you don't favor to have to purchase a new polish each time you prefer to try any other colour, you may want to on the other hand get a nail striper brush. However, now not all brushes are true for nail polish. I've tried nail polish on a few and they completely ruined the hairs on the brush. Use water-based nail paint if you must. This makes it a whole lot simpler to clean the brushes. If you have used nail polish, use acetone, some cleaning soap water and a paper towel to clean your brush.
4) Stationery tape
Ever puzzled how DIY nail artists create first-rate neat and straight strains and stripes? Using tape you can create many extraordinary geometric and striped designs.
Stationery tape is one of the excellent equipment EVER for nail art. Any kind of normal scotch tape is fine, however you can experiment and see which supply you the quality results. They're magnificent for developing neat strains and geometric shapes. Just cut the tape into the preferred strip/shape, paste it onto your nail and paint over. Easy as that!
two two two Always make sure that your base nail polish is thoroughly dry though. Use a quick-drying pinnacle coat like Seche Vite if you don't prefer to wait.
two two two Cut the tape before you start painting your nails so you avoid smudging when you strive to cut it with wet nails.
two Paste the tape someplace where it'll be easily detachable so that you do not get them stuck when you want to paste them on your nails.
two two two Use tweezers to get rid of the tape to prevent by accident messing up your nails.
two two If you mess up, you don't have to begin from scratch again. Use a nail art brush and contact up where necessary. This generally does the trick.
5) Nail art brushes
If you're certainly serious about doing nail art, you may want to think about investing in a desirable set of nail artwork brushes. The foremost kinds of brushes for nail art are fan-shaped brushes, flat brushes, flat angled brushes, skinny brushes (for detail) and long stripers. These brushes can be purchased comfortably (and alternatively affordably) in a set. The Bundle Monster New Pro 20pc Nail Art Design Brushes from Amazon is a fantastically precise bargain and comes with a dotter.

Settling In
Some moments in the new house feel like camping or waking up the morning after an airline loses your suitcase – not sure where things are, not sure why I forgot to pack a few table knives.
But moving day went so well, three strong guys and one equally strong young woman swiftly loaded all the labeled boxes, furniture, outdoor chairs, and pots with plants into a truck and a huge trailer. By noon we were on Bainbridge, and by early afternoon our belongings stood stacked about the new house.
The mother of my young friend came right over and set to work unpacking boxes and shelving books in the living room, and our younger son arrived from the airport to help. (I am so grateful for every bit of help we had!) Our old friends who live on Bainbridge – a quick seven-minute drive to their house – welcomed us that evening with a festive meal.
The weather couldn't have been better – moving day dawned clear and the sun has been constant since then – five days and holding. Because of the house's orientation, early sunshine pours in our bedroom and upstairs, fills the living room and kitchen all day, and late in the evening disappears into tall trees.
When I started on my walk early this morning – the air cool, sky clear – buses and bikers passed me heading to the ferry, city bustle in a small town. The walk is a gradual downhill through town toward a newly opened piece of protected land, tranquil with trees, grass, and benches. I pass houses and gardens along the way, get glimpses of Eagle Harbor and early morning scullers, spot herons working on fragile-looking nests in a tall stand of trees, and circle back uphill to home.
In spite of surrounding houses, each of our windows reveals huge firs and deciduous trees just-beginning-to-leaf. A Japanese maple with golden-green leaves shelters our neighbors' porch. Birdsong begins early, loud and lovely all day.
From my work space I look out at the remains of old garden plantings, and what our younger son called "some serious rhododendron business about to begin." A wizened, but budding crabapple, a climbing hydrangea, lilac and daphne shrubs (small and scraggly, but still fragrant), and lily of the valley emerging from moss grow in the few feet between a narrow deck and fence. Invasive ivy, Scotch broom, and blackberries hang over the fence from the vacant (for now) lot next door.
Our younger son left Vivian Russell's "Gardens of Inspiration" on the table where he ate breakfast. It's really fun to encounter books anew, and no matter the small scale of this garden, maybe because of the small scale – I'm inspired!
Red House Bainbridge
In the middle of remodeling the Bainbridge house last December, our builder wrote from a holiday trip to Hawaii. He hadn't been working on our house at all, but said his daughter had, and he attached a photo of the painting she made with a new watercolor set.
I love the painting in many ways, the perspective, the texture of roof and indication of clapboards, the dark door (still being negotiated at that point, but to become "Deep Mulberry"), and the leafy tree, blue sky setting. The young artist gave me permission to use her picture here, and I'm happy to post it – it seems to capture the spirit of the place.
More from there!
Crunch Time
Down to the wire now – nearly ready for the movers. Our comfy home grows bare and hollow with rugs rolled up, shelves still dotted with photos and undealt with objects, but emptied of books and most dishes.
Boxes scavenged from recycling bins teeter in stacks everywhere –– Paul Newman's stenciled face above one-liner labels about food for people and pets, small beer cases, and many, many Amazon swooshes. There are also filled-to-the-brim big bins ( iPhone auto-corrected into "bug buns" for a moment of levity).
We took a break a weekend ago to see "Leaning Into The Wind" – a new movie about the Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy who makes art with the natural world in the most endearing, non-destructive or intrusive ways. When I try to figure out what I love so much about him, his sense of wonder and his "stick to" stand out, along with the way he, by drawing attention to the details, expresses the emotion we feel for the planet's beauty.
The film shows him interacting physically with his environment in ways we've not seen before – creating a striking line of rain-soaked leaves up a set of steps next to an Edinburgh street, climbing five or six feet up through a brambly hedge, and leaning into a violent body-stopping wind high on a heath.
After the movie my husband allowed as how it was time to traverse the seemingly impenetrable Northwest thicket of firs and native shrubs enclosed by our driveway circle – "there it is right out our door and never been crossed!" And I kept thinking how Goldsworthy would make something of this current house habitat – he'd pile his boxes artfully, stick the chunks of blue tape (indicating a possession to go) with more rhythm and consciousness.
But, like much of Goldsworthy's work, that construct would be ephemeral – for as a friend wrote recently: "I hope the worst of packing is over and you can just get ready to unpack!"
Oh boy!
Deconstructing My Workroom
In my small workroom two mismatched and battered metal file cabinets form the base to a desk. They want painting because in the new house, my even smaller work space will be right off the kitchen and much more in view.
So for several days (encouraged by the inviting blue plastic banker's boxes provided by my new neighbor), I emptied the file cabinets. Paper, each piece once deemed important enough to archive, seems manageable and orderly when contained, but multiplies into a mess when liberated.
Some disposal decisions are clear. I don't need years of sales reports from the gallery on Bainbridge (but they are nice to encounter), don't need every greeting card ever received (but keep anyway). It's hard not to keep a handful of airletters from my landlady in England with stories of my time there, or copies of emails from our sons, written from Antarctica or South America, or a marketplace in Nepal. Rereading slows things down. But the recycle pile grows.
So much paper, torn out magazine articles about houses or writing or artists, a file of little notebooks, worn and bent, once carried in a purse – it's tempting to dip in to see what times they record – small originals of paintings, old show invites, newspaper tear sheets of garden articles, rejection letters dashing hopes, and happy words of acceptances.
A stamped envelope, addressed to my painter friend, makes me think I should stop and send her something. I discover an idea for a Christmas present, and walk in a little circle in my room, wondering where to safely put it.
One drawer contains the files from when we built this house, they should remain, but I debate the fate of the wrinkled-with-raindrops original drawings of the garden layout. Then I wander to a window to see hellebore, snowdrops, daffodils, and a ribes pink with blossom – that garden drawing come to life.
Approaching the rest of the room I realize that, over the years, things belonging together (office, framing, and sewing supplies, paintbrushes, tape, scissors, ink, rulers, colored pencils) have dispersed and migrated around this small space. Gathering them together with their kin is my goal as I assign these tools of the trade to their transport boxes. I put off tackling framed things squirreled away here and there.
And I'm derailed from this task in the same way I get distracted from real work – phone calls, appointments, things needing immediate (or so it seems) attention. I'm happiest the days I make a list full of small requests that, with focus, become accomplishments by the end of the day.
Isn't that always the way, moving or not!
"Dostadning" – The Doing
We're moving!
Sort of. What was an idea for a couple of years – a dream or dread depending on attitude toward change – is suddenly a reality. In mid-April, a moving van will come and take many of our belongings to a little house in Winslow on Bainbridge Island.
"Sort of" because we don't have to clear out everything by then. To start, we'll take what's needed to make the Bainbridge house comfortable, leaving bare bones here till the end of the summer. This house is small, but that one is smaller. And the accumulations of 12 years here, on top of what we brought from Alaska, won't all fit.
From Margareta Magnusson's "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning," I know that's a good thing. Last fall I wrote about Magnusson's book before it came out, and now have read it twice. Enlivened by Magnusson's little ink drawings, it's a charming, humorous, practical, slim tome by a wise woman aged "between 80 and 100 years." As she considers disposal of all the possessions cluttering our houses – and making them home – she admits, "my vice is really things."
Magnusson says the idea of spending time with objects one last time and then disposing of them isn't sad to her. But when it is, she remembers: "I really do not want to give my beloved children and their families too much trouble with my stuff after I am gone. That is why I want to tell others about death cleaning, and how wonderful it can be." Dostadning describes "a permanent form of organization that makes your everyday life run more smoothly." Who doesn't need that?
So after these years in the woods on the bluff we move to a town – within walking distance to restaurants, movie theatre, bakery, grocery, library, clinics – and will have close neighbors. My brain is full of plans of all sorts, lists, decisions, the complexities of privilege and possessions.
I debated long about how to keep "Her spirits rose…" going in the midst of it. Because I am both excited about the move and daunted, I think I need to keep doing what I do – write about it, draw about it.
Thank you to you faithful readers, I appreciate you! More to follow…
"Dostadning" – Death Cleaning
A friend recently hired a professional to help organize her house, not because she was downsizing, but because, as the expert suggested, she needed to "right size." My friend liked this guidance through finding order in her home, discarding and shredding some things, repositioning others.
So there's a word for such activity in Sweden – the country of hygge brings us dostadning, a word which combines death and cleaning – not scrubbing the bathtub, but a gradual, before death clearing out of possessions. According to the buzz of articles surrounding artist Margarita Magnasson's book, "The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How To Free Yourself From a Lifetime of Clutter," dostadning is a common practice in Sweden.
The book won't be released until January 2 but this Washington Post article gives the flavor (don't miss the video of Magnasson encountering her daughter's storage unit). Magnasson says this is an ongoing endeavor, suggests 65 as an appropriate age to begin, but admits it's never finished.
Billed as not so rigid as the KonMari approach (you know what she'd do, making quick work of everything with black plastic trash bags), I'm curious about Magnasson's method of dealing with copious, accumulated "stuff" in a house.
Because Magnasson is an artist I wonder if she addresses the particular muddle created by art-making, the tools and supplies, but also sketchbooks, drawings, unloved paintings that might live under some of our staircases (not naming any names or making any admissions).
Few words are less enthusiastically embraced than death and cleaning, so I do admit that reading this book – even writing about it before publication (!) – might be just another way to avoid actually doing the dostadning!

Paul Dickov admitted yesterday's 5-2 win over Scunthorpe United was tinged with frustration – and left the Doncaster Rovers dressing room thinking what might have been.
Rovers' seventh straight win against the Iron, which included a hat trick for top scorer Nathan Tyson, saw them end up 13th in the final League One standings.
Dickov said: "It was a pleasing way to end, but also a little bit frustrating as well.
"The game possibly summed up our season.
"There was some really good football at times and we scored some good goals. But there were also some lapses in concentration when we conceded the goals and we switched off for 20 minutes after half time.
"But I'm really pleased with the win and to score five goals in front of our fans.
"We all know our home form hasn't been good enough so it was a good way to end the season."
Doncaster bossed the first half and a Niall Canavan own goal broke the deadlock, before Tyson headed in a second and skipper Rob Jones found the net against his former club to put Rovers firmly in control at the break.
The Iron threatened a second half comeback after reducing the deficit via an Andy Butler own goal but two Tyson penalties put the result beyond doubt, before a late consolation from Hakeen Adelakun.
The victory was only Rovers' seventh home win in the league this season and understandably left Dickov frustrated that his side had not produced more performances of this ilk at the Keepmoat.
"Yes [it makes me think why couldn't we do that more often?], I'm not going to lie to you," he said.
"But I've got to give them credit because to come out and score five goals against anybody is a good achievement.
"I was pleased with some of the football we played but also the professionalism of the players, because it's easy when the sun comes out in the last game of the season to go through the motions."
Dickov also hailed hat trick hero Tyson, who finished on 14 for the season.
"If anybody deserved that, it's Nathan," said Dickov.
"He's worked his socks off constantly and got the goals he deserved. He thoroughly deserved his hat-trick."

The fast developing U.S. marijuana industry provides unique opportunities for entrepreneurs launching cannabis startups and investors seeking to cash in. My experience building software for legal marijuana businesses provided some insight into what makes this burgeoning industry different.
Oftentimes, people compare cannabis to the development of the modern alcoholic beverage industry that occurred as a result of the end of Prohibition in the 1930s. Dan Weil and David Lenok wrote that Prohibition's conclusion, "led to a $200 billion business in the U.S….The fact that pot could be on a similar trajectory makes investors take notice and look for ways to get in early."
While the outcome might seem clear, those looking to launch, or invest in, cannabis startups face a range of unique set of challenges.
Cannabis Startups Have Limited Access to Banking
Cannabis is still largely a cash business.
Cannabis is classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance, making it illegal to grow, possess, sell, distribute, or consume under federal law. That prevents FDIC-insured banks and other large financial institutions, including large pension funds and insurance companies, from providing investment capital or even a payments infrastructure behind the budding industry.
In other words, cannabis startups often find it very difficult to maintain a checkings account, to obtain merchant processing, and to receive loans of any type.
But.. cash is king, right?
It can be but something as mundane as paying taxes highlights the challenge faced by cannabis startups.
Last year the IRS collected $4.7 billion in taxes from legal cannabis businesses on nearly $13 billion in revenue. In order to make a cash payment to the IRS, the cannabis startup has to set up an appointment with their local IRS office. They then go to the office with bags of cash with the hope that they don't get robbed. The cannabis startup waits at the office while the IRS counts the whole payment. Two IRS employees must be present in the counting room at all times. (Civilized)
The time and hassle mixed with serious security issue of handling so much creates a lot of logistical headaches.
It's also much more expensive for cannabis startups to maintain an account at one of the very few banks and credit unions in the country that take marijuana businesses as customers than it is for everyone else.
"If you open a checking account in this industry, it's going to cost you $3,000-$5,000 a month," says Jim Marty in a recent article published by Quartz. "And all you get is a checking account; no lines of credit, no merchant services, no mortgages. It's really not full banking services, so some people choose to stay on a cash basis."
Few Options to Raise Capital
Another nuance of the industry is the small pool of investors cannabis startups can tap. This is something to consider when a company or project requires multiple rounds of financing in order to become profitable.
High-net-worth individuals have become a go-to source of investment dollars. Generally, the size of investment is too small for institutional investors. A larger concern is that investors are required to have a willingness to operate in a moral and legal gray area.
Fortunately, there are cannabis-focused venture capital and private equity funds. In comparison to other industries, VC- and PE- funds are difficult to come by. They are limited in number and are small in size.
Getting to an exit to obtain liquidity can be pretty complex. Major U.S. stock exchanges will not list cannabis companies. Filing over-the-counter is the most direct way of selling shares to the public.
But, wait, what about all the potstocks that's been all the buzz?
Reverse mergers have been a backdoor for cannabis companies to pursue financing. Reverse mergers are when a private company buys a shell company that's already publicly-traded. It's a strategy that several of the largest U.S. cannabis startups have done to go public quickly. These mergers, oftentimes referred to as reverse takeovers, have been occuring on the cannabis-friendly Canadian Stock Exchange (CSE).
Going public on the CSE, despite its complexity, means these companies can roll up competitors using their stock as the cannabis industry enters a wave of consolidation.
Federal Tax Rates Can Be as High as 70%
Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code prohibits businesses engaged in the trafficking of Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substances in contravention of state or federal law from deducting normal business expenses, such as payroll and rent, from gross income.
So a cannabis startup that isn't using creative accounting can pay effective tax rates as high as 70% compared to the current 21% tax rate for corporations. The National Cannabis Industry Association published an informative video describing the effects of Section 280E.
The good news is that creative accounting exists and it falls into what's commonly called a two-business strategy. The two-business strategy has been upheld in federal court with the most notable case being CHAMP v. Commissioner:
In CHAMP, two cannabis-related businesses operated in close coordination — one with the federally illegal activities and one with the legal activities. In some cases, the IRS has even upheld arrangements where employees worked for minimum wage for the company that was barred from deducting wages under Section 280E but also received a higher wage from the company able to deduct wages.
In Canna Care v. Commissioner, the Tax Court made three key findings, upholding previous cases as well as the application of Section 280E to cannabis companies:
- Cannabis is still a controlled substance under federal law.
- Despite California laws, federal law still holds that cannabis companies are still engaging in trafficking for the purposes of Section 280E.
- A taxpayer engaged in the trade or business of selling cannabis falls under Section 280E and cannot claim business deductions other than the cost of goods sold.
In establishing these facts and confirming that the taxpayer failed to properly follow the two-business strategy, the cannabis startup was not entitled to the deductions. But had they followed the two-business strategy, the court stated the business holding the legal activities would have been entitled to its full deductions.
Compliance Culture is Critical for Success
When states legalize marijuana, it's never a free-for-all and it doesn't mean that any cannabis startup can start growing and open up shop.
Public safety is at the forefront of policy. Just as they've done with alcohol and other regulated products, the government passes laws, sets up new regulatory systems, and enacts policies to guide and monitor the new industry. The consequences of non-compliance can range from fines to imprisonment. This ensures that the newly-legalized industry is safe and accountable.
The biggest compliance challenges for cannabis startups pertain primarily to the need of satisfying new state and municipal compliance laws. Across the country, the common hurdles that have emerged include seed-to-sale tracking and advertising.
Regulators need to monitor marijuana products through every step in the supply chain. Whether it is sold to consumers in its flower form, as an oil, in an edible product, or any of the other ways that cannabis can be consumed, each product must have a clear and traceable trail indicating where it was planted, harvested, processed, and ultimately sold. All of this requires almost real-time updates and syncing large sets of data and documentation — making it quite onerous for any cannabis startup to meet regulatory standards.
Advertising and marketing is also a problem. Most social media sites, online ad networks, broadcasters, and print publications enforce partial or outright bans on cannabis content. Neither Google nor Facebook, the two most important ad companies of our generation, accept marijuana advertising and both have been known to delete accounts of cannabis startups that violate its policies.
This means cannabis startups are focusing their advertising locally—primarily turning to magazines, newspapers, podcasts and billboards to promote their businesses. The cost per impressions are typically higher in these avenues. Marketing campaigns and their effectiveness can be difficult to track.
The state of California and some city governments have moved to further limit the cannabis industry's marketing opportunities. A new law in L.A., for instance, requires cannabis ads to be at least 700 feet away from schools, day care centers, public parks or public libraries. Meeting these types of nuanced requirements forces cannabis startups to be very detailed in their diligence and impeccable in their marketing.
Unique Challenges Make For Unique Investment Opportunities
While the nascent U.S. cannabis industry looks promising, launching and investing in cannabis startups is not without its unique set of challenges. Legalization has brought with it a variety of complications and risks that many in the industry––have found burdensome or, in some cases, insurmountable.
Ironically, the federal illegality of marijuana actually benefits current and prospective marijuana startups. The current regulatory environment discourages big business from entering the industry — including pharmaceutical companies, retail chains, and beverage companies to name a few.
This may be why it's the best time for investors to get in too.
Jon Trauben, a partner at the New York City-based Altitude Investment Management, which manages $25 million, said in a recent interview that the firm is taking advantage of that short "window of opportunity" to invest in marijuana before prohibition recedes and the big institutional players jump into the sector.
