Many of the residents of Oakwood Cemetery were deeply connected in some way to the history of Spiritualism in Niagara Falls. In fact some of the great leaders of Spiritualism believed that Niagara Falls, itself, was the source of the Spiritualist movement. At a celebration of the Jubilee of Spiritualism in 1898, Carrie E. S. Twing, a spiritualist author, said:
Some years ago the great Niagara caused those living within sound of the roar of its waters to awake, not because of its noise, but because of its silence…
These next few installments will tell you the most unusual story of Spiritualism in Niagara Falls and about the "silence" that awakened another world to life.
Some believe there is no death, only rebirth, and there are places where there is a communion between these two worlds. Niagara is said to be one of these locations, for there is a phenomenon here that is peculiar to all places of intense beauty. Peter A. Porter said it was the presence of Deity, or Spirit. Others find Niagara a "power point" of energy. Amy Koban, a practicing Spiritualist from Niagara Falls, describes falling water as a natural root cause for paranormal activity. Regardless of our combinations of language, it seems undeniable that the veil between the living and the dead is very thin here. This strange duality of forces—at once divinely beautiful, yet at the same time terrifyingly violent and the embodiment of our greatest fears—has intrigued people for centuries. There is a hypnotic effect that Niagara stamps upon the soul. Some have to tear away from the brink as they feel themselves becoming helpless to their urges. It was inevitable that Niagara would become a haven for the poet, the artist and the mystic. They were the "Sky Holders", the Medicine Men, the translators of the Divine.
Ever since the very beginning when Father Louis Hennepin, a Recollect missionary who had accompanied LaSalle on the expedition of 1678, wrote the first lengthy account of the falls—"that dreadful gulf (where) one is seized with horror," people have understood there would be hazards associated with a trip to Niagara. However, it was not only the cataract itself that presented horrific dangers. Early travelers' accounts describe a rugged and ancient wilderness where Nature and her beasts ruled supreme. There were wolves that roamed in packs of 20 or 30 at a time and "were so fierce as to attack men in the middle of the day." In the summer months it was said that one may "meet with rattlesnakes at every step and Musquitoes swarm so thickly in the air…that you might cut them with a knife… A Herefordshire man and guide told one traveler that the rattlesnakes were of such an enormous girth that he had once killed one containing twenty four rattles. It was truly a nightmarish landscape.
And yet, there were also rainbows that spread across the daytime skies in Biblical proportions and moon visions that glimmered through the mist. At one time, rainbows were present each morning from ten until noon. John Quincy Adams remarked that "it takes away all language as well as thought, and in this raptured condition one is almost capable of prophesying—standing as it were in a trance, unable to speak." The moon was a bedtime story, in itself, as it hovered wonderful and curious, above the Niagara River. One hot summer evening in 1787, an English captain who had been visiting Fort Schlosser and the Stedman's, stopped before the gates of the Fort upon noticing the moon. He had never in his travels seen such a sight as the magic that seemed to unfold around the setting moon over Niagara. It appeared "to rise to a very uncommon height in likeness to a very dark column." He had witnessed a moon bow, or a lunar bow, a rare phenomenon produced when light reflects off the surface of the moon and shines upon the mist created by the water falls. They are unlikely to occur today because there is less water and therefore less mist due to the diversion of water for electrical purposes and because of the many city lights that crowd up the night sky. At one time, the Maid of the Mist would make moonlight trips for the sole purpose of allowing travelers the opportunity to view the lunar bows. It is not hard to understand how Niagara's unusual and remarkable landscape captivated the early travelers.

One special visitor, who will forever be connected with Niagara's mystical past, was Francis Abbott, the Hermit of Niagara. Tall and handsome, wearing a loose gown or cloak of chocolate brown, he was first seen passing through Niagara Falls on the afternoon of June 18, 1829. His singular appearance caught the eye of all who had looked upon him. Carrying only a roll of blankets, a flute, a portfolio, a large book and a small stick, he walked into the hotel and asked the landlady the usual questions about the falls and then about where he might find a library. Immediately, he found his way to the library where he proceeded to borrow some music books and purchase a violin. The librarian was informed that his name was Francis Abbott…and the rest is local folklore and history. Increasingly, he became completely and utterly bewitched by the falls. He found his way to the library often and each time he spoke with the librarian he informed him that he would be staying a little longer than he had originally planned. Eventually, as time wore on and he remained, he built himself a rustic hut upon Goat Island. He revealed that it was his plan to live as a solitary hermit. The proprietor of the island allowed him to stay at the only dwelling then on the island where a family lived. He ate very little and lived the life of an ascetic monk. He lived such as this for about 20 months and would often be seen with his guitar, supported with a silken sash, walking the banks of the whirlpool. His music was strange to the ears of those who listened. They came from their homes and he would just as soon walk away.
Eventually, as time went on, he built a cottage of his own near the high bank of the river—in full view of the falls. He lived here about 2 months with only his pet dog. Much of his time was spent in quiet solitude and meditation. Many grew accustomed to his peculiarities—how he loved to bathe in the cascades between Goat Island and the Three Sisters Islands, even in the coldest weather, and how he made a daily practice of walking over a piece of timber that extended over the Terrapin Rocks and 12-15 feet over the precipice of the falls—sometimes hanging over the chasm by his hands and feet for 15 minute intervals. He was known to write quite often, mostly in Latin, but destroyed his works just as fast as he created them.
Francis Abbott disappeared on June 10, 1831. The last anyone saw of him was the ferryman at 2:00 in the afternoon. Only his clothes were found on the rocks. On June 21, his body was identified at Fort Niagara. The next day he was interred in the burial ground at Niagara Falls. He was eventually removed to Oakwood Cemetery and his gravesite remains one of the most popular sites. Following his death, the following inscription was found chiseled upon a rock on Luna Island and believed to have been written by Abbott, himself: All is Change, Eternal Progress, No Death. He was about 28 years of age at the time of his death and a most spectacular curiosity and precursor to the spiritual history of Niagara Falls.

Another most singular individual who found his way to Niagara was Godfrey N. Frankenstein. Born in Hesse-Darmstadt, Germany, in 1820, he would become "the painter of Niagara Falls." It was said that as a child he was so strange as to gleefully await the slaughter of the pigs on his father's farm so that he might "collect a quantity of blood for paint." And just as Francis Abbott had been enamored of Niagara, young Frankenstein found himself "so charmed with their grandeur and beauty" that he spent much of his life in Niagara Falls and painting the scenery. He developed a growing fascination, or "almost an obsession with Niagara Falls. He "made the study of the great cataract a labor of love." He summered and wintered by it; painted it by day and by night; capturing every angle and each nuance. He was well known even to paint as "the grey rocks wore an icy robe and the spray congealed into icicles upon his stiffened garments." Although he painted over one hundred easel paintings of the falls, he is most well known for his panorama, "Niagara." "Niagara" was painted upon a strip of canvas that was over 1,000 feet long and nine feet high. It rolled from one wooden spindle to the next, with the assistance of Frankenstein's siblings who had helped to arrange the panels systematically. It was first exhibited in the old City Hall in Springfield, Ohio, before touring much of the country. Some historians believe that Frankenstein's panorama of Niagara was the very first inception of a motion picture. The panorama was unique as it provided a sort of "cinematic" effect as its size and portrayals made viewers feel as if they were swallowed up into the giant cataract, themselves. There was music and drama to accompany its viewing. It grew to intense popularity. "Owing to the increased desire to see this remarkable work of art and to enable ladies and children to see it, Frankenstein's Moving Panorama of Niagara will hereafter be exhibited both morning and night…admission 50 cents."
Print by Godfrey N. Frankenstein. From "Niagara," in Harper's New Monthly Magazine. August, 1853.
Frankenstein had also included inserts of terror, such as the collapse of the Table Rock and a boatman's fatal plunge—which horrified, as well as entertained, the viewers. Commentators were well aware of the strong theme of death which prevailed throughout much of Frankenstein's work on Niagara. "The spectre of death seemed implicated in the medium's own mode of representation; like a cadaver…the canvas resembles a living being…and yet there is a paradox in the close resemblance to death…"
Truly, a panorama such as "Niagara" was a giant among works of art and Niagara was the perfect subject. The artist at Niagara had become not unlike the "Sky Holder," or interpreter of the divine.
I have also personally experienced the translation of Niagara's beauty into art a few years ago when Thomas Asklar, a renowned artist of today's Niagara, a modern day "Sky Holder," spent a great deal of time unloading his massive renderings of the cataract into the community room at the Lewiston Public Library for a display. Some pieces were so large they could only be propped against the wall. When everyone had gone and I was left to myself, I sat in a room filled from the floor to the ceiling with Niagara and I had the unmistakable feeling rush through me—it was as if I were really there and I could almost hear the water and then that familiar fear and trepidation took my breath away.

Frankenstein died from a cold on February 24, 1873. He is buried in Spring Grove Cemetery in Cincinnati. Unfortunately the behemoth panorama, "Niagara," is also gone. It is believed that he had stored it in Black's Opera House in Springfield which burned to the ground in 1903. "Whatever its merit, it no doubt long ago passed into the limbo of the forgotten."
Print by Godfrey N. Frankenstein. From "Niagara," in Harper's New Monthly Magazine. August, 1853.
The mid 19th century swept through western New York with a frenzy that had never been seen before. There were new emotions arising as the dust settled from the late wars and as a new nation sought to create a persona. The Frankenstein panorama was noted as being a true representation of our nationhood. It portrayed the indomitable and reckless spirit—the passion and pathos of the American-- in its panels of Niagara Falls. There was an incessant longing in the American for an understanding of this strange new position, an identity, among the nations of the world. Much of western New York was still frontier and spiritual needs were often left unanswered as clergy were scarce. Folk movements grew at an alarming pace. The grounds were fertile for an awakening. Niagara was a part of what became known as the "Burned Over District." This term referred to the section of the country where new religions were founded and it was tied in closely with other movements such as the Women's Rights Movement and Abolitionism. It was not too far from Niagara, in Palmyra, New York, where Joseph Smith was said to have been visited by the angel, Moroni, and the Latter Day Saint religion was born. The Millerites, the Shakers and various Utopian experiments were coming to life and gaining a stronghold in this region. Most importantly, on March 31, 1848, the modern Spiritualist movement was born when the Fox sisters in Hydesville, New York, began communicating with "Mr. Splitfoot," the spirit of a peddler who had been murdered and buried under their home. Perhaps it was merely a coincidence that the day before the event in Hydesville, on March 30, 1848, the great Falls at Niagara were silenced because of a natural phenomenon that sent many panicking that the end of the world was coming. An ice jam had temporarily cut the flow of the water. Eventually a crack formed and the water was flowing again, but not before hundreds of fascinated people ventured out in the riverbed.
The Fox Sisters of Hydesville, New York
And Niagara did fascinate. Here, the space between heaven and earth was quite visibly smaller. Niagara was a symbol for the fugitive slave of the great power of the promise of freedom. Thousands made their way to this border-land with Canada and found new life just a stone's throw across the water. However, it was also a point of energetic conflict as Niagara was the location at which bounty hunters sought their rewards. There were local men and women within the community who assisted in the Underground Railroad, and there were those who profited from assisting the bounty hunters. It was no secret that the Abolitionist movement was deeply embedded in Spiritualism. Prominent leaders such as Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Lloyd Garrison and Thomas Garrett were professed Spiritualists. Many fugitives were brought to freedom through Niagara by Harriet Tubman, an intensely spiritual woman, herself. She was known to have been led by dream visions, to have spoken to God, Himself. Many knew her to be a "firm believer in spiritual manifestations." In fact, her biographer, Sarah Bradford, had a difficult time portraying her character as she tried desperately to limit revealing her strange behaviors and beliefs for she was certain that its mere mention could possibly discredit her.
Look for Part 2 of "When Things of the Spirit Come First"…Learn about the famous psychics who found Niagara Falls "fascinating," debates over the survival of man held in local establishments, a most unusual occurrence in the yards of the Central Railroad near the Suspension Bridge, and ghosts on the Maid of the Mist….

I don't really intend to make a habit of such behaviour but the week ahead looks fairly hectic, what with the Alderley Edge School for Girls Christmas Fair on Saturday, another lovely order from Cocoa-Cabana and a non-macaron consulting project to be completed before Thursday. Think this is what they call multi-tasking!

Yesterday, I went to the IIT for Techfest's night event, Laser Floyd.
Now, the last word in the last sentence is enough to draw me, and maybe a couple of more people to the event. So, there it was, a Laser Show from some group from America with Floyd's The Wall playing in the background.
Let me be frank. The laser show was not something brilliant. I think I saw the same kind of thing at our college fest two years back, maybe on a little smaller scale. And just to praise my college a tad bit more, I think the idea of having a live band in Vayu perform along with the laser show was much more exciting.
Anyways, what I loved about the show was the crowd. I would so wish that kind of a crowd present for an event I organize. Even before the show started, the mexican waves had begun. After a couple of rounds of hand-raising fun, there was the flashing of mobiles. It so reminded me of everyone holding a candle during Scorpions' Wind of Change performance; I did not imagine cell phones could be so visible from 25 mtrs.
All right; people who had not heard any song from the album came just because they thought it cool to attend something to do with Floyd, but the spirit of the crowd was enough to make you want to go to that place year after year. Imagine an open air theatre, filled with almost 6000 people, all waving their mobile phones in the air. Pretty decent.
It's things like these that make me even more fond of the IIT; forget the education bit, it's the IIT experience that's the real thing.

Bring in more sales with an effective digital strategy
Just three simple questions will guide you to a great digital strategy
Digital, as a persistent and consistent presence, working for you 24/7, targeting your perfect prospective clients would be your next logical step, right?
The problem with digital is where to get started. Which channel do you focus on – search or social media or something else again?
You also want to be sure of the return on investment – in both time and money spent. And you've a right to be sceptical. You've already paid for a website that has yet to deliver any real results and there is so much noise out there, it really is hard to know where to start.
Logically, starting with the data and facts and to put together a structured digital strategy will give you the chance to understand:
- exactly what your business needs to be doing online to bring in the leads and sales
- what it's going to cost
- the risks and opportunities open to you.
Why digital is a no brainer
There are a lot of successful businesses out there, including yours, that have grown on the back of hard work that has generated a lot of word of mouth and referrals to your business.
But what if you could take that great word of mouth and referral marketing and put it on steroids by allowing digital to amplify your hard work and put you in front of more of the 'right' people that will buy from you.
This is why digital is a no brainer.
Let's look at the facts.
- 79% of Australian's access the internet every day.
- Of these, more than 60% of people will research a purchase online prior to actually making that purchase – regardless of whether they are going to buy it online or offline. These figures are much much higher if you've a target market in other countries like the US, Canada, or the UK.
- 93% of internet users use Facebook or another social media platform.
More reasons to embrace digital wholeheartedly
- Digital allows you tap into new audiences that are currently outside of your reach with niche targeting and 'in the moment' tools, that allow you to be relevant and timely in front of these new potential customers.
- You can scale up with a one to many approach and leverage the many digital tools that allow you to automate much of your activity.
- Digital is easily measured. This means you can make it accountable and easily take steps to optimise and improve performance month on month as you learn what's working best and what's not. It's a simple equation of doing more of what works and stopping what doesn't.
- You can amplify your offline networking activity easily by substituting your business cards with a digital connection at networking events. Often business cards get thrown into an Eifel tower-esque pile never to be looked at again unless you established a really solid connection during the event. A digital connection allows you to continue to develop a relationship over time where one might never have evolved.
- Your offline activity can be taken to the next level by allowing happy customers to share their story on social media or even just as a testimonial for your website to help close future sales.
- Digital is pioneering a new level of customer experience. You can slam your competitors by creating outstanding customer experiences that not only exceed your customer's expectations but move them to talk about and share their experiences with you to give you even more digital visibility and creditability.
- Digital makes it easy to prime your customers with all the right questions (and the right answer to expect) to help with the sales process. This works very well for those of you with complex products or services that will require more than one conversation or visit to close the deal. Helping your customers with the right information to help with the decision making process can pay huge dividends.
- As an extra bonus, digital can often open new markets and opportunities. For example if you're in a business that lends itself to a digital product of some kind but you are currently just providing a service, then an effective digital presence gives you a chance to offer 'more' to your target audience.
Three key questions to create your digital strategy
A digital strategy needs to be holistic and look at your entire customer journey. That means answering the following key questions:
- How will your (future) customers 'discover' you online?
- What information do they need to be convinced to buy from you?
- How will they 'buy' from you?
These three simple questions, when unpacked, become a comprehensive digital strategy that allows you to really get to the heart of what you need to be doing online to bring in online leads and sales.
A good way to unpack these questions is to put yourself in your customer's shoes and think how will they:
- Become aware or discover your product or service? First up understand if they are actively searching for your product or service or whether you will need to get inventive to grab their attention. This will help you understand which channels you need to focus on as part of a digital strategy. If there is intent – or they are actively searching for you – then search engines are going to be a good fit for you. If they are not, then you'll need to consider social media and other digital activities to put yourself in front of your potential customers. Your goal is to make yourself 'discoverable'.
- Be convinced that they want to buy from you? Some may need to compare your offering with your competition and others may just need to understand the real benefit that they will get versus what it will cost them in terms of both money and time. Understand this aspect clearly because you will need to clearly address it online to bring in new leads and sales. It will directly inform you about the content you need to provide, as well as give you hints about whether your customer is going to need considerable time and attention to get to know you before wanting to purchase from you or whether it will be a short quick interaction. This is mostly driven by the value attached to your product or service. Ie. A purchase for $5 doesn't necessarily require the same degree of consideration and interrogation as a $1000 purchase. You will know this already from you dealings with existing customers. Use this to understand what is going to be required to 'close the deal' online. After all, digital is not about the one to one conversation but a one to many conversation so you will only be as good as the content and tactics you provide to help with this.
- Remove any barriers that will make them hesitate in closing the deal with you? This is fundamentally about the mechanics of making a sale or capturing a lead. Making it easy easy easy to complete a transaction with you is key. Whether it's the ability to purchase online or simply the ease of making a phone call or appointment to meet with you. Think seriously about this as well as any supporting activity that might be required such as addressing security concerns or last minute questions.
- Be so happy with their transaction with you that they brag about it to others. To do this you need to look at what you need to do to exceed expectations and make people happy. Then you need to think about how do you make it super easy for people to talk AND share their happiness with others? By helping them to talk about you in a public way is a sure way to help you close future sales.
Three simple questions asked and answered can provide you with a digital approach that will be effective and provide you with a consistent and persistent sales funnel of new leads and sales that you have not previously tapped into. Digital, used properly, can make a real difference to how much business you can get through your door.

Well folks, like a simp I've once again taken work home over the weekend and am also working through my day off.
Somebody agree in prayer with me that a long lost, obscenely wealthy great aunt or uncle shows up in my life and decides they want to adopt me!
Jesus be a benefactor!

Washington (AFP) – The United States called Sunday for Turkey to "exercise restraint" and avoid civilian casualties in its cross-border operation targeting Syrian Kurdish forces.
The call came a day after Turkey launched "Operation Olive Branch," an offensive by Ankara's troops and allied Syrian rebels against the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in the town of Afrin.
"We urge Turkey to exercise restraint and ensure that its military operations remain limited in scope and duration and scrupulous to avoid civilian casualties," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.
"We call on all parties to remain focused on the central goal of defeating the Islamic State jihadist group," Nauert said.
The YPG has been a key US ally in the war against IS, helping to drive the jihadist group from swaths of Syrian territory, including its stronghold Raqa.
But Ankara considers YPG fighters to be "terrorists" linked to the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), which has been engaged in a separatist struggle against the Turkish state since 1984.
A Britain-based monitoring group and a YPG spokesman both said that Turkish air raids killed eight civilians in northern Syria on Sunday.
On Saturday, the YPG's Birusk Hasakeh told AFP that a Turkish bombardment had killed 10 people, including seven civilians.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Sunday that claims of civilian casualties from the offensive were untrue.

Tag: tri-tip
At my Foodbuzz 24×24 party, I made a tri-tip for the entree. The tri-tip marinade was made of tequila, soy sauce, olive oil, cilantro and much more. Marinating it for a whole day made it nice and juicy for my guests. With this, I made an avocado cream sauce to serve over the top. I had seen a recipe for this type of thing earlier on For the Love of Cooking and was waiting for my chance to make it. It is similar to guacamole, but I added sour cream along with red wine vinegar to make it into more of a sauce.

Opening Pattern of Bicuspid Aortic Valve Influences Hemodynamics of the Aorta and Wall Shear Stress: A Left Ventricle-Aortic Valve-Aorta Computational Model Study
Koichi Sughimoto1, Takashi Fujiwara2, Alex J Barker3, ShinzoTorii1, Tadashi Kitamura1, Mamika Motokawa1, Yurie Miyata1, Kagami Miyaji1, Hao Liu2.
1.Kitasato University School of Medicine, Sagamihara, JAPAN; 2.Chiba University, Chiba, Japan; 3.Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA.
Bicuspid aortic valve is known to cause the dilatation of the ascending aorta, resulting in rupture or dissection of the aorta. The relationship between the morphological impact of the bicuspid aortic valve and the hemodynamics is not fully understood. A multiscale hemodynamic model was created incorporating an MRI morphological data and bicuspid aortic valve.
A multiscale computational biomechanical model was devised by using MRI three-dimensional structure including the left ventricle to the aortic arch in one cardiac cycle. Three types of the aortic valve were designed as normal tricuspid and bicuspid opening parallel and perpendicular to the mitral valve alignment. A patient-specific model of bicuspid aortic valve (RN fusion) was also created. Pathlines in the aorta, wall shear stress (WSS) and oscillatory shear index (OSI) were compared among three models. The pathlines of the patient-specific model (RN fusion-bicuspid) was compared to the MRI.
While normal tricuspid valve model showed smooth pathlines and low WSS, the both bicuspid aortic valve showed a locally intensified, helical systolic flow jet and elevated WSS on the anterior aspect of the ascending aorta. OSI was elevated at the lateral wall of the aortic root in the parallel model, anterior wall in the perpendicular model. In the RN fused bicuspid model, the pathlines showed crock-wise flow jet with intensified jet toward the superior, anterior aspect of the ascending aorta along with the largest WSS in the same location, while OSI was lowest in the corresponding locations.
The orientation of valve opening influenced the flow pattern in the aorta as well as WSS and OSI. Bicuspid aortic valve was associated with the alteration of local flow and wall shear stress, these features may be one of the causes of the mechanical change of the aortic wall. Moreover, the flow pattern in the patient model was more complicated than the simplified BAV models. Further investigations are necessary with regard to the computation of patient-specific models of other bicuspid aortic valve phenotypes.

Monthly mentoring is a key component of the Jaffe Fellows' success in their classrooms. Strong and supportive mentoring has a direct correlation with the retention rate of new teachers.
Jaffe Fellows, both in their first and second year, are mentored by experienced practitioners. The PCFP mentors have demonstrated a commitment to education, the ability to communicate effectively, and knowledge of the specific content area.
The mentors are passionate about the professional development and growth of the Jaffe Fellows. Through the two year mentoring relationship, Fellows are offered individualized support and provided assistance with establishing instructional priorities, implementing curriculum mandates, and setting clear and realistic expectations for themselves as well as the students they serve. Mentors provide invaluable feedback that serves as an inspiration for the Jaffe Fellows to progress and excel.
Bruce has been a mentor for the Peace Corps Fellows Program since 2005.
Those involved in education will recall their first turbulent year of teaching with a mixture of fondness and dread. Thirty-three years have passed, and I still vividly remember the thrill and terror of teaching classes decked out in my suit and tie to disguise the fact that I was twenty-two, just a few years older than my eleventh-grade students! My outfit also helped me to gain entrance on the teachers' elevator where earlier the aide had questioned whether I was a student or a faculty member.
My first year of work at Teachers College was no different. A mentor had left New York abruptly, and there was a need for a quick replacement for the spring term. Mr. Browne called me and asked if I would like to apply for the position. At first I declined, but then I thought, I am fifty-five, newly retired from teaching and feeling the loss of a dynamic career. My pension advisor had told me, "You have the best pension in North America. Now all you have to do is breathe." There had to be something more, something to fill the gaping void. I reconsidered and decided to become a mentor.
My first Fellow was a young woman who had spent two years in Senegal and now wished to become a full-time teacher. In the Peace Corps, she was responsible for organizing a bike-athon across the entire country to publicize the need for mandatory education for girls. The demonstration received television coverage including appearances by prominent political figures. Now this young woman was sitting across from me in a coffee shop telling me details about her first half-year of teaching. All of a sudden as she spoke, tears began to stream down her face. The fall term had been a nightmare; she had been assigned five classes without a co-teacher, a para or any assistance from administration. Her students quickly discerned that she was new to the job, and noise level and misbehavior were out of control.
I thought to myself, in a way you and I are in the same situation. You are staring into an educational void, and I a personal one. In effect, she was left on her own to sink or swim without support of any kind. With my years of teaching experience, I could provide that support. I said to her, I believe I can be of help to you. In fact, I am willing to come once a week to visit your classes until you are on your feet as an educator.
Thus I began the long, tedious trek from Queens to Brooklyn to one of the oldest schools in the city, Erasmus High. No matter what route I took, the commute always took 45 minutes on some of the most congested highways in New York. Once I arrived, we began work immediately on lesson planning and an overhaul of classroom management. There were no pedagogical miracles taking place, but midway through the spring term I could see that she was running more orderly classes, and there were major gains in her rapport with students and in her own self-confidence. By mid-term, it was clear that she was able to stand on her own as a beginning teacher with a strong sense of commitment to her field. When she started an after-school club for girls, I could see that she was deeply into her role as an educator, and it was time to suspend the weekly visits.
Twelve years have passed, and I have worked with a wide array of Fellows, some of whom were "naturals" and others who needed intensive support. I have experienced the horror of working in a phase-out school, one which was slated to be closed at the end of the school year, one in which my Fellow watched his AP and even his principal desert the sinking ship for a new position. The students, of course, picked up on the imminent sense of chaos, but they grew to like my teacher if only because he had told them that he would not leave them under any circumstances. I have also walked into schools that were beautifully run where my Fellow was receiving so much support from his
in-house mentor and his colleagues that I started to feel that my words of advice were bordering on the redundant.
Not a single teacher from my PCF roster has quit in midstream. This strong sense of commitment to education is what I admire about them most. Having spent several years working in trying conditions, facing the aftermath of revolutions and the outbreak of the Ebola plague, Fellows have come to the teaching profession with an earnestness not shared by many beginning teachers. Also, every PC mentor I know has agreed that there is no sense of entitlement in the Fellows we are assigned. They are true idealists who have shifted their focus from improving a small part of the world to improving the education of students in their classrooms.
I really consider it a privilege to be working with high-minded teachers like these, and again, like my mentoring colleagues, I have marveled at their rapid growth from struggling beginners to capable instructors in a single year. To all newcomers, I would say that with idealism and a sense of grit and determination born overseas, you too will look back with pride on your accomplishments as a beginning teacher.

Occupational hazardsFri 9 Nov 2001 by mskala Tags used: fiction, nov01, scifi
I guess every line of work has its risks. Too much time in the lab and those innocent pretty little droplets will whittle your brain down to a nub of harsh organometallic white noise. Climb one too many towers and even if you don't fall the RF will get to you. Keyboards and carpal tunnel, you get the idea. Sure, I'm being obscure and I don't even really know half the shit I talk about, but those are parts of the price for who I am.
It's waking up at three and stumbling to the washroom and staring at the patterns in the linoleum computing their distribution and then translating into the frequency domain, not for any reason but just because you cannot do anything else because you aren't even awake yet but the part that does that stuff never sleeps because you'd die without it. And maybe the universe wouldn't even exist if you weren't always watching. It's the paranoia that follows you down every corridor and along each street and that doesn't go away even with drugs because the drugs and the therapy only chase away the phantoms of your synapses; limited utility if they really are out to get you. It's the structures of meaning, one layer on top of another, arranged in Naples and elsewhere, the four and the five and the ten and twelve and the twenty-two. Everything has to be a number and every number has to have a meaning and every meaning creates the corresponding thing, back again.
And the minutes tick by and then the date rolls over and you start a new one and it's exactly the same only completely different, days full of words one on top of another, and sometimes you think nobody's reading and sometimes you read that everybody's thinking and sometimes it doesn't matter but always it's everything. Close your eyes and the cables detach, you're shooting off into the void, on a voyage of ten thousand light-years behind your eyelids. Bring me back a moon rock, please.

Awareness around human trafficking (9 Jan 2014)
The Police and Crime Commissioner for West Yorkshire, Mark Burns-Williamson, has spoken out about the need for raised awareness around human trafficking.
Mr Burns-Williamson was speaking after a court case this week where three people were jailed after forcing a vulnerable man to work for them up to 17 hours a day.
The case was heard at Sheffield Crown Court, but Mr Burns-Williamson said that an event looking into the scale of human trafficking across West Yorkshire would be organised in the near future, aimed at educating people about the signs to look out for if they fear someone is being trafficked.
Human trafficking can include forced labour, or services, domestic servitude, sexual offences and other forms of exploitation.
Tackling the issue is a priority in the Police and Crime Plan and more details about the event will be released in the near future.
It comes weeks after the Commissioner said that he welcomed the draft anti-slavery legislation proposing to bring in tougher sentences for human traffickers.
The Modern Slavery Bill aims to increase the maximum custodial sentence for offenders from 14 years to life and there is cross party support for action to tackle modern-day slavery.
Mr Burns-Williamson said: "As the judge in this shocking court case said, prosecutions in this country are happening for slavery and I have personally pledged to work with fellow Police and Crime Commissioners and internationally to tackle issues such as trafficking and forced marriage.
"The role of the National Crime Agency is also key for joined up strategic working to tackle these vile crimes.
"I plan to meet with more charities who work with victims of this awful practice to learn more about what we can do to help.
"I will be looking at the scale of this problem in West Yorkshire and how it can be measured accurately so we can develop ways of tackling it to ensure we are making communities safer and feeling safer.
"An operation took place in Leeds recently seeking to recover potential victims of trafficking and we have said we will use the lessons learned from this operation to inform how we deal with this shocking practice going forward.
"As this case shows, the need for legislation and tougher sentences is there to act as a strong deterrent to those causing untold misery to victims of this practice."

The most powerful civilisations the world has ever seen face-off for the title of greatest empire of all time
The word 'empire' can sometimes have negative connotations, conjuring up ideas of conquest, colonialism and oppression.
But from another perspective, empires can be seen as the engines that brought about modern civilisation. Since the dawn of the human race, people were looking beyond their own territory and conquering their neighbours.
As military technology and logistics progressed, empires emerged. No longer just a collection of local villages and fields, by the sixth century BCE empires could encompass vast areas of land.

iPhone 3G lawsuits against Apple and AT&T are apparently all the rage these days, and this week a New Jersey man became the third person to sue Apple and AT&T over the network performance of the iPhone 3G. In the class action suit, Eulardi Tanseco takes carrier and manufacturer alike to task for the poor 3G speed and connectivity experienced by many iPhone 3G users, as well as for a number of bugs related to the App Store and WiFi Music Store.
Tanseco's complaint is hot on the heels of two other complaints that have been filed in Alabama and San Diego in recent weeks, and takes much the same tack as the other two by claiming that the service received so far hasn't lived up to AT&T and Apple's hype. In particular, Tanseco mentions frequent dropped voice and data connections "even while remaining the same physical location," something we've heard quite a lot about already. And just in case personal experiences aren't enough, the suit throws in a mention of the problems other folks have been having, as evidenced by Internet coverage of the problem.
Also discussed in the suit is the fact that Apple has done a bad job of disclosing iPhone bugs and flaws, such as App Store applications that won't load and WiFi Music Store tunes that won't play. The 2.0.2 update hasn't fixed Tanseco's problems either, but perhaps upcoming updates will at least knock a few issues off the list.
Because so many people have purchased the iPhone 3G, Tanseco and his lawyers believe that only a class action suit can cover everyone's issues. In terms of damages, compensation for lost service and punitive damages are both on the list, AT&T and Apple would also be required to halt their incorrect advertising campaigns. As always, we'll be waiting with bated breath to see where this one goes, but somehow I feel like a settlement and some account credits could be in store for those affected.

While I find NY/NJ and Philly deals to Colorado on the regular, the same cannot be said for those of you up in bean town. Boston to Denver pretty much never goes on sale. To make it even sweeter: Get 57% off Lift Tickets at A-Basin OR 54% off Lift Tickets and Stay-Your-Third-Night-Free when you book your first two at Copper Mountain.
Boston to Colorado (Non-Stop) generally runs at least $325 — these cheap flights save you 40% and get you there Non-Stop on jetBlue.
With Arapahoe Basin ALREADY OPEN and many of the other resorts still offering pre-season lodging and lift ticket deals there has never been a better time to head west, even just for a few days, to get the season headed the right direction.
While there is plenty of availability on United on many of these dates, my personal preference will be to book with jetBlue until United changes their surfboard policies and stops trying to charge me $150 each way to bring my quiver to Puerto Rico with me.
Cheap Colorado Lift Tickets
As mentioned up at the top A-Basin IS OPEN but they are still allowing us to buy their Elevation pass at 57% off the retail lift ticket price. For those who don't know the Elevation pass is basically just a 4 pack of lift tickets designed to be purchased by locals (who buy in early at a discount) and used across the entire season.
That said, they work just as well stacked on four days in a row to really pile savings on top of the 40% you are already going to save on your cheap flight.
Note the elevation pass listed as the last entry below:
Per the above image, Liftopia has some great rates on two-day and three-day lift tickets with a lot of availability that matches up with our flights. That's probably your best option if you aren't planning on staying the four days necessary to cover the Elevation pass pack.
For those who prefer Copper... they have 54% off multi-day pre-purchased Copper Mountain Lift Tickets when you go big and purchase on the Copper site. Those even STACK with the below third-night-free lodging promotion.
Cheap Colorado Lodging
Copper Mountain is also getting in on the early season discounts with one of the best lodging deals we have seen recently. Stay your third night free when you book two (33% off).
Just two dates?!
Um. Yeah. There aren't a ton of dates on this one and the will sell out quickly. So if you want to go call up the squad and make it happen fast.

Latest update July 5th, 2019 9:35 PM
Mar 16, 2016 Alice Real Estate Comments Off on Buy Land in the Philippines
The Philippines is a beautiful country to live in, with a deep history, fantastic culture, good food, and an even better climate. There really couldn't be a better place to live or to do business. The key to living in the Philippines or to running a business there is to own the land beneath your feet. If you want to move to the Philippines or start up a business of your own, then the first step is to purchase a plot of land to build upon, and the perfect way to do that is by looking online. You can buy land all over the Philippines, and all of the lots are great for several different purposes. Whether you want to buy a lot in the countryside or in the middle of the city, there will always be a piece of land suitable to your needs.
There are many different benefits that come from owning your own piece of land, and that's because land is a very versatile thing to have. If you have a piece of land, you can build virtually anything that you want to see in that spot. Owning your own piece of land is a great way to start out if you are looking to build a house, an apartment building, or even a condominium complex. It's much better to build these things when you actually own the land because that means that you are the only person you answer to. Having a house or even a condo complex is great, but when you have it built on someone else's property it can cause some big problems.
Building a home or a residential building isn't the only thing that you can do with your own piece of property; there's so much more. You can build many different types of things for commercial or even for entertainment purposes, all things that can make you quite the big profit. You can do all kinds of things like building an office building for your company, you can build a movie theater or an amusement park, or you could even build a golf course too. All of these things are great investments to make; however, they are really only good investments if you own the land that sits under those investments. Finding a lot for sale in the Philippines is great because you can do so many different things with that land to turn a profit.
The best way that you can purchase land is by looking online. That's because it's just a lot easier to buy anything online than actually purchasing it in person. When you shop for your plot of land online, you can look at the detailed pictures as well as the description and make your choice based on that. Don't waste your time travelling around in the Philippines, looking at lots for sale, just to realize that you could have done it all from the comfort of your own home.

Young Earth
Credit: Young Earth
Learn more about me
Credit: Young Earth
Young Earth are an Indie Rock/Pop band from Dublin, Ireland formed in late 2016.
Their debut EP, Frequency Illusion, has introduced the band's varied Indie Rock sound, showcasing a quickly growing style bouncing between Summer pop anthems to heavier, fuzzier sounds - all while trying to perfect direct, sharp relentless ear-worms.
The band have earned critical acclaim from blogs and music tastemakers both internationally and in Ireland, leading to a busy summer of festivals, Supporting Hippo Campus, The Parrots and The Frank and Walters, a co-headline tour and regular local and national radio play on Spin1038, 98fm, Nova and being included on RTE 2fm's Rising Playlist and BBC ATL, culminating in their biggest headline show in The Academy 2 with MCD.
Young Earth are currently planning a UK & Irish Tour for the release of their new single, Lose You - a new direction for the band which fuses both sides of their sound - loud riffs and hooky choruses.
Press for Young Earth:
"Young Earth peddle an intoxicating variety of Indie Rock, Choc-filled with hooks and infectious melodies" - Hotpress
"These four lads from Dublin sound like a well-oiled machine - definitely ones to watch." - BBC ATL
"Destined to make an impact well beyond the reaches of their hometown...an authentic rock and roll swagger over some seriously infectious melodies" - Tenement TV
"Young Earth produce ear worms which stay with you well after you've put down your headphones". - "Bitter Sweet Symphonies
"A rock 'n' roll infused bone shaker, Young Earth's 'Got A Secret' is upfront no nonsense indie music." -The Last Mixed Tape
"Needs to be heard with the volume turned right up....catchy as hell" - Joe.ie
"Tallaght indie-pop newcomers Young Earth are a band well capable to knocking out killer harmonies and melodies" - Jim Carroll, Irish Times (On the Record)
"Frequency Illusion is one of the best EPs I've heard all year. Young Earth have dazzled and shone and amazed with this debut offering, and yep, this is their debut. This young band has delivered tremendously with this. This is great. Listen to it now. Right now. Become a fan. Recommend the band to people. You will be seen as a god." - Sounds Good
