Just want to say this after watching the documentary twice. Myra Ottewell and MPB have performed a tremendous service. Mississippi ReMixed reveals how easy it is for a society to cling to the status quo when the majority is privileged. And in a quite constructive way, the documentary shows how the younger generation is changing the status quo. The complexity of race and the history of Jim Crow are laid out for everyone to see. Moreover, for both blacks and whites, this program sounds the alarm against complacent inertia, and with such intellect that viewers will have a difficult time trying to debunk the program's factual basis.

by Alexander Baburin
It's always a bit difficult to deal with somebody whom you don't know personally, at
least in the beginning. To help to overcome this problem, we created this page, where you
can learn 'who is who' in our Auction House. You can also find some references on this
page. Below are our short resumes.
Jim Hayes
Jim Hayes is 56 years old and has been involved in collecting and researching all
aspects of chess literature and memorabilia for over 40 years. He inherited his love of
chess books from his father who introduced him to collecting by giving him his own small
though select library when he was 14 years old. Since then he has travelled extensively
throughout the world, never missing an opportunity to add to his own knowledge of all
aspects chess bibliography. He has stopped collecting to avoid a conflict of interests
with the auctioneering business. Jim is also a frequent contributor to chess journals as a
poet and commentator.
Alexander Baburin
I am 32 years old and I am a professional chess player (International Grandmaster), journalist and author. I have been interested in chess literature for many years and collected chess books while in Russia. I gave up collecting when I moved to Ireland in 1993. Two years later I became a book dealer and over period of time I developed good business relations with many collectors and dealers around the world. I have been supplying books (mainly in Russian) to the Royal Dutch Library in Hague in the Netherlands and to the Cleveland Public Library in USA.
Business referencesReference 1. "It has been a great pleasure for the Royal Library in The Hague to work with Alexander Baburin. We have been able to add many Russian titles to our chess collection, and fill gaps, which had arisen over the course of time. Alexander Baburin's bibliographical descriptions are very thorough and his catalogues a joy to go through. Baburin's service is excellent in all ways, which is very important for a library as ours since many departments are involved in the process of ordering books.
The only problem with Mr. Baburin's catalogues is that obviously many of his customers share our opinion. We really cannot loose time when a new catalogue has been issued, if we wait too long many of his titles we would like to order have already been sold." Henriette Reerink, Acting Curator, Bibliotheca Van der Linde-Niemeijeriana, Royal Library, The Hague.
Reference 2. "I have 'electronically' known GM Baburin for about two years, and not only has he proven to be a strong grandmaster and excellent author, but also a most reliable book dealer. A rare combination indeed. I can only wish him a well deserved success in his new auction site, and hope that he will be coming with more rarities (I still have some more in my wish list!)." Eduardo Bauzá Mercére, New York.
Reference 3. "From the beginning of Alexander Baburin's dealing in chess books I have been a regular customer. I have always found him to be courteous, efficient and reliable." Ken Whyld, firstname.lastname@example.com
Reference 4. "I have been dealing with Alex Baburin for several years and have been very pleased with the selection offered by Alex and with his excellent and prompt service. His catalogues are very detailed and a joy to read." Michael D. Sharpe (Canada).
Reference 5. "I am happy to recommend Alexander Baburin as a man with whom it is a pleasure to do business with. His honesty is impeccable, and he treats his customers like family. Once, an uninsured order of mine was lost in the mail, and Alexander made up for the lost order even though he was under no obligation to do so. He is a grandmaster of chess and of customer relations." Richard Reich (USA)
Reference 6. "I have been a customer of Mr. Baburin for several years. During this time, I have found that he has taken care to give accurate descriptions as to the condition and content of books and magazines. He has provided detailed responses to questions, and his shipment of orders have been timely and well packaged. I would recommend him highly to anyone who seeks a dependable source of chess literature." Raymond Kuzanek (USA)

CALL TO ACTION: Sign the Zoo Petition to STOP more expansion!
Join West Orange residents who are concerned about the environment, and street safety as they work to protect 800 West Orange trees. Read the following article, and join residents at Town Hall in saying, "Enough development - we need more open space!"
Where do our elected leaders stand on Open Space?
[September 3, 2019]
Essex County prides itself on the Turtle Back Zoo, while many West Orange residents say enough is enough. Traffic, parking, pedestrian safety, animals that don't thrive in NJ climates... West Orange is not Orlando, and residents don't want a Disney in their back yard.
[NJ.com / Star-Ledger Article September 1, 2019, by Kelly Hayboer]
People who care about the South Mountain Reservation SAY NO to the Turtle Back Zoo overdevelopment of the Reservation. $600K of our OPEN SPACE TRUST FUND MONEY has been approved for the design of a 500-1000 person amphitheater in South Mountain Reservation. Gov. Phil Murphy has frozen the additional $4 million County Executive DiVincenzo is requesting for building the aquatic-circus structure.
Next Essex County Freeholder Meeting is on Thursday, July 25, 2019 @ Livingston Town Hall, Livingston, NJ
As reported by Essex County resident Judith Rosenthal, esq. (who was in attendance at both the Essex County Open Space Advisory Board, and the Essex County Freeholders meetings, July 8 & 10, 2019):
Freeholder President Brendan Gill has issued the following statement in response to community concerns regarding proposed construction and expansion at Turtle Back Zoo:
OGWO responded to a home on Woodland Ave., Friday, May 10, 2019 to document and question why 11 healthy trees were being cut. There were no tree removal permits issued.
OGWO and an enviro-passionate Roosevelt Middle student handed out and planted 150 trees for free to West Orange seniors & interested residents.
West Orange residents continue to advocate for a sustainable, green, & safe Essex Green Shopping Center, despite the majority Township Council and administration siding with the wealthy developer, Clarion Partners, LLP. Up next Executive Drive.
The township of West Orange yet again designates a town property as "blighted," essentially handing another wealthy developer potential BIG tax abatements for residents to pay. The WO Public Library is the latest blighted area.
West Orange residents are the new owners of Rock Spring Country Club, located at 90 Rock Spring Rd. 138-acres for $12 million. Help fellow residents keep their eye on how well the Mayor follows through with his "gentleman's agreement" that the property will not be developed more than the 15-acres he has promised.
Earn good karma!

Barbie first hit the doll scene way back in 1959 making her exactly 50 years old on March 9th. Whether you love her or hate her (whilst still secretly loving her!) there's no denying that without Barbie's introduction to the market by Mattel there wouldn't be the amazing array of fashion dolls we have today particularly those aimed at the adult market. Or perhaps we would have more if the Barbie sales juggernaut hadn't come along and squashed pretty much every rival to come in her way. Even the Bratz girls may have to bow to her power (or rather the power of her legal team) in the wake of the recent courtroom wrangling.
In order to celebrate the big occasion, Mattel is going all out with a large online presence including a dedicated website, her own blog a Twitter page and even her own Facebook page. All this plus an array of events to celebrate the big day and an unprecedented add campaign. Just no one mention those recently dose-diving sales figures!

WELLINGTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Trade on New Zealand's stock exchange, NZX, was halted on Tuesday due to a series of glitches, the market operator said.
The outage, which affected trading and stock exchange releases, began just after 1119 local time (2319 GMT Monday), according to an alert on Thomson Reuters Eikon, and remained unresolved throughout the afternoon.
An "internal operational issue" had initially caused trading to halt, which had been resolved, but a "secondary issue" had arisen and caused further delay, said NZX Chief Financial Officer Graham Law in an email.
"The exchange has been in regular contact with market participants throughout the period," said Law. "NZX's current focus is on recommencing trading as soon as possible."
He said that the issues were not related to a technical problem with the NASDAQ trading system used by NZX, but did not elaborate further. (Reporting by Charlotte Greenfield; Editing by Gopakumar Warrier)

Narrative insights: notes from Aristotle on storytelling
The master critic of drama in Classical Greece has a thing or two to say about story, still.
We bundle the dog into the car, my husband and I, and fill up the trunk: books for one sister, the teapot my mother wanted, an article for my father, something for the baby. The trip down will take us two hours, three in heavy traffic, and the familiar terrain — the cattle on the hillsides, the billboards, the iron-worked toll bridge — slips by as we play our versions of Botticelli and Ghosts. As we cross the Bay Bridge, he snaps off the air conditioning and I open the windows. The dog perks up and climbs to his post behind the back seat, tilting his head to sniff at the cool air and whining softly in anticipation. I hang one foot up on the dash and tune in KPFA. We are all going home.
Got your attention?
I would wager yes, and that's because you're wired for story. We all are. We are so attuned to story that we will see story even where none is intended, even when "story" (the glue that links events together) has been thoroughly excised. If you are presented with a sequence of events from which all causality has been removed, or in which none ever existed, your mind will likely perceive causality all the same. Just as we tend to see faces in random patterns in the clouds or on surfaces in the world around us (part of a phenomenon called pareidolia), we will tend to see causality in sequences of unrelated events. The novelist E.M. Forster famously said that "The king died and then the queen died" is nothing more than a sequence in time, answering the question "What happened?," while "The king died and then the queen died of grief" inquires more deeply into events to answer the question "Why?" But most of us hearing the first would intuit the second.
Avoiding story is difficult.
It is also not advisable for the kind of writing that many of us find ourselves involved in these days — because story engages.
Story enables you to better convey your message and to make it stick. Stories are persuasive. They mimic the way we experience the world, and the way we learn from those lived experiences. When we're involved in a story, the activity in our brain looks for all the world as though we ourselves were participating in those events — and neuronally, we are. The areas for vision and movement light up in response to vivid description. (You've heard "show, don't tell"? That's why.) Our emotional centers are engaged as well. Good stories take us completely outside ourselves, transporting us to another world.
You don't have to be a novelist to work a little story into your writing. In fact, you're already doing it. Whenever you write up an interview, whenever you work an anecdote into an article or a presentation, whenever narrative of any sort comes into play, you are engaging in storytelling. To do it well, you need only follow a few basic principles. And Aristotle laid a set of them out beautifully in the Poetics, as applicable today as it was two thousand years ago.
First principles
Stories have shape
It seems deceptively simple to say, but as Aristotle long ago observed, stories have a beginning, a middle, and an end. Stories are shaped compositions ("well-designed structures," in Aristotle's terms): they ought not to begin or end at arbitrary points, and the development of the middle should clearly connect the beginning to the end through the logic of causality. Where you choose to begin, where you end, and how you develop the narrative between those two points, these are first principles.
Then there's balance. You'd not want a story to linger long on setup, for example, but then give short shrift to development, because then you'd have prepared the way for what is never delivered. And you'd not want one that was all development, without adequate setup, because then you'd have delivered something without preparing the way for it. "Balance," though, doesn't mean equal time spent. Just enough time in each to get the job done.
This fundamental three-part story-shape is just the first and most basic way of evaluating a story's effectiveness. And as with any principle, in capable hands some aspects of it can be overturned for artistic effect.
Every detail should contribute to the whole
Another fundamental aspect of story is unity. Every detail in the piece should relate back to the main theme you're exploring. What point are you making? What thought or feeling do you want to leave the audience with? Every detail you select should contribute to that, whether explicitly (in direct statement) or implicitly (in details you leave readers to draw conclusions from). Every word in the story, every image, every plot-point, should do work. And work together. As Aristotle noted, the piece should be so constructed that removing any one element of it would "disturb and disjoint" the whole. The corollary of that principle is that everything that should be there, is.
Start by putting down all the details that come to mind and seem particularly apt, and then test the effect by reading the draft through to see whether any particular bits contribute nothing to the effect you want.
Focusing on a single individual does not guarantee unity
A story does not necessarily attain unity simply by centering on one individual. In any story you are telling, it is not enough to make sure that all the details relate to one person — or to one business or one product or one feature. This strategy does not necessarily ensure unity of theme, characterization, action, or impact. You must still select from all the details available to you (or from among those you might create, if you are spinning a fanciful ad or marketing piece) to find the ones that drive home your point.
Think in terms of the effect you want to create, or the event you want to relate, and make that your selection criteria. Even if you are specifically sketching a character (or describing a product), select only those details that will help shape the finished portrait.
Starting in the middle of the action helps to propel your readers in
The epics and dramas of Classical Greece always began at the height of activity, long after what might have been the chronological beginning, and this is a convention that Aristotle himself works within and assumes. It took a later Roman poet to remark that the action of a story as told ought to begin in media res ("in the middle of things"), rather than ab ovo (literally, "from the egg," meaning "from the beginning").
So too where you start telling a story need not — in fact, in general ought not — be the beginning of the events as they happened (or would have happened). You can choose to use flashback or flashforward, to tell events out of order, or to begin, using that time-honored device, in the middle of things. Beginning in the middle helps to create a sense of engagement with the story immediately.
You might write events out chronologically in early drafts and experiment later, when you're clear on the overall trajectory, with beginning instead wherever the action becomes especially interesting.
Necessity or probability
Events linked tightly by cause and effect feel particularly inevitable
When Aristotle noted that the middle of a story is linked to both beginning and end through a causal chain of events, he was calling attention to a fundamental aspect of narrative, indeed to the way in which we define narrative. For although we are inclined to detect causation in any sequence of lived events (from which follows, for example, the superstition of many athletes with respect to how they prepare for a game), we hold stories that are constructed by an author to a higher standard. We expect events to follow from one another in a story even more logically than they might in real life. You can capitalize on this in any narrative you write, whether retold from life or created to drive home a point, by selecting and situating events to highlight those logical links.
To test the strength of the causal chain in a story you're writing, work backwards event by event: was each propelled believably into motion by the previous? We judge events in stories retrospectively. That's a good way to test that events as they unfold are believable (or in Aristotle's terms, "necessary or probable").
When chance intervenes in the right way, it can feel right . . .
As a counter principle to ensuring necessity or probability in the way that events unfold, because life itself is seldom strictly logical, you can sprinkle in a little chance here and there to increase the story's likeness to life. Handled in the right way, chance can also feel like fate. It can add another layer of motivated purpose to the story. Aristotle cites the example of the bronze statue of the murdered king of Argos, which during a public event fell on the king's murderer, killing him in turn.
An anecdote such as this carries with it the satisfying feeling of fulfillment: the statue's fall was unexpected, yet fitting. And so it seems less like chance and more like fate. It feels right.
. . . but chance ought not be used to resolve a knotty complication
You've got to be careful with chance in a story though: a chance event can't seem like it's rescued you, the author, from a tight predicament. That's cheating. Better a chance event that increases difficulties than one that solves them.
A resolution that does not arise organically from the plot — from, in the language of game theory, the pieces already on the table — is what Aristotle called apo mechanes theos (and the Roman poets who came after him, deus ex machina), literally "the god in the machine." The phrase comes from the habit, common among the dramatists of lesser talent, of resolving a particularly complicated situation by lowering down from a huge crane ("the machine") a representation of one of the gods, who then put an end to the problem, and with it the action of the story. It was the classical forerunner of the cavalry coming over the hill.
Error, reversal, and recognition: hamartia, peripeteia, and anagnorisis
People make mistakes, and we learn from them (even if they don't)
Stories are about conflict and struggle and strife. They are about things that go wrong or things that are about to go wrong or things that we fear will go wrong, perhaps even terribly wrong. All the trouble in a story frequently comes about because somebody — one or more of the characters, or the narrator — has made a mistake. Perhaps you didn't get the memo, you opted out of a meeting, you misread the new initiative, something. An error in judgment, a miscalculation, the wrong information received, the wrong person trusted. This initial error (hamartia for Aristotle) is the spark the sets events in motion.
In serious stories, as in life, from mistakes come insight. Generally for someone in the story, but most particularly for us the audience. If you're relating an incident from real life, you are probably relating it because you became aware of some mistake or misunderstanding and its consequences, and somebody learned from it.
Whose mistake? One mistake or many?
A mistake made by someone else can affect the main character we're meant to identify with or care about, a mistake that main character makes can affect somebody else — or the mistake made can come back to haunt the person who made it. That last is the mistake whose revelation offers the strongest impact: the character learns that she has been the author of her own (typically) downfall.
Knowing this, you can structure stories you're working on to have more dramatic (or comic) effect. Whatever the purpose of the narrative, whether you're working from something that actually happened (selecting and arranging details) or writing something from scratch (creating those details as well), you can develop a trajectory that resonates more deeply with your audience.
With revelation comes understanding, and deeper narrative impact
As characters are drawn deeper and deeper into the problematic situations set in motion by that initial misunderstanding, that initial misstep, narratives sustain audience attention, keeping them with and in the story. Keeping them listening to what it is you have to say. For Aristotle, the best plot-structure is the one in which that initial mistake sets in motion events which continue to spiral out of the characters' control, the narrative tension building inexorably until that moment of release, the pivot-point in the action, when a sudden reversal (peripeteia) — generally meaning that somebody's fortune rises, somebody's falls — makes clear that fateful first misstep. This moment of illumination, of recognition (anagnorisis), of understanding, follows the reversal swiftly.
This structure of "mistake, unintended consequences, and the turning point that brings the mistake to light" is the best plot-structure, in Aristotle's estimation, because it is the one that most fully engages both an audience's attention and an audience's emotions. Because narrative mimics the experience of living, both cognitively and emotionally, it can be very persuasive. If you can draw the audience into deep engagement with the material, what the main characters feel, they will feel. And what the main characters learn, the audience too may take on board. Narrative can persuade where reasoned arguments fail. And it has been used to do so.
The more "storified" your message is, the more you will want to pay attention to the Aristotelian schema for story. It may be a structure that works with your material and message.
The unexpected is sticky
To increase a story's impact, write, as Aristotle advised, "contrary to expectation." We tune out the consistent, the humdrum, the normal. But break expectation, break a pattern — now you've got our attention. We'll pay attention to what you're saying, and we'll tend to remember it better.
The unexpected may be a chance occurrence (particularly if it hastens events forward, rather than resolving them) or it may arise directly from someone's actions, most especially a misstep. It may also come at the end.
The endpoint
In the end is the beginning
What Aristotle spells out in the Poetics is a teleological critique of story, a perspective which has been explored more fully in modern narrative theory. Narrative is exuberantly end-focused: from the opening moment, every story strains toward its conclusion. And the way a story concludes colors our interpretation, indeed our experience, of it. A good ending, an ending with a twist of the unexpected, can cause us to reevaluate our entire understanding of the story retrospectively. Such an ending rewrites the story. So choose the endings of your stories carefully: the endpoint should provide closure, it should offer answers.
Because the ending is the most important point of the story, if you can, write it first. If you discover along the way how you want the piece to end (or how it seems, as you work with it, to want to end), return later to the rest of it and revise from the beginning so as to better prepare for that end. Endings are often written first; beginnings, last.
You don't need to write fiction to take advantage of these Aristotelian insights into effective story structure. You can incorporate them into any narrative you're working on — user personas, use cases, a product pitch, the warmup to your presentation, a customer experience piece for the corporate blog — to tighten structure and increase impact.
Not every story, of course, follows this classic trajectory, but a story that does can connect with its audience deeply on both an intellectual and an emotional level. It's a story that can increase engagement. It's a story that can persuade.

Saints edge Dublin derby
St. Patricks Athletic progressed to the FAI Ford Cup semi-finals after a hard-fought 3-2 win over local rivals Bohemains, following a lively Dublin derby at Richmond Park last night.
Both sides struggled to find their rhythm in the early stages, with little in the way of goal chances for the opening twenty minutes. Derek Pender gave the visiting side the lead somewhat against the run of play, nicking the ball past the onrushing Brendan Clarke following an excellent pass from Kevin Devaney. Their lead was short-lived however, as the Saints took only three minutes to respond, with Christy Fagan getting on the end of a Conan Byrne free kick to head the ball home from close range.
Delaney was kept busy in the Bohemians goal, producing two vital saves before half-time to keep his side in the game. The first stop came shortly after the equalising goal, Mark Quigley played in Keith Fahey, who couldn't force his shot past Delaney. Quigley was involved in most of St. Pat's best moves, and nearly gave his side the lead with a brilliant dipping long range strike, which Delaney managed to tip over the bar. At the other end, the in form Dinny Corcoran was unlucky to see a sweetly struck twenty yard volley fire straight into Clarke's arms.
Pats started the second half much brighter than the first, taking a deserved lead less than five minutes after the restart, as Killian Brennan curled a superb twenty five yard free kick over the wall past a static Delaney.
Liam Buckley's side continued to pile on the pressure, and Christy Fagan doubled his tally for the night to make it 3-1, squeezing the ball past Delaney after being found in space by Conan Byrne.
Greg Bolger was sent off after being booked twice for two late tackles in the space of five minutes, leaving St. Pats with ten men and over twenty minutes left on the clock.
Brendan Clarke did brilliantly to tip away Eoin Wearen's deflected low drive from the edge of the box, but was helpless minutes later when Aiden Price headed home for the visitors from a Kevin Devaney corner.
Price's goal made for a nervy final ten minutes for the home supporters as Bohemians fought hard to find an equaliser, but the Saints defence were a match to everything thrown at them, as St Pats held on to secure the win.

2014 has finally arrived. And it couldn't have come at a much better time. As great as 2013 was overall, Hubster and I are really liking forward to the hope and excitement a new year brings. In short, we are so over 2013 and it can basically kiss our asses.
Yes I ran my first marathon, learned to outrun my fears and finally accepted the idea of "celebrating finish lines, not times." I also finally started believing that our baby will come in God's timing, which is the best timing. It still sucks and hurts that our 2013 BFP was a tease, but ultimately I am OK. This gives me (borrowed) time to get my act together and become a more disciplined runner so that I can *hopefully* continue to run through a pregnancy. It also gives me (borrowed) time to finish some projects in our house I've been dying to do for years. As well as complete my many overdue photo books before I have pregnancy/baby ones to do!
I love how the new year brings more optimism to my heart and goals to my mind. I need something to work for and challenges to conquer. That's just who I am. Since the baby thing is left completely up to God now, I'm finally going to focus on my goals for the year. So for ultimate accountability, here they are:
*Life Goals*
*Lose 8lbs every month I'm not pregnant
*Write down 10 accomplishments every week
*Write down 15 things I'm thankful for every week
*Have spontaneous fun sex every month
*Finish my photo books by 3/31/13
*Sleep by 10:30 pm on weeknights
*Wake by 6 am everyday
*Reconcile budget every month
-Marriage Goals-
-Run/swim together 2x/week
-Complete 3 races together
-Monthly date nite
-Spend 2 weekends away with each other
-Spend 2 weekends away from each other
•Running Goals•
•Complete 7 races (2 half-marathons)
•Post goal vs. actual weekly running
•Run with a partner at least 1x/month
•Complete weekly strength training program
•Run at least 14 miles every week
So far, this year is starting off well! NYE we cooked dinner for Hubster's family and then one of my pregnant friends and her hubby came over to hang out. We spent the evening drinking and playing board games until the countdown. There was so much laughter I woke up with sore abs and cheeks lol! And then today Hubster and I ran 3 rough miles (dehydrated, hungry and hot!) then relaxed on the patio under the fan, showered and ate a quick lunch of mussels and seared ahi tuna salad (with yummy wasabi dressing). Now we're chilling on the couch listening to the most amazing mashup of 2013 top hits (can be found here)
I hope everyone else is having a wonderful 2014 so far as well and can't wait to read about your goals/resolutions!
Wishing you peace, love and lots of running miles in 2014!

Plant disease-resistant apple varieties
MILTON-FREEWATER - Are you thinking about planting some new apple trees on your property this winter or spring? If you want to apply chemicals to control apple diseases, your best bet is to plant disease-resistant varieties.
In western Oregon, apple scab is the apple disease that requires the greatest number of fungicidal sprays for control. An alternative to using fungicides is to plant scab-immune varieties, explained Tom Darnell, horticulturist with the Umatilla County office (http://extension.oregonstate.edu/umatilla/) of the Oregon State University Extension Service.
Since 1985, OSU has tested scab-immune and scab-resistant apple varieties at their experimental farms in Corvallis. The trees received no fungicide applications. The following apple varieties showed no symptoms of apple scab infection, plus had good flavor:
- Redfree - a medium-small crisp, sweet red apple that matures in late August.
- Priscilla - a small, part red apple that matures in mid-September.
- Nova Easy Gro - a medium, dull-red apple that also matures in mid-September.
- Liberty - a medium red very firm apple that matures in early October. Rated as having the best flavor of all the apple-scab immune varieties.
Also, the apple cultivars Akane (Tokyo Rose), Chehalis, Prima, Spartan and Tydeman Red have shown good resistance to scab and good quality in our region, according to the PNW Plant Disease Management Handbook (https://pnwhandbooks.org/), edited by OSU Extension plant pathologists.
In eastern Oregon, fire blight on apples is the major problem on apples. Susceptible varieties include Gala, Fuji and Braeburn, said Darnell.
According to the handbook, the following apple varieties are resistant to fire blight: Liberty, Northern Spy, Prima, Red Delicious, Redfree, Spur Delicious, Stayman Winesap.
"Fire blight isn't usually a problem every year in eastern Oregon, but when it hits it is very damaging and almost impossible for the homeowner to control or manage," said Darnell.

You should write a book. It just may not be for the reasons you think.
The quickest way to get started in the information business is by doing an audio interview. Do a quick outline or put together a few questions. Find an expert. Record an hour interview. You now have a product. No more than 2 hours were invested in the process…and a minimum amount of money (a simple phone recording device can get you started).
A book takes at least a week to write, and you have to pay for a well designed cover to sell it. Yet, I still recommend a portion of my clients create a book. Why?
It's simple really. Becoming an author provides you with immediate benefits that are hard to compete with in any other way.
1. Improve Credibility for Consultants and Coaches
If you're currently doing any consulting or coaching, having your own book separates you from the competition. Would you rather hire the consultant who studied all these books…or the author of the books they studied?
Instead of simply giving someone your business card or a brochure, you can hand them your book. You're the expert. While most people won't "read" your book, it now goes on their shelf with other books they've purchased. It makes them feel better just having it.
2. Increase Fees
Want to increase your fees? Publish a book. This one goes right along with number one. You've improved your credibility, so you can now raise your rates. This includes consulting, coaching, and speaking fees. You're a busy author (doing publicity campaigns and more). Your time is valuable.
You'll also run into less price resistance as an author. It seems miraculous, but your perceived value in the eyes of your clients has now went up. You're an author…and your "expert" fees seem more reasonable now.
3. Generate Publicity
Send out review copies. Do radio talk shows. The media is starved for good interviews. You now have something to talk about in your new book (I recommend creating your book with publicity in mind from the beginning).
Not very many people will listen to an interview and hire you to consult with them. They will buy your low cost book and be added to your customer list. Then you can follow up on them with all your higher profit items on the backend.
4. Backend Sales
A book is a perfect entry point in your product funnel. Let's say you sell DVDs, home study courses, and even do workshops. Your higher price point items might require an endorsement from a trusted source or someone to speak to them on the phone. The book simply has be offered as a solution to a problem they're having. It's an easy sale.
You can then have upsells and other offers throughout the book. Don't turn the entire book into a sales letter. DO offer items that solve their problems. The book can be a doorway into your other product offers.
5. Deepen Your Knowledge Base
Even if you never sold a copy, a book can still be profitable to you. It requires you sit down and organize your thoughts. You have to outline. You have to study your subject more in depth. You'll have a broader base of knowledge and skill when you're finished with your book.
To put it simply…writing a book will help you grow. It will stretch you. You'll come out of it with greater knowledge, experience, and value to give to others.

Steven Agnew calls for universal pre-school early years' provision
Speaking ahead of a Northern Ireland Assembly debate on nurture groups in primary schools today, 15th November 2016, Green Party Leader Steven Agnew MLA expressed his hope that the Assembly would endorse his amendment to the proposed motion, which calls for a universal early years' education provision.
Steven Agnew MLA said: "This debate presents a great opportunity to properly tackle the causes of educational underachievement in Northern Ireland, as well as improve the health and wellbeing of our children and young people. My amendment, which calls for a universal pre-school early years' education provision, is a much more effective way of doing this than the original motion, which simply proposes the creation of more nurture units.
"I want to tackle the issues that nurture units aim to remediate before they start. I want to ensure that every child goes into school fully prepared, and that parents are given the support they need to ensure that their child has the best start in life.
"This doesn't mean that nurture units are bad. Far from it, they are necessary to ensure that all children receive the education they deserve. However, for the DUP to see them as the sole solution to educational underachievement, and ignore the many benefits of effective early years' provision, shows a typical lack of ambition.
"It has been estimated that a universal early years' system would cost an additional £37m per year. Previous studies have suggested that good quality early years' education can save the tax-payer up to £9 for every £1 spent on it through reduced health problems, crime and increased employment opportunities in the future. When the Executive can find a quarter of this figure for just one flight, without any sort of business case, this investment in our children is a no-brainer."
Notes to editors
Nurture groups are a short-term, focused intervention for children with particular social, emotional and behavioural difficulties which are creating a barrier to learning within a mainstream class.
The £37m per year figure comes from NICVA: http://www.nicva.org/article/universal-early-years-provision-for-all-0-4-year-olds
The wording of the original motion by the DUP is:
"That this Assembly welcomes the report by the Centre for Evidence and Social innovation at Queen's University, Belfast, entitled The impact and cost-effectiveness of Nurture Groups in Primary Schools in Northern Ireland; welcomes the commitment of the Minister of Education to continuing to fund the thirty-two nurture units across Northern Ireland; and calls on the Minister of Education to examine potential options to mainstream nurture provision within the current education budget."
Steven Agnew MLA's amendment is:
Leave out all after the second 'Northern Ireland;' and insert:
"recognises the role effective early years' interventions can play in reducing the need for Nurture Units; and calls on the Minister of Education to examine potential options to develop a universal early years' education provision."

Free screening and panel discussion
"Backfired: When VW Lied to America"
Wednesday, October 24
in the Community Room at KNPB Public Broadcasting
1670 N. Virginia Street • Reno, Nevada 89503
Researchers from West Virginia University stopped by KNPB on Wednesday, October 24 for a free public screening of a new documentary film, "Backfired: When VW Lied to America." The researchers, who helped uncover the scandal, also took part in a live Q&A after the film along with University of Nevada, Reno's Vice President of Research and Innovation Dr. Mridul Gautam, who was the team members' masters and doctorate advisor, and worked with the team.
- Dan Carder: Director, Center for Alternative Fuels, Engines and Admissions; West Virginia University. Listed among Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world.
- Dr. Arvind Thiruvengadam: Assistant Professor, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering; West Virginia University. Ranked #2 on Motor Trend Magazine's annual Power List.
- Dr. March Besch: Research Assistant Professor, Dept. of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering; West Virginia University.
- Dr. Mridul Gautam: Vice President for Research and Innovation and Professor of Mechanical Engineering: University of Nevada, Reno.
The researchers, working in a lab created by Dr. Gautam, were studying why vehicles gave off higher emissions in Europe than in the United States. Their study led to the discovery of "defeat devices" used by VW to alter emission test results to avoid California and U.S. vehicle emission standards.

Senator John McCain, who died earlier this week, is currently being remembered for a lot of reasons. However, there is one moment from his political career that has proven to be truly unforgettable.
One of the most famous political moments from his life is the incident where he cut off one of his supporters midway as he made a racist comment about Barack Obama, who was also running for office at that time.
Several of John McCain's political moments during his election campaign back in 2008 came under media attention. However, one of the most famous ones was when he interrupted his supporter midway when she declared Obama as an Arab and expressed her mistrust for him.
John immediately interrupted her and stated, "No, ma'am. He's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues, and that's what this campaign issue is all about."
Watch a video of the interaction:
John McCain's statement sparked worldwide appreciation, though he also got his fair share of hatred and lost some support. Now, after his death, many are remembering the incident, though the reactions are still mixed. Some are pointing out that it was unnecessary and insulting for McCain to assert that Obama was not an Arab, and that his statement was in fact racist itself.
John McCain's finest moment (for me) came in 2008, when a woman at a rally referred to Obama as an Arab. "No, ma'am," McCain replied. "He's a decent family man, a citizen that I just happen to have disagreements with." That's manning up.

In an age of political venality, cowardice & mediocrity, John McCain was a giant. A man whose principles prevented him from accepting release from torture – & whose principles survived the temptation of the highest office, when he publicly rejected false lurid claims about Obama.

Tonight -we remember a true leader
May his dignity, courage & humility be a guide to us all.
Tonight- I remember a Presidential nominee defending his opponent bc it was the right thing to do #greatamerican@SenJohnMcCain Counters Obama 'Arab' Question https://t.co/DbK1JTQioo

RIP John McCain who called out his own supporters & defended his presidential opponent Barack Obama against bigotry and hatred… A politician with true class where many who see stirring up race hatred as a legitimate way of gaining a political advantage. pic.twitter.com/XMcgkJnE5D

Many said he could have denied the woman's aggressive statement without making it seem as if being an Arab is something that falls outside of the ambit of being decent and civil.
Incredible how that clip of John McCain saying that 'Obama isn't an Arab, he's a decent family man' is actually being portrayed as his finest moment lmao.
Here's Ben Affleck breaking down how McCain's response was actually pretty damn racist. pic.twitter.com/FtDofqjtzJ
— Umaar Kazmi (@UmaarKazmi) August 26, 2018
Let's say John McCain wasn't conflating being Arab with not being a decent family man in reply to the lady at the rally. Say it was a reflexive shut down of an Obama birther rant. When did common decency, the bare minimum, become the ultimate example of leadership and class?
— Jennine Khalik (@jennineak) August 27, 2018
I can't believe people are sharing that clip of John McCain defending Obama when he was accused of being an Arab when it was literally one of the most hurtful moments of my life.
— Diana Hussein (@heyadiana) August 26, 2018
McCain reportedly also asked for one of former presidents Obama or Bush to give a eulogy at his funeral.
In a statement released after McCain's death, Obama's regard for the senator was clear.
"Few of us have been tested the way John once was, or required to show the kind of courage that he did. But all of us can aspire to the courage to put the greater good above our own," Obama wrote. "At John's best, he showed us what that means."

Rash of Break-ins Strikes Lanesborough
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — Police are advising residents to lock their car doors after about 10 vehicles were broken into in the wee hours of Thursday morning.
According to Police, the vehicles were mostly unlocked and electronics were stolen sometime after midnight Thursday morning. Police have called residents informing them of the rash that spans across town from Sunrise Street to Ore Bed Road.
Police do not have any suspects and the case is still under investigation. The items stolen ranged from stereo receivers to binoculars to a cell phone.
Residents are encouraged to take "preventative maintenance" by locking doors and report any suspicious activity to the police.

Lanesborough Man Charged With Child Pornography
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A Lanesborough man was charged with his second child pornography offense.
Jermaine L. Lane, 35, of Balance Rock Road had not guilty pleas entered in Berkshire Superior Court Wednesday on four counts of possession of visual material of a child depicted in sexual conduct - his second offense.
Lane is being held at the Berkshire County House of Correction on $50,000 bail as a result of allegedly having images of child pornography on his cell phone on Jan. 31. The investigation was conducted by state police detectives assigned to the District Attorney's Office.
Lane had previously pleaded guilty to 39 counts of possession of child pornography in 2008 and he was given suspended sentences at the Berkshire County House of Correct and placed on three-years probation. He was also told to attend sex-offender counseling and wear a GPS monitor.
Those charges stemmed from having illicit images on his computer between 2004 and 2006 while he lived in Pittsfield.

Thousands Without Power in Neighboring Counties
Our neighbors east of the Berkshires were hard hit by last night's severe thunderstorms. Thousands were left without power and Western Massachusetts Electric Co. says that 31,000 customers were still out at 10:30 this morning. It may take several days until all customers are fully restored.
Officials say they have engaged the help of contractor and neighboring utility crews to assist with damage assessment, clean up and restoration efforts, after overnight winds, heavy rain and lightning caused extensive damage in WMECo's service territory.
Hardest hit towns include: Amherst, Bernardston, Buckland, Deerfield, Easthampton, Gill, Greenfield, Hadley, Hatfield, Montague, Shelburne and Springfield. Currently there are more than 440 trouble spots.
In Berkshire County, about a 100 customers are still affected in Becket, Lanesborough, Otis, Sandisfield and Tyringham. The storm blew through North Berkshire around 11 p.m. on Wednesday.
National Grid was also reporting a large number of outages in Central Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick was visiting Turners Falls this afternoon to view the damage.
Because of the large number of road closures, WMECo plans to use a helicopter patrol over Franklin and Hampshire counties to better assess the amount of damage to its distribution system. WMECo said it continues to evaluate the extent of damage; at this time restoration times are not available.
In terms of numbers of customers affected, WMECo said early indications show that this storm's impact is comparable to the December 2008 ice storm.
The utility is reminding people not to go anywhere near downed wires and report them immediately by calling 911 or WMECo at 1-800-286-2000. Don't operate generators indoors and make sure they are installed by a licensed electrician.

Mall Cleared for Fryer Fire
LANESBOROUGH, Mass. — A fire in a fryolator forced a brief evacuation of the Berkshire Mall on Friday morning and delayed its opening by 10 minutes.
The fire was contained to the McDonald's in the Food Court and is believed to have started in the fryolator's hood. The fire is under investigation and the fast-food purveyor is expected to be closed for at least a day or two during that time.
The fire occurred around 9 or 9:30 a.m.; the Food Court is open prior to many of the stores in the mall's interior. The mall itself opens at 10 a.m.
An hour or so after the fire was called in, two fire trucks were still parked at the entrance and the McDonald's and court area directly in front of it were cordoned off with yellow tape.
Heather Salerno, the mall's marketing director, said staff evacuated the building immediately and procedures set in place for emergencies "worked very well."
"Obviously there was a limited a staff at this time of the morning but they were able to get everyone cleared [from the building] very quickly," she said. "The Lanesborough Police and Lanesborough Fire Department did a fantastic job."
Store clerks, staff and customers were allowed back in at 10 minutes after 10, she said.

Clarksburg Catches Break in Break-ins
CLARKSBURG, Mass. — A Pittsfield man arrested in Lenox last week is connected to at least two recent break-ins in town, say police.
Stefan Veremko, 28, was arrested after being spotted running from a Lenox building with a pillow case full of loot, said police. Veremko may be responsible for a rash of break-ins reaching from Southern Vermont to South County.
"We have reason to connect him to a couple of the housebreaks in town," said Police Chief Michael Williams on Monday. "We're still working the investigation with the other agencies in trying to link him to others [incidents]."
Williams said he was contacted by Lenox police on Saturday, the day after Veremko was arrested.
Recent burglaries in Clarksburg and Stamford, Vt., have had residents up in arms. More than 100 packed into the Stamford Valley Golf Course clubhouse on Saturday to discuss a forming a crime watch.
According to the Lanesborough Concerned Citizens Newsletter, that town, too, has been dealing with break-ins. Lanesborough Police Chief Mark Bashara said every effort was being made to find the perpetrators, according to Editor Al Hartheimer, and that all Berkshire County police departments were cooperating in the effort.
Stamford held a meeting with state police and a deputy sheriff two weeks ago over break-ins; Richmond is planning a similar meeting this Wednesday. Unlike those two towns, Clarksburg has its own, albeit small, police force and doesn't depend on state police for coverage.
Williams said he's been working with state police and other police agencies and that they keep each other apprised of ongoing investigations through a monthly "detectives' meeting," at which the recent rash of break-ins around the county was discussed.
"We had been putting the information together but couldn't link the Stamford and Clarksburg ones to that group," he said. "Now we're able to and its starting to fall together now."
It's not unusual for the bedroom community to have a few break-ins a year, but this time four occurred one right after the other at the end of October, beginning of November. At the same time, at least two break-ins were reported in Stamford and a possible attempted one. A couple break-ins had also occurred a month or so earlier in Clarksburg.
A number of Clarksburg residents have complained of lack of communication but Williams said the Selectmen have been kept informed and officers have spoken neighbors, as well as talking with other police agencies such as North Adams. A lot of information can't be released, he said, because it could hamper an ongoing investigation.
Veremko's arrest could bring closure to a number of break-ins fairly quickly.
"A majority of the time it doesn't happen [this fast]," said Williams. "I've seen it go for a year and then we find a clue or get information that closes the whole case."
The Selectman will take up the issue of the burglaries on Wednesday during their meeting at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall. A scheduled public hearing about a blighted house has been rescheduled to Dec. 9 because of problems getting the legal notice published in time.
Update 11/17/2009: Lenox Police will hold a viewing of the hundreds of pieces of evidence found from noon to 8 on Thursday, Nov. 19, in the auditorium of the Town Hall at 6 Walker St. Only those who have been a victim of a larceny and have an ID (driver's license, etc.) and proof of loss (such as a police report) will be allowed into the viewing. For more information, contact Lenox Police at 413-637-2346.

There has recently been a rapid growth in retailer demand for sustainable 'Better Cotton'. As OCA we see this growth as a clear sign that cotton sector sustainability is gaining momentum. The continued rise of sustainable cotton, intertwined with renewed consumer consciousness, is a hallmark of the increasing importance of environmental and social values in the sector, and is likely to prove a boost for organic cotton as well.
Initiatives such as BCI and the Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA), while far from competing, strengthen each other's hand and global norms on the road towards sustainability. Luckily, the 'conscious cotton' market is not a zero-sum game. The current trend indicates that brands are deepening their commitment and diversifying their sustainability portfolios through arrangements such as BCI. This is also explained by other retailers' communiqués on organic cotton: C&A, for instance, has launched an effort to purchase only sustainable cotton by 2020. As the world's largest user of organic cotton and in an effort to reach their public commitments, in 2017, 67% of the cotton products sold by C&A were either certified organic cotton or sourced as Better Cotton. The growth of Better Cotton does not come at a cost to organic—but at a cost to the polluting, conventional cotton. A development that needs to be applauded and encouraged.
In this context it is important to reaffirm the key environmental merits of organic cotton. The BCI initiative, which teaches farmers to grow cotton using less pesticide and water, naturally marks a massive improvement over the pollution and abuses so typical of traditional cotton. Moreover, BCI's achievements in setting standards for environmental, social and economic responsibility for more than 50 brands and nearly 700 suppliers are invaluable. As such, we see the growth of sustainable cotton as an encouraging stepping stone towards the 'gold standard' of organic cotton. Organic cotton offers a holistic perspective on farming, focusing on long-term soil health, not allowing for chemical pesticides or fertilizers, and safeguarding farmer health. Making the transition to organic cotton is critical: the devastating effects of pesticide use are painfully visible, for instance in the documentary 'The True Cost' – and even diminished pesticide use continues to exact a heavy price on the environment and health of local farmers and their communities. Achieving a truly sustainable cotton sector therefore requires investing in the business case of organic cotton farmers.
Growing demand is one way of improving the business case for the farmer. On the topic of demand, while 2016 did see a small decline (3.8%) in the production of organic cotton—mostly as a result of depressed prices for all cotton in India—the Textile Exchange Organic Cotton Market Report 2016 notes that the market value of organic cotton remains stable at $15.76 billion, and moreover that organic products as a sector continues to experience significant and sustained growth. Indeed, the demand for organic cotton is only set to accelerate, given trends such as the rise of environmentally-conscious 'slow fashion', which will strengthen customers' willingness to pay a premium for high-quality organic fashion.
In the coming 18 months OCA partners will prototype interventions that are expected to improve the business case for the organic cotton farmer. Interventions that are to be scaled and implemented sector-wide from 2018 onwards. OCA applauds the growth of BCI, and we are confident that together we will continue moving away from conventional cotton to a more sustainable sector.
