HIGH COURT: Ann Juliette Roberts tells High Court that stop and search is 'disproportionately' used against black people
POLICE STOP and search powers are 'disproportionately' used against black people in London, the High Court was told yesterday.
Ann Juliette Roberts, 38, who launched a landmark legal challenge after she was stopped and searched in September last year, is claiming that the policy is 'incompatible' with human rights laws.
Hugh Southey QC, appearing for Mrs Roberts, told two judges: "This power is used in a disproportionate way against black people, and black people in London in particular. We say there are no adequate explanations for that."
Mrs Roberts claims she was forced off a bus by an inspector who said she had come across a number of middle-aged women carrying knives and wanted to ensure that she wasn't one of them.
She says she was later asked her to get off the bus and show her identity documents.
The inspector then called for police assistance.
Lawyers for the Met reportedly argued that Mrs Rogers was caught by a TfL ticket inspector and had falsely stated that she had no identification documents with her.
The case continues.

Switzerland Ski Resort Slated to Open December 2017
Orlando, Fla. / Davos, Switzerland – August 14, 2017 – With presence in more than 70 countries across the globe, Hard Rock International is expanding its hotel portfolio to the Swiss Alps, announcing plans to open Hard Rock Hotel Davos. Working in collaboration with International Hospitality Service AG ("IHS"), the owner of Spenglers Hotel and Holsboer Residences in Davos, Hard Rock will electrify the region in December 2017. VIYM, a private equity firm with extensive expertise in the hospitality industry, consulted IHS on the deal.
Transforming the 130-year-old building, which houses the recently renovated Spenglers Hotel Davos with a new spa and soft design touches, Hard Rock Hotel Davos will give tribute to the building's rich history of honoring Dr. Alexander Spengler and Willem Jan Holsboer – both pioneers in their respective fields. As Davos became famous for the medical benefits its high altitude climate provided, Dr. Spengler was the first person to open a people's sanatorium, while Holsboer developed the plans for the railway line to Davos. Recently renovated last year, the historic luxury boutique hotel will further continue its modern conversion by evolving into a music-inspired city escape with priceless memorabilia adorning the walls of the property, curated by a team of design experts to fit the local music scene while reflecting the region's art, style and culture.
"As Hard Rock continues to grow globally, the brand targets expansion in influential cities and resort destinations around the world, especially in Europe," states Dale Hipsh, senior vice president of hotels for Hard Rock International. "Famed for its pristine climate, cultural offerings and vibrant entertainment scene, Davos is a distinguished destination that draws in tourists from all over. We feel Davos aligns perfectly with the brand and are thrilled to bring the Hard Rock Hotels experience to the region."
Located in the highest city within Europe, which hosts the World Economic Forum, the upcoming Hard Rock Hotel Davos is conveniently situated in the heart of the town, providing easy access to popular attractions. The property is positioned close to the train station, which is easily accessible from Zurich, and also provides guests convenient access to nearby boutiques and dining options. The hotel is also walking distance from ski lifts and museums, as well as the city's convention center, golf course, renowned Vaillant Arena, home to the professional Swiss ice hockey club, Hockey Club Davos, and where the Spengler Cup is played every year.
"We are very pleased to welcome the Hard Rock Hotel team in Davos," says Alessandro Lardi, president of the Board of Directors of international Hospitality Service AG. "We launched our hotel and residence complex in 2016 and since then have been looking for a strong renowned brand for our properties. The high caliber of the Hard Rock International brand ensures that both Spenglers Hotel and Holsboer Residences – soon to run under the Hard Rock brand – will benefit from the professional expertise and unique music solutions that Hard Rock International offers, combined with style and the region's culture."
Additionally, Andrey Yakunin, co-founder of VIYM, financial and hospitality consult on the deal, adds, "As a hospitality investor with a long-standing track record, I believe Davos provides unique opportunities for both hoteliers and tourists, as it has a lot to offer to its business and leisure guests in any given season. Therefore, on behalf of our investors in this hospitality asset, I trust this franchise will allow both IHS and Hard Rock International to build a successful and profitable resort, attractive to new guests, including those already loyal to the Hard Rock brand."
Catering to both business and leisure travelers, Hard Rock Hotel Davos will feature 111 lavishly redesigned rooms, including 31 serviced one to three bedroom apartments. In addition to three conference rooms for dynamic meeting space, an on-site, historic chapel will also be available for booking, containing a modern sound system, natural acoustics, fully functioning organ and adaptable lighting, ideal for banquets, weddings, private concerts and events. For those looking to hit the slopes, the hotel will also offer guests a ski room where they can store equipment and gear.
Delectable food and beverage options will be available on-site, such as an existing three-meal restaurant, a local hot spot complete with a picturesque terrace located on the first floor. The restaurant will also provide a high-end lobby bar and sophisticated private bar, perfect for private dining and tastings. The hotel will also offer an exclusive rooftop bar, providing the only spot for breathtaking 360-degree views of the mountains and city.
In true Hard Rock style, the hotel will entice guests with an array of signature brand offerings and amenities, including The Sound of Your Stay® music amenity program, allowing guests to set the mood with complimentary vinyl players and records or rock out on a Fender guitar during an in-room jam session, complete with an amp and head phones. Additionally, the property will boast a wellness center, including a Body Rock® workout facility and a Rock Spa®, complete with the music-infused Rhythm & Motion spa menu, five treatment rooms and a yoga studio.

In 1988, the brothers Tol ended their collaboration in BZN and started a career as a duo. Their most successful singles title was in 1990, Eleni, not only in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, but also in many other countries like the United States conquered the charts.
As a cooperation partner for this item was living in the Netherlands Greek singer Corina Vamvakari , granddaughter of Markos Vamvakaris and niece of Tol & Tol, which in numerous other titles (such as You Are My World or Take Me Home), as well as in live performance as frontwoman collaborated with the supporting voice. The first German version of Eleni published Helena Lind in 1990, where she wrote the text itself and together with Pete Rico produced.

His title verdwijnt When de night ("As the night faded") became a big hit.

Ethical investing now mainstream, study shows/
Recent research conducted by Australian Ethical shows that six million working Australians are highly ethically active, which will result in more products launched that have a closer relationship with ESG.
The researchers offer ideas about ethical investment trends, including that the current growth in ethical investing is because the 'new economy' favours funds that shy away from environmentally unsound products (coal, for example), and err towards industries that care more about their impact on people, animals, and the earth.
The researchers discuss the idea that ethical investments provide better returns, which is backed up by other research - Australian Ethical funds have outperformed their less ESG-conscious peers relentlessly over the past decade.
At a Sydney briefing, the managing director and chief executive of Australian Ethical, Phil Vernon, said that investment markets and corporate markets should aim to be zero emissions by 2050.

I'd buy this album for the cover alone. The drama and the colours of the 19th century painting by Swedish painter Marcus Larson is imminent. Amazing stuff.Netherbird have also grown to be quite amazing. The Swedes move in a universe where death and black metal are fused, where melody and the big musical epic come together with craftmanship.
Untied by conventions, Netherbird have no problem sounding like a black metal band one minute, and then paying homage to Paradise Lost the next. The Paradise Lost element comes in the tune Shadow Walkers, which also happens to be my favourite track of 'The Ferocious Tides of Fate'. The same tune is elegantly concluded with folky fiddles, by the way. Excellent stuff.With 'The Ferocious Tides of Fate', Netherbird have managed to create a diverse, yet whole release; it's a solid and mature album which encompasses elements of black, death and goth in balanced measures. If you forgot to buy your metal friends a Christmas present, this could be a tip.

Last Saturday, I visited the Melbourne Quilt show. Melbourne is 15 or 20 miles south of Cape Canaveral. There were hundreds of people at the show. I'm so glad I went. I'll take a couple of days to show you some quilts that were personal favorites of mine. Today I'll show you my favorite mini quits first because my friend at home, Linda H. is working on a mini and she promised to show it on her blog soon.
This first churn dash mini was exquisite. It is about 18" wide by 24" tall. The piecing was perfect, but what I loved most about this was the machine quilting and the binding.
The quilting is whimsical and surprising to see the the swirls and bubbles in the quilting. I am a binding lover and I love how the maker of this quilt did an uneven curved binding. It really made me smile. I sorry I didn't get the name of the maker of this quilt.
This next mini was slightly bigger than the churn dash above. What struck me on this quilt was the colors, the traditional style, and how the Irish chain extends out to the corners. It reminds me of the layout of the Lemoyne star quilt that I'm working on now.
But what is so different for this mini, is the embellishment of the borders. It's has the skinniest vines you ever saw. And they are embellished with 5 spoke silk ribbon roses. It also has beading to add a bit of sparkle. It is just sweet.
This last mini was made by Kathy Gardze. This was made from a Caryl Brayer Fallert pattern in a workshop she took recently. This piece is so small. I'm glad I caught a bit of the label in the photo to show you just how small it is. There was another full size quilt just like this in the show. I will have to check my other camera to see if it was the same maker. I'm guessing it is.
Watch tomorrow for another group of favorites from the Melbourne 2010 quilt show.

Freedom to speak
This week the news has blown up because of a statement that was made by Zaky Mallah on the ABC's show Q&A. Whether you agree or disagree with the statements that were made, one of the great freedoms we have in this country is the freedom to speak. We as followers of Jesus embrace this freedom regularly as we speak of the great news that has come to us through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are many in our society who would like to shut down our opportunity to speak because they disagree with our message. But we were reminded last week from Peter that our freedoms should be exercised for good and with respect.
Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God's slaves. Show proper respect to everyone, love the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor. – 1 Peter 2: 16-17
As we exercise the freedom we have by speaking the great message of the salvation that comes through Jesus, let us make sure that we do so with good motives, showing love and respect to those who disagree.

A Space for Baby
If you're a long time reader of Instagram or Facebook, you will probably know Amelia's nursery like the back of your hand (which may be odd? Pushing past that) Amelia's little space was in need of a change since our little girl decided to grow up, and she needed her own little space that she could crawl around on, do what she pleased with and would grow with her over the coming years.
The Process
Now, you will know me as someone who is frugal, who would rather not spend anything on furniture or decoration but instead use items from around my home to make a space work simply and beautifully. Surprisingly, my initial thought when I was trying to figure out what to do with this small corner was "oh my gosh let's get a TEEPEE!!!!" which I became obsessed with finding (for an hour). I looked everywhere for something that was minimal and had clean lines and finally found one on Target. Before I pressed "Buy" though, I took a step back and asked myself some questions:
- Did I want to see a Teepee every time I walked in to Amelia's room?
- Would she really enjoy it that much?
- Do I want to try and find almost $200.00 in our budget to make this happen?
- Will it even be able to grow with her in that space as time moves on?
- Is this an impulse buy? And if so, when was the last time I felt like this?
The answers:
- I had no desire to see a teepee every time I went in her room.
- My daughter doesn't spend more than a couple of minutes at any given time with a toy or object, why would this be any different?
- Nope. No I don't want to change our budget to suit this purpose.
- I really don't think it will. Again my daughter (if she's anything like me or my Husband) will end up doing exactly as she pleases with that space and I don't feel that a teepee will be part of her master plan. If she comes to us at age 7 and says "mom, dad, I would love a teepee in my room" then absolutely let's pull the trigger, but let's make it HER decision.
- Impulse - The last time I had this kind of impulse was when we first moved into our home and were trying to decide what to do with the basement. "Let's make a massive play room for Amelia!" my Husband and I both cried! Then we took a step back. We don't value toys or all the "stuff" that comes along with them. We want Amelia to have more experiences, use her imagination with less stuff and enjoy all the areas of the house. That feeling was too, an impulse, which we identified and moved past.
After answering all these questions, both in my head and talking aloud to my beautiful Husband, I reached the conclusion that no, I did not want to buy this teepee. I did what I should of done in the first place - I got creative.
Repurposing Decor
I love that everything in our home is interchangeable. Accent pillows and blankets not only work in the living room or bedroom, but also can be repurposed to the incredibly special job of hosting Amelia's first 'hideout'. I borrowed the white fur blanket that had been used in our second guest room, a throw pillow that I was originally using on her nursery rocking chair, and a pillow from our best friend (and her godmother!) and arranged them carefully in this small corner. I added a couple of her favorite books, teddy bear and 'baa-baa' to complete the look I was going for.
The Reveal
When she first spotted it, Amelia dive bombed onto the soft fur blanket and immediately began re-arranging the pillows to suit her taste. She crawled around her area, lifted the blanket, added additional toys from her toy bin and some extra books. Daily when we go into her room that corner is the first place she wants to go to. She makes sure everything is as it should be, and then proceeds to do a wide crawl around the perimeter of her room, eventually ending up back in that space and play.
My Conclusions
As I had known before (but clearly needed a reminder from myself), kids grow up fast. So fast, that instead of purchasing costly toys, playhouses or (in my case) teepees is just not something we value. Instead I love being able to provide little areas around our home that Amelia can explore, play and truly make her own. In the future Amelia can choose what she wants to do with this space. She may choose to make it a reading area or maybe she will want it to be a dress up area? (In which case I have tones of ideas for that, which involves an old towel drying rack, some paint and Goodwill so fingers crossed!)
Yours in play,

The indices have been launched as an alternative to the existing benchmarks which have become outdated in the wealth management sector and have been designed in association with the Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (Step), which will offer them as a new service to its 17,500 members.
They will also be available to all private client portfolio managers who register, allowing them to compare their clients' portfolios with the performance and volatility of these indices. To ensure confidentiality, the individual investment manager reports will only be available to that member investment manager.
What will be available to a wider audience is the performance and volatility of the indices, produced by Enhance using actual private client portfolio data provided from thousands of live private client portfolios across three risk profiles – low, moderate and high.
The indices are then based on time horizon, volatility and drawdown. For example, the low-risk index is deemed suitable for risk-averse and short-term investment objectives, aiming for volatility of <6% with a maximum drawdown of 10%.
This increases to a ten-year+ time horizon, 10%+ volatility and drawdowns in excess of 20% for the high-risk index.
There will also be sterling, euro and dollar versions of the indices.
Gary Corcoran, group editor of Portfolio Adviser, commented: "These indices will not only provide valuable information to those running private client mandates when comparing their relative performance and risk profile, but also in the design of those portfolios in the first place."
Richard Sayers, chief executive of Trustee MPI Ltd, added: "We believe that the service will enable investment managers to demonstrate that their performance and risk is subject to third party scrutiny and verification by specialist analysts in association with a global organisation. This should have benefits for clients and prospects of the investment managers as well as compliance and regulation".

Let me be the first to say............................................... ."What?"
Greetings fellow USICers! Be warned!
When you get your call, Robo Dispatch records your conversation/response and attaches that to the ticket! I have witnessed RUDE and DISGUSTING responses by a couple of my fellow locators to the "Lady" when she came calling; not knowing it would come back to haunt them later......................... just sayin'.
Let me be the first to say............................................... ."What?"
I say "yeah" and immediately mute my phone, just in case
Greetings jayc! It's a USIC thing. The USIC locator daily gets a computer-generated, female voice over the company cell phone notifying the locator of an Emergency, Dig-Up, Bad Locate, No Response or Manual Ticket in his/her area that needs immediate attention. As soon as the locator answers, "Hello!" to the Robo Dispatch's call, the conversation is recorded and filed with the ticket. Every word uttered by the locator is recorded even as the Robo Dispatch voice is giving the details to the short-notice tickets. These little details are never revealed until some expressive, poor bastard is called out after the fact.
Wingfoot is not the one burned on this discovery because he has been a good boy since day one of Robo Dispatch. Others have not been so lucky/mature.
Not a USICer myself and I don't have robo dispatch but I guess I'm immature cuz I cuss out those robo bitches all the time. Especially the ones that answer the phone when you're calling information 411 or even the toll road robo bitch that thanks me and tells me to have a nice day gets cussed at. I don't know why really. I'm kinda like Will Smith in I-Robot in that way. Just don't like robots telling me what to do and since I wouldn't talk to a real person like that, the robot gets it. Until the day that robots can get me cut off at night for cussing them, I probably ain't gonna change.
So the USIC robots are snitches, huh? That figures. What's the point of recording the locator? Do you actually get in trouble for being mean to them? It's not like they get their feelings hurt. Or do they? Hmmmm.... I'm way too old school to be tiptoeing around an insecure, menstrual robots feelings. That much I know. The times they are a changing folks. Remind me to delete my app from the USIC data base. Their robots are way too emotionally vulnerable. Oh yeah, I never submitted one.
So here's the next obvious question - why not just not answer the phone? There's a laundry list of excuses...I was locating, I was talking to a homeowner, I was watching the kids at the local school in my white windowless van with my Milk Duds melting on the dashboard, etc....
I dont work for usic now and when I did i would answer "Oh hello you annoying b**** how do you plan to ruin my evening" lol....So oooooops
Where i work now we have ROBO Ho and I still answer like that. I dislike the robo stuff.. They are paying someone to sit in front of the computer anyways why cant they call. Because half the time you cant understand what she says like and address or ours says Contractor is "what they are doing" then it says contact number 00000000000000. I can screen a lot of my call outs out or just ignore them but with this i have to go home and look at my computer.
I never answered those calls, I just refreshed my ticket queue, it drove my supe nuts, it's one of the reasons he hated me to his very core.
It is true. USIC records everything....Sort of like NSA. Currently installing "new" GPS units in trucks.................. in-cab cameras are next. within a few months, maybe less. My two-week notice will begin the first day a camera is installed in truck!
Greetings second notice! The sups are sayin' the belief of lower the auto insurance rates is prompting the in-cab cameras. What a sad day that will be when the cameras are installed. My "give a shit" may also SNAP on that day............. just sayin'.
All the sups I know real well are tight-lipped when I quiz them on what is different between the "old" GPS units and the "new" GPS units. One said it gathers more data like seat belt usage. Am I just being paranoid?
What they are doing is firing people outright so go claim unemployment if yo do not have another job lined up. You have those two weeks to withdraw your resignation and if they 'accept' prior the two week final date they are really just firing you and you have not committed an act that disqualifies you from unemployment benefits.
Their absolute greatest fear is that an employee who feels they have been cheated by and lied to by the company will intentionally leave a million dollar damage behind as revenge. I doubt a locator marking gas and or electric would do this as it risks the lives of the excavators.

Chapter 5 – A Penchant For Potions
Part 4: A Phial Full of Revenge
Dinner was quiet. Azurine said nothing. Ienarath said nothing. Silas dared not say anything. And when everyone was done, they each retreated to their respected places; Azurine and Silas by the fire and Ienarath to her room.
In her room, Ienarath continued to work on the potion she had started earlier; the one that her aunt wanted cleaned up. It had cooked long enough, but now needed to sit for a day. It was a bright red color, but would become less vibrant, and more potent, over time. At least that was what she was expecting.
The next day was no less tense. Azurine and Ienarath were still not speaking to one another. It was only later that day, over dinner, that Ienarath decided to break the silence.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I was upset. I never knew my mother. Or my father, although I sort of remember some things about him. He was funny. I remember that. And very nice. I remember that, too. Oh, and I remember his eyes…they were a brilliant red-orange, and beautiful.
"You never talk about them. Why?"
Silas looked up, and Azurine's face softened. "Oh, sweetheart. We meant to, many times, but, well, the time never seemed right."
That evening, Silas and Azurine told Ienarath all about her parents, and Ienarath hung on every word. Afterwards, she had mixed feelings about her parents, at least the account that her aunt and uncle gave. Her mother seemed very gifted magically, but Ienarath never got the impression that she ever used her gifts to their fullest potential. And her father was a stoic man, but lacked ambition, or so she thought. She was not convinced that things would be any different had they lived. She'd still be stuck in Windhelm and still have to contend with the slow witted boys and the foolish, jealous girls.
As she listened to her aunt and uncle's stories, she reflected on her situation. The others kids seemed years behind her and her aunt was clearly holding her back in her alchemy lessons and couldn't teach her anything about magic, it would seem that her mother got all of that talent. But Ienarath knew in her heart that she had gotten both. She didn't how she knew it, but she did. It was then that she made up her mind. She had to leave, and the sooner the better. But before she could leave, there was some unfinished business that needed her attention. She smirked slightly to herself.
It was late when Ienarath finally got up and went to her room, but before she did, she stopped and addressed her aunt. "Thank you. You too, uncle Silas," she added quickly, with a smile.
Silas only smiled back, while Azurine replied, "you're welcome, dear."
"Oh. I almost forgot." Ienarath said suddenly. "Aunt Azurine? Do you have any bees wax?"
"I think so, why?"
"Oh, I'm just trying out a new potion, but I'm afraid it might stain, but I know if I put bees wax on first, it won't."
"What are you up to, Iena?" Asked Azurine as she began to open her alchemy satchel.
"Oh, nothing," smiled Ienarath.
"Here, then. But don't use it all."
"I won't." Ienarath turned and went into her room and closed the door. Her eyes seemed to glow in the darkness, and on her face she wore a frightening grin, all made worse by the shadows that danced across her face.
The next day, Azurine asked Ienarath why she was up so early. Ienarath said she wanted to go to the market and then down to the river and look for nirn root, but then, as they were leaving, she said that she had forgot something and went back inside. She watched for a moment, and when her aunt was gone, she quickly grabbed a bag that she had packed the night before out from under her bed. Then she went to her aunt's satchel. "Ah, here it is," she said, and pulled out a mirror. Stuffing the mirror into her pack, Ienarath headed to the market.
It was early, and the vendors were still setting up for the day. The bookseller, who knew Ienarath well, greeted her warmly as Ienarath came over to her. "Good morning, dear. What can I get for you today?"
"Do you have any blank journals?" Ienarath asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do! I only have a couple, though. Let me see...ah, here they are. Have a look."
Ienarath looked at the books, and without hesitation, grabbed one. "This one." Although new, the leather cover was a bit worn from rubbing up against various other things over time. The cover was a deep wine color, and had a flap that kept it shut. The fastener on the flap was gold in color...and on the front, stamped in gold that matched the clasp, was a decorative 'I'.
"Would you look at that!" Exclaimed the bookseller, and then continued with a smile. "I'd say that's destiny and worth parting with for only a septim."
Ienarath smiled and handed her a septim. By this time the streets were begining to come alive, and she knew Garn would be out and about soon. She placed the journal in her bag and then found a quiet corner away from the marketplace, but near to where she knew Garn would turn up.
Using the mirror she had taken, she began to spread, in liberal amounts, bees wax all over her lips. Satisfied that they were covered completely, she opened a small phial she had in her pocket. It contained a dull red liquid, and using a swab, she very carefully applied some to her bottom lip. Smiling wickedly, she put the phial back in her pocket, grabbed her bag, and left to meet Garn.
"Hey, Garn," she said when Garn showed up.
"What do you want," scoffed Garn, his friends stopping behind him.
"Well, I figured that maybe I wasn't being very nice lately, and I wanted to make it up to you. What do say, you want to kiss and make-up?" Ienarath smiled broadly, inviting the boy over.
"Do it, man," his friends said, chiding him on. Grinning, Garn walked confidently over and took Ienarath by the shoulders and kissed her. To his surprise, she leaned into him. She kept her lips pursed tight, and let Garn slobber all over her. He even licked her. When they parted, Ienarath quickly wiped her lips with a damp cloth she had been holding onto. Once satisfied that her face was clean, she looked at Garn. She could see that Garn had a reddish stain all over his lips and was grinning like an idiot from ear to ear.
"I'll see you later, Garn," she said sweetly, before running off.
Later that day, Garn began to feel sick, shortly after he began to vomit blood. By sunset, he was dead.

As we have mentioned on many occasions we are pretty big fans of tacos here at Ultra5280. From al pastor to carnitas any edible morsel of goodness that can be filled in a warm tortilla we are big fans of. This year we were fortunate enough to cover another edition of Tacolandia presented by our good friends at Westword.
We had pretty large helpings of the vast selection of some of the cities best taco establishments. It is hard to pick a favorite amongst the wide selection so we will just say we enjoyed them all. What is becoming a taco lovers destination event was once again filled with food, music, a car show and an outrageous lucha libre ring.
Music from Mariachi America had everybody dancing to the rhythms of salsa and cumbias, while fellow Denver spanish rock bands such as iZCALLi and Los Mocochetes brought the local flavor. Members of the Saints and Sinner Car Club had their finest whips (it's what the cool kids say instead of cars) on display. With candy coated paint jobs to dizzying chrome wheels. The event is always a favorite of ours and if you have never been we suggest you mark it in your calendar asap for next year.

May 4th Gingerbread Wookies
May the 4th be with you!
What better way to celebrate May 4th than with some Star Wars inspired Gingerbread Wookies? And do you know what I found out when I decided, last-minute, to make these? That gingerbread takes multiple days to make because you put the dough in the fridge for multiple days! That was not going to work!
Thankfully, this recipe allowed for the gingerbread to be made within a few hours. As such, it has a lighter look and taste, but there's still plenty of spice to it!
Jungle photoshoot done at work through combining potted plants, outdoor landscaping and some jurassic park forestry found online. :)
What You'll Need
I used a fork to create the fur texture for the Wookies, and heated up some chocolate Wilton candy melts for the belts and the face. It would be great to also use some white Wilton candy melts to add additional belt and eye detail for the next batch!

We caught up with alumna Dr Heather Ryan to talk to her about her time at St George's and her career path since graduating in 2011. Heather is now GP, splitting her time between working in a practice treating the the public and as a Recruitment Fellow for the Royal College of General Practitioners.
What course did you study?
Medicine (I transferred to St. George's in 2008 after my pre-clinical studies at Oxford)
What is your current role?
I work five sessions a week as a GP partner; I work two sessions a month for RCGP Midland Faculty as a Recruitment Fellow, promoting GP as a career to school pupils, medical students and Foundation doctors; I am an LMC representative; and I do some freelance medical writing.
How did you get into your current role?
I had a wonderful GP placement in my final year at St George's which changed the trajectory of my career. I'd never considered General Practice before; I'd always thought of it as rather dull. The placement introduced me to the idea that actually, GP is a very challenging specialty: you have to make your initial diagnosis and management plan based just on your clinical assessment of the patient, and you have to have such a wide knowledge base. So, after my Foundation training, I went straight into GP training. I extended my training by a year to complete a Medical Leadership Fellowship, during which I realised I wanted to be involved in the business side of General Practice. When I finished my training, I went straight into partnership. In terms of my RCGP involvement, I was the Associates in Training (RCGP GP trainees' committee) representative for my area during my training, and I got so much out of my involvement with the College – networking, a better understanding of medical politics, and a sense of friendship and community – that I wanted to stay involved once I'd qualified.
Can you describe a typical day?
I spend 2.5 days a week in practice. If I am duty doctor, I start work at 8am and work until 6.30pm, as the on-call doctor in the practice responding to urgent queries. This is very intense and can be stressful, as several urgent situations can arise at once! If it's not a duty day, I have 10 booked patients in my first morning surgery, starting at 8.30am; a half-hour break; then six more patients. We then have a gap of a couple of hours, in which the GPs do their home visits and admin, and then afternoon surgery starts: 13 patients.
On Thursdays and Fridays, I undertake my other roles, and no two days are the same. To use last week as an example, on Thursday morning I had a phone meeting about a schools outreach event that I am organising on behalf of RCGP Midland; in the afternoon I worked from home sending emails; and in the evening I attended RCGP Midland Faculty Board. On Friday I travelled up to Keele University for a meeting about another RCGP Midland event I am helping to plan.
What do you enjoy about your role?
I enjoy talking to medical students, school pupils, and Foundation doctors about the wonderful opportunities offered by a career in General Practice.
I enjoy the continuity of care that GP offers; it's very rewarding treating whole families rather than individuals, and building long-term relationships with patients makes it easier to be their doctor, as knowing the social and psychological issues helps to put patients' health problems into context.
What do you find challenging in your current role?
Decision fatigue: GPs see a new patient every 10 minutes, and, factoring in phone calls and home visits, routinely interact with more than 30 patients a day. Having to quickly assess patients and make good clinical decisions in that time frame is challenging. I love my clinical work, but I'm glad I don't do it five days a week: having a portfolio career keeps me fresh.
What advice would you give to a current student at St George's who is keen to get in to a similar area of work as you?
Say "yes" to every opportunity you're offered. I've ended up with the career I have because, if somebody asks me to do something, I say "yes" and throw myself into it. You don't need thousands of publications or audits to be offered a place on the GP training scheme – the assessment is based largely around your potential, and whether you have the right basic attitudes and competencies. So there is no real need to do anything specific as a student to maximise your chances of getting a place on the GP training scheme, but if you do get involved in things such as student societies, quality improvement projects, or charity work, then those things will help you develop into a more well-rounded doctor and give you the skills you need to make a success of your career from the start.
Which aspects of your degree are relevant for your current role?
All of it! I am particularly glad that St. George's had such a focus on communication skills and breaking bad news, as those things are such a big part of being a GP.
What would you say were the best / most challenging things about your degree?
I had a difficult experience on my first placement, where I was taught by someone who I didn't have a good relationship with and who had a negative impact on my learning experience. In retrospect I wish I'd spoken to somebody at the medical school about it; I'm sure it would have been dealt with sensitively, but it was one of my first placements and I wasn't sure what was normal.
The best thing about my degree was the huge amount of practical experience students gained on placements. As well as enjoying my GP rotation, I have particularly fond memories of my A&E and my Obs & Gynae placements.
If you could go back to your time at St George's, would you do anything differently?
I'd try to attend St. George's for longer! I did my pre-clinical studies at Oxford and transferred to St. George's for my clinical years. Although Oxford is a world-renowned university, the teaching style and course format at St. George's actually suited me much better, and I enjoyed student life in London much more than at Oxford. I wish I'd applied to St. George's in the first place and spent 5 or 6 years there!
Do you have any advice or a message for current students at St George's?
Make the most of the wonderful opportunities you're being offered! Don't just do the bare minimum: you get out of life what you put in. If you're in a student society, volunteer to serve on the committee. Get involved with the Students' Union or the BMA, or write for the student magazine. Enjoy living in London, one of the most incredible cities in the world.
Do you have any advice or a message for students considering studying at St George's?
Quite simply, I would not be the doctor I am today if I hadn't studied at St George's. Studying there was one of the best things I've ever done, and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Review
The Last Jedi is a good film. And there is a lot to cover so this is your only warning. Welcome to spoilertown.
Talking about Star Wars shouldn't be as huge of a thing as it is, but this is the world we live in now, so we either have to be the change or go with the flow, and I'm gonna try to be as normal as I can be about it by treating it like any other movie. I really enjoyed The Last Jedi. Put simply, there are some cool themes like the connections between people, some fun set piece moments that for the world of Star Wars are certainly new, and the cast is still very entertaining to watch.
The stuff I wanna get out of the way first is all the damn theory and lore stuff that plagues the majority of discussions of large fantasy franchises. Yes, they do answer who Rey's parents are. It's a little disappointing, for theory fans, them being simply junkers that sold her off, but I liked how it is presented and what it means for Rey (Daisy Ridley) as a character. It gives Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) more ammo in their yin and yang struggle, both trying to pull each other over to their respective sides, which makes for a compelling story arch for both of them. And they create some more mysteries for the fans. Not huge ones, mind you, but smaller ones that don't detract too much from the main story, the grey mirror in the cave being the biggest of them.
There are issues with the film. It ain't perfect, after all. My main one is with an idea that the movie puts forth: 'out with the old and in with the new'. In many ways it works. They've already killed off Han Solo and in this film they kill not only Snoke (Andy Serkis) but Luke (Mark Hamill) as well, and more symbolically the last Jedi temple as well. So within that world, it is an interesting idea. However, I believe that it goes against everything Disney is trying to do.
Disney's business model is basically "Sell what's already been sold". Sure they put in new mascots like BB-8 and the porgs, and yet R2 and Chewie still exist, because they still sell a shit ton of merch. And even though Kylo destroys his own helmet, symbolizing his rejection of his DarthVaderfan25 twitter handle, Disney will still bank off of their existing brands until the universe implodes. I love what it means for the characters and story, I mean they didn't cut anyone's hand off or say "I have a bad feeling about this", thank god, but they will never get rid of the main merch sellers. Be prepared to see Yoda and 3-PO for the next millennia. It was neat to see that green goblin though. But that just gives my argument more weight.
OK, now that all that other shit is done, I wanna talk about some cool stuff. Something that struck me is the decisions that the characters make. Most, if not all, of the decisions make sense. They are backed up by things that are shown in either this film or the previous. One example being Poe Dameron's (Oscar Isaac) story line. At the beginning, he's shown to be an impulsive and action first kind of character. He basically sacrifices most of their fighter squad to destroy an enemy ship. He gets demoted and when Leia (Carrie Fisher) gets put into a coma from a blast, her replacement Amilyn Holdo (Laura Dern) doesn't tell him anything, knowing that he'll try to do something rash that'll go against her plans, which he does anyway. For the most part, all of the characters make their decisions based on their own logic, and it always feels true to them, unlike Rogue One.
I really wish that the color design had been pushed a little more in the movie, because I love the color in the marketing. The black, white and red is a very cool color pallet, and this was a darker color overall, especially compared to Force Awakens, which was very colorful, but I was hoping to get a bit more. That being said, the salt planet is the coolest setting for the last battle to take place, and the colors did look amazing.
Speaking of battles, the set piece moments of this film are really cool. The opening is fun, and it serves the story, which is nice. It's not just a battle for the sake of it. Though the bit with the girl dropping the bombs was cheesy in it's execution. The casino section was cool, and showed a side of the universe we haven't seen before. And my favorite, the rebel ship slamming into the first order ships at light speed was just fucking awesome.
There is a lot more that I could talk about, including Benicio Del Toro's character, the similarities to the other movies, the theme of connections between people, but I'll have to leave all of that for the podcast. I don't want to make this super long and you don't want that either.

Polystyrene is not recyclable
How can you say that polystyrene is recyclable when most communities in the US have no infrastructure to do so? Here's what the polystyrene industry has to say: "The EPS industry developed a nationwide collection infrastructure of more than 200 collection sites to support recycling efforts. The 2013 EPS Recycling Rate Report shows that over 127 million pounds of EPS were recycled in 2013, including 72.8 million pounds of post-consumer packaging and 54.5 million pounds of post-industrial packaging. Over the past decade EPS has achieved an average recycling rate of 15%, one of the highest of the plastics family." So 85% of polystyrene DOESN'T get recycled each year. Where does it go? You can probably answer this question.

Team Ghana emerged third best overall behind Russia and Britain on the back of three gold medals, three bronze medals and a bronze in the team competition.
The Ghanaian side are expected back home from the championships on Friday with all seven medals, and inspiration to other judokas that this country can indeed win laurels in the sport.

"Our Women Have the Vote" read the headlines of the September 26, 1918 "St. Cloud Tribune". But as quickly as they gained it, they lost it.
Seneca Falls, New York had the first gathering in 1848, for women's rights in the United States. Numerous movements were attempted over the ensuing years but the turning point was in the late 1880s and early 1890s, when middle-class women became involved as volunteers in women's clubs, professional societies, temperance movements and local civic and charitable organizations. Impatient with the slow pace of change, the women's suffrage movement gained momentum.
The influx of Union Veterans in St. Cloud, Florida beginning in 1909, also brought wives and daughters from many of the northern states where women's rights movements were more prevalent. The St. Cloud Ladies Improvement Club led the charge, asking the City Council to amend the city charter so it allowed women to vote in the city elections. It was decided to hold an election on September 24, 1918 on the matter. Adopted by a vote of 179 for and 82 against, it was soon put to the test. A recall election was scheduled for January 14, 1919, in which the women did vote. But it was soon determined by Judge James W. Perkins at a hearing in Kissimmee, that the amendment to the charter allowing women to vote was illegal and unconstitutional.
Undaunted, the St. Cloud women took their fight to the Legislature and Senate in Tallahassee, joining women across the nation in the continued effort to be granted the right to vote. After the war, the measure finally cleared Congress with the House voting its approval on May 21, 1919 and the Senate on June 14, 1919. On August 26, 1920, the 19th Amendment, providing full voting rights for women nationally was ratified when Tennessee became the 36th state to approve it.

In an effort to see all of The Lich King's class-specific openers (and stream funnies), I made an auto-fill rogue deck. It went much better than expected!
I ended up keeping about 1/3 of the autocomplete deck, adding in C'thun cards and some heals. The biggest addition was Kel'Thuzad and some tricky taunts, but the deck is far from perfect. Still, not bad for something that began as completely random!
Here's the decklist - make sure to read some of the comments, as there are some great ways to further improve the deck!

While Wee Waa, Australia (pop. 2,100) may be hosting the launch party for French electronic duo Daft Punk's new album, Random Access Memories, devotees in the small town in New South Wales will not be getting first dibs on hearing the tracks. Backed by a much hyped rollout campaign, the album is easily one of the biggest releases so far this year.
Since this morning, fans have been able to stream the new album via iTunes, which was bogged down – especially in Australia – by fans accessing the newest offering by the robot dancing duet.
Fans jumped to spread the news. "HERE IT IS! Daft Punk – Random Access Memories."Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month.
Judging from Sony's gleeful promotion of the "leak" in social media, the move was clearly intentional. The marketing ploy worked. Three days after the album's first single was released last month, it was number one on iTunes in France and the UK and number three in the U.S. It also set records for most streamed track on Spotify in the U.S. and UK as well.
On Friday, the official launch of the album will take place in Wee Waa – Australia's "cotton capital", some 17,000 kilometers from Paris – at the 79th Wee Waa show, which causes the town's population to swell to around 4,000 each yet. Speculation for why the group has chosen the remote spot range from its proximity to the Narrabri Observatory and its cluster of six 22-meter-high satellite dishes – well suited to the band's interstellar aesthetic – to its communal small town vibe.
The album, which features numerous collaborations, from Pharrell Williams to Julian Casablancas (The Strokes), has received largely positive reviews mixed with some dissenters that underline the love-hate relationship many music aficionados have with Daft Punk.
Billboard called the album "messy…filled with passages that can be trimmed and one or two too many plodding songs." On balance, Billboard added, "But it's also fantastic to hear these masterminds trying again."
"What we can tell you is that 'Random Access Memories' lives up to its billing as the year's biggest electronic album and one of its biggest comeback records, wrote Tom Lee of FACT Mag. Lee added that this year has had mean competition too, with comebacks by the likes of David Bowie, My Bloody Valentine and Boards of Canada, among others. Lee has been joined by other critics in calling the song "Giorgio by Moroder" a highlight.
The band will not be present in corporeal form this Friday in Wee Waa, but an image of them in robot costume will no doubt be beamed in.

1. How good does Michelle Williams look right now, seriously?
2. My boyfriend bought this issue of GQ the other day, and as we both examined the cover - noting various elements of Michelle Williams' hotness - I happened to especially like the colour of her nail polish and lipstick. I mean, the lipstick thing was a given (Hello, lipstick is only one of the truest loves of my life!) but there's something to be said about looking at an attractive, scantily clad woman and first being drawn to her nail polish. Nail. Polish.
Oh, the differing perspectives of men and women: Almost always good for at least a slight chuckle.

Deep Fried BroccoliOkay. I'll be the first one to tell you to eat your broccoli steamed, and tossed with a bit of minced garlic, maybe some red pepper flakes, little sea salt and a pat of pure butter. It's my favorite way to eat it. Broccoli is a power house veggie that is loaded with good stuff.
So, in other words, don't go puttin' deep fried broccoli on your plate as a side dish. It's meant to be an appetizer folks, and enjoyed, like most other things such as this, in moderation. If you happen to already like broccoli like I do, you will love it like this. Serve them with plain ole ranch dressing, or a nice dipping sauce like cocktail sauce, comeback sauce, remoulade sauce, or maybe a spicy honey mustard sauce.
Recipe: Deep Fried Broccoli©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 10 minTotal time: 20 minYield: About 4 servings
- 4 cups of frozen broccoli florets
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1-1/2 cups of self rising flour, divided
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama)
- Deep fryer with fresh cooking oil
Preheat deep fryer to 375 degrees F. Beat the egg and milk together, add 1/2 cup of the flour and whisk together well to blend. Mix the remaining cup of flour with the salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning. Dip the frozen broccoli florets into the batter, then hold it up over the bowl, allowing it to drain well. Toss in the seasoned flour. Drop the broccoli carefully into hot oil and fry until golden brown, taking care not to overcrowd.
Good just as they are, or serve with ranch dressing, cocktail sauce, comeback sauce, remoulade sauce, or a spicy honey mustard sauce.
Beer Battered: Substitute a good quality light beer for the milk.
Cook's Notes: Use as a batter for other vegetables such as whole mushrooms or green beans. I use frozen broccoli for deep frying mainly because I think they work better and it's a freezer staple in my house. If you want to use fresh, raw broccoli, you'll first need to cut it into small florets, then blanch them about a minute in boiling water to partially cook them. Transfer to an ice water bath immediately to stop the cooking process, the let them dry thoroughly before proceeding.

Charleston, South Carolina /// City Guide
Hi guys! So sorry for the late post, I thought that I had scheduled it to post early this morning, but after a late night(go hawks!) & I didn't think to check before I started running errands for the day!
Ever since I visited Charleston, South Carolina a few years ago it has consistently stayed on my favorite places list, so I thought it would be fun to post a quick guide to visiting the city. It's is a city full of southern charm. As soon as you cross Calhoun Street, its like you've stepped into a southern fairytale. We were only there for a short time, but it was a beautiful place that I'm very much looking forward to visiting again.
I loved everywhere we ate. The first night of our trip we went to Poogan's Porch, a local restaurant that opened in the 1970s. The restaurant is named after a dog that used to call the porch of this house his home, the "neighborhood dog," if you will.
The menu had so many great options! We started with what we learned to be the local favorite "she-crab soup" and fried green tomatoes.
Four of us got drinks, I ordered a apple bourbon crush, and it quickly became my favorite cooler weather drink!
Places to Visit Nearby:
As an Art History Major in undergrad, I had the opportunity to take a class dedicated to American Architecture. My favorite section was the chapter dedicated to southern architecture, and one of the homes that stuck out to me was Drayton Hall.
Drayton is a beautiful Georgian plantation home built in the 1742. The home was influenced by English styles, and is built in Palladian style, a style that emerged in Renaissance Italy in 1551. I added a few pictures in the gallery on the left, some of them are just little details that I loved!
The beauty of present-day Drayton is that it is a preservation site, not a restoration. The building is being preserved in it's current state, as it looked when the family sold it to the preservation society. The grounds are lovely, with huge trees and Spanish moss blowing in the breeze. We took a guided tour of the house, and then took time to walk around the grounds on our own.
But back to closer to downtown Charleston...
I really loved all the amazing church architecture that was walking distance to where we were staying, so we went on a walking tour one afternoon and visited several of the old churches that were founded by some of the early citizens of Charleston.
The French Huguenot Church was my favorite, I loved the interior architecture and the beautiful blue chandelier that contrasted with the bright & light walls.
The original French Huguenot Church was built in 1687, but was destroyed in 1796 during a fire. It was rebuilt in 1800, and then completed in 1845.
For the last few years, when I've traveled, I've made it my goal to fit all my belongings into a carry-on sized suitcase. I'm most proud that I was able to do that for a two-week trip through Northern Europe a few years ago, but it's also a fun challenge whenever I'm not sure what the climate in a place will be.
As for what I wore in Charleston, we visited in mid-March and it was pretty chilly outside for springtime in the South, so I was happy to have packed some sweaters. My navy blue peacoat was basically essential, especially on windy days, or during the evening. Skinny jeans are a good staple for any wardrobe, so I was sure to pack a pair of those, along with a pair of longer boot cut jeans so I could switch things up. I wore mostly flats that week, but I think a pair of ankle boots would be nice to pack as well, as long as it's a pair you're comfortable walking in.
Next week I will be out of town, and am hoping to visit some fun thrift stores! Fingers crossed for some awesome furniture finds, I'll be sure to keep y'all updated!
Have a great weekend!
xo, Lauren

So, I've started this post about 3 or 4 different times, erasing and re-crafting new opening statements that speak to whatever particular topic I feel should be my go-to for this week. The problem is, my mind is so all over the place that I want to equally speak on 3 or 4 different things, and I figure I'll just do them all instead of trying to choose one.
Bee The Yogi
Last week was a really rough week for a few different reasons. I had a particularly tough day on Thursday but found solace in an unlikely spot - my neighbourhood yoga studio.
I've always been a sporadic yogi, mainly due to cost and the fact that yoga studios were often too far out of the way to make them easy for me to attend. I've always loved how yoga made me feel, so when we moved into our new 'hood over the summer and I realized that a yoga studio was within walking distance from my house, I was curious about the possibilities of signing up. Instead of doing my usual investigative process before attending any fitness class, I simply Googled the studio, found a class starting in 30 minutes, grabbed my mat, a towel, and a bottle of water, and showed up.
I'm so glad I did. Moving my body, sweating, challenging myself, and focusing on something other than my problems worked like magic. After a day where I felt like I could do absolutely nothing right, the "Good job!" I earned from the instructor as I held the eagle pose meant everything. At the end of the class, I cried all through Savasana to release my remaining stress, then signed up for the newcomer special. Let's see how this goes...
Sights Set On Spring
I'm not sure what it is, but winter 2015 is feeling like some ole bullshit for myself and a number of people I've spoken with. It seems like a lot of us welcomed this year in the midst of major flux - people are looking for new jobs, searching for new places to live, dealing with health issues, managing family issues, assessing current relationships, and are generally trying to just figure things out.
I'm calling it now: spring/summer 2015 is about to be amazing. With all of the trials and tribulations people are experiencing right now, I'm clinging to the belief that all of this chaos is just shifting the best parts of our lives thus far into place.
One of the quotes I live by in times like these is from Pearl Cleage:
The Buddhists believe that sometimes when everything is in turmoil, it's because something wonderful is ready to be born and that thing is distracting you so it can have some privacy during the birthing process.
Here's hoping that springtime gives birth to wonderful things.
Accountability Is Key
Are you working on something? Trying to achieve a goal? If you don't have an accountability partner, do yourself a favour and get one.
I have accountability partners for various things. A group of veritable strangers on Twitter make up one group - if you follow the #GetCreative2015 hashtag there, you'll find a gang of creatives who are using Twitter to keep each other working, learning, and growing, and it's been SO helpful in these first few weeks of the year. I have a girlfriend who lives in Texas who keeps me in check and inspires me on various levels, including my goal to be more physically active (she was super proud when she heard of my yoga adventure the other day). Having even one person that you can check in with and who keeps you on track with whatever it is you're trying to achieve makes a huge difference in productivity.
I've talked about mentorship and sponsorhip (two practices I wholly believe in), but having someone who keeps you accountable is another piece of the puzzle. Try to find that person for yourself, or offer to be that person for someone else - it's truly a gamechanger.
Whew. It feels good to get those mini-thoughts out. At this point, I'm just hoping for a week better than the last - and I wish the same for you.

A small church in Gainesville witnessed a miracle last week. Reverend Thomas Vander Woude's goal was to save one unborn child but he had no idea just how much support he would receive from around the globe. The pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church heard about a young couple who had just learned that their unborn child was diagnosed with Down syndrome and who planned on aborting the child. Because the couple lives in a state (not Virginia) where abortions must take place before 24 weeks of pregnancy, time was not on the child's side. According to The Washington Times, Father Woude offered the couple a deal: if the mother would deliver the child, he would find a suitable adoptive family. On Monday morning the church posted an urgent plea on its Facebook page for any families interested in adopting the child to contact Father Woude immediately. By the next morning, the church had received nearly 900 e-mails and phone calls from places as far as the Netherlands, Puerto Rico and England. This unborn child with Down syndrome was wanted and valued and loved by hundreds of strangers. Because of one pastor's bold deal, another child will get a chance at life.
A bill proposed during the last General Assembly would have saved the lives of children with a pre-birth diagnosis of disability. SB 826 would have ensured that taxpayers do not fund the unethical abortions of such children. The hundreds of responses to Father Woude's plea are proof that children born with disabilities are overwhelmingly loved and wanted. There are people waiting with open arms to welcome a child with a disability into their families. Although SB 826 failed to pass this year, the fight for the right to life for all continues. The Family Foundation will continue to work hard to protect the lives of the unborn, especially the unborn with disabilities. In the meantime, follow Father Woude's boldness; one person really can make a difference.

Alan Bishop and Mark Bostridge have edited a fantastic volume of wartime letters that were sent to and among Vera Brittain's intimate circle of friends and lovers — Letters from a Lost Generation: First World War Letters of Vera Brittain and Four Friends (1998). It's a fine collection of correspondence marked with a necessary sense of impending loss, given the frequency with which Brittain's doomed fiance, Roland Leighton, comes up. His own letters are included as well.
What struck my eye while browsing the volume, however, was a remarkable letter from Vera to Roland in October of 1915, after the Battle of Loos. This was the ill-starred battle that led to the now infamous death of John Kipling, Rudyard Kipling's only son; its immortalization in numerous books, articles, a play, and a (reasonably good) TV movie have seen the young Kipling take on a symbolically resonant status. Much of this is intentionally emphasized — even exaggerated — in the art that surrounds the event, of course; what better image could there be, from the still-disillusioned modern point of view, than that of a bright young men sent off to a war he barely understood at the urging of his famous, wealthy father? What better than that he should die unceremoniously and immediately, his body vanishing (this is debatable) forever into the mud-soaked hell of the trenches? They couldn't have done it better in a novel, and the degree to which a superficial reading of the situation lends itself exactly to the template played up by so many post-war books and poems and plays has made it hard to separate fact from fancy. My Boy Jack is fine entertainment, but it should hardly be taken as a totally reliable account of these events.
Anyway, this letter, dated October 7th of that fateful year, contains a surprising meditation on Brittain's part on the death of John Kipling. It's like nothing I've ever read from a now-canonical author of the war, and offers a perspective that would be very hard to fit into what we're all supposed to think everyone then was supposed to be thinking.
And so:
Vera to Roland. Buxton, 7 October, 1915.
I could often have wept at the casualty lists that have kept coming in this week – so many officers and most of them so young too. Rudyard Kipling's son is among the 'Missing believed killed'. I always feel sorrier when they are the sons of intellectual & brilliant people. I don't know why I should be, but somehow I always feel that they must mean even more to their parents than those of the more ordinary ones do to theirs…
Amazing — and rather against the grain of how many now feel in an age that persists in seeing Wilfred Owen's death as tragic while viewing the national grief at the death of Rupert Brooke as quaint and silly.
Three years later, in July of 1918, Rudyard Kipling himself opened up to a friend about a similar matter and about the gulf that the loss of so many young men had left in his life and in the lives of those around him. He takes as his pretext the death in action of another "son of intellectual & brilliant people" — that of Quentin Roosevelt, former president Theodore Roosevelt's youngest son. The younger Roosevelt had joined the air force and was killed in action over France on July 14, 1918. Roosevelt's own response to this (and his correspondence with Kipling on that very subject) will likely turn up on this blog later, but for now I'm going to stick to Kipling's letter to Edmonia Hill:
I see to-day that poor young Quentin Roosevelt has been killed flying. One doesn't mind these things so much for oneself as one does for other people. I know Kermit and like him immensely but I believe Quentin was a great favorite of his father's and a most promising man. His mother will feel it – and more as the years roll around.
Can you imagine such a life as it is with us here now – where there are no young men left among the people one knows, within eight visiting miles of us, every house has lost its son. Now my second young cousin – younger than John – has just gone out to take John's place in the Irish Guards, and I'm praying that he'll get a good satisfactory deep-seated wound that will keep him quiet for six or eight months.
We had a boy staying with us one Sunday night. He had just recovered from a wound and was off on Monday morning. By Thursday he was wounded and back again in hospital. Now he is out once more at the front twice wounded and a Major at the age of twenty-three! Another friend of mine is a Brigadier General, aged twenty-six! which when you remember the ancient Generals in the East seems revolutionary.
Theodore Roosevelt would not have long to grieve his son — he would die six months later, Jan. 6, 1919. Kipling would endure with his increasingly estranged wife and daughter until 1936, dying within days of his friend, King George V. The monarch, as My Boy Jack is at pains to emphasize, also lost a son during this time — though not because of the war. But that is another post for another day…

Australia and the UK renew their efforts on carbon capture and storage (CCS) research, to advance the technologies which can prevent carbon dioxide produced from energy generation and heavy industrial processes from reaching the atmosphere and are vital to the global effort of reducing CO2 emissions.
Two world leaders in CCS research, Australia's CO2CRC Limited and the UK Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (UKCCSRC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to share information and collaborate on research programs in carbon capture, transport and storage technologies.
This builds on the success of the last MoU that saw UK and CO2CRC researchers work together on first of a kind research at the CO2CRC Otway Facility in Victoria. "Under the last MoU, the collaborative research proved that CO2 can be safely stored in the subsurface for over 1000 years" said CO2CRC CEO, Tania Constable, "It is a fantastic opportunity for UKCCSRC researchers to come and work at our world class Otway Research Facility." The results have been presented at conferences in the United States, Edinburgh, London and Vienna, further broadening international collaboration into CCS.
The MoU was initiated by the announcement that the UKCCSRC secured funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to continue its work to 2022.
Prof. Jon Gibbins, UKCCSRC Director, said "The MoU with CO2CRC is the first to be renewed to span the lifetime of the new EPSRC funding for UKCCSRC, and will be a catalyst to renew the MoUs held with its other partner organisations in the Netherlands, China, Canada and the USA."
Tania Constable and Jon Gibbins signed the MoU took in Abu Dhabi at the mid-year meeting of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum, an international climate change initiative focused on the development of cost-effective technologies for CCS.
Under the MoU, CO2CRC and UKCCSRC have agreed to:

Hey, tell us a bit about yourself.
I'm originally from Richmond but i've lived right outside of Washington DC all my life and attended school there. Growing up around DC I think really impacted a lot of the work i've created. Like most cities, it's a huge melting pot area. You've got people from all over the world with different stories and aspirations. Just growing up in that environment puts a whole new perspective on everything you do. At the same time, you have politicians and people who are really into politics. So come time for elections, its like a competition to see which group can put the most campaign signs on their lawn.
When I graduated high school, I went to college in Boston and ended up withdrawing after two years. I think by the end of my sophomore year I knew i'd overstayed my welcome in that city. But I had good experiences and met really interesting people. I ended up moving out to California for an summer internship in this dirt cheap awful apartment. There was no A/C, roaches in the kitchen, and the guy letting me sublet never told his landlord so i'd have to hide sometimes. But around that time I just fell in love with making music. Writing and making my own beats allowed me to say whatever I wanted to say. Nobody could tell me to reel it in or push myself further and that was comforting to me. After leaving California, I kept pursuing music and still am to this day.
Where did the new single come from?
I had wrapped up a job at Cirque du Soleil and was really interested in making my music go in a new direction. Ever since I had started, I put out songs whenever I wanted to about anything I wanted to write about. So I wanted to create a project that pushed me. And I just remembered the absolute worst night of my life. It was one of those nights that is even worse when you remember it the next morning. I was 19 and had broken up with my girlfriend. It just ended up being a snowball effect the night we broke up and things kept piling onto one another.
So I sat down at my computer, booted up Ableton, and messed around with this idea of making songs about different times of the day. I then went back to all of those suppressed memories I had from that night and drew inspiration. Because I honestly believe everybody has had that one night where everything went awry and ended up being a train wreck. Except the train wreck is a ten car pile up on a highway and an airplane crashing directly into it all.
Is there more content in the pipeline?
Absolutely. Both "Midnight" and "Noon" are on my soundcloud right now (free to download). "Dawn" and "Night" will be coming out very soon too. I'm collaborating with some awesome engineers and producers to create a finished product that sounds the way I want it to. I'd rather take my time than rush to throw it in everyones face. No matter the amount of people listening to my music, whether it be just one or thousands, I want it to reflect who I am and have great sounding quality. There's nothing worse than listening to a song and getting the impression the artist didn't care enough to get a good, clear finished product.
What's on the horizon for you?
Hopefully something fun. If I didn't have a job right now, this may be the part where I put my resume. But I've been teaching myself guitar and piano for a few months with the hopes of incorporating real instruments in my future music. As of this moment, it's mainly synths and such. I love teaching myself new hobbies though, so i've also been giving dance a shot. I think it would be dope to collaborate with other singers or rappers too. Theres some crazy good talent in and around DC that a lot of people overlook. But we're all working hard and making sure we're not being slept on for much longer.


text: This must have been my most favorite day out of the whole duration of our trip in the South West. We woke up early and caught the sunrise looking over Monument Valley. I must say, it was certainly a view that one could not easily forget. After watching the sunrise, we hurried to check-out and drove down the road where the infamous running scene of Forest Gump was taken. Once we got the shots we hoped for, we then rushed over to Antelope Canyon where we explored the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons to end our day.

Reviewing Manuevers
The weather in the area surrounding Blue Ash Airport (KISZ) was not good this evening. There were a bunch of storms north and to the west. I called 1-800-WX-BRIEF and talked about the forecast with the weather briefer. It looked like the storms would hold off for about an hour or two.
We decided to fly out to the practice area and work on steep turns and slow flight. I was able to perform both to within the private pilot testing requirements which was a good feeling. As we completed the maneuvers, the weather started to look like it might deteriorate quickly so we returned to the traffic pattern.
On the way back, my instructor asked me to put the Instrument Flight Training Hood on to practice flying in Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions. This was the second time we had practiced with "The Hood" and I felt much more comfortable this time maintaining my course and altitude. Just when I thought I was feeling comfortable my instructor asked to take the controls and asked that I close my eyes. I guess it was not good enough that the hood prevented me from seeing out of the plane now I could not see in the plane. I felt her moving the plane around but sure enough I had troubles telling if we were climbing or descending or turning left or right. She then gave me back control of the plane asked me to open my eyes but keep the hood on. I noticed the climb indicator showed we were descending quickly even though I did not feel it and we were also turning. I pulled up and leveled the wings and brought the plane back into steady flight. It was a great lesson in learning to trust the instruments.
After this we performed five landings. The first was a regular one then we did a simulated soft-field landing, two simulated short-field landings and one emergency landing then called it a day.Posted by Todd McClamroch at June 10, 2004 9:02 PM
