Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
Lectionary: 17
A Reading for the Gospel according to Luke
Each year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the feast
of Passover,
and when he was twelve years old,
they went up according to festival custom.
After they had completed its days, as they were returning,
the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem,
but his parents did not know it.
Thinking that he was in the caravan,
they journeyed for a day
and looked for him among their relatives and acquaintances,
but not finding him,
they returned to Jerusalem to look for him.
After three days they found him in the temple,
sitting in the midst of the teachers,
listening to them and asking them questions,
and all who heard him were astounded
at his understanding and his answers.
When his parents saw him,
they were astonished,
and his mother said to him,
"Son, why have you done this to us?
Your father and I have been looking for you with great anxiety."
And he said to them,
"Why were you looking for me?
Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"
But they did not understand what he said to them.
He went down with them and came to Nazareth,
and was obedient to them;
and his mother kept all these things in her heart.
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and favor
before God and man.
Salesian Sunday Reflection
Feast of the Holy Family
In today's Gospel we experience Jesus telling Mary and Joseph that He must be in his 'Father's house', yet he remains obedient to his parents. St. Francis de Sales notes:
God draws us by special attractions. If the attraction comes from God, it leads you to 'loving obedience'. In doing God's will, 'loving obedience' undertakes a command lovingly, no matter how difficult it may be. We desire that God take all our affections and actions, and shape them. This road will surely lead you to reap a harvest of blessings.
In the Scriptures, Jesus tells us often that He came not to do His own will but the will of His Father. During His mortal life, Jesus also lovingly obeyed His parents and others. Our Savior now asks of us to imitate the loving obedience that He rendered, not only to the Divine good will, but also to His earthly parents. Joseph and Mary received great joy because they helped Him, and remained constantly in His presence.
What causes us to be inconstant and changeable in our moods to love and serve God? It is the diversity of our desires. Constant mood swings come from our inordinate desires. Holy love has only one desire: to love and serve God, who desires we have a tranquil spirit, and experience in this world a slight foretaste of eternal joy.
Evenness of mind and heart is the most necessary virtue for the stability of moods that leads to holiness. One way to achieve evenness and stability of moods in our lives is to have a daily routine of mental prayer and other activities that sustain our well being: eating, sleeping, and exercise. Be faithful to God's wishes and commands, as the bees do with their queen. Then you will live firm and unwavering in your resolution to love God's will as Jesus did: constantly, courageously, hardily, and ardently.

The truck industry is becoming increasingly customer oriented with highly specialized technical solutions. A number of more of less conflicting criteria must be handled simultaneously where customers may appreciate different qualities differently depending on, e.g., the environment in which they operate and their transport mission.
The configuration problem can be formulated as a large-scale multi-objective optimization problem, which also possesses simulation-based objective function calculations.
In cooperation with Volvo 3P and ITWM Kaiserslautern we investigate this problem in a project funded by Volvo 3P.

Pam & Tyler's East End Wedding in Toronto
And although Catherine & Kelly are the first wedding we ever ended up shooting together, Pam & Tyler were the first people we booked a year in advance. When our friend told us about his friends looking for a wedding photographer we didn't know where we would be at that time, or what we'd be doing (we hadn't even graduated yet!), but what we did know is that we wanted to do it!
When people ask us how we came to be we always explain how we all went to Sheridan College together, studied photography, laughed, cried, and died in the print labs at 6AM or 11PM on any given night, and eventually expressed to each other that we wanted to shoot weddings after graduating. And that's what we did. That's what we do.
Even when we first talked to P + T and tried our best to explain to them that although we haven't shot a single wedding yet we know we can do it, and we know it'll be great; they put their complete faith into us and trusted us to shoot for them, even as #newbz (Probably because they're coolest most relaxed people we've ever met, but we like to think we made a good case for ourselves when we met up).
Their wedding took place at Merchants of Green Coffee in Toronto; the tables in the shop were pushed to the sides to make space for people to walk freely, and the ceremony was on their small stage in the corner of the shop. After the ceremony two things happened: food and dancing. There was no formal sit down dinner but better yet a Caplansky's food truck, ice cream truck, a popcorn machine, and a cotton candy maker for guests to visit when they wish. Have we mentioned they're the most relaxed people we've ever met?

(shot by Hannah + Stef)
Infinite thanks to Pam + Tyler for trusting us and bringing us along to this insanely fun wedding!
(Extra thanks from Stef because I shot this wedding 1 day after returning from vacation and shooting through the night 100% helped with my jetlag!)

Sweet autumn clematis is out in all its seasonal splendor, vines twining through shrubbery or spilling over fences, a mass of fragrant white flowers. Goldenrod and asters, pairings of yellow and lavender or deep purple, make showy displays in the garden and in the wild. Sunflowers and corn are "as high as an elephant's eye," as Curly sang in "Oklahoma!" (Just fact-checked and found scenes from "Oklahoma!" on YouTube. Gordon MacRae is as handsome and Shirley Jones as beautiful as I remembered them. So is the music, Rodgers and Hammerstein's first collaboration.)
I am sad to report that Jane Farrow died last Friday in Florida. She and Ted were inspirational to me when I moved here and met them in 1982. They had Tashtego back then, and so much style and pizzazz. They were the embodiment of all I admired from art school, with their love of modern design and art, plus the warmth and graciousness that made everyone feel so welcome in their orbit. Jane never lost a bit of it as she aged. She remained as vivacious and fun as ever, and much loved. Who could leave a better legacy than that?
The Derby began at 12:01 Sunday morning. It was clear with a full moon. I wish all participants good weather and good fishing.

Wednesday, Sept. 20, Alison Levy, health journalist, and Liz Witham, environmental film producer, will lead a discussion about climate change and how it relates to health.
FYI: Coming up, the library will show a live simulcast featuring Dr. Atul Gawande, author of "Being Mortal," on Monday, Sept. 25, at 5 pm. Sign up at the library.
I have spent much of the past two weekends obsessed with news coverage of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma. It made me wonder about our own storm preparedness here in West Tisbury, so I called John Christensen, director of the Emergency Management Committee. His committee and those from other towns across the Island work regularly with Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency to update plans, equipment, and training. The Oak Bluffs School would become a shelter, and West Tisbury emergency personnel would set up in the Public Safety Building, Station 2. The Island shelter will allow you to bring your pets.
The good news is that we are inland and high enough in elevation that storm flooding is unlikely to affect us. The marshes along our shoreline are also protective. There are a couple of spots on Tiah's Cove Road and along the great ponds that might flood in a Category 4 storm, but mostly what we can expect is wind and salt damage, trees down, losing our electricity. There are plans for clearing up after the storm with heavy machinery and chainsaws.
John said what is most important is basically common sense. Don't wait till the last minute before a storm; these are things that are easy to do to be prepared. Make sure to keep some canned food and bottled water on hand. Have flashlights and a battery-operated radio, with extra batteries. Refill prescriptions regularly. Keep your car filled up with gas. Have leashes/halters and carriers for your pets, and extra pet food. If we are really getting a storm, fill your bathtub and big pots with water. Bring in your outdoor furniture and flowerpots. Check on your neighbors.
We are lucky to live in a place where most of us are used to being independent and practical, used to planning ahead, used to working together, and looking out for one another. Still, my heart goes out to so many people who have lost everything in these storms, here and across the Caribbean, as well as the floods and earthquakes in Mexico and Asia. The power of nature is awesome. And humbling.

Surrounds | Surrounds, explores the objecthood and history of the photographic backdrop. Backdrops consisting of photographs of idealized landscapes, utopian worlds or romanticized environments act as objects of transportation. Similar to most photography, these backdrops' purpose is to exist as a false contextual object in the aid of producing a flawless, innocently, cliché portrait. In this series, the object of a photographic backdrop is transformed into something that it was never meant to be, a sculptural subject. By incorporating hints of photographic studio equipment and digital aesthetic fads, I visually exam nostalgia associate with the use of photographic backdrops as well as the contemporary equivalent to the backdrop, digital post production by subtly incorporating humorous digital trends. www.kaleeappleton.com

John Banville's recent book, The Sea (Knopf 2005), received rave reviews and the prestigious Man Booker Prize. He has been compared to Nabokov for his poetic style, but Cormac McCarthy also comes to mind; both writers can capture the commonplace and elevate it to tragic levels with precise lyrical prose. Plot is not Banville's strength and he recently dismissed the novel as an "uninteresting art form." Thus his book is more a disturbing meditation than a plot-driven narrative. The main character, art critic and recent widower Max Morden, is not particularly likeable. The presence of the sea acts as a metaphor for the ebb and flow of life.
Max, a middle-aged Irishman, has come back to a seaside town where he spent his summer holidays as a child and met the Graces, a dramatic family including the rebellious Chloe, her seductive mother and a mute twin brother, Myles. The novel explores his childhood memories of the Graces or "gods" as they are called, the memories his late wife--Anna--plus the combative relationship with his daughter, Claire, who wants to pull him from his grief. The past beats inside Max "like a second heart." At times, The Sea suggests a raging monologue from a Beckett novel.
Banville jumps back and forth in time throughout the novel, often showing Max's relationship with Anna and her stoic struggle with a terminal illness. Max got Anna's money but did he ever really love her? There is nothing romantic or heroic about Max.
Max doesn't trust his own memory, which makes him at times, an unreliable narrator. This and the lack of any action-driven plot may bore some American readers. The power of the book lies in the lyrical prose and the interior memories. As a stylist, Banville has few peers. Each precise sentence can unlock a feeling, and he isn't afraid to use words that may drive his readers to the dictionary.
Though Max is bitter and judgmental, anyone who has lost someone close may feel a kinship with Max, whose grief is revealed gradually, along with his penchant for alcohol. At times, he wishes his wife were a ghost and would return. Her death isn't the only nightmare of the past that confronts him on the shore of this quiet seaside town.
The Sea is a powerful story of loss told in resonant, dazzling language.

What does the month of Adar mean to us?
This has been a week of difficult news with the tragic mass shooting at a High School in Florida and the failure of the Senate to pass a bill that would protect DACA recipients. On the Jewish calendar, however, today is Rosh Chodesh Adar, the first of the Jewish month of Adar, the month in which we celebrate the holiday of Purim. The Talmud teaches, "When the month of Adar enters, we increase in joy". (Talmud, Ta'anit 29a) Adar is joyous and auspicious because the Jews escaped near annihilation at the hands of Haman in the Purim story. The are many joyous dates on the Jewish calendar but none other than Purim affect an entire month.
There is plenty of challenging and disturbing news about immigration and refugees right now, which I could certainly focus on in this update. But in honor of Rosh Hodesh Adar I want to share bits of uplifting news about refugee resettlement this week.
- Since the last email update, President Trump's latest refugee ban has expired, and the administration has begun resuming admissions from the 11 countries that had been affected by the last ban. There will be additional screening measures for people from these countries which will mostly likely mean slow and limited admissions from these countries.
- JSS has been matched and accepted an Iraqi Kurdish family for resettlement and is waiting for travel to be booked so we can welcome this family to our community. Iraq was one of the 11 countries that was part of the last ban so receiving news of an Iraqi arrival is certainly joyous.
- We have good news from one of the Syrian refugee families that I wrote about in my last e-mail, who has been a 'stuck case' (matched for resettlement with JSS but not granted travel). Our resettlement case worker has heard from this family who is in a refugee camp in Jordan. They have been asked to begin their health screening process again, which a positive sign that they may finally be moving toward being granted travel to Madison. We now must simply wait and hope that process continues to move forward.
- Our welcoming congregations program has begun in earnest. Congregation Sha'arei Shamayim is working hard to prepare for the next refugee family to arrive. Meanwhile, a few other communities are in the process of creating infrastructure to take on the pre-arrival tasks for families that will hopefully arrive in the spring. Seasoned JSS volunteers are an integral part of mentoring these communities as they learn the ropes of the resettlement process. It is heartwarming to see new and old volunteers working together to support the program.
- One of our most recent arrivals, a family from Afghanistan, just welcomed a new baby. The baby and mom are doing well and celebrating their growing family in their new home.
- Three Syrian families we welcomed in December and January of last year are applying for Green Cards now that they have passed their one-year anniversary in this country.
May this joyous news be just the beginning. The Book of Esther teaches that about the month of Adar that "The month was reversed for them from grief to joy". (Book of Esther, 9:22) So too may we continue to work together to reverse the tide for refugees and immigrants in our country.
Hodesh Tov and Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Renee Bauer
Take Action
Even though the Senate voted down the immigration bill that would have protected dreamers we must continue to raise our voices in support of DACA recipients. It is critical that our national leaders find legislative solutions that reflect our commitment to family unity and offer a pathway to citizenship for as many dreamers as possible – without jeopardizing other immigrant populations. Our elected leaders also need to hear that their constituents urge them to oppose any proposal that would prevent family unification, deprive dreamers of an opportunity to pursue a pathway to citizenship, or increase the immigration detention, deportation, and border militarization machine.

Exploring Discovery – demystifying the breadth and depth of discovery
Facet Publishing have announced the release of Ken Varnum's new edited collection Exploring Discovery
We are in a new age of discovery. Not one recalled from history books, where exploration of the physical world proceeded apace, but an age where the incredible breadth and depth of knowledge is just as mysterious to the typical researcher. The new age of discovery builds on decades of advancements in handling metadata and full text in digital formats, natural language process
ing, keyword searching, and information science. The pace of change in the last half-century has been dizzying, enabling library technologists to enable information discovery across multiple scales, with tools and processes specific to each.
The concept of discovery covers scales from billions of items in the large web-scale systems to just hundreds of items at the other end of the scale in purpose-built discovery tools for an individual library. In his new book, editor Ken Varnum brings together leading experts to explore both discovery tools that have been made to enable in-depth access to relatively narrow information silos, as well as tools that enable exploration of broad swathes of digital and off-line content.
Using a series of case studies, Exploring Discovery illustrates the interfaces and technologies that can be used by libraries today and examines the future of discovery. Divided into four sections, I) Vended Discovery Systems, II) Custom Discovery Systems, III) Interfaces, IV) Content and Metadata, the book covers key topics including:
- choosing a web-scale discovery system
- libraries, archives and museums sharing a single discovery tool
- managing internal development requirements with the constraints of a small or medium-sized library
- integrating discovery to improve user experience
- custom discovery systems built with open-source software
- metadata challenges in discovery services
- open access and discovery tools
- regional aggregation and discovery of digital collections.
The Midwest Book Review said, "Exploring Discovery is easy to dip into as needed, and provides a comprehensive examination of discovery services that will prove invaluable to IT, web development, electronic resource management, and technical services staff".

Enhance your library's web-scale discovery systems
New from Facet Publishing: Managing Metadata in Web-scale Discovery Systems edited by Louise F. Spiteri, Dalhousie University.
Libraries are increasingly using web-scale discovery systems to help clients find a wide assortment of library materials, including books, journal articles, special collections, archival collections, videos, music and open access collections. Depending on the library material catalogued, the discovery system might need to negotiate different metadata standards, such as AACR, RDA, RAD, FOAF, VRA Core, METS, MODS, RDF and more.
With this new book, you can harness the power of linked data and web-scale discovery systems to manage and link widely varied content across your library collection.
Editor Louise Spiteri and a range of international experts show you how to:
- maximize the effectiveness of web-scale discovery systems
- provide a smooth and seamless discovery experience to your users
- help users conduct searches that yield relevant results
- manage the sheer volume of items to which you can provide access, so your users can actually find what they need
- maintain shared records that reflect the needs, languages, and identities of culturally and ethnically varied communities
- manage metadata both within, across, and outside, library discovery tools by converting your library metadata to linked open data that all systems can access
- manage user generated metadata from external services such as Goodreads and LibraryThing
- mine user generated metadata to better serve your users in areas such as collection development or readers' advisory.
The book will be essential reading for cataloguers, technical services and systems librarians and library and information science students studying modules on metadata, cataloguing, systems design, data management, and digital libraries. It will also be of interest to those managing metadata in archives, museums and other cultural heritage institutions.

The Siyabona Trust
In 2001, four of our church members visited a crèche in Natal, South Africa and were appalled at the conditions the children had to endure. After making in depth enquiries they discovered that their guide, Reg Bartlett, a truly Christian gentleman, together with three like minded colleagues, had opened a Tribal Heartlands Development Fund with the local bank, the aim being to start with the installation of decent toilets, and thereafter clean up the building and repair and improve the furniture and teaching aids.
On hearing the story, Trinity church members readily agreed to help support this Fund and have done so ever since. The scheme was extended to include a neighbouring crèche where the conditions, if anything, were even worse. The Fund also provided considerable support for aids orphans as well as a nutritious daily feeding scheme.
Unfortunately, Reg died in 2010 but the Fund was taken under the umbrella of The Siyabona Trust administered by Molly and Gordon Bailey who have done wonderful work in the crèches of the area.
Molly and Gordon are committed grassroots community workers who have cashed in their pension and sold their house, investing the proceeds into their community work. They have been instrumental in the formation of the Siyabona Trust which works in very remote areas trying to ensure that children are fed a meal at school, educating crèche teachers, ensuring that the school can meet sanitation and basic hygiene requirements and, most importantly, supporting orphaned children and HIV/AIDS patients.
They have also set up a Youth Living with Purpose programme with the object of addressing the cause rather than the effects. Guiding and scouting programmes have been introduced into the schools and, as well as promoting good citizenship, the members of these groups are encouraged to identify the needy in their respective areas, visit the blind, disabled and sick as well as gathering clothes and food for distribution.
Since they started back in 2001, Trinity Church members have raised well over £13,000 for this amazing work. The church is proud to support such a worthwhile cause and feel it a privilege to be able to help those who are so much worse off than ourselves. We also know for a fact that 100% of any money collected goes directly to where it is needed most.

this is a design analysis of how iPhone X successfully replaced the Home button, and why each new gesture does what it does.
i would like to tell you a story in three acts:
why the Home button's replacement is worse,
why its replacement is better, and
why an alternative solution would have sucked.
i hope this is insightful. please enjoy.
Act 1
in some ways, nothing will ever be as elegant as the Home button.
but first, why was Home even a physical button?
the first iPhone proved that a touchscreen could do anything. before iPhone, smartphones had Qwerty keyboards, green buttons, red buttons, multi-function buttons, menu buttons, back buttons. iPhone replaced all of those with a touchscreen.
but it added the Home button.
why a physical button? why not just have a persistent touchscreen button for closing apps, like a big red "X" in the corner?
physical buttons feel more trustworthy, because they can't disappear.
a new user interface is confusing, and the last thing you need is to get lost and not know how to escape. software buttons disappear and change. even a persistent software "close" button wouldn't feel as trustworthy as a physical button.
the Home button never disappeared, guaranteed. you could trust it to always there for you.
but also, the Home button had absolute power over the screen.
it didn't matter what the screen was doing. it could have been playing a video, loading something, confusing you with a poorly designed user interface, or just frozen. pressing the Home button always killed it, and took you back to a familiar environment. the hardware had total control over the software, massively simplifying the user experience. this was one of the most important hardware-software relationships in all of history.
and it was a lie.
the Home button wasn't actually all-powerful, like how pulling out a video game cartridge literally stops the game from running. closing apps isn't a hardware process. the Home button just sent the software command for "close this app", in a really fancy way. the Home button never was hardware in control of software. it was just an illusion.
but preserving that illusion made iPhone a design triumph.
first, the Home button always worked. no app could disable the Home button or change what it did. the mere fact that this wasn't allowed was part of iPhone's design.
unfortunately, there were exceptions. popup alerts disabled the Home button, and in iOS 10, you pressed the Home button to stop rearranging your iMessage apps. i despised these exceptions, because they broke The Illusion.
second, the Home button worked even if the screen froze. the Home button was just a software command, so it could have frozen too, but iOS was structured to make this happen almost never.
and third, just the fact that the Home button was physically separate from the screen. it suggested it was special and had total control.
the Home button never disappeared, and it felt all-powerful. these key traits made the physical Home button so elegant, and no touchscreen control can match it in these aspects.
so, its replacement… first of all, what do we call it? Apple is clearly avoiding giving this thing a name, constantly saying things like "the bottom edge of the screen".
some people call it the "Home indicator", citing Apple's Human Interface Guidelines. but the "Home indicator" does more than just take you Home, and that name limits your thinking about it. so what should we call it?
i'm calling it the Handlebar. that's because it's a multi-purpose tool that operates on physical movement, just like a real-life handle.
the Handlebar is less elegant for going Home, because it lacks the key traits of a physical button.
first, the Home button never disappeared; the Handlebar can.
no matter what, the Handlebar will always feel less trustworthy than the Home button. that's just because it's software and not hardware, and software controls merely have the ability to disappear.
i'm not even talking about the fact that it does disappear. even if the Handlebar appeared onscreen 100% of the time, it would still feel less trustworthy than the Home button.
it helps that the Handlebar is so persistent about appearing onscreen, even when it has to overlap screen content in an ugly way. but that's how important it is. some people are arguing that the Handlebar is ugly and wishing it didn't have to appear all the time. that's a terrible idea. going Home is extremely common and it needs to be extremely obvious.
at least the Handlebar even exists. iPhone X could have had no Handlebar at all. that would have been a confusing disaster. Windows 8 was a confusing disaster because you had to swipe from all four edges of the screen, but nothing showed you you had to do that. thank god iPhone X shows the Handlebar, and so persistently, or the basic task of going Home would have been confusing as shit.
but alas, the Handlebar does disappear sometimes, like when you're watching a video. thankfully, this only happens rarely and appropriately, and the Human Interface Guidelines discourage it: "Allow auto-hiding of the indicator for accessing the Home screen sparingly. […] This behavior should be enabled only for passive viewing experiences like playing videos or photo slideshows."
second, the Home button felt all-powerful; the Handlebar doesn't.
technically, The Illusion should be equally reliable with both, because they're just delivering the same software command. they should also be equally reliable at killing frozen apps.
but the Handlebar necessarily feels less powerful, just because it isn't physically separate from the screen. that element of The Illusion is just missing.
a third thing: the Handlebar requires learning.
it isn't immediately obvious how to use the Handlebar, because it requires a swipe, not just a tap.
iOS gives you two hints about this.
first, if you stare at the Lock screen for long enough, the Handlebar animates upward. (this motion cue restores the glory of "slide to unlock" from the first iPhone, which you could understand without reading any text.)
second, if you tap the Handlebar in any app, it bounces a little. however, in my experience, this is so subtle that no one sees it. (oddly, if you tap the Handlebar on the Lock screen, nothing happens. it should bounce there too.)
the Home button obviously wins again in this aspect, because it doesn't even require learning.
in these three aspects, the Handlebar is inevitably less elegant than the Home button. no touchscreen gesture can ever match a physical button in these three aspects. these elegancies will go away with the Home button, and the purist in me will always miss them, if just a bit.
Act 2
but the replacement for the Home button ought to be better somehow. if it were worse in every way, why not just have a Home button? why remove one of the best buttons in history?
more screen space is an advantage, but not advantage enough. an extra centimeter of content is worth nothing compared to the elegance of the Home button.
well, the Handlebar does do something better: it rearranges the multitasking actions into a physical space.
the first change is the App Switcher.
you used to open it by double-clicking the Home button, but there was never any sort of reason. the App Switcher wasn't "further Home" beyond the Home screen; it was a separate place.
the Handlebar gesture does something brilliant.
first of all, people keep misunderstanding this gesture, including reviewers. to bring up the App Switcher, you do not swipe up halfway, or do a longer swipe. these are indisputably wrong. i can consistently demonstrate that a short swipe or a long swipe can bring up the App Switcher, and a short swipe or a long swipe can go Home.
you don't swipe up slowly, either. a slow swipe can go Home, and a fast swipe can bring up the App Switcher. distance and speed are both irrelevant. if you write about technology, do your experimenting and test your own words before you preach them as fact!
to bring up the App Switcher, swipe up and stop.
if you swipe up and flick up, you'll go Home. if you swipe up and stop, you'll bring up the App Switcher. the difference is vertical speed when you let go. it's like scrolling; whether the content keeps moving or stays put after you let go.
conceptually, if an app flies upward, it'll close. if you hold it in place so it doesn't fly upward, it'll go into the App Switcher.
Apple itself says to swipe up and pause, which is actually misleading. you don't need to wait. there's a vibration when the App Switcher appears, but that's deceptive—you can let go before that. as long as you stop before letting go, the phone will vibrate after you let go, and bring up the App Switcher.
some people think it's faster to swipe up and then to the side. it isn't. in fact, the app you want to switch to is usually in the center of the screen, so why bother moving your finger to the side and then back again? all you have to do to skip the waiting is swipe up, stop moving, and let go; no sideways movement required.
although, it does make sense that "up and to the side" works, because even though it leaves you with horizontal speed, it removes vertical speed, which is what matters.
so many people misunderstand this gesture. apparently some reviewers just have no ability to correctly identify patterns.
on the other hand, if this gesture has been so hard to figure out, then it's bad design. the feedback isn't being clear enough. in iOS 11.3, the further you swipe up, the shorter the pause before the vibration happens, which might help more people accurately understand this gesture.
but now that we know the gesture, something really interesting happens.
the App Switcher is now a partial version of going Home.
you swipe up like you're going Home, but you stop partway. and from the App Switcher, you can continue Home by swiping up again.
the App Switcher is now in between apps being open and closed, which is genius because that's what apps in the App Switcher are.
this turns iOS into a three-layer cake. you can be in an app, in the App Switcher, or Home. apps and Home are now at opposite extremes, and the App Switcher is in between.
this was possible because Home and the App Switcher both involve shrinking your current app. shrinking it all the way takes you Home. but shrinking it only partially, stopping while it's in the form of a card, brings in other cards from the side, which is the App Switcher.
now that i see this, i can't believe it was any other way before. remember, before iPhone X, the App Switcher was a completely separate place from Home. that makes no sense in comparison. in between is so clearly the right place for the App Switcher.
the second thing the Handlebar changes is direct app-switching.
on previous iPhones, you swiped from the left edge while using Force Touch. (yes, i know it's called 3D Touch on iPhones, but i don't care.) on iPhone X, you slide the Handlebar sideways instead.
the Handlebar gesture is better for two reasons.
first, it follows a design pattern. the Handlebar closes apps and brings up the App Switcher, so it also switches directly between apps; it's a tool for manipulating apps.
second, it follows physical space. the App Switcher shows that recent apps are arranged horizontally, so swiping the Handlebar sideways is just going between them without visiting the App Switcher first.
"Force Swipe" was completely undiscoverable, because it didn't follow any design pattern or mental model. nothing else in iOS required swiping while using Force Touch at the same time. and the established tool for switching apps was the Home button, so you wouldn't even expect to do that with the touchscreen.
i've seen multiple people discover the Handlebar gesture all on their own. it's more discoverable and understandable because of its coherent design.
the Handlebar's advantage is that it unifies the app manipulation model.
apps, the App Switcher, and Home are now a three-layer hierarchy. Home is the bottom. the App Switcher is the middle, and you get there by stopping on your way to the bottom. apps are the top, and you can move within that layer by going sideways.
and, there are now continuous transitions between layers. you can transition between the App Switcher and direct app-switching, and from the App Switcher to the Home screen, by physically moving an app up or down to the layer you want. these transitions didn't exist—and couldn't exist—before.
these changes make app manipulation more coherent.
the problem with double-clicking the Home button and Force Swipe is that they were one-off ideas. one-off ideas are individual solutions to individual problems. one-off ideas aren't discoverable, and more importantly, they have no paradigm to add deeper meaning to them. you can't generalize any knowledge from them, or understand how they work. you can only memorize them.
the Handlebar gestures can be not just memorized, but understood. the Handlebar shares common principles between multiple actions, establishing a paradigm. and each gesture has a reason why it does what it does, and an explanation how it relates to the others.
look, it's inevitable that Android phones are going to rip off iPhone X's gestures this year. but for fuck's sake, copy them correctly. one Android phone has already done it wrong. you can't just imitate the motions. you need to understand how and why the gestures work, and copy the entire physical space.
the biggest consequence of iPhone X is not the extra screen space. it is the rethinking of app manipulation in iOS.
Act 3
if you just want to make a phone with smaller bezels, you don't need to bother inventing new gestures or redesigning the app manipulation model. all you have to do is put a virtual Home button on the screen.
all the rumors and concepts for iPhone X just assumed it would have a virtual Home button. and i mean all of them. everyone just assumed the same thing because it was the most obvious solution.
a virtual Home button would narrow the bezels because the button could be smaller than a physical button, and it could overlap the content and disappear sometimes. in fact, the Handlebar could have looked exactly as it does now, except rather than using swipes, it could have used tap, double-tap, and tap-and-hold instead. that would have been a virtual Home button.
of course Apple considered that. but instead, they created a design that unified all the app manipulation actions, taking full advantage of touch. a virtual Home button could never have done that. people who are still wishing iPhone X had a virtual Home button are completely missing the point.
and yet, a virtual Home button is exactly what Android did years ago.
credit to Android phones for shrinking their bezels way before iPhones did. but when they took out their physical Home, Back, and Recents buttons, they just replaced them with virtual buttons that do the exact same things. you still tap, double-tap, and tap-and-hold them just like physical buttons.
and while this may work fine, what it totally lacks is rethinking.
replacing physical buttons with a touchscreen gives you a huge opportunity to completely reimagine all your basic interactions. Android didn't do that.
and so, on Android, there is no relationship between the Home screen and the Recents screen, and there is no coherent model for switching directly between apps, and there is nothing else that goes beyond physical buttons.
as for direct app-switching, Android Nougat added the ability to switch to your previous app by tapping the Recents button twice. that's crappy. it makes no sense because it doesn't operate on any coherent model. and it isn't discoverable. it's a one-off idea, like Force Swipe on previous iPhones.
this is a perfect example of being limited by old thinking. Android wouldn't even be thinking of features like this if they hadn't gone with virtual buttons. virtual buttons carry over all the limitations of physical buttons, and now they're stuck in that thinking as they try to add new features.
a lack of rethinking also builds up cruft.
earlier, i suggested a Home button that could overlap the content, and disappear sometimes. that is exactly what the Samsung Galaxy S8 does.
the spot where the Home button appears is pressure-sensitive. when the button appears, tapping or pressing hard on it goes Home. when the button disappears, tapping that spot taps whatever's onscreen, whether it's another button, or nothing at all; pressing hard in that same spot activates an invisible Home button.
that isn't built for the future. it might work fine for now, but will it in ten years? people will wonder why you have to press hard on an invisible button in a specific spot for such a basic action.
virtual Home buttons are the result of past-anchored thinking. past-anchored thinking straps you to complexity, rather than freeing you from it.
the same goes for all the iPhone X concepts that added extra controls in the bezel area. if you were designing a smartphone from scratch today, you wouldn't make a section of the screen that worked separately from the rest. it might be counterintuitive, but just extending the content without adding more abilities is a better design, because it stays free of carryovers from the past.
Apple didn't give iPhone X a past-anchored design. they didn't slap a virtual Home button on it and call it a day. the Handlebar and its new app manipulation model were born for the world of touch, without carryovers from physical buttons. this design unifies existing actions and prevents cruft. this design will make sense in the future, as if it were designed from the future.
this shows Apple's values. they don't just care superficially about checklist features like narrower bezels. they care about good design.
the Home button was extraordinarily elegant for going Home, and nothing will ever match it at that job. but the Handlebar's advantage is that it unifies the app manipulation model around a consistent pattern and a coherent space. a virtual Home button couldn't have done that, which is why iPhone X doesn't have one.
what pleases me is that the replacement for the Home button isn't anchored in the past. it's setting the path for the future, so i would want it to do some great things a Home button could never do. luckily, the Handlebar is exactly that.

Karen Gravano is a legendary American reality television show star. She rose to fame as a result of her appearance in Mob Wives. The reality show is usually aired on VH1. Other than that, she is the daughter of Salvatore Sammy Gravano. Since he was an underboss of the Gambino crime family, he caught the attention of many. That to some extent contributed to the fame of Karen. She tells the life of being a member of a mafia family. How has sharing her experience added to her current net worth? Read on because we will unveil not only Karen Gravano's net worth in 2019 and earnings but also the details of her life.
Early Life
Karen Gravano was born in 1972 on 8th May to Sammy Gravano together with Debra Scibetta. Her place of birth was Brooklyn, New York City, New York. He was born along with his brother whose name is Gerard Gravano. As earlier mentioned, his dad was a criminal. Besides working with the crime family, he also was an informant of the federal as well. He is currently serving his 19-year imprisonment. That is an understatement given that he carried out 19 murders. That was the favor he received for being an informant.
Her education details are not available to the public.
For seven years, Karen had an affair with a married man. His name was Lee, and he was the husband of another reality star called Drita D'Avanazo. As a result of that, the two ladies usually don't get along that well.
She has a daughter called Karina. She sired her together with David Seabrook. The lady who was born in 1999 on 7th July is an Instagram personality who resides in Arizona. Before their breakup, the two appeared on Mob Wives. During the third season, the fact that David was cheating came to light. They were once involved in Sammy's drug ring as well. On that note that was the reason as to why she was on probation for about three years.
As of now, Gravano and Strom are dating. That has been the case since 2013. It is the reason why Karen went to New York.
As a television star, her debut appearance was in 2011 on 17th April in Mob Wives. That is the same day when the reality television show premiered. As soon as it premiered, it became a hit. The life of wives amounting to seven were telling their story. It was about their lives after the imprisonments of their husband due to their association with Mafia. Her partner was Raiola, but she died when she was 55.
She is the author of Mob Daughter: The Mafia, Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and Me (2012). Presently, Karen owns a day spa.
Awards & Achievements
Karen Gravano has achieved a lot over the years. The fact that she is yet to receive an award cannot change that because those who have seen her perform know her capabilities all too well.
Net Worth of Karen Gravano
Karen Gravano net worth is estimated to be around $1.5 million. She made most of her money by appearing on the reality television show, Mob Wives. Her other source of income is her day spa. In addition to that, she has earned from the sales of his book. That explains how the star has accumulated her current net worth.
Karen Gravano is a famous reality television star and author. Besides that, she is licensed to perform aesthetics. The woman also owns a spa. Her father's criminal record did not stop her from achieving. Although she at one point got involved, she decided to change for the better.

Journal of
continued on page 24
the influential Southern District of New
York, designated the vote of a would-be buyer carrying out a loan-to-own
strategy, finding voting disqualification
appropriate when a party acts in bad
faith and with ulterior motives. The court
found that designation "was intended to
apply to those who were not attempting
to protect their own proper interests,
but who were, instead, attempting to
obtain some benefit to which they were
not entitled." 11 Therefore, a Bankruptcy
Court may designate a vote of an entity
that votes with an "ulterior motive," that
is, an entity with "an interest other than
an interest as a creditor" that "voted
with such an impermissible motive." 12
In DBSD, the 2nd Circuit addressed thesituation where an indirect competitorof the debtor who was also a part-owner of a direct competitor bought ablocking position in a class of claims(actually, all of the claims) after a planhad been proposed with the intentionnot to maximize its return on the debt,but to enter into a strategic transactionwith the debtor. The would-be buyerwas attempting to use its creditor statusas an advantage compared to simplyproposing a separate plan or makinga traditional bid for the company. "Ineffect, [the buyer] purchased the claimsas votes it could use as levers to bendthe bankruptcy process toward itsown strategic objective of acquiring[the debtor's economic] rights, nottoward protecting its claim." 13
The court noted significant evidence of
"ulterior motive," including the creditor's
admissions in court regarding its
position as a competitor of the debtor,
its willingness to overpay for the claims
it bought, its attempt to propose its own
plan (including filing the alternate plan
during the exclusivity period), and its
internal communications, which showed
a desire "to obtain a blocking position"
and "control the bankruptcy process." 14
As a result, the court disqualified the
creditor's vote. In doing so, however,
the court emphasized that its opinion
imposed no categorical prohibition on
purchasing claims with acquisitive or
other strategic intentions. The court also
noted that whether a vote should be
designated is a fact-intensive question.
Fortunately for distressed debt buyers
implementing loan-to-own strategies,
DBSD has not resulted in widespread
vote designations by other courts.
Only a few cases have relied on
DBSD in concluding that a creditor's
vote was cast in bad faith, justifying
designation, and those decisions have
not involved loan-to-own situations.
In In re RLD, Inc., 15 for example, a
California Bankruptcy Court found that
a secured creditor, by casting a vote
to fix its own mistake, had an ulterior
motive permitting disqualification. The
issue involved two debtors in separate
bankruptcies who were co-obligors
on a note and who filed Chapter 11
plans that were each contingent on
approval of the other's plan. The lender
had misunderstood the interest rate
it was being paid in the first case.
Recognizing its mistake too late to
take action in the first case, the lender
objected to the plan in the second
case in an attempt to fix the error. The
court concluded that the lender had an
ulterior motive because "by objecting
to and voting against the [second] plan,
the effect the [lender] seeks to achieve
is to render the [first] plan meaningless
and thereby undo its mistake."
In addition, a Connecticut Bankruptcy
Court disregarded a creditor's vote in

Thylacinus cynocephalus
fourth song
this place is a fragile thing; break
a twig and a bone snaps, too loud
for this forest. you can only speak
when it rains, but just some
small, breathy words;
these old trees won't keep
our secrets, at least the ones worth
telling. and the times i do talk,
release the noises that sleep
so fitfully in my throat, some beast
comes down to the river, and i feel my figure
fading to buzz.
Bufo marinus
second song
i demand a downpour. master of wet
earth and mud puddles, spreading legs out
like sickness. the rain will quench hunger,
thirst, the starving for a red mass
still pumping, but i cannot drown here.
the sky obeys me, land-bound and brown
speck of dust over a field of crunched
corpses; you can soar all you like
but in the end, lightning will always hit
what's highest. you think the rains will never come.
they will come.

Reuters / Brendan McDermid
- Twitter's turnaround from its spam struggles and the 2016 election is going faster than Wall Street has noticed, Goldman Sachs says.
- The bank raised its price target to $55 — 25% above current prices.
- Shares rose 2% following the bank's price-target increase.
- Follow Twitter's stock price in real-time here.
Twitter has been a tear this year — with shares soaring 82% to hit their highest price in over three years — and Goldman Sachs says the gains may not be done yet.
The bank on Thursday raised its target price for the social-media stock to $55 from $40 — a full 25% above where shares were trading — saying Twitter is doing better on its turnaround than the rest of Wall Street gives it credit for.
"We continue to believe that consensus expectations underestimate Twitter's ability to 1) drive incremental engagement through new features and information quality initiatives, 2) better monetize engagement as advertisers leverage newer targeting and measurement functionality, and 3) show significant operating expense leverage as incremental revenue flows to the bottom-line," Heath Terry, the bank's tech analyst, told clients in a note.
Twitter has had a choppy week, as reports of its upcoming purge of spam and inactive accounts worried investors that its closely-watched active users metrics could be be impacted. Earlier this week, the Washington Post quoted an anonymous company source who said the account deletions could affect the user metric when it reports earnings on Friday, July 27. Twitter's CFO publicly rebuked those claims.
"This is nothing new and is part of our ongoing work to improve the health of the public conversation on Twitter," Ian Plunkett, a company spokesperson, told Business Insider. "We have not and do not include spam accounts that we have identified in the active user numbers that we report to shareholders."
Goldman agrees with Twitter's assessment, saying its own research verifies what the company claims.
"While concerns around the impact the company's information quality initiatives could have on reported user metrics have weighed on the stock in recent days, our advertiser checks and 3rd party traffic data suggest the impact of these ongoing efforts on user and advertiser engagement will be net positive," the bank said.
Even as Twitter becomes more expensive relative to its earnings — it is trading at 22 times its estimated 2019 EBITDA, compared with about 16 for its peers in the tech sector — Goldman says the increasing revenue and profit from its turnaround outweigh the risk of a stretched valuation.
"We believe the significant upside potential to those estimates, and additional option value in Twitter as a platform more than justify that premium multiple," Terry wrote.
Shares of Twitter rose 2% in trading Thursday, and were up 132% in the past year.

In the source tab you can deeply customize the type of content that you want to display inside a grid.
We have added all options which Wordpress offers to query the content from post types. There isn't any limitation and the possibilities are infinite.
You will be able to filter you content by any category(ies), status, author(s), meta key(s), etc...
N.B : By default the grid will display all the posts ordered by date in descending order (...,4,3,2,1,0).
Item Number correspond to the number of elements initially loaded in the grid:
- -1 : load all posts from the selected post type
- 0 : Correspond to the default number of "post per page" set in the native Wordpress settings (Wordpress Settings > Reading)
Post type correspond to the main content you want to load in the grid like your post(blog), portfolio, product,...
You can add multiple post types per grid (unlimited number).
Post status correspond to the current post status you want to make appear in the grid.
By default publish statut is enable. But if you want, for example, to only display your futur blog posts (which you are currently writing) you can select "pending" or "draft" status.
Category Filter - In this section you can select several categories in order to filter the grid by the selected categories.
When one or more categories are selected then the grid with only display these categories from the current post type(s).

On the 6th of March, 1915, Dr. N. M. Gilder died at his home, in Gatesville, Tex. He was one of the first to enlist when Texas called for troops to defend the Southern Confederacy, and he became a member of Company F, 1st Texas Regiment, organized by Colonel Wigfall near Richmond, Va. Then the 1st, 4th, and 5th Texas Regiments and Hampton's Legion were organized into the Texas Brigade, which so mobly defended our cause in the many bloody encounters of the Army of Northern Virginia. Dr. Gilder went through it all, serving his country from first to last. Those who knew him during those trying times testify that he was a true soldier of the South, always ready to do his duty.

Many new parts of this great college. Everything feels new. Reasonable cost structure.Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™
Awesome School, I am in the Hotel Motel and Restaurant program, Culinary side.Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™
School is ok. Some teachers are good others are bad. You pay other people for you to teach yourself. Do not take A & P here Lab sucks you sit there and you don't even get to dissect anything. I re took the class because they said my lab wasn't good enough from my previous school. Yet this lab you don't do anything and the reason is because the college can't afford it because ppl aren't enrolling. And if you need to get a hold of a professor that you have online classes with good luck it wouldn't happen. I have heard great praise about the nursing program. But my first semester at this college and I couldn't be more disappointed.Source of the review: Google Places, Google Maps™
Great atmosphere and truly wonderful faculty. For the first time college students this is a great place for them to get into the swing of college life while working towards a college degree or transferable credits.

"With photography, you start with the chaotic world around you," began Andrew O'Brien in his presentation on his art show titled Curtain Wall. O'Brien's work is currently on display in the Kresge Library art gallery, and on the evening of October 25, he discussed the ideas and interests that drove him to take these photos.
The photographs hanging in the gallery are reflections on reflections, all taken in a building full of gold windows. This building used to be a Blue Cross in downtown Chattanooga, but it is now The Westin Hotel. O'Brien's chief interest in it was how it interacted with the landscape. The glass is gold with a greenish tinge, affecting both the inside of the building and the outside. The building itself is incredibly impersonal from an outsider's perspective. Anyone looking in sees merely their own reflection and cannot return the gaze of anyone looking out.
In exploring the relationship between the architecture and the landscape, O'Brien says it "magnifies, refracts, distorts," sucking in the landscape while simultaneously pushing itself out onto it.
O'Brien's initial attraction to the building stemmed from his affinity for creating things out of his immediate surroundings. "I don't normally seek out exotic subjects. I like when you can find strange [things] in the places you drive by everyday."
O'Brien took all of the photos on one day, going into the abandoned building and photographing things of interest. For him, it was a weird and somewhat eerie experience. "One day, wandering around, feeling like I was the last person on earth," he said in reference to the experience. The architecture of this particular building made him feel like he was "walking into a spaceship."
The architect, John Portman, is the same person who designs hotels like the Marriott. Portman's designs often utilize hollow cores, which form huge atriums and make the buildings inward functioning instead of outward functioning. The gold building was designed in a similar way, which makes walking into it an otherworldly experience.
O'Brien's photos reflect this inward focus, but they also hold it in tension with the more mundane aspects of the building. Several of the photographs feature common blinds and their chain pulls. "I got really seduced by those blinds," O'Brien remarked. The blinds provide a strong sense of verticality in the photographs, placing the viewer in a specific spot in space and time.
However, not all of the photographs are that focused. Some are disorienting, not allowing the viewer to place them. For example, one of the photographs is composed of a huge, hazy, black thing that takes up almost all of the space within the frame. It looks almost like an elevator shaft, but the composition of the photo throws the viewer off and leaves them wondering what it really is.
Another example is the photograph that was featured on the postcards sent to students' mailboxes inviting them to the show. The way the reflections work in the photographs is an enigma, as it is hard to tell whether the windows are reflecting onto the landscape outside, or the landscape is being viewed through the window and the windows on the other side are reflecting back onto it. Because of their multi-layered nature, the photographs can be somewhat bewildering. "You let us in on the trick sometimes, and then you're like, 'But what if you don't know?'" remarked Dr. Elissa Weichbrodt during the artist interview.
The name of this exhibit lends to the intrigue of the entire show. Curtain Wall is a verbal tension between two ideas - the word "curtain" represents an opening and the word "wall" represents an obstruction. O'Brien's photographs beautifully reflect the tension of these ideas, communicating to the viewer that there is beauty in the mundane, but also in the otherworldly.

Plans to stage fireworks and the American Pie Fourth of July in Orange Park have fizzled for this year, but a civic group plans to stage an Independence Day event in Green Cove Springs that will end with a fireworks display.
In Orange Park, not enough funds were raised in a last-minute effort to save the American Pie event and fireworks, Mayor Bob Standifer recently told the Town Council.
Standifer said $4,000 to $5,000 had been raised, but the fireworks were estimated to cost about $25,000.
The council cut funding last summer for the fireworks, part of the American Pie celebration at Moosehaven for the past nine years. Tough economic times were to blame.
Jim Cribb, longtime co-chairman of the event and president of the Orange Park Rotary, said later that the fireworks were essential to the rest of the American Pie event. "Without the fireworks, it won't go. They're the draw," he said.
The council agreed to pay for police, fire and public works support for the event. But Cribb said another $14,000 in support still would be needed. He had hoped to find that from community sponsors.
Meanwhile, the Green Cove Springs Lions Club is planning a a two-day family-oriented Fourth of July celebration on the St. Johns River in Spring Park.
Billed as "A Day in the Park," the event is 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 3, and noon to 10 p.m. Sunday, July 4. Scheduled are a children's activities area, car and truck show, bike show, craft and vendor booths, health information and more, according to a news release.
Also, the Lions will offer barbecue chicken, pulled pork or beef platter for $7 or rib platter for $10, provided by Allen's BBQ; deli sandwich plates for $5.50; and other culinary treats.
For more information about the Green Cove Springs event, people can contact Tricia Hopkins at 248-8809.


text: EVALUATION OF RHETORICAL TACTICS Brutus' and Marc Antony's Speeches to the Plebeians at the Forum after Julius Caesar's Murder by the Conspirators Led by Brutus and President Bush Address to the Nation after 9/11 Terrorists Attack A PowerPoint Presentation by John C. Tacapan Adjunct Faculty, LBCC AP English Language Teacher, DHS COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS Overview This specific lesson will be used to develop students' abilities to evaluate information and viewpoints from diverse sources and formats, assessing credibility and accuracy, weighing premises and evidence, and developing an independent point of view. • Standards SL.11-12.2. Integrate multiple sources of information presented in diverse formats and media (e.g., visually, quantitatively, orally) in order to make informed decisions and solve problems, evaluating the credibility and accuracy of each source and noting any discrepancies among the data. • Standards SL.11-12.3. Evaluate a speaker's point of view, reasoning, and use of evidence and rhetoric, assessing the stance, premises, links among ideas, word choice, points of emphasis, and tone used. OBJECTIVES • Students will explore the difference between the three classic rhetorical styles, ethos, pathos, and logos, evaluating how speakers establish (or lose) credibility, contrasting two speakers' treatment of the same subject, and assessing stance, premises, links among ideas, diction, tone, and other features of the speaker's argument. SUPPLIES NEEDED • Students should be provided with print copies of the three following speeches: Marcus Brutus, speech to the plebeians from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Act III, scene ii. Marc Antony, speech to the plebeians from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, Act III, scene ii, President George W. Bush Address to the Nation, and Video of the three speeches: o Speech 1: Brutus (BBC Version) – speech starts at 3:15 and goes until approximately 7:27. Note: Speaker has bloody hands. Caesar's (toga-shrouded) body is brought out and the toga is bloody. o Speech 2: Marc Antony (Marlon Brando) o Address to the Nation: President G. W. Bush ACTIVITY TWO • Be a Plebeian! In this activity, students will evaluate the effectiveness of two different speakers, both of whom have come to speak about the same subject: the murder of Gaius Julius Caesar. Those who have read and who have seen Julius Caesar will be familiar with these speeches, but previous knowledge other than background (presented in the following slides) is not necessary for this exercise. BACKGROUND • Julius Caesar was one of the most successful generals and politicians of ancient Rome, a society that prided itself on having liberated their nation from the tyranny of monarchy – much like America itself does with reference to Great Britain. Rome prided itself on being a republic, a nation in which citizens of Rome could have a voice in public office and be represented in government. Romans feared a return to monarchy, but monarchy was essentially what Caesar represented. • After Caesar triumphed in Gaul and emerged as the victor in a successful struggle for power against Pompey Magna, his political rival, he returned to Rome as an (essentially) unopposed leader, a "Dictator Perpetuus" (Dictator-for-life). • However, this assumption of complete power truly disturbed many prominent Roman senators, among them Marcus Junius Brutus, a man whose ancestors had helped to overthrow the last of the old kings of Rome – the equivalent, in America, of having been a Revolutionary War hero fighting King George III. Though Caesar thought highly of him and trusted him, Brutus was convinced to conspire in Caesar's assassination, which took place on the Ides of March (March 15) in 44 BC. As Caesar entered the Senate, he was surrounded by a group of sixty senators and stabbed approximately 23 times. • These speeches, from Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, occur immediately after the death of Caesar. The first to speak is Brutus; the second is Marc Antony, Caesar's second-in-command. Both men speak to the plebeians, the common people of Rome, who had loved Caesar and who had been instrumental in his political success. Though the members of the conspiracy are reluctant to allow Antony time to speak, Brutus permits it on the condition that Antony maintains the idea that the senators are honorable men and have acted honorably. READING THE TRANSCRIPT AND VIEWING OF ACT 3 SCENE II SPEECHES OF BRUTUS AND MARC ANTONY • Hard copy of Act 3 Scene II of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar • Refer to jctacapan.weebly.com for the videos. STUDENTS' ACTIVITY Watch the video carefully, noting the following elements in the speakers' speeches and write down your impressions and answers to the questions while the video is still fresh in recollection 1. What is the speaker's primary mode of appeal? 2. What is the speaker's goal? What does he wish to occur as a result of this speech? 3. What is the speaker's argument? 4. What reasons does he offer for his argument being right? 5. Identify at least two different tones with which this speaker speaks. Why does he use this tone? Why does he change it? 6. What rhetorical tactics – appeals to pathos, logos, ethos, or other rhetorical tools – does the speaker use? 7. Are these tools effective? Ineffective? Why? 8. What points or ideas does this speaker particularly emphasize? 9. Why does he emphasize those points and not others? 10.What links between ideas does this speaker create or emphasize? 11.Do you find him convincing? Why or why not? 12.How credible is this speaker? 13.What is his bias? 14.Does his bias invalidate or compromise the validity of his argument? SMALL-GROUP AND WHOLE-CLASS DISCUSSION • After you have had sufficient time to evaluate both speakers, compare your answers before discussing both speeches in a whole group. The primary question which should define the whole-group discussion should be the essential one: What elements in Antony's speech made it the more successful of the two? Why did Brutus' fail? CONCLUSION AND ASSESSMENT • At the end of the discussion period, you can come to closure about the methods of persuasion you have seen used in the two Caesar speeches by applying your understanding of persuasive techniques, logical links, point of view, bias, and use of rhetorical tools to an analysis of the famous speech by President George W. Bush, "Address to the Nation" PROMPT In a forcefully-argued essay, evaluate the following elements of Bush's speech and argue whether his speech effectively conveyed the speaker's message – and why. In your essay, please account for or address all of the following: • The speaker's use of ethos, pathos, logos (with examples) • The speaker's bias or stance The speaker's main message or point • The speaker's goal • The premises of his argument (that is, the reasons he offers to explain why he is right) • His use of reasoning – what basic reasoning does he offer? • What elements is he particularly emphasizing? Identify at least two different tones used in this speech. Why is this tone effective (or not)? • Why does the speaker change from tone A to tone B? • Did you find the speech persuasive or effective? Why or why not?

September Eleventh Two Thousand and One
The Big Apple awoke, a new day had begun.
The Statue of Liberty was standing so proud
As God and Freedom were singing out loud.
A wonderful tribute poem for 9/11...
I remember the moment to this very day
When news of the horror came through to the UK.
The intense feelings of horror, shock and tears cried
On that...
I love your eyes and your soft sighs.
I love your inner beauty, too.
I love the way each passing day
You give a love so warm and true.
I always remember that smile, a smile that can make me fall in love. He is my friend. He is so kind and always smiling back at me. Every day I always wanna say to him to keep that smile for...
Halloween, blood gurgling scream
Little children run and hide
Ghost costumes and flying brooms
On which evil witches ride...
Christmas time is finally here.
It only comes but once a year,
And it's a time to spread good cheer
To those we love and hold so dear.
Beautiful poem. I love it. One of my favorite poems on this website.
You always did the best you could
To make your children grow up good.
You always worked to make ends meet,
To give your children food to eat.
Beautiful tribute to your mom! You were blessed with a strong mom who taught you values. Your words remind me of my mom. I miss her every day. It will be 1 year next month since she left us...
I am glad you're mine,
for you brighten up my world.
It is a joy to just enjoy the time
spent with my girl.
For all the hurt and all the tears,
the good times throughout the years.
For all the time you have been mine,
darling, won't you be my Valentine?
Ken, a great poem showing unconditional love for your son and making him believe he can turn over a new leaf. far too often society, and families give up on those who go to prison. Great job.
Although I always read "Poem of the Day" I do not usually comment. However, this poem was fascinating. I have nothing but the utmost respect for anyone who serves our great country and provides us the freedom we all cherish. Your poem is a tremendous tribute to your son. I salute you for writing this poem and more importantly I salute your son and all our military men and woman.
May God bless them all as well as America.
Debbie, very touching. I hope some people heed your advice before it's too late too follow it.
Keisha, Congratulations on poem of the day. It's a great positive poem and you deserve the recognition. Ronie
A very beautiful poem. I love spirituality poems too. I feel honored to give you your first star and in my opinion any one who reads this should give you a "love it". Thanks for sharing.
