Over the last few weeks I've been working on my office and making some good improvements to my workspace. I'm 95% to where I want to be, and I figured this is as good a time as any to do a "what's on my desk" post. I've done posts like this before, and want to do them more regularly – so keep an eye out! I'll do a short Summer 2018 series for my desk, my travel bag, and my recording setup.
My Current Desk
My current desk is a Fully Jarvis Standing Desk and I love it. The full specs are:
- 60 x 30″ Rectangle Top
- Wire Management Grommets with 1 Powered Grommet
- Silver Frame
- Mid Range Height
- Programmable Handset (the preset heights are totally worth it)
- Standing Mat
- Gray Cable Trays
Everything on the Desk
So I numbered everything left-to-right (mostly). Here's everything in the order they're numbered:
- Gator Cases 4 Space Studio Rack: The latest addition to the office, now all of my audio equipment is organized, on it's own power supply, and wires are properly managed/hidden
- Disney World Photo Frame: Got this on our latest trip. A photo of my daughter meeting BB-8 will go in it.
- Minimalist Empire Strikes Back Framed Poster: My brother Mikey got this for me for Christmas and it's probably my favorite piece of wall art.
- ART VoiceChannel: My preamp for recording. This will get mentioned in the podcast post too, but it's so integral to my work because I can tweak the audio just right, filter out noise, and more. Saves me from needing a full studio (for my needs).
- Audio-Technica ART-M50X Headphones: These studio monitors are great. They're my go-to headphones for playing back recorded audio, or just listening to music sometimes.
- Airpods: These earbuds were a serious dark horse for me that now I can't do without. I'll use them when I get over-the-ear headphone fatigue, or if I'm going to be on the phone a lot.
- Gather by Ugmonk: I backed this on Kickstarter last year and it finally came in over the weekend; it was the impetus for me organizing my desk and it looks so good. Jeff over at Ugmonk did a really stellar job designing this.
- Jedi Ghost/Haunted Mansion Mug: My favorite movie and my favorite Disney World ride, brought together on one sweet sweet mug. Thanks to my brother Robby for this one.
- 13″ Macbook Pro: I downgraded from my 15″ super-powered Macbook Pro I bought last summer to something more portable. I definitely notice the reduction in power, but really appreciate how much more desk space I have, and how much lighter my travel bag is.
- Nikon D3300 + Joby Gorillapod: Something else I did over the weekend, after getting the idea from my friend Brian, was convert my DSLR to my webcam. I picked up the gorillapod (which looks so awesome) and connected my Nikon to my computer. Unfortunately it wasn't meant to be and this camera won't do that, so I'm selling it. More on that later.
- Hobnichi Techo: I love notebooks, and I'm a big fan of this small daily planner. Each morning I make a timeline of my day, as well as the 3 tasks I want to accomplish that day.
- Bullet Journal: Right under the Techo is my Bullet Journal, which I'll use to plan months and weeks, jot down long form ideas, plan out proposals, and more.
- Panobook: The last notebook in my daily use rotation is the Panobook by Studio Neat. The horizontal orientation is great for storyboarding videos, creating sections for meeting notes, and lots more. There's a ton of really nice details in the notebook. I will definitely be ordering more.
- Logitech K780 Bluetooth Keyboard: I was on the fence about this keyboard, and actually used Apple's for a while. But when I got my PC, I wanted one keyboard for both machines and this is perfect. It pairs with up to 3 devices (iPad is the 3rd one for me) and works seamlessly. Plus, I love having a number pad.
- Magic Mouse: This came recommended as a must have by a few friends, and it's the mouse I use with my Mac. The gestures are fantastic and the form factor is quite comfortable.
- Red Swingline: natch
- BenQ 32″ Designer Monitor: When I went to a dual computer setup, along with a single keyboard, I wanted a single monitor. This one has several outputs and allows me to easily switch between my Mac and my PC. It is a little slow switching sometimes, which is a bother. It also has a built-in KVM switch (which I'm not currently using).
- Auralex DeskMax Sound Panels: These bad boys provide a little extra soundproofing/dampening, and prevent echo off the wall that's very close to my desk.
- Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920: My current webcam. It's fine, but after seeing how great Brian looked with his DSLR, I have a bit of webcam envy.
- Calculator
- Mickey Mouse Paper Weight: This was a gift from my dad. I don't have a lot of papers, but I like the way it looks.
- Logitech Performance MX: The mouse I use with my PC. Unfortunately I haven't come across a good solution for sharing one mouse with 2 machines (understandably so). That said, I haven't looked that hard either.
- Rode Procaster: My Dynamic XLR mic. I love this thing. It sounds so good!
- Boom Arm: To keep the mic off my desk and out of my face.
- Photo of My Daughter
- Klipsch Speakers: These speakers have served me well since high school – 15 years and 10 different living spaces. Dang.
- Alienware PC
Not Numbered
- Mophie Wireless Charger: I mean, I basically bought the iPhone X for wireless charging.
- Daily Journal: I'm trying to jot a few thoughts down every day.
- My backup drives: Western Digital 4TB and 8TB. One is for time machine backups, and one is for storing the gigantic files video editing creates.
- Writing Implements: 1 Kaweco AL Sport fountain pen, 1 Disney Retro 51, 1 Blackwing 54 pencil, 1 red Sharpie pen
- Bose QuietComfort 35: These noise cancelling headphones are my usuals, as long as I'm not recording. They really help me focus, especially with a toddler in the house.
There are still a couple of improvements I'd like to make. Most notably, My Klipsch speakers are 15 years old at this point, and I'm ready to upgrade in a big way. I have my sights set on the KRK 6 Studio Monitors and Subwoofer. They were recommended by my friend Shawn and while they are probably overkill for my needs, they are sure to sound fantastic (as well as clear off some space at the back of my desk).
Also, sadly after hours of trying to make it work, my Nikon D3300 cannot serve as a live-streaming webcam. So I'm selling it with its 2 lenses and using the money to buy a Canon EOS Rebel T6i, which I understand will do what I need it to do. I've kinda wanted to switch back to Canon for a while anyway. Nothing against Nikon – it takes great photos. But I want a camera that does photos and video well. I'll even take a small hit on photos to accomplish it.
What's on Your Desk?
This is always of great interest to me! If you happen to like your desk, feel free to link to a photo in the comments! Oh, and as promised, here's the unnumbered photo, so you can get a good look at mine:

The introduction to this week's newsletter...
This week we are sharing with you an exclusive round-up of one of the biggest challenges we face in modern healthcare: antimicrobial resistance. Are we really on the cusp of a post-antibiotic era? How did it get to this stage? What should dentists be doing to help? To find out, you can read our full review here.
And in the news this week…
Today (1st April) marks the first of the NHS dental treatment price hikes in England and inevitability, with it has come a host of concerns from the profession.
Primarily is the concern that the fees will discourage the patients most in need of care from visiting the dentist.
And that's not the only legislation dentists feel are preventing the most vulnerable patients getting the care they need. The latest survey from the BDA, 10 years on from the introduction of the NHS general dental services contract, has revealed that a whopping 93% of dentists find that chasing government activity targets limits their ability to care for high-needs patients who require complex or repeat treatment.
While almost 70% said that the current contract prevents them from taking on new patients.
Predictable results? Maybe. But will the government take note of the latest evidence against their activity-driven targets?
The government are currently trialling two new approaches, but seem fixed on activity targets. Let's hope we don't face another "lost decade" in dentistry…
What do you think? Will the 5% dental price hikes deter patients? Will the government take on board the latest evidence against the current contract? Where should the new dentistry targets be directed?

I've been a parent for 6 years now.
For the most part my husband and I have been in agreement up to this point, when it comes to all things parenting. Our natural instincts when it comes to the best way to raise our children are pretty similar. At least they have been up till now.
Now that Rhys is getting older I'm realising that there is so much I don't know, so many questions that I don't have answers for. I have a feeling there will be plenty of nights spent up talking together about how best to handle different situations, about what to tell our children about how to handle different situations.
For now our big debate is to do with playground pushing and shoving. We've talked a lot recently about whether we should teach our children to fight back or to walk away.
My gut reaction is to tell my son to walk away.
If someone pushes or hits him, or does something he doesn't like, then he is to tell them to stop. If that doesn't work he should walk away and find a teacher and tell them what has happened.
My husband, on the other hand, feels that we should tell him to push back, or hit back.
The thing is, we're coming at this from two different perspectives, and two different experiences growing up.
I was lucky in that I was never bullied when I was younger. And I never really got in trouble. See, part of my concern is that if Rhys hits back he will end up getting in trouble at school. More often than not teachers will see the child who hits back, rather than the child who hits first.
I don't want him getting in trouble at school for something he didn't start. I would prefer him to walk away from the situation.
My husband on the other hand has experienced being picked on.
For a long time he walked away. He told grown ups. And nothing changed. Until the day he finally snapped, and hit back.
After that it stopped. And it of course makes you wonder, could he have avoided all those months of feeling miserable if he'd just hit back sooner?
The thing for me is, there doesn't seem to be a clear cut answer to any of this. There are so many variables, so many different situations that I'm not sure exactly what to teach Rhys. He is only 6 and I'm not sure he has the skills yet to make a good judgement call on when it's ok to hit back.
I asked a few other bloggers for their thoughts on this and got some really interesting answers.
"Me and my hubby feel just the same. I say walk away and speak with someone about it. My hubby says stand up for yourself. Which my son did once at school after being bullied and he was the one in trouble with the head teacher"
Sarah from Champagne and Petals
"I'm really torn. As a teacher, I know I should be teaching them to walk away and that's the best thing to do In most situations but my gut instinct sometimes is to fight back (I'm a mouthy cow at times!), or come back with a really sarky, smart arse put down!"
Rachel from Coffee, Cake, Kids
"Its a tough one. Having a boy who has been through (lengthy) bullying with next to no action from the school I would say this; I want my younger 2 children to have the maturity and the resolve to be able to walk away where possible and also the right hook to teach the bully never to push it too far. Their self esteem is going to be harder to find than a new school."
Natasha from Mummy and Moose
"It's so hard – I think it's entirely dependant on the situation, but I would say walk away. There is more strength in rising above than there is in violence, and always speak to someone – don't just let it go, tell someone every single time."
Emily from Babies and Beauty
"I think we should be teaching children to sort out their disagreements using something other than violence – sometimes it does need an adult to model how at first. I used to have quite a few aggressive boys in my Reception class so we made a 'thinking station' where they could go to sort out their problems – the focus was on taking turns talking and explaining how they felt, how the other person had made them feel etc and sorting out how they could make it better and solve the problem. I had loads of resources to help such as images of different emotions, recordable microphones for taking turns speaking and little 'feeling slips' where they could write down what happened and how it made them feel. It worked really well – I had to model how to use it and help them take turns in the first few weeks but after that the violent episodes were almost non existent. I think we need to teach children to behave how we expect others to behave and treat them as we expect to be treated"
Sarah from Arthurwears
"Oh we are having this problem at the moment. My son is doing the right thing and telling the teacher but I'm afraid I am with your husband on this one and think he should stand up for himself. Even my older son said if they are trying to annoy you and you tell them it upsets you (as per school process) they will just keep on doing. I hate that I even think this but I fear if he doesn't it will carry on and get worse"
Louise from A strong coffee to go
It's clearly a subject that people have mixed feelings about, and it seems to make a lot of people feel like bad parents for teaching their children to hit if necessary. Naomi from Tattooed Mummy has these conflicting thoughts, saying "I always taught dd to give 3 clear warnings, then punch hard and fast" but that doing so makes her feel like a terrible mum. From her own personal experience though, walking away doesn't always put a stop to things.
I've spent quite a bit of time reading threads in various parenting forums about this issue, trying to gauge what the general consensus is.
And I'm still no closer to an answer.
There are really valid arguments for both approaches. The thing that I noticed though is that it seemed that everyone who has either experienced their child being bullied or who has been bullied themselves felt that fighting back was, ultimately, the answer.
I suppose it's very easy to say just walk away and tell a teacher when you've never experienced the situation yourself.
I'm not a fighter by nature. I don't like confrontation and I believe that love is stronger than hate. I want my children to use their words rather than their fists to resolve conflict.
But I'm very aware that this just isn't always realistic. The school playground is a very unique place, where children are learning about social rules, and trying to find their place in the world. I just know that I don't want my son to be a victim. I want him to be strong in who he is, to stand up for himself and what he thinks is right.
For now I think what I will tell my son is this.
If someone pushes you or hits you, you tell them to stop and you tell a teacher. If it keeps on happening though, and he seems to be becoming a target, then I will tell him to defend himself, to stand strong and fight back.
What do you think about this? Do you tell your children to walk away or to fight back?

Total Solar Eclipse
Thank goodness for my full-time job! Since my small business is my side gig, I don't frequently get to say those words, but this past weekend, I was so so thankful for my job. We have an office in Charleston and when I realized the city was going to be in full totality of the solar eclipse yesterday, I got way too excited. I talked to coworkers and snagged a place to crash.
I headed down on Saturday morning and got to try some places that I didn't visit last year when I went. I spent the first morning driving down and wandering the Farmers Market downtown.
I shopped and browsed (in the crazy humidity) until The Gin Joint opened.
I tried to go last year, but the hurricane prevented me from wandering down that far into East Bay. Thank goodness I got there right when they opened too! It filled up.
My first drink was Peaches & Cream. It was heavenly. I sat next to a lovely couple from Northern Virginia and bided my time dill dinner that night with one of my coworkers on Sullivan's Island. We ate at The Obstinate Daughter where I had an awesome pizza.
The next day I headed to the beach nice and early. We had some low stormy skies so it was a little less humid than the day before.
I began working on some sand lettering in prep for the eclipse the next day.
I also had plenty of time to read and relax, this was a much needed day off for me.
After rinsing off and resting, I went to a local brewery called Low Tide at the suggestion of one of my coworkers. They had a sour beer that was to die for. They did something interesting to make it sour. This is the explanation from their website, "Instead of using salt for this gose we used naturally grown salicornia- aka "sea pickles" or "sea beans" found in the surrounding marshlands." Sounds so strange, right?! Well worth the trip to John's Island. The next day, I prepped for the eclipse with my two friends. We lucked out and got an amazing parking spot right by the boardwalk onto Sullivan's Island. We packed sandwiches and headed to the sand. It was a little overcast but the last twenty minutes before totality the skies broke for us to see the sun! I was so joyful. When it went dark, it was crazy. A storm had been in the distance, and we could so clearly see the lightning and hear the thunder in the darkness. The lighthouse turned on in the middle of the day and the wind picked up like crazy. One of my favorite parts was looking down. The sun was like early morning, but there were no long shadows. If you had a shadow it was directly under you. We even saw the little diamond glitter as the last bit of light dipped behind the moon. The day before, I had used that driftwood to make myself a makeshift shade. Now it was fully encompassed in shadow. Everyone erupted in cheers and hoots as the sky parted and sun disappeared. It was a really magical moment and I count myself blessed to have been in full totality in such an awesome city! Also, if you haven't picked these up yet, you can still get them before the disappear:
The post office sells amazing heat activated stolar eclipse stamps! So cool– especially for nerdy stationery folks.

9 simple ways to Nourish your Relationship
1. Listen
When you intend to listen and not reply, you dilute many Conflicts that may arise between You and Your partner.
2. Appreciate
What you don't appreciate, depreciate in your life. Appreciate what you have and do express it often with each other and nourish what is not so good.
3. Handwritten Notes
They are the personal touches in today's highly virtual world. Make time to write on a paper your feelings for your partner and hand over.
4. Compliment each other
You are not here to compete with each other but to Compliment and Complete each other.
5. Gratitude
Being grateful not only enhances Quality of your Well Being and life but also of your Partner.
6. Be Present
Visiting the past or future stops you in the present. By not being in now you ruin not only who you are but also your relationship. Learn to enjoy where you are & who you are with in this moment.
7. Surprise
Develop a habit to surprise Self and people around you. Either it is with your Kindness or care for self & others.
8. Take Responsibility
Remember all that ever happen to you good or bad, positive or negative, You are 100% responsible for it. Live with this awareness
9. Respond- don't react
Remember it takes a second to destroy
anything but building the same may take years. Always calm down in unfortunate situation as it helps you to recalibrate your thinking & attitude to handle things constructively.
Wish You fulfilling Relationship

*Please note that ANY donation amount is greatly appreciated. $5 or $10 is actually a good amount of money to almost 8 year olds. If you have given more, or do give more, that is going above and beyond. Thank you all so much!
We are 7.8 year old twin girls who are triathletes. We want to travel to Boulder, Colorado to compete in the Ironkids race. Our race will be a 50 yard swim, a 2 mile bike and 500 yard run. We have been training very hard and are ready to be IronKids! We want trophies, but we will also be happy to place in the top ten and earn a spot in the national Ironkids competition.
The Why
We love living in an active town, and are by nature active kids. We started swimming when we were 5 months old, we could run by age 10 months, and we have been mountian biking since age 5. The dirt jump parks and bump tracks are some of our favorite places to play. We are natural triathletes, and want to further ourselves in the sport this summer. We are currently in the 8 and under age group, which is the junior level, a great time to compete in Ironkids. Next year things get a bit more serious, the length of the race very long, and we want to have this experience while we are still in the junior division.
Your story, your background
We started competing in the sport of triathlon at age 6, after finishing a week long TriKids 123 camp in our home town of Park City. We won our age group and realized we were pretty good at what we were doing. We have done two triathlons this summer, and once again won our age group. We have run two 5k races and a few other fun runs locally. We ride our bikes and swim many times each week. We are serious about our trianing, but also like to have fun! Unfortunantly, when your sport is a combination of three sports, there is a lot of gear involved. Being twins, we need some help with not only a little bit of gear, but travel expenses for our trip to Boulder.
What you need
We need new sneakers with Yankz ($50 to $75 each) = $150
Swimsuit $40
Another bike rack $150
Travel expenses = $450 to $550 (subsidized by our parents)
Food and Fuel = unlimited (we never stop eating)
Race Registration $110 was paid by our grandma
We work hard, and give everything we do 100 percent effort!
My Team
My mom is our coach and our dad and little sister our our best fans!

|Lake swim success today! Delaney took off like she was in a pool. Brynn didn't take a liking to the muddy water, but will do fine. We are thinking about trying out our running legs tomorrow evening at the NewPark 1.25 mile run. The rest of the week will bring some biking and sprints, and maybe some practice with transitions (the most difficult part to practice). We are almost ready to buy a bike rack, and Delaney's suit!:) Thanks to our boosters.
|Brynn and Delaney
|Brynn and Delaney had a productive day today. They ran their 5K, played at the kids fair, and swam for few hours. Tomorrow we will be up bright and early for a trip to a state park for a nice long bike ride and some lake swimming! Thanks to our boosters, this afternoon, Brynn and Delaney purchased sneakers for the Ironkids Tri, and now just need to order some Yankz for laces. We are making good progress!

That didn't take long. How many intelligent personal assistants are there in the world? Which ones get used the most? Which ones are the smartest? Mike Elgan takes a peak at the trend and has a winner.
The future of the virtual assistant is not where Apple dominates (on mobile phones) or where Amazon does (on home appliances). The space will be characterized by total ubiquity, which means wearables, all electronic devices, many IoT devices and embedded into all the places where humans spend time (offices, cars and homes).
Ubiquity for a single virtual assistant?
My newest prediction is that Google will win it all, becoming as dominant in virtual-assistant usage in the coming years as Facebook is dominant today in social, or as Apple in smartphone profits.
There's just one problem with that prediction. Nobody ever wins it all.

It meant the end of the line for Hart at UW after 21 years, a tenure that started under Don James and continued under Jim Lambright (for whom he was defensive coordinator for four years), Rick Neuheisel, Keith Gilbertson and Tyrone Willingham. "I had a great run," he said, "I can't be upset about it. I wish I was there, but I'm not. Life goes on. The University has been great to me and there is no animosity whatever." And when Hart says life goes on, it's a life he says will include coaching. There had been reports that he might be considering retiring, but he said that has never entered his mind. He's 60 years old, an age when he could retire, but says he definitely wants to keep coaching. He said he is in the process now of trying to get his name out there for openings, but said it's more realistic he'll find something after the bowl season ends and more jobs come open. Comments

How to Find TimberTechBuildings
TimberTech's composite material is created from many different cellulose materials and polythene. You don't need to stick with one kind of product or one look for the whole deck. These products are made to resist fading. At the exact same time, companies which get sued over a defect will likely have spent plenty of time making certain that problem doesn't reoccur.
The options are endless. Another case stems from a scarcity of antioxidants. Unexpected problems are part of the package that comes when you attempt to sell an ever-evolving item. A good deal of them is going to be stumped. You wish to deliver a consistently large excellent product every moment, Ashraf explained. Imagine a lovely backyard oasis that resembles new year in, year out.
About 150 feet later, you'll have a wood-composite board and the start of a deck. Your deck will appear better and you will prevent the frustration of attempting to splice the decking over joists. TimberTech decks have the appearance and feel of genuine wood with the extra strength of composite materials. If your deck is more than a few feet off the ground, you might want to wrap the posts in PVC to coordinate with the remaining portion of the deck. It is not the wooden deck on your home. Stair railings are among the trickiest sections of any deck undertaking. As you choose the railing for your deck, consider all the DECKLITE options accessible to help create your individual oasis.
Start designing your deck by click on this link! It's slightly more expensive but it's built a great deal quicker, Prystay explained. Though based on Eurocodes, it's already used in Australia. It's complete prefabrication. Complete the expression of your deck with post caps.
Using TimberTech Buildings
Railing options are restricted to wood, and you may add only 1 style of door or window. There are several composite deck choices out there. Sometimes the usage of remedial treatments are unavoidable, but, where possible we'll use environmental measures and superior building practice in the very first case. You will also require different tools for deck building.
Today's agricultural building systems have to be designed to present the maximum quantity of production capable per square foot of building price. These structures have existed for decades, and lots of property owners still prefer them for an assortment of uses and reasons. Deck Building Deck building is just one of our specialties. Building or repairing a deck is a remarkable way to enhance the value of your house whilst offering a terrific outdoor location for family entertaining and enjoyable.
Many research projects are developed, the majority of them directly funded by Industrial partners. Several of the programs are extremely similar, so I picked out a couple of representative examples to supply a summary of what these absolutely free programs canand can'tdo. Despite the fact that these programs aren't really meant for skilled deck builders, they offer you a mixed bag of helpful capabilities. Several of the programs I tried out are template-based, presumably to be able to speed up and simplify the plan practice. While the programs on different websites are based on an identical platform and work the identical way, there are a few differences among them.
The Fundamentals of TimberTech Buildings Revealed
TimberTech delivers the most extensive and versatile assortment of alternatives on the industry today so whether you will need railing for a new deck or merely seeking to add railing to your present deck, call Pioneer.

Such secrecy is rather common among decking manufacturers. Damp and timber tech aren't contractors. Even after making those checks, experts concur that the only real approach to be certain of a product's quality is to install a good deal of it in lots of places and see what the results are. Simpson Strongtie has a selection of dedicated software tools that enable users to select their connectors. Fiberon, The Decking Solutions Company, is devoted to offering the greatest and widest collection of merchandise in the organization. Another levelup to three steps above or beneath the very first levelcan be added, and a few versions offer you a third level. A tasteful and additionally beautiful property could be the perfect method to entertain your private company, that Concrete Patio Railing photo collection will give a lot of an illustration of a few of those houses.

This needs a prologue. My trip to China was an absolute mind bending experience. I kept a diary at the time, that was already a habit. Later I sent it to one of my co-travelers so that he could use it to help identify and label his photographs. The diary never came back. I saw the fellow at a reunion and he assured me that it had been sent. So I'm left now to look at my pictures and search my memory to record the trip. I can't recreate it.
Prologue After the trip to Portugal, I made some small effort to keep in touch with Nancy Bishop who had organized the trip. At one point I called her to try to arrange lunch. "Oh no," she replied, "I'm so busy I can't make lunch. Would you like to go to China instead?" Well, there was no decision. It had been mentioned in Portugal as a far-off dream. This was real and money and time or no, I was going. My deposit went off that afternoon. The group was a Wellesley event again; despite the school ties to Mme. Chiang Kai-Shek, we were among the early tourist groups to get in.
November 24 and 25.1979 Friday after Thanksgiving. Flew off via Pan Am from Kennedy to San Francisco to Hong Kong. Checking in at San Francisco, they even asked my weight. About five people were bumped from the flight due to weight restrictions. (Not individual, but for the plane!) The trans-Pacific trip was a stretch for standard 747s. Endless flying. Read several of the books I'd brought along with the result that I was stuck for the next three weeks with only one book to carry me through -- Far Pavilions which I loathed. Lesson learned. Somewhere along the flight I ate some shrimp cocktail. More on that later. Finally arrived in Hong Kong late in the evening and bussed to our standard hotel on the Hong Kong side. I wonder now if the harbor tunnel was open. We certainly didn't ferry.
November 25 Spent the day on the usual Hong Kong city tour. We went up the Peak and I was stunned by the view -- right out of a James Bond movie -- and the resemblance to New York. Crystal clear day. We bussed out to Repulse Bay and walked on the beach. I was stunned by how filthy the beach was. Littered with McDonald's wrappers. But I waded in the water anyway. The hotel was closed by then and in line to be demolished. One of the ladies on the trip had been married in the Repulse Bay hotel sometime in the 20s. She'd gone out to China to teach English and had met an American diplomat there who she married. In Peking she was able to track down and get together with some of her Chinese teaching friends and colleagues. All fifty years and more ago. In the evening we bussed back to have dinner at one of the floating restaurants, the Sea Palace. Simply immense and a good meal even with the tourist trap atmosphere. Back to the hotel and I felt a bit queasy on the bus. Harbinger of things to come.
November 26 During the night I went from queasy to violently ill. Losing it at both ends as they say. It got bad enough so the Elaine Taggart (my roommate and a friend from the Portugal trip) ended up getting the hotel doctor to come. We also found that someone else in the group had been attacked by a tainted something. We later came to the conclusion that it was Pan Am's shrimp. A pox on them. The doctor was Chinese, English-speaking and sympathetic. I was very sick, I must not get dehydrated, if I did I'd have to go into the hospital. Wait a minute! I've got my vacation and my life savings tied to a group visa into China leaving in the morning. Oh no. Oh yes. In the end he gave me a shot of something that was probably opium based (I say that not because it blissed me out, but it effectively stopped the intestinal system a less recreationally important effect) and a generous supply of Lomotil. I collapsed for a couple of hours sleep. Up, packed and out of the room at some ungodly hour in the morning. I went into the dining room, but breakfast was not to be thought of. Then we bussed to the train station and got on a train headed for the border. I slept as best I could. Out at Lo Wu, stand in line to check out of Hong Kong, then walk across a bridge in no man's land to check into the People's Republic of China. Another wait in a gray, cinderblock sort of room. I was drained and just concentrated on staying on my feet. Tourists were herded off to a dining room for lunch. I hoped to get down rice and tea, but couldn't. Had to use the bathroom and was appalled to be introduced to China- style plumbing, a fixture in the grubby floor and iffy water supply. We were then loaded on the train and headed off for Quangchou (Canton). Then on to a bus to the airport. A long wait at the airport and I remember sleeping again in classic airport discomfort. Flight to Peking. I slept. Then endless bus ride into the city and our hotel. To the whining dismay of some of the Wellesley contingent, we were not at the Peking Hotel -- classic colonial outpost -- but at another hotel. This too was an immense, dark and dusty pile. We got in around nine o'clock and I fell into bed. Elaine, bless her heart prowled all over the hotel and managed to get me some dry toast and tea. First and only sustenance I could manage.
November 27 No way was I going to miss anything, so even though I was wiped out, I headed out with the group on the day's excursion. Train through the countryside. Views of remnants of the Great Wall from the train windows. Barren November landscape. Abrupt hills. Shockingly primitive way of life occasionally visible: building a house with bamboo scaffolding and horse and cart to bring the bricks. Then a walk of maybe a quarter of a mile up a road to the restored and complete section of the Wall. Winding up on either side like the spines on a dragon's back. Staggering steep slopes on either side. You climb up a tower, then come out onto the top of the Wall. It really is like a wide promenade, sometimes with steps, climbing up (how can it always be up?) punctuated with guard towers every few hundred yards. No sense of orientation. I couldn't tell you for sure which was north or south or in or out. Hard to believe that it could be built. Almost possible to believe that one can see the scar of the Wall from space. Everything it should be. Once torn away, we bussed to the Ming Tombs, eating a box lunch along the way. Well the group did. It wasn't the sort of stuff I'd eat when healthy -- cold spam sandwich, hardboiled egg. The Tombs were a disappointment. Buses and fumes around. All we were able to see was the road lined with the paired animals. We had some fun riding the stone horses and so on, but whatever the big deal was supposed to be, we didn't see. Back to Peking in fading light to see the Temple of Heaven. Would have loved more time. There's a reason why you see the buildings in every Chinese restaurant in New York. Memorable chance to see the sun set into the pollution of Peking, dropping into the smog layer a goodly distance above the horizon.
November 28 Morning at Tianamen Square and the Forbidden City. The square is one of the largest, most empty spaces on earth. It's so large, that it loses the sense of unity, of wholeness. Even Red Square, huge though it is, seems like a unit. Tianamen is more like a bad case of urban renewal. No traffic allowed in the square itself, just visitors. And they were swallowed up by the emptiness. Mao's tomb (We never got there; I think it was only open on certain days.) at one end facing the wall and gate of the Forbidden City, the Great Hall of the People on the far long side. A monument of some sort in the center. Also if I remember right, a remaining and restored gate from the city walls standing behind Mao's tomb. Much later I read that most of the walls and gates had been demolished during the Cultural Revolution. Closer to the time of my trip than I ever knew at the time. We all blindly believed that that period had been one of essentially the sixties and that by the time Nixon and co. opened China in 1974 life was back to repressed normal. Little did I, at least, know. A social event of some note was Elaine's and my "defection" as it was dubbed from the Wellesley contingent to the other half of our group. We'd been paired with a group from Chicago and they turned out to be infinitely more congenial than the whiners from Wellesley. Crystal clear and cold, see your breath day. The Forbidden City was a set of nested courtyards and court buildings. Each more elaborate. Each cold and dark. No lighting or exhibition areas. Everywhere we were stared at by the khaki or blue clad Chinese. The language and other barriers too strong to cross. Stares of amazement more than curiosity. Everyone round from the layers of clothes piled on to keep warm. Always the same drab colors and shapes. Afternoon we went out to the Summer Palace where kids were ice-skating. Figures. Long walk along the garishly restored arcade then arriving at the Marble Boat. Dingy. A Kodak stand with dress-up imperial costumes. Driving around on the main streets was eerily like Moscow. Wide-open streets with few cars, masses of basic black bicycles, gray blocky building and apartments built old. Lifeless. Everyone in the group down with the Peking cold and cough. Western remedies do little. Those who try native remedies do better. I seem to be immune. Maybe dysentery kills colds. At some point we went out for Peking duck in Peking. I remember the dessert. Fruit pieces dipped in melted sugar then ice water, which crystallized the sugar. An absolute mess to eat with strands of caramel draped all over the table, but delicious.
November 29 On by plane to Hangzhou. No assigned seating on the plane. No safety announcements. Faster, steeper landings than are common on commercial flights at home. Ensconced in the hotel with a view of West Lake. A bit of exploring around the area: a temple next door and a bookstall where I bought a map of the world with China in the center. Wooden drawers and shelves behind a counter. Going back to the hotel with a Chinese kid from Chicago we were accosted as we came up the driveway by soldier with a rifle who appeared from nowhere. Was there to stop the locals from venturing near the hotel. As soon as he realized that these were tourists, he vanished back out of sight.
November 30 Exploring Hangzhou. Climbed the Pagoda of the Six Harmonies. Visited a Buddhist temple with towering gold statue. Facing hillside outside was covered with various carved Buddhas. While clambering around, I came across an artist selling works of calligraphy done on newsprint. For something like two cents, I bought one that turned out later to be illustrated characters standing for singing and dancing. And it just happened to be the one I liked. Everyone was taken with it and later the guide went back and arranged to get many others for the group. But I had mine on my own. We took a sightseeing cruise on West Lake and again the difference between our treatment and that of the Chinese visitors was striking. They were crammed into a wooden boat that looked like an oversized rowboat with an outboard. We had a typical motorboat for our tour around the islands, shrines, and vistas. Beautiful photo opportunities. Tea at an unheated teahouse in a park. One of the group, Fred Rose, borrowed a bike and took a few spins around. Evening at a performance of the opera. Unheated theater, hardwood benches, bare concrete floor on which the locals practiced their already observed habit of spitting. Lights up in the auditorium and a constant stream of unrestrained chatter in the audience. An act was all the tourists got -- or could stand.
December1 Morning visit to a tea farm. A model tea farm. The usual BI (brief introduction) and tea followed by a tour of the fields. Off-season presumably. Almost deserted. The living quarters were new some still under construction, bare and unheated, but neat. Farm work like carrying off brush for firewood or whatever is done by hand. A melt the heart visit to the local kindergarten. This had to be a regular stop for tourists for the kids were rehearsed with a song or two, but they were cute. We peeked in the dorm room where the little ones were stacked in rows on the beds for a nap. Everything spookily orderly. Very little in the way of material things around to mess up too. Also a visit to a fan factory. Again, no heat, little light. Workers in coats and hats sitting by windows assembling or painting fans by hand. Outside, groups of blue and green-coated bicyclists watching us. Later on to Suzhou by train. Always traveling between cities after dark. Everyone homesick. One of the group had a small short-wave radio and we tried hungrily throughout the trip to pull in Voice of America. When we left home, the hostages had just recently been taken at the embassy in Iran. We didn't have any idea how the world was reacting, or what the U.S. might or might not do in retaliation. No news, no radio, no newspapers once out of Hong Kong. December 2 In Suzhou, visits to all the gardens. Even in November. Startling to see nothing from the outside but a smooth whitewashed wall. Then inside, through a series of rooms and courtyards, finding extensive gardens that go on and on. Every outlook planned and contrived. Grey and chilly weather. Also a walk along the Grand Canal. Traffic included hand-poled wooden boats as well as slightly more elaborate craft. Then a visit to a silk factory. Primitive wooden looms. Most of the silk garish and patterned, probably intended for the Asian market, but some exquisite. Traffic on the many canals that cut through Suzhou primitive living conditions were also visible as you looked at the homes on the canals. December 3 More gardens. A visit to Tiger Hill, a pagoda in a park outside town. We heard what sounded a lot like artillery practice. (Even to those in the group who'd had war experience.) Oh no, somewhere nearby they're blasting for a new road. No way. A very chilling feeling. Dinner that night was one of the most delicate and divine imaginable. The restaurant was called the Pine and Crane. Upstairs over a concrete and plastic local eatery. Cold, poorly lighted room, bare floor. Round table with white tablecloths. Endless courses of subtle food presented with royal care. Appetizers laid out on platters in the shape and colors of a butterfly. Soup with a meringue duck floating in each cup. Flavors and textures that mix and match throughout the entire meal. December 4 Another garden. Enough. Street scenes full of blue jackets and caps, black bicycles, and curious faces. Women washing and drawing water on the street corner. Kids handled in Chinese style: instead of diapers, they just slit the pants from front to back. When it's time to go, the kid just squats or is held and the business is done. At a temple, Fred Rose got out his Polaroid and was indeed swamped by Chinese who'd never seen such a thing. It was like a rock star being mobbed. Train to Shanghai. December 5 Shanghai is huge and wonderful. We stayed at the Peace Hotel, another classic. Elaine and I had an enormous room at the end of an endless hallway. First an entry room, then a huge room with two beds 'way over there. A curtained alcove for the maid. A trunk room and a marble bath. All dingy and dusty to be sure, and no view, but who cares? We'd all been clamoring for an acupuncture demonstration and someone, mistaking the PhDs in our group for medical doctors, arranged a hospital tour. After the BI, we were escorted in smaller groups upstairs where we did indeed get a demonstration. We put on robes and masks and then, bring your camera please, we were taken into the operating rooms where we saw several operations underway. All using acupuncture presumably. One thyroid procedure, one hysterectomy. All the patients looking calm and not at all disturbed by this gang of ugly American tourists swarming around. (Maybe they were drugged!) I watched for a bit, but then got faint which caused a huge stir among the staff. I just went into the dressing room and sat down, but they were worried so they kept sending anxious emissaries in to me, none of whom spoke English. But I got my color back and they finally relaxed. The rest of the hospital tour was fascinating. The building was unheated, the temperature was probably in the fifties at best, the patients were in bed with their hats and coats on, the windows were wide open, and people were coming in sick and going home well. If I remember right, the hospital specialized in reconstructive surgery for burn patients. In the afternoon, Elaine and Fred and I bailed out of the group and took a boat ride up the Huang Po River. We got the boat right along the waterfront and boarding by crossing through two boats moored in close until we got to the one on the outside. All manner of boats on the river. Ocean going ships and wooden sampans. Pollution over the city was appalling, a purplish brown blanket. Evening performance by a troupe of acrobats. Stunning flexibility and balance.
December 6 Tour of the Pumpkin Lane New Workers' Residential Area. Concrete public housing. Laundry hanging everywhere on poles. Tour came complete with an exhibit of the bamboo and reed mat shacks the people lived in before the Liberation. (Russia had a revolution, Portugal had an earthquake, and China had a Liberation.) Afternoon visit to a Children's Palace. Sort of a Y. We saw kids practicing traditional musical instruments, taking ballet classes, puppeting, and singing. In spite of the knowledge that this was a routine tourist stop, it made me cry to here Jingle Bells in Chinese. Walking along the riverfront in the evenings really did introduce us to that group of privileged city dwellers who were learning English from the BBC and were willing to risk talking to tourists in the dark. Young men mostly. One conversation was with a guy from Texas (Diboll) who had a huge house to himself. Describe it. Well downstairs there's the living room (nods) then the dining room (just for eating?) then the den (what's that? Another living room.) And a kitchen and then upstairs ... They couldn't conceive that this could all be for one solitary person.
December 7 Fly to Canton. City tour left me absolutely cold and without any impression of the city whatever. As a group we did take a boat tour on the Pearl River. Flat after Shanghai. Dinner was memorable for introducing us to a new aspect of Chinese cuisine. The food throughout the tour had been pretty blah, so when we hit a tasty meat dish at dinner, we all dug in for seconds and thirds. It wasn't great, just much better than anything we'd eaten for two and a half weeks. When we asked the guide what we'd be eating, she replied, "Dog."
December 8 Unexpected treat. Instead of staying in Canton, we were able to go out to a resort newly open to tourists after being a Party vacation spot. On the way we stopped in Foshan to visit a ceramics factory -- more handicraft by hand -- and the most ornate temple imaginable. Every millimeter covered with carving and figures. Outside bought the sweetest small bananas at a people's market. Piles of vegetables on tarps at a street corner. Temperature now spring like. Long bus trip to Seven Star Crag. Everyone off the bus at a ferry. Seven Star Crag is a Chinese landscape come to life. Impossibly steep mountains rising out of lake and mist. Grand hotel with balconies, mosquito netting, rusty and unreliable plumbing, and atmosphere. Wandering around the area was fun. The local Chinese had not seen Westerners in at least forty years. Farming and fishing all around.
December 9 Up for sunrise in heavy fog. Magic as the run sun comes up over the lake. Boat tour for the non-claustrophobic through a series of caves in and under the mountains. Boats were flat bottomed and wooden, propelled by hand. Then a strenuous and hot climb up to the top of one of the peaks for the view of the whole "park". Mountains rising out of the lake to form islands, bridges and pagodas winding all around, lanes lined with trees crossing the lake like causeways. A heated ping pong game back at the hotel between Fred (director of an arts center in Cleveland) and Belle Horowitz (Citibanker.) But less heated than the competition between Belle and me for Fred. No conclusion in PRC. Back to Canton for final day and a farewell dinner to close out the trip. Restaurant meal with guides and local tourist officials. Toasting with mao tai, a lethal alcohol of 150 proof. Really. The first round was as might be expected. "I'd like to offer a toast to eternal friendship between the peoples of the two great countries of the United States of America and the People's Republic of China." Down goes the skin removing shot. Next toast, "I'd like to toast the people of our two great countries." Down goes another shot. Then, "I'd like to toast." I put down seven and walked out of the restaurant only on the strength of very conscious concentration on my balance and my feet. Back at the hotel, the whirlies hit, but I managed to behave myself when Fred came by to chitchat with Elaine and me, and I didn't pass out into bed until he was gone.
December10 -11 World-class hangover. Served me right. Up at 5:30 to pack, eat breakfast (no thanks) and be on the bus. Train back to Lo Wu and then the walk across the bridge into Hong Kong. Moving. Hotel this time on the Kowloon side, along Stanley Road. I liked Hong Kong a lot better on this viewing. Ran around all the shops doing Christmas shopping amid the Chinese-eyed Santa Clauses and the 90-degree heat. Breathless. After nearly three weeks of poor Chinese food, all I wanted was a burger and fries. At McDonald's. Later, a small group dinner at Pierrot at the top of the Mandarin. We passed up the best Chinese food city in the world for mediocre French. Although I was completely recovered from my bout with tourista, China was no place to plump up. As I was dressing to go to Pierrot I pulled on my slinky black pants and reached for the dress-up top. My pants fell off to the floor. Back in New York, I weighed in at 112, a good twelve or so pounds underweight.
December 12 How come it takes two days to fly to Hong Kong and only five hours to fly home? Mummy and Daddy came down from Springfield to pick me up at Kennedy, feed me an Italian meal, and drive home again.

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month: Early Detection is Key for Survival
The American Cancer Society estimates that 22,440 women will receive a new diagnosis of ovarian cancer in 2017 and approximately 14,080 women will die from the disease. Ovarian cancer ranks fifth in cancer deaths among women age 63 years and older. Approximately 1 in 75 women will develop ovarian cancer – more than any other reproductive cancer.
What is Ovarian Cancer?
Cancer occurs when cells in the body function abnormally. When these rogue cells metastasize, or spread, they can travel to any part of the body, spreading cancer as well. Cancer that begins in the ovaries is called ovarian cancer.
There are three main types of cells in the ovariesand they can all develop into a different type of tumor. The types of tumors include:
Epithelial tumors– These tumors start from the cells that cover the outside of the ovary. This type of tumor is the most common of the three.
Germ cell tumors– These tumors start from the ova (the cells that produce the egg in the reproductive system).
Stromal tumors – These tumors start from structural tissue cells that hold the ovary together and produce the female hormones estrogen and progesterone.
When a tumor is benign, or non-cancerous, it can be removed with surgery. Once a tumor has been diagnosed as cancerous, the treatment plan becomes more involved.
The Importance of Early Detection
As with any malignant diagnosis, early detection is key when fighting ovarian cancer. With early detection, patients have a 94% chance of surviving past five years of diagnosis.
A women's wellness exam is one way of detecting ovarian cancer. Even with routine examination of the ovaries, it is still difficult to locate an issue with them through pelvic exam alone. While the pap smear test is proven effective for early detection of cervical cancer, it is not an appropriate test for ovarian cancer.
Patients should take note of symptoms signaling a larger issue and relay them to their health care providers. Ovarian cancer often presents without symptoms, but a woman should mention anything that feels out of the ordinary for her body so that it might be examined further.
Just as the mammogram has successfully located breast cancer, screening tests and exams are used to detect a disease, like cancer, in people who don't have any symptoms. The two most common tests used in detecting early stages of ovarian cancer are the transvaginal ultrasound (using sound waves to look at the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries) and the CA-125 blood test (measuring protein in the blood as a cancer marker).
There is room for improvement in the medical field regarding ovarian cancer screening tests, but for now, being proactive and detecting it early is the best practice.
Treatment Options
Once ovarian cancer has been diagnosed, there are treatment options available. First, the cancer must be staged. Most ovarian cancers are staged during surgery when tissue is taken. Treatment varies depending on the stage of the cancer and whether or not it's already spread.
One or more treatment options may be recommended post staging; these includeSurgery, Chemotherapy, Hormone therapy, Targeted therapy, and Radiation therapy. In addition, clinical research trials are controlled studies that exist to gain a better understanding of the cancer – while providing patients an alternativeapproach. Alternative or complementary treatment methods also exist, and they include: dietary supplements, medical marijuana, and placebos.

ARISA is a EU funded project to investigate the consequences to people's personal lives when accused in committing a crime.
ARISA explores what happens to a person suspected of or charged with a criminal offence. Anyone accused of doing something wrong is supposed to be innocent unless otherwise is proven in court. In practice, however, people accused of committing a crime often suffer the negative consequences of this crime even before the court decides on their guilt. As a result of the criminal investigation, suspects can lose their job, family, social standing and many more. Last but not least, the participation in the investigation itself may lead in additional expenses in terms of both time and money.
In this context, ARISA's goal is to identify all these factors, explore their harmful impact on the suspects and accused, and enable authorities to reduce this impact without affecting the investigation.
ARISA's website allows you to find all the information about the project in one place, stay updated on new developments, download publications in several languages or get in contact with the project team.

"Owen Smith's illustration clients include Sports Illustrated, Time, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker, for which he has created 15 cover illustrations. He has recently completed work on a new children's book for Simon and Schuster.Every one of Smith's illustrations is rich with detail. In many he has a noirish view of violence either happening or about to happen. I can look at his pictures and design my own stories around them.
Owen's influences come from the WPA artists of the 1930s, Diego Rivera, and the lurid covers of pulp magazines and dime-store paperbacks of the 1930s and 1940s. His paintings have been featured in exhibitions in New York, Rome, and Milan as well as solo shows in Los Angeles. In 1998 a set of mosaic murals Owen designed was permanently installed in a New York subway station at 36th Street in Brooklyn.
Currently Owen is designing permanent art for a historic San Francisco hospital, including murals, mosaic, and relief sculpture."
