Disclaimer: As always, this is just for fun! I do not own the characters of Jessica Fletcher or George Sutherland. Thank you to MCA/Universal and Donald Bain for creating these two wonderful characters. And like everyone else who is participating in this Writer's Challenge, my intent is not to infringe on anyone's copyright, nor is it to make any money.
The Challenge: How many times could I use the word ear(s)?
Jessica smiled as she watched George who was eying his
mount with what could only be described as skepticism. He had weighed in at just below the two
hundred pound weight limit but was still concerned that Cinnamon, the mule,
would not be willing or able to carry his six foot four inch frame
"George, is there something wrong?"
George turned to look at her, already seated atop Jake, and immediately detected a hint of laughter in her eyes. "Perhaps it would be best if I hiked down," he suggested.
"It's ten and a half miles," Jessica began to protest just as one of the trail hands approached.
The bright morning sun reflected off the galloping silver horses that dangled from the ears of the young woman, whose hair was pulled back in a pony tail and tucked beneath a pale pink cowboy hat. "Howdy, folks. My name is Heather," the young woman said with a welcoming smile before turning to focus her attention on George. "It looks like you might need some help getting up on Cinnamon?" she said to him as she reached up and scratched Jessica's mule on the forehead.
George shook his head. "I believe I can manage," he answered a bit reluctantly.
Jessica smiled again and shook her head. "I'm afraid my friend is concerned that Cinnamon might not be the right horse…I mean the right mule for the job."
At the sound of her name, the mule lifted her head high. Her long, narrow ears stood at attention, and she whinnied. Much to Jessica's surprise, the whinny ended with a hee-haw.
The trail hand laughed. "Quite the contrary," she assured them, "old Cinnamon here is the perfect mule for the job." She reached out a hand and scratched the animal on the withers, "as long as you know her secrets."
George looked at her expectantly, hoping for some advice. "I'm all ears," he said.
"Cinnamon loves to be scratched – not petted and not patted."
"Any special place?" George wanted to know.
"Well, like most other mules, she likes to have her forehead scratched, and her withers," she explained as she moved her fingers over each area. "But her favorite spot is right here," she said as she ran her fingers along the base of the animals mane, beginning at the head and moving downward toward the saddle.
George reached up and repeated the gesture. "And if all else fails, whisper sweet nothings in her ear and she'll do anything you want."
George looked at her skeptically.
"I'm serious. Cross my heart," the young lady promised as she made the shape of a cross over her own chest. "Cinnamon is a big flirt. She likes men, especially with deep voices like yours."
Once George was in the saddle, Heather moved on to the
next group, a family of four from
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" George eventually asked Jessica.
"That Cinnamon isn't the only one who is a big flirt?" Jessica replied, much to George's dismay. Obviously he wasn't the only one who had noticed.
She laughed when he didn't respond. "I'm just teasing. What were you thinking?"
Relieved, he answered. "I was thinking that if we survive the next seven hours, we should find a bottle of champagne and celebrate - with a moonlit walk along the Bridge Loop. And I'll whisper sweet nothings into your ear."
After a long yet pleasurable day on the hot, dusty
When Jessica returned to their cabin, which was nestled between two tall trees, giving them some modicum of privacy, she had fully expected to find George waiting for her, but he was nowhere to be found. She deposited her small bag of toiletries on the dresser and dug out a small bottle of lotion.
Hopefully he'll be along any moment, she thought as she massaged the cream into the skin on her arms and legs. Certainly he remembered that they were to eat dinner at the early seating that evening. They had discussed it just before leaving for the shower house.
Just as she began to slip her robe back on, George opened the door. A wide grin spread across his face as he slipped inside and closed the door behind him. "I see my timing couldn't be more perfect," he said as he crossed the room. "Here, let me help you off with that."
Jessica laughed as she secured the belt around her waist. "I'm afraid you missed your chance," she teased as she picked up her brush and began to pull it through her damp hair.
"Where have you been?" she asked as she watched him roll up his sleeves to his elbows to wash his hands. He had already showered, shaved, and changed clothes, so she suspected that he was up to something.
He stepped up behind her, meeting her eyes in the small mirror that hung above the dresser. "I had a couple of errands to tend to," he explained before gently laying a kiss just below her ear.
A sound of exquisite pleasure escaped her lips, making him smile. "Mmmm. I see you enjoyed that."
"Yes, very much," she replied, laying her had back against his chest.
George lifted his arm and looked at his watch before kissing her on the top of the head, as one might a child. "Dinner in ten minutes. You had best get a wiggle on."
Keeping with the western, outdoorsy theme of the ranch, their steak dinners were served with corn, baked beans, garlic mashed potatoes and fresh corn bread. They lingered over coffee until they were the last couple in the canteen. "Your dessert," the server said to George as she approached their table with a small picnic basket. He stood, discreetly slipped her a large tip, and accepted the basket.
"Ready?" he said, turning to look over his shoulder at Jessica, whose curiosity was piqued now more than ever.
Jessica smiled as she took his arm. "Shall I even ask what's in the basket," she queried.
George shook his head 'no.' "In time, Love," he replied as he opened the door and they stepped out onto the fieldstone steps that led from the main lodge to a path that would lead them towards the Colorado River. They followed the river upstream and crossed the black bridge, before heading up several switchbacks. After reaching the junction with the River Trail, they followed the trail downstream. The trail sloped gently downhill and after continuing a short distance, George stopped and surveyed the area.
"This is perfect," he decided before setting the basket down on a large rock.
"Perfect for what?" Jessica wondered, aware that the sun would soon be setting and the temperatures dropping.
"To watch the sun set," he answered as he rearranged a few items in the basket. He pulled out a large blanket and spread it over another large, flat rock. "Up you go," he said as he held out his hand to help her up three naturally formed steps.
She took a seat near the center and waited for him to join her. "Eyes closed," he instructed as he got comfortable next to her.
"But George…" Jessica's words trailed off when he pulled her close and nuzzled her neck, just below her ear. "Just one moment more," he beseeched her.
"Oh, all right, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the prospect of having to hike back in the dark."
"Shhhh," George said, placing a finger to her lips. "There's a full moon tonight. The walk back is supposed to be rather…magical."
Jessica smiled. "Magical?" she repeated as she closed her eyes. George wrapped a second blanket around her shoulders and then dug into the basket once again. Suddenly, she heard the distinct "pop" of a cork and her smile broadened across her face.
George watched her out of the corner of his eye with pleasure as he poured a single glass of champagne. "Magical," he added as he held the glass just in front of her lips.
Jessica laughed as the golden liquid effervesced, rising to tickle her lips and nose. George savored a drink and then kissed her, gently at first, on the tip of her ear lobe, and then slowly making his way down to her neck, and eventually to her lips, all the while leaving a trail of tingling sensations along his path. After leaving her nearly breathless with a deep, sensuous kiss, he poured a second glass of champagne for her and then settled in to watch the setting sun.
She cuddled up close, within the circle of his arms, and sipped contentedly from her glass. "Is there anything else in that basket?" she wondered as they watched nature paint the sky with vivid strokes of gold, pink, and red.
"Aye," George replied, giving her a small kiss on the top of her head.
The pair sat quietly, enjoying their privacy below millions of stars overhead. "George?"
"Tell me a story."
"Which one?"
Jessica scanned the night sky before deferring to him.
"Alright, then, I'll tell you the story of Bethulah."
"Virgo the Maiden."
George gently turned Jessica's shoulder to the right. "Follow the arc of the handle of the Big Dipper to the East a bit until you find the kite-shaped figure of the Herdsman. You'll have to tip your head because he is lying on his side. Got it?"
"Continue to follow that line to the brightest star in the next cluster. That is tzemach and if you look closely, you'll see that tzemach sits amongst a group of stars shaped like an ear of corn. And that is Virgo the Maiden holding the ear of corn in her left hand and a sheaf of wheat in her right."
"I see her. Isn't she the Greek Goddess of Agriculture."
"Very good – Virgo the Demeter. Or Ceres as the Romans called her, or Isis, Ianna, or Eostre."
"For Easter?"
"Right again. But she was also called Astraea for innocence and purity…"
After George finished his story, the couple enjoyed a moonlight walk back to their cabin where they shared fresh strawberries and a second glass of champagne. "How did you manage it?" Jessica wondered as she wrapped her leg over his and rested her palm on his warm, bare chest.
"What?" George mumbled in response.
sat up a little. "How did you manage to
get fresh strawberries and champagne down to the floor of the
George laughed. "No, it most definitely is not on the menu in the canteen."
"The staff helped me smuggle it down," he finally admitted after some prodding.
"George, you shouldn't have. I'm sure it was expensive."
"Not like you might think."
Jessica eyed him suspiciously. "You had to work it off, feeding Cinnamon her nightly snack."
Now George rolled to face her and propped himself up on one elbow. "How did you know that?"
Jessica laughed. "When you came back from your shower, you immediately washed your hands. You also had dark red mud on your shoes and a small piece of carrot greens dangling from your shirt pocket."
George laughed before he kissed her on the tip of the nose. "Jessica, you're amazing!"

Interview with Groupe Convex Executive Director Caroline Arcand and OISE/UT PhD Candidate Ushnish Sengupta on the Groupe Convex case study
1. Please provide us with a brief description of Groupe Convex.
Groupe Convex (GC) is a nonprofit organization under which there is a group of diversified social purpose enterprises, employing people with various abilities, including people who are at great risk of unemployment, among whom the majority faces an intellectual disability. The social enterprises also employ Joe Average and Above Average, from the rural community of Prescott-Russell, in Eastern Ontario. The term 'convex' was chosen to highlight the fact that when someone looks into a convex mirror, his or her image is magnified. Therefore, the organization aims to increase its employees' self-esteem by allowing them to assume a valued role. A valued role, in our northern American society, is one of the workers! Being at work is one of the most ''valorizing'' roles for any Canadian citizen.
Convex not only crafts valued roles through various positions that are held at work by its targeted employees, but also by facilitating the development of significant relationships with other members of their community, namely, with the loyal consumers of its goods, products and services. The intention of GC is to help the employees to become active and equal members of local civil society. The employees work at one of the following businesses: a printing shop, a café, an antique refurbishing shop, a woodshop, a three-location transfer site for recyclable materials, a packaging and assembly facility, a service business offering indoor-outdoor maintenance, moving and painting services, and a farm labour pool that operates vegetable stands in various villages.
Convex generates about 64% of its operational budget, with income from sales, which will be, at the end of this fiscal year, close to $4M. Among our prestigieus customers, you'll find Alexandria Moulding, Rona, Home Hardware, WoodSource, SpringWater, Guelph University, OPP, various townships, Tomlinson, just to name a few.
2. Please describe the portion of Groupe Convex that is involved with the CURA.
Because it was not possible to measure SROI within all of the businesses, Recycle-Action, the transfer site for recycling of BlueBox and IC&I recyclable wastes, was chosen. This particular business works in partnership with numerous stakeholders and has a social, environmental, community and economic impact. Therefore, it was identified among all others as the most interesting one for the purpose of this research project. Board members, the Upper management, Managers, employees, targeted employees and families, community partners, business partners, customers, dignitaries, elected officials, business sector reps and social services reps were interviewed and consulted.
3. What motivated you to become involved with this project?
In the past 5 years, the market share of the enterprises within Groupe Convex has increased at a rate of $250,000 annually. Although the majority of companies in the region support this socio economic initiative, the social purpose enterprises among the GC network compete with other ordinary businesses. We needed, as an organization, to demonstrate that we were not only fairly competing with our competitor, but also, that our businesses were not operating as a means to increase someone's wealth, but to support social, environmental and community causes. Some business owners are not familiar with the reality of GC social enterprises, which employ very limited and vulnerable people who would not otherwise be employed somewhere else and for whom ourselves, as employers, (the businesses) needed to be financially supported by public funding (36%). Invoking the SROI is a more positive way to demonstrate not only the need for social purpose enterprises in our area, but also the savings generated by government from investing in this type of firm.
4. What model are you using for the research?
A Social Return On Investment SROI model was applied to Recycle Action at Groupe Convex. Simply stated, SROI describes the social impact of a business or nonprofit's operations in dollar terms, relative to the investment required to create that impact and exclusive of its financial return to investors (Lingane and Olsen 2004).
There are multiple SROI methods available for use, based on analysis along a number of dimensions; we selected the UK SROI method (Nicholls, Lawlor, Neitzert, & Goodspeed, 2009) for application to Groupe Convex. The UK SROI method has been applied to a number of projects with some examples published on the SROI network website (www.thesroinetwork.org).
Nicholls suggests the following stages for carrying out an SROI analysis (Nicholls et al., 2009):
1. Establishing scope and identifying key stakeholders;
2. Mapping outcomes;
3. Evidencing outcomes and giving them a value;
4. Establishing impact;
5. Calculating the SROI;
6. Reporting, using and embedding.
5. Where are you in the research process?
The following activities have been completed:
• Initial and follow-up interviews with key Groupe Convex stakeholders.
• A stakeholder analysis
• Mapping outcomes through a Program Logic Model
• Application of the Sustainable Livelihood Model
• Sample SROI calculations for selected stakeholders
6. How do you see Groupe Convex benefiting from the research?
Thus, GC can say, according to the results of this analysis, that the funds received by Valoris from government are not an additional expense, but are an effective avenue to move people from a role of a welfare beneficiary, to a role of an employee. This investment is lower than the alternatives and generates other societal good – for example, the positive impact to the family and the community, including the business community. The outcomes of this research can be useful while we apply for funding, to help us build and increase our capacity to develop and create more opportunities for people at risk.
7. How do you see the larger social economy benefiting from the research?
In an environment of funding reductions and increasing demand for services, social economy organizations are being asked to demonstrate value in a number of different ways. Determining the Social Return On Investment for a project or an organization provides one such solution for demonstrating value. By providing a case study for a SROI method application, other social economy organizations can perform similar analyses and demonstrate the value of their own activities. SROI methods have also been used in other contexts for a comparative ranking of different projects, a comparison of risks and rewards for different investment options, showing potential customers (for example, public bodies or other large purchasers) that they can take account of social and environmental impacts, and increasing availability of funding in a greater variety of formats, including credit and equity financing.

'Unhappy' Javed Hashmi reaches Multan
Sources told that Hashmi was reportedly unhappy with PTI chief Imran Khan for agreeing to army being involved in the political process.
Sources told that the PTI leader was also indisposed; hence it was a secondary reason prompting his departure from the PTI protest camp in Islamabad. However, the core reason of his difference with the PTI was the army's role of mediator in the political deadlock, they added.
Sources informed that he had said last night "only political leaders should have resolved the differences mutually."
Imran Khan had asked his supporters to wait till Friday evening for resolution of dispute as Army Chief General Raheel Sharif had entered as a mediator on request of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to clear the air.

Every morning I spend fifteen minutes filling my mind full of God, and so there's no room left for worry thoughts. Howard Chandler Christy
Many people, particularly friends and well wishers have often asked me how I am able to keep up my New Year Resolution to write this blog every single day, in addition to my weekly blog (www.poweract.blogspot.com). I don't worry about how I will write if I am out of town and don't have access to the net connection. In fact I have consciously refused to look at the topic for the next day (this is taken from a PPT that I received which is actually put up by someone not known to me at all, and which is available on (www.actspot.com) Well truth be told, I am surprised myself, but the one secret is that I have never worried about the topic for tomorrow and what my response would be. In fact for Indian readers who have seen the movie 3 Idiots, there are times when I actually tell myself 'All is Well"
Does it mean I don't worry? Alas, worry will always be a constant devil that will chase you till your last breath; the antidote is 'faith'. When we begin every day with a prayer on your lips, faith in God and yourself and a positive frame of mind, worry will be banished for the day. However, it may make the odd appearance, when your spirits are low and a task looks daunting or a situation looks bleak and desperate. Death for instance is a reality that everyone has to face; be it that of parents, siblings, friends, spouse or loved ones. Can we then in fear and hopelessness cower and slunk with worry? Sounds foolish but then if we are short sighted and seek escape in worry, we end up as nervous wrecks and not joyful beings.
The spate of suicides amongst us particularly the young, the youth and the students is 'worrying' to say the least and paradoxically is the culmination of their individual 'worries' seeking relief through desperate means. If all those who have suicidal tendencies, just pause to ask themselves one question ''Will this last?', they would have realized that most worries are by and large temporary, a few, more long term and a minuscule lot of our troubles are permanent and inescapable. Take the case of paraplegics, those suffering from terminal illness and those having mentally challenged children or siblings; they have worries of a long term and permanent nature. What is their response? They seek courage and hope in prayer and in themselves. As Paul Brunton correctly put it "Worry is spiritual short sight. Its cure is intelligent faith." Suicide is escape from worries not a solution or a remedy.
Remember: "Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy."Leo F. Buscaglia quotes
Try these:
- Most of us are scared to even think of our worries; so you have to take that special effort to outline your worries now. It could be fear of exams, apprehension about your relationships, career prospects, financial stability, a personal illness or that of a loved one etc. Once you list it down, ask yourself if the listing down makes you more anxious or more relieved that you have identified it? Now for each of the worries identify who can help you or who can you confide in and share with, your worries. Meet them at the earliest and try to get guidance and solace.
- Many of your worries are actually your lack of faith in yourself or your dogmatic refusal to address the concern under some garb or excuse. Be honest and review your list of worries and ask yourself if the problem is s gigantic or desperate as you make them out to be? Can many of them be partially addressed by you accepting that you have to do something about it? Are you ready to take that effort? Are you afraid, ashamed or defiant to seek help?
- Ask yourself the following questions and be proactive in your response! If you see that someone is in trouble and worrying, are you prepared to go that extra step and offer your help? Do you have the tendency to say that ' I don't want to get involved'? Are you scared that getting involved would make me more caught up than what I really see myself wanting to? Do you realize that Listening is the best help that you can give to someone with a worry? Can you spare time to just LISTEN to another?

Vitamin C Essential for Better Brain Health
The health benefits of vitamin C go far beyond boosting immunity, fighting colds and making your skin look more radiant. Recent research shows it may also help reduce cognitive decline and the risk of diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
In a study published in the journal Nutrients, researchers explored the association between vitamin C levels and health effects in 50-year-old participants. The individuals were tested on a range of cognitive functions — such as memory and concentration — as well as metabolic factors like cholesterol and triglycerides.
Correlations were immediately noted between vitamin C levels and metabolic health. Participants with higher levels of vitamin C had lower BMIs, smaller waist circumferences and even better levels of insulin and HbA1C, an indicator of better blood sugar control. Altogether, these findings suggest vitamin C may help in preventing — and even alleviating — diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
But, most surprisingly, the results showed a fairly strong correlation between vitamin C levels and healthy cognition.
Introducing the Italian Secret Shown to Balance Cholesterol in Just 30 Days
You deserve to know about a safe, effective way to combat an especially dangerous form of cholesterol that your doctor has almost certainly never mentioned to you.
Reap the remarkable cardiovascular benefits of this exceptional cholesterol-balancing solution that can block cholesterol production in your liver, protect your arteries, prevent dangerous LDL oxidation and cut blood sugar levels that trigger inflammation.
Can Vitamin C Boost Your Brain Health?
Researchers found that a 1-micromole-per-liter elevation in blood levels of vitamin C was linked to a 3-percent reduction in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Levels below 23 micromoles per liter, which are categorized as a moderate deficiency, doubled the risk of MCI.
While surprising to many, this correlation makes perfect sense.
Concentrations of vitamin C are much higher in the brain than in other parts of the body. Even when blood levels are low, the brain strives to maintain its supply. This is perhaps partly due to the fact that vitamin C is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, and is key to the formation of the myelin sheath that protects nerve cells and speeds impulse transmission. Its prominence in the brain certainly indicates that it plays an essential role in cognition.
Vitamin C: An Underestimated Nutrient Hero
After all these years, it's possible we all take this essential nutrient for granted.
In addition to the above, research has confirmed vitamin C has powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It is also a fierce antioxidant that has been shown to curb cancer cell proliferation in some types of cancers, and has demonstration use as both an antibacterial and an antiviral agent. It's also particularly important in producing collagen and metabolizing proteins, which is why vitamin C is heavily promoted for healthy skin. Studies suggest vitamin C supports wound healing, lowers histamine and even lends to healthier blood vessels. It also may reduce the risk of cataracts, diabetes and anemia and seasickness.
Vitamin C Guidelines and Food Sources
Although only 10 milligrams (mg) per day prevent scurvy, the RDA is 75 mg/day for women and 90 mg/day for men. In the above study, only 7 percent of the participants had optimal levels, while 63 percent had inadequate levels. Factors such as chronic disease, smoking, alcohol consumption and exposure to pollution create extra demand for the vitamin.
The body doesn't manufacture vitamin C, so it must be supplied in the diet. Fruits and vegetables are the best source, and because heat destroys the vitamin, it's best to eat some of these foods raw. Extra rich sources include citrus, papayas, pineapples, kale, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and mangos.

Now I am fascinated with pelicans as the soar using the thermals on a sunny day. The brilliant white contrasts with some black under the wings. They gracefully ride the thermals and once in a while take a few powerful wing beats to move around in the thermal.
Most days you can spot pelicans around Red Deer as they summer up and down the red Deer river using the islands for safe loafing grounds.
My favorite time watching Pelicans in flight was a time they were flying down the Red Deer River. I happened to be standing on a high bank at River Bend. The pelicans flew at eye level with me as they cruised down the river.

2017 is coming to an end, which means it's time for all the best of, worst of, and what-the-heck-were-they-thinking lists. We're kicking things off with one list that we've been keeping our eyes on all year: the worst celebrity outfits of 2017.
These are truly the worst of the worst. Not only has there been some ridiculously over the top red carpet looks, there have also been one or two everyday outfits that absolutely need to be burned. Everyone from Girl Crush to Rita Ora has had their flops included on this list. No one is immune in the eyes of the fashion police, as you're soon to find out.
Some celebrities have even mixed up red carpet events with famous movie openings… The mess goes on and on. As 2017 draws to a close, don't be afraid to kick up your heels and gorge on 'worst of' lists and shortbread cookies. After all, you can consider it a learning experience. Now you know to never wear a ball pit for a dress and to avoid fabrics that look more like wet latex than luxurious satin! 2018 can't get worse than this… Right? We sure hope so. Sit back, relax, and take a gander at our rankings of the worst celebrity outfits of 2017!
We think Cara Delevingne is the type of woman who can pull off anything. She's had a few flops on red carpets before, and taken out of context this is definitely one of them. Her hair is lovely, and really adds to the personality she brings to her red carpet outfits. That's part of the reason we can't get over this ugly bald cap that might be sprouting feathers onto her forehead. Not to mention all the bedazzling! It wasn't enough to dunk your head in silver paint, Cara? You had to add some tasteful jewels to it too? While it was appropriate for the event she was going to, at the end of the day this is definitely not a look that she should repeat.
Should we mention how her hair makes her look even more tired than normal? Or how about the boots that seem to be hinting at her being a transformer robot? Or should we just focus on the fact that this lovely lace throw over has been scribbled on by an angry toddler? No doubt it wasn't actually coloured in by a child; we're sure she spent a lot of money, and some designer is very proud of the work they've done on this piece. Unfortunately, all together it just doesn't fly. There's not enough light in the darkness to balance out those bold, gold blotches. And it's definitely too busy for our liking. Those shoes aren't helping either, and her hair doesn't add anything at all. Overall, this outfit deserves two thumbs down on both the design side AND the wearability.
We're going to be totally honest with you; we have no idea what Cee-Lo Green could have been thinking when he decided to put this on. Not only did he have to slide on into this gold robe ensemble, he also had to coat his whole body in golden body paint. It's possible he replaced the rinse setting on a car wash with liquid gold and walked through it. It's also possible he forgot that this was the Grammys and not the opening for the newest Star Wars movie. Or, maybe he was going to a super secret screening of it and thought the outfit could work as both a day and a night look. Newsflash, Green: It does not. Please take off the gold mask before the death star comes for you.
Zoey Deutch is a gorgeous individual. She's got a hair colour that most of us spend hundreds of dollars trying to achieve at the hairdresser's, and a body that looks like it could have been carved by forest elves out of beautiful soft river stones. Maybe that's a little much. But she sure is pretty! Just not in this dress. It looks like it was ripped straight off of her grandmother's couch, or picked up off of the living room floor. The colours are a great match for her, but the pattern is just too much. While it's a little more normal than Cee-Lo's, it's definitely not an improvement. We think that Zoey could have toned down the patterns a little, maybe wearing the top part with a nice, plain skirt.
There's always at least one demonic doll on worst dressed lists. Grace Hartzel was counted as one of the worst of the worst on a few different resources we found. Not only was she bad in the realm of actual celebrity outfits, she was bad at the costume outfits too. While you might have thought that this was for a Halloween party, it was actually for the same red carpet that housed Cara Delevingne's bedazzled bald cap. It was for an art show opening, and everyone was encouraged to dress on theme. Hartzel here missed the mark, and the worst part? The party didn't even happen close to Halloween. She just looked spooky for her own enjoyment. Nothing wrong with it, but it does win her the "Excuse me please leave" award on our worst dressed list.
Everyone loves ball pits! What's not to enjoy about a bottomless chasm full of joyfully coloured plastic spheres? Well, outside of the germs and the children hiding inside of them, not much. That's probably why Girl Crush decided to deconstruct a favourite childhood activity and put it on her body. She did indeed wear this to one red carpet or another, which leaves us shaking our heads. Why? Who in their right mind would want to show up wearing some candy-coloured plastic play things? The ball jokes probably got out of hand, knowing how red carpets go. She might have looked happy, at the start, but we're sure she saw the error of her ways pretty quick. Hopefully she'll stick to more traditional gowns in the future.
Yes, we chose to focus on the moody boyfriend accessory in our title, but we're pretty much disgusted by this whole outfit she's got going on. What is it with sparkly bald caps this year?! If it's a new trend, we hope it dies before 2018 comes around. Nobody looks good in these things. NOBODY, ROSE! Plus, what is up with that shirt? It looks like someone cut a garbage bag into strips and tried to mummy wrap her. The next time her designer tries to get her to squeeze into something like that, she needs to say no. Everything is dark and dire in this outfit, including the questionable boyfriend she's got beside her. Try a nice, sparkly accent clutch next time, Rose. And maybe look at a matching set of shoes.
She would have looked good if it wasn't for a few things here. Firstly, those sleeves. They're too big for anyone to look good in, especially when paired with the belt. She should have stuck to something a little smaller as an accent for this outfit. Don't even get us started on the sequins vs. feathers battle that's happening here. It's as if a giant ostrich battled godzilla, and the aftermath resulted in this strange dress. It looks a little scaly, but there's also feathers all over the bottom. What were you going for, Tracee Ellis Ross? Normally she looks so lovely, but this one really didn't hit that mark. Next time, leave the 80s movie monster dress for the nostalgia themed party. Not the red carpet!
PopArt was a popular art style that featured bright colours, reprints of the same image, and bold lines. It took the essential elements of a concept, shape, product, or person, and turned it into an art almost-brand. You'd probably be familiar with Andy Warhol, who was one of the inventors of PopArt. It's a movement that definitely did change how we looked at art, but one that's become novel and outdated now. PopArt is nowhere near as edgy as it was, making Elle Fanning's dress less of an envelope-pusher and more of kid's art project gone awry. The colours are too much and too all over, and the print pattern has no definition to it. We think she would have been better off making a statement some other way, rather than with bold colours and old lines.
Zendaya has been killing it lately, but not in this outfit. The total opposite of the dress that's above her, Zendaya's outfit is a drab reimagining of a paper bag. It's not that it looks bad on her, it's just really dull! For someone who's usually so outgoing and personality-driven, that's a little weird. Maybe she was hoping her wild smile and funky sense of humour would pull it out of the plain jane territory and into the quirky zone. If that was her goal, we don't believe she hit it. The bodysuit is just a little too normal for our liking, and definitely doesn't belong on a red carpet. Running to pick up groceries? Totally. Accepting awards and feeling fabulous? We don't believe that it can really do that.
We all want to feel like we're draped in gold (see: Cee-Lo Green), but sometimes it's not the best option for us. You'd think that Cate Blanchett would have been one of those people who could pull off gold draping no matter what, but it's turned out to not be the case. The dress isn't flattering at all, and the colour and shine is far too bright for her. It overpowers her face and her hair, as well as those shoes… Which, by the way, make no sense. While we appreciate the articles that say "black heels go with everything", they're not always right. Black heels apparently do NOT go with gold drapes artfully cinched over someone's body. We would have gone with a nice green, or a peachy pump. Anything but this in-your-face look.
Debra Messing is gorgeous, and really quite lovely. We appreciate that she's always trying to toe the line between being elegant and graceful while still retaining some of her quirky fun. Take, for example, this dress. The cut and fit is a classic, which flatters her hourglass figure incredibly well. Even the colour suits her, which is rare for that shade of purple. The thing we're not loving? That texture. It looks wet. And slick. Almost like one of those oil spots on the road after it rains. We'd guess it's a fabric somewhere between seaweed and latex, which doesn't at all belong on a red carpet. We wish we could have seen her shoes, since we can't help but wonder if she's wearing heels… Or flippers.
Maybe… It was a theme? We sure hope she had a reason to be dressed as a grieving plant. There's absolutely no other excuse for her to be dressed like this, unless it's a publicity stunt. We just can't think of a designer that she would call that would actively suggest strapping a lattice of black flowers to your back. Especially when her little black dress underneath it is so cute! Maybe this would have been a fun outfit, if only she wasn't wearing those horrible black gloves. They don't add anything to the outfit other than a feeling that she might be going to a funeral after this. If that laughter was crying, we might even be willing to believe that she was heading to a funeral after the show. It's not like we hope something bad happened, we just can't believe anyone would wear this!
Where to start. How to end. Obviously these were the questions the designer of this outfit was asking as they sewed together a reject skirt and a startlingly 90s mom sweater. The matching hat kills us as well, as does that ill-fitting skirt. The icing on the cake is really the accessories though, which consist of a pair of heels that grandma might have worn in the 1920s, and sunglasses that might have been stolen from John Lennon. There's just so much wrong with this outfit, and she's wearing it out in public. She's not even on a red carpet! It must have been a field day for the paparazzi, getting such a huge score as this embarrassing outfit. She looks happy though, so… Maybe it's comfortable?
Finally, the worst outfit of 2017. While you might have thought some of these other outfits deserved the top spot, Rita Ora took the cake with her bold statement about wearing clothing. When she was hosting MTV's EMAs she chose to stay comfy and cozy in her hotel bathrobe. Okay, maybe it wasn't a regular old hotel bathrobe. It was probably specially made for her, especially considering the fact she switched to an identical shorter one for the hosting itself. On the red carpet though, this is a wacky statement that totally denounces the rest of the awards show goers. Who needs to buy a fancy dress when you look like Rita Ora? She knows that it's ridiculous. That's why she opted for comfort, and we all love her for it… Even if it is the worst outfit of 2017.

Playing a Texture in The Band's Visit
Mo Brady
Often when we mention an ensemble, we talk about the energy they bring to a musical. In a traditional Broadway musical, we look to an unnamed ensemble of non-specific personalities to either provide support for the protagonist's journey or to act as an obstacle for the leading characters. While these kinds of ensembles have a point of view, it is usually a singular purpose shared by the entire supporting cast.
In The Band's Visit, the acting company works as an ensemble not to provide support or obstacles but to provide context. What is so successful about the ensemble work in The Band's Visit is not the ways they interact with the lead characters, but the texture they give to the environment.
One of the incredible ways The Band's Visit envelops its audience is by featuring its musicianship. While the show is definitely a musical, there are long stretches of time without a traditional theatre song. And yet, the musicians spend time a lot of time on stage, not as actors commenting on the action but as people in the story. The four onstage musicians who play members of the band, Ossama Farouk, Sam Sadigursky, Harvey Valdez and Garo Yellin, are presences in the events of the show even without speaking lines. And yet, when they perform virtuosic solos on their instruments they feel just as vital to the show as the actors who do have lines.
Perfectly balancing the metaphorical tightrope between actor and musician is George Abud as Camal. While he is one of the actors credited with a specific character in book scenes, he is also one of the show's most heavily featured musicians. With haunting eyes and a cigarette dangling precariously from his lips, he seamlessly flows from actor to musician in a way that defies description. Whether he's playing a violin solo or simply staring into space, It's a performance that can be best defined as a "presence."
Often when a show employs its performers as a non-traditional ensemble, it uses some sort of framing device to justify it. We saw this concept used beautiful in this season's Once On This Island, where audiences enter the theatre to find a stage of actors playing Haitians who will eventually tell the story of Ti Moune. But in The Band's Visit, no such device is needed. Since all of the actors play featured roles, we believe them as real inhabitants of Beit Hatikva no matter the character.
Moments after Andrew Polk as Avrum brings down the house with his performance of "The Beat of Your Heart," he transforms into a silent and unassuming cashier. In the same scene, Bill Army and Sharone Sayegh play two judgmental restaurant customers who are completely different from their comedically ostentatious characters of Zelger and Anna. Similar shape shifting occurs from cast members Rachel Prather, Jonathan Raviv and Kristen Sieh in their various roles both large and small.
This duality is perhaps embodied most beautifully by Adam Kantor as Telephone Guy. For the majority of the show he silently stands onstage, eagerly awaiting the ring of a public telephone. And yet, when he finally gets his moment to emote in the haunting beautiful "Answer Me," we are already deeply invested in his story. While almost every performer on the show gets a moment to stand downstage center, they also help to create the beautiful texture of The Band's Visit.

Choosing To Making A Difference
As I stated in my last blog post, I decided to temporarily come off of my miracle drug, Sinemet (AKA L-Dopa), in an attempt to raise awareness of Dopa Responsive Dystonia (DRD). This was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be and quite frankly I'm not sure how I lived like this for three decades. I'm no longer the strong woman I once was. I can no longer live with muscle cramps, spasms, a leg dragging behind me with a tip toe walk. And I certainly can't do it with a smile on my face like I did for years! My life has drastically changed for the better and I will forever be grateful, but I can't help but feel that I have to help others who are misdiagnosed, like I was for 33 years! Yes, I know that DRD is very rare, but if my story can help just one person, then everything I went through will be worth it. Please help me spread the word about DRD by sharing this video. Thank you so much for all your support!
Looking Back
I've learned so much about myself this past week, while I came off of my l-dopa. Yes, you read that correctly... I came off my miracle drug.
Back when I thought I had Cerebral Palsy (CP), I rarely let anyone video tape me. Not many people like to be recorded and with my physical abnormality, I'd avoid being recorded at all costs! That means I have very little documentation to show how difficult my walking really was. When I took l-dopa for the first time, I had no idea that it would be so life changing. I know that there are other people out there who are misdiagnosed with CP, like I was for three decades. If my story helps one person, it will be worth it.
I stated at the beginning of this post, I learned a lot about myself while coming off the medication. First, I never realized what a strong woman I was. Honestly, I'm not sure how I stayed so positive with muscles twisting in every direction, pain and the struggle to get from A to B. It's only been four years since my DRD diagnosis, but I had forgotten how my body would go into full spasm when there was a loud sound or if someone bumped me as they passed by. Life with this debilitating disease is NOT easy when you're not medicated correctly. I also learned that it's okay to take some time for myself. Because I was so limited this past week, I spent a lot of time watching television, reading and just playing on the floor with my boy. These past couple years I have been so busy making up for lost time, that I forgot what it's like to just sit. Sure, it gets boring after a week, but once in awhile would be a welcomed treat for me.
Anyway, I'm back and will begin sharing my video diary of me coming off my medication (as well as coming back on it) next week!
My First Guest Post
Over the past couple years, I have met some wonderful people on different Dystonia Forums. Together, we are all trying to raise awareness about this neurological disorder in hopes of making September an official Dystonia Awareness month. My friend Holly Saltzman has graciously agreed to share her story on my blog. I have to personally thank her for writing the post below. To learn more about Holly and view her blog, click the Button below.
I have Dystonia. Well, Doctors say it is atypical, and tell me it's caused by conversion disorder (which is a whole other story) but it doesn't change the fact that my muscles twist and spasm and make life difficult. Dystonic spasms are when opposing muscles pull against each other causing movements or odd positions of the affected part of the body it chooses to attack. These spasms can be quite painful. For me, sometimes they can just keep twisting until I don't think it's possible it can twist any more and then it does anyway. It can be enough to make one scream in pain. It's not always that severe, but more often than not it is uncomfortable and makes trying to live life more difficult, and at times downright debilitating.
Imagine having to fight your muscles just to get dressed, or to try to fix the simplest of meals... Sometimes it's impossible, but usually I try to push through, I'm a determined person, and well, my family needs me. There were many times I had to make sure I was safely seated before holding my baby, afraid I would fall or drop him or her if I tried to carry them while walking. We learn to adapt, I've modified things, but have to continue modifying things as my condition has progressed and gotten worse. I now can't drive due to my spasms, both in my limbs and back as well as my eyes. I don't want to put my children, or anyone else on the road at risk because of my inability to be sure I can drive safely. I sometimes wonder if I will ever be able to drive again, it would be a wonderful thing if I could! I dream of being able to be able to do more things with my children, without my body holding me back. Maybe someday that will happen... But, maybe not. I've learned to make the most of today because I don't know what tomorrow will bring.
There are all different types of dystonia, depending on what part of the body it affects or whether it is the main symptom, or secondary to other disorders and diseases. It is often misdiagnosed, and treatment options are not always all that effective, or the side effects are worse than the disorder itself. I dream of a day that first of all when it will be well enough recognized that people don't have to suffer through being misdiagnosed, or when symptoms get severe that they can go to the ER for help and actually get help. Ultimately I hope for a day that a cure can be found, and that some cases even be prevented. Would you help us with that goal, by signing a petition to make September a Nationally recognized Awareness Month for Dystonia? It would only take a couple minutes of your time and help thousands of people. If you do, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Signing the petition is as easy and you will be making a difference. Click the button below to sign the petition and help us to bring awareness to Dystonia.
June 2017
After living the first 33 years of my life thinking I had Spastic Diplegia, a form of Cerebal Palsey, I was correctly diagnosed with Dopa Responsive Dystonia (DRD). I am on new medication and doing things that I never imagined possible. This has changed the lives of my husband and two daughters. I truly believe that I am living a miracle each and every day. Life can't get any better than this!

Cyber Crimes Bill now a matter of urgency: Cisco
A long time in the making, South Africa's Cyber Crimes Bill is inching closer to becoming law, as it was passed by the National Assembly in November 2018.
The initial draft Bill was not well received, with critics saying it was too broad and open to abuse, and was a threat to the fundamental spirit of the Internet, which is open and democratic.
Subsequent changes to the Bill, including the removal of some of the security obligations, saw it drop the 'security' part of the originally named Cyber Crimes and Cyber Security Bill.
"This leaves it to focus on building out the computer crimes landscape," says Corien Vermaak, cyber security specialist at Cisco, who will speak at ITWeb Security Summit 2019, to be held from 27 to 31 May at the Sandton Convention Centre.
She says historically, SA relied on a light definition of computer crime encapsulated in the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act.
Comparing SA to its international counterparts, Vermaak says: "We are very late to adopt legislation; in the UK, computer crime was maturely criminalised in the 90s. The Budapest convention was signed in November 2001 and the African Union accepted model legislation in this regard in 2012 already."
This is now a matter of urgency for South Africa, she says.
Speaking of the impact the Cyber Crimes Bill will have on business leaders, Vermaak says the debate of consequences is one that may be seen as theoretical, as many industry players have voiced concerns that our government structures are unable to effectively prosecute these crimes due to numerous reasons, including a lack of skills.
"This lack of skills is not unique to government, as there is a general lack across the disciplines of computer security and crime. However, the intent of the Bill is to hold criminal elements as well as organisations responsible for the part they play in facilitating and enabling these crimes to take place."
She says we are yet to see how this will affect larger players, but predicts organisations will fall into one of two categories. "Firstly, those that embrace the legislation and see it as a matter of compliance within all the business structures. Secondly, those that will wait to see how effective the prosecution is before really acting on the requirements."
Delegates attending Vermaak's talk will gain an understanding of what constitutes cyber crimes, and will learn how the Cyber Crimes Bill will affect business processes outside of IT. She will outline a pragmatic approach to implementing this in local businesses.

If anyone can be dubbed "dean of California artists," Wayne Thiebaud can. Still making art as he approaches his mid-90s, Thiebaud continues to innovate and modulate within his readily recognizable style. If we define "style" as the intersection of technique and sensibility, we can marvel at Thiebaud's consistency over the past half-century or more. Yet for all that, he has never been entrapped by mere method.
A foolish consistency, wrote Emerson, is the hobgoblin of little minds. Thiebaud's is anything but foolish. The earmarks of his practice–the rich brushwork, the luminous palette, the succinct but sensuous form–and imagery–the oddly intense elucidation of banal objects or fantastical landscapes–characterize his work from 1958 as readily as they do his work from 2013. Thiebaud's art has thus been easy to brand; but his ability to wrest endless variations, most of them unpredictable, from his signature approach means his art has not been easy to pigeonhole.
Thiebaud's inclusion in several early-'60s museum shows of "common object" art made perfect sense at the time. As the nature and meaning of Pop Art were sorted out, it seemed defined by its then-radical subject matter. But, while influenced by Johns and Rauschenberg, Thiebaud's grasp of the everyday was less ironic or hermetic, and his technical treatment of it more traditional in its naturalism and its rich painterliness. Thiebaud didn't paint objects as they appear on billboards; he painted objects–including billboards–as they appeared in real life. "True" Pop Art, an art of signs, comprised shapes and notations a la cubism (especially the "colonial cubism" of Stuart Davis). Thiebaud's common-object realism came more or less directly out of Edward Hopper's American-Scene naturalism, as filtered through (or, more accurately, enhanced by) the Bay Area Figuration of Richard Diebenkorn and David Park.
Thiebaud's artistic background, however, was rooted in the "popular arts," rather more so than those of most of his Pop compeers. Before attending college, he worked for a decade as a cartoonist and designer (and served during the War in the Army's First Motion Picture Unit). Earlier still, as a Long Beach teen, he'd worked for a summer at the Walt Disney Studios. "I had that kind of apprenticeship," Thiebaud told John Seed in a recent Huffington Post interview, "where you are supposed to just work and you are obliged to not ignoble those traditions, the great traditions of design and typography and the decorative arts, the ideas of design and drawing."
To be sure, Thiebaud's interest in stacks of pies and rows of cakes and beach umbrellas and people in swimwear and the like testifies to a fascination not just with the everyday, but with today's everyday, with the transient markers of contemporary society. On one level, the only thing that prevents him from painting Campbell's soup cans is the label. It's doubtless an aesthetic decision that steers Thiebaud away from that kind of specificity rather than any fear of copyright infringement (his summer at Disney notwithstanding), but it's also a decision to regard his historical moment as embodied in people and customs, as art always has, rather than in logos and languages. Where Andy Warhol was cool and ironic, Cathleen McGuigan noted in her 2011 Smithsonian Magazine article, Thiebaud is "warm and gently comic, playing on a collective nostalgia just this side of sentimentality." He also clearly feels a responsibility to the traditions of art history, wanting to maintain the still life practice of the Spanish and Dutch Baroque, of Chardin and Morandi. Pop Art deals with stuff; Thiebaud deals with things.
He also deals with places. Although he put himself on the map with his still life subjects, Thiebaud may endure in art history with his land- and cityscapes. Indeed, he has covered a far vaster terrain, literally and figuratively, in his renditions of urban spaces and rural terrain than he has in his beach and bakery spreads. It's in these depictions of towns and mountains–and, notably, towns apparently clinging to the sides and tops of mountains–where Thiebaud has let his imagination and wit really go to town. The sense of droll exaggeration wafting from row upon row of baked goods unleashes itself like a happy hurricane on his vistas, imagining hills like hats or fingers or, yes, upended loaves of bread, or remodeling tidewater ponds and surrounding farmland into improbably decorous symmetries, or wreaking crazily vertiginous improvisations on a theme of San Francisco.
For all the gale force with which Thiebaud refashions the land, he bathes it in brilliant, lambent light. He is, among other things, a painter of light and its dramatic, ineffable qualities. McGuigan quotes him as wondering, "'What kinds of varying light can you have in one painting?… Direct glaring light, then fugitive light, then green glow…" The biographical reason for this is obvious: having lived in various parts of California pretty much his whole life, Thiebaud has basked in a fantastical array of natural light and traversed a similar variety of topographies, all of which can be identified as peculiar to his home state.
In fact, in both its subject matter and its visual treatment of that subject matter, Thiebaud's entire oeuvre is as rooted in California as is that of Diebenkorn, Steinbeck, or the Beach Boys. It can even be averred that his style has incorporated (and often anticipated and even influenced) various artistic tendencies local to California–for instance, plein-air landscape painting, or gestural abstraction, or photorealism, or even Funk and Light and Space. His vision, one could argue, is singular in great part because it is so hybridized, because it so readily and naturally synthesizes and displays all these parallel, but not usually intersecting, directions.
Whatever his influences and his influence, Thiebaud is a–perhaps the–quintessential California artist. He makes pictures of California and makes them like a Californian, with a natural craft and almost self-indulgent grace driven by a deep-rooted and restless intellect, all dedicated to addressing matters of perception, of how we see the world. From this position he had the insight early on to look at traditional subjects with a Popped eye, wanting to ennoble vernacular subjects with virtuosic rendering, and then later to reverse that formula, to skew landscape subjects that require virtuosity with a strangely vernacularized and surrealized approach.
It was logical, then, to select Wayne Thiebaud as the designer of the California Arts license plate, palm trees, ocean sunset and all. It is also fitting that he be honored time and again with museum shows, such as the 2010-2011 retrospective at Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum and the new survey of his work on paper at Pepperdine University's Frederick R. Weisman Museum in Malibu (opening January 11). This past October, the Laguna Art Museum–which hosted its own Thiebaud survey in 2007 and will host another this spring–gave him the California Art Award. He in turn gave Laguna six of his prints, as well as the 2002 painting Jolly Cones.
And he continues to ring changes on his own m.o., as seen in his recent exhibition at his late son's San Francisco gallery of "Memory Mountains," paintings done from recall of one of his favorite subjects. The peaks and cliffs in these paintings may bear some resemblance to Thiebaud's previous hills, but their lopped, sheared sides and the unlikely cities balanced precariously on their crowns are new, weird, very funny variations on familiar themes. As with California itself, nothing in Wayne Thiebaud's art is more consistent than change.

Jake Oresick '06 publishes his first book about his high school in Pittsburgh
By Julie Hullett '18
Jake Oresick '06 has always enjoyed writing. He remembers what George Bilgere, Ph.D., an English professor at John Carroll, suggested he do in life. On the back of one of Oresick's assignments, Bilgere wrote, "My advice: Become a writer. I never say that, but I don't think you have a choice." Oresick was thrilled yet terrified. It was the best compliment he had ever received, but becoming a writer felt burdensome.
Recently, Oresick, who wrote for The Carroll News, realized his dream of being a published author. His first book, "The Schenley Experiment: A Social History of Pittsburgh's First Public High School," was published in April. "The Schenley Experiment" tells the history of Schenley High School, but the book also serves as a call to action about the inequity in public education, especially among minorities and the poor.
The school's history, especially its controversial closing, is important to Oresick, who graduated from Schenley in 2001. In 2008, the superintendent of Pittsburgh Public Schools, Mark Roosevelt, took control of the district. Roosevelt decided to close Schenley because of the expensive renovations needed to remove asbestos from the building. He also planned to separate Schenley students into an honors track and a mainstream track, which caused a racial divide among the students. Most white students were on the honors track, while most black students were on the mainstream track. Many local citizens believed there was a conspiracy within the school system. Oresick, who served on Student Union while at JCU, wanted to analyze the disputed history of his beloved high school.
Research and publishing
Originally, Oresick researched Schenley's history on his own. He planned to write about his findings, self-publish, and share 100 copies of his book with family and friends. However, when he couldn't easily find answers to some of his questions, he began to search more thoroughly.
"That was my original purpose, but it changed and evolved," he says.
Oresick, who wrestled while attending JCU, emailed several former teachers and conducted six interviews to help satisfy his curiosity. He connected with the interviewees and enjoyed their conversations. He now had a new outlook on his project. He learned the school wasn't great because it was 100 years old or because it was the first high school to cost more than $1 million to build in Pittsburgh; rather, it was the people who made it great.
"I wanted to hear more people's stories," he says. "I completely changed my outlook and made it a social history."
Oresick cites Sheila McGinn, Ph.D., the chair of the theology and religious studies department, who helped him to develop strong research skills. McGinn explained to him that when studying history, one must examine political, racial, and social aspects of the time.
Oresick's book is based on information gathered from interviews he conducted. He interviewed more than 100 people from Schenley, including former students, teachers, and administrators. He also interviewed people of various ethnicities, which is reflective of the diverse student body. At times, the interviewing process was strenuous and time consuming.
"It took on a life of its own," he says. "In the summer of 2014, there were weeks when every night, Monday through Thursday, I received a call. They were almost like little dates. But I left all of the interviewees feeling great."
Keeping organized proved to be difficult. Oresick had a collection of recordings, notes from interviews, and spreadsheets full of information. At times, it was overwhelming. As he arranged the chapters, he addressed three or four topics in each one. Each chapter also covers social and demographic changes within each decade.
Oresick's father, Peter Oresick, has authored and edited 10 poetry books, so, with his experience, he guided his son's application process to publishing companies. Peter Oresick, who also spent part of his career working at the University of Pittsburgh Press, encouraged his son to apply there, as well as to Penn State University Press and University of Pennsylvania Press. Penn State showed interest in the book in August 2015, then scholars read the book and approved it in February 2016. Finally, 12 faculty members from Penn State approved the book, and Oresick signed a contract with Penn State University Press.
Once Oresick secured a contract, the book underwent three major rounds of revisions. Oresick's editor, Kathryn Yahner, was concerned about the racial and political aspects of the book because the author is white and the school was mostly black when it closed. Oresick had to choose his words carefully to avoid sounding insensitive. After attending a diverse high school, Oresick, who was involved in service-learning at Carroll, thought he understood everything about empathy and how to engage with people who had different backgrounds. JCU taught him to keep an open mind to help him learn more. The University encouraged him to have empathy for everyone and take action to improve the lives of others.
Oresick was hesitant to make significant changes to the book at the beginning of the editing process but was grateful later for his editor's assistance.
"When the editing process started, I was defensive because I thought I knew what I was doing," he says. "But pretty soon, I realized my editor was good at her job, and the edits she suggested made the book better. For any writer, editors serve an important function."
After about seven months of editing, "The Schenley Experiment" was complete. It's available for purchase from Penn State University Press, Amazon.com, and Barnes and Noble.
Oresick credits much of his success to his father, who died last year. Oresick's father encouraged him to apply to an academic publisher, supported his love of writing, and shared advice with his son.
"My father pushed me and believed in me when I didn't believe in myself," he says. "He taught me how to write a pitch letter and all these things I never would've known otherwise." JCU

I've been following it for about a month. MF stats show it with a BV of 13.50. Can that be correct when the price < 4.00 at this moment?Possible going private at 8.80 when the price was around 6. What about now with the price < 4.00?Looks like a sleeper, but is there something going on that we don't know about?

Guided bloch long-range surface plasmon polaritons
Presented at the 19th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, ICTON 2017 (July 2017), Girona, Catalonia
A few years ago, Konopsky showed that a one dimensional photonic crystal structure can be used on one side of a thin metal layer to mimic the optical properties of the material on the other side. Inspired by this approach and motivated by using LRSPP waveguides for biosensing, we propose and realized a thin metal stripe on a truncated SiO2/Ta2O5 multilayer stack to support a fully guided LRSPPs. These results further the attraction of metal stripe waveguides and LRSPPs for biosensing applications and more in general for LRSPP integrated optics.

NKU men's basketball team projected to finish in upper part of A-Sun Conference
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
NKU men's basketball team is projected to finish fourth in the Atlantic Sun Conference, in the team's second season in Division I, this season by USA Today.
Last year the Norse finished with a tie for fifth in the A-Sun. This season they are scheduled to play three big teams outside of the conference, Purdue, University of North Carolina and the University of Kentucky.
What do you, the students, alumni and staff of NKU, think about this projection USA Today gave the team? How do you think NKU will perform this season? What do you think their biggest or hardest game will be?
