A look at life from a liminal perspective. Both my medical condition (myalgic encephalomyalitis) and my intuitive abilities are examples of liminal conditions. Liminality is the realm of tricksters, ambiguity, "betwixt and between"(ala Victor Turner). My body is not fully alive and my psyche has awareness of more than one realm. Though this is a subjective view, my hope is that it can benefit others by being placed in a larger perspective such as mythic, Jungian, transformative, or spiritual.

A Heartwarming Coincidence
Two years ago, my husband & I were trying to locate a doctor (under new health plan), who could treat my disorder. After a few false starts, I consulted with a neighbor (who is now my good friend) who worked in the administration of the largest hospital system in San Diego. She came to my home and made a phone call,asking one of the top people at the hospital "If you were very ill with a chronic immune dysfunction, who would you want to be your doctor?". A name was given to us. The Doctor's office was less that a mile from our home, and she was taking new patients. I set up an appointment. My husband accompanied me to the appointment, and sat with me in the office. When the doctor came in, she sat down reading my history. Then she stared to cry. She looked at us and said "I know you both. I worked with Laryssa as a volunteer." Suddenly I remembered her too, a young sweet woman who had lost her mother to cancer. We all cried and hugged. Then she said that she has a daughter now. I asked when she was born, and the doctor replied 09/09/1995. The very day Laryssa died! We were all amazed at the coincidences.
What a beautiful gift from the past!

For decades American painter Alex Katz has split his time between New York City and Maine. From July 14 through Dec. 30, 2012, the Colby College Museum of Art, which holds the world's largest collection of Katz's work, will present an exhibition focusing on the themes of the city and the country in Katz's work from the 1950s to the present. Read a review in the Portland Press Herald.
Drawn from the Colby Museum's collection and loans, Alex Katz: Maine/New York is curated by the New York poet and critic Carter Ratcliff, an expert on Katz's work. The exhibition will include 28 paintings and one multipart sculpture and will be accompanied by a catalog published by Charta and the Colby College Museum of Art.
Katz's connection to Maine dates to 1949, when he attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. His relationship with Colby began a few years later.
A quintessential New York artist, Katz is also a summer resident of Lincolnville, Maine. Thus his subject matter varies widely, from landscape to cityscape, from rural vignette to Manhattan interior. A master of urban portraiture at its most elegant, he also paints "portraits" of trees and flower-strewn meadows. Whatever his subject, Katz—a painter of atmosphere—evokes the distinctive light of a particular time and place.
In Alex Katz: Maine/New York, the viewer will be immersed in the haze of a city afternoon, the flickering green light of a rural path, the glare of a fashionable event, the dusk as it descends on a pond in the Maine woods. At every step are encounters with the remarkable people who populate Katz's paintings. Members of his family, friends, and others who might be described as iconic figures represent the large themes that shape this artist's world—night and day, city and countryside.
A special installation of the Colby Museum's permanent collection, selected and arranged by the artist, will complement the exhibition. This exhibition, Interior Visions: Selections from the Collection by Alex Katz, will be on view from July 14 through Oct. 7, 2012 and is the third installment of the Rediscoveries exhibition series. Rediscoveries invites members of the Colby community to offer new perspectives on the permanent collection. Interior Visions will be accompanied by a catalog featuring an introductory essay by critic Sanford Schwartz and poems by John Godfrey and Jim Brodey.
After graduating from Manhattan's Cooper Union in 1949, Katz quickly found his way to the New York art world. While most of his contemporaries were following the path blazed by Willem de Kooning, Katz took a different direction. A highly accomplished draftsman, Katz possesses a refined command of his materials. He has transformed the openness of the all-over image, which is usually abstract, into the large scale and striking immediacy of a major realist style. This transformation, along with Katz's eye for the telling detail, is demonstrated by the paintings in this exhibition.
Guest curator Carter Ratcliff is a poet and art critic who has lived in New York since 1967 and has been writing about Alex Katz for almost as long. His publications include Alex Katz (Phaidon, 2005), Out of the Box: The Reinvention of Art, 1965-1975 (Allworth Press, 2000), Alex Katz: Cutouts (Cantz Verlag, 1997), and The Fate of Gesture: Jackson Pollock and Post-War American Art (1996, Farrar, Straus, Giroux).
The museum will present three films on Alex Katz and his work Sunday, July 15, at 7 p.m. at Common Street Arts (20 Common Street, Waterville): Alex Katz Painting (1978, 28 mins.), Alex Katz: Five Hours (1996, 21 mins.), and Alex Katz: What About Style? (2003, 56 mins.).
The Colby College Museum of Art, formally established in 1959, now comprises four wings, more than 7,000 works of art, and over 28,000 square feet of exhibition space. It holds a significant permanent collection that specializes in American and contemporary art. The museum is currently undergoing an ambitious expansion of its facilities led by Frederick Fisher & Partners Architects.
The Colby College Museum of Art is free and open to the public. Museum hours are Tuesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Closed Mondays.

Three scholars participated in the major group exhibition themed "HELL AS PAVILION", which was hosted a few months ago at the Palais de Tokyo, a modern art gallery in Paris. The exhibition was curated by Nadja Argyropoulou with the collaboration of architect Yorgos Tzirtzilakis.
The exhibition examines the question of "being contemporary" within a culture in crisis. The curators gathered works by Greek artists from various generations creating a "strange fresco gone wild" and invited the public "to read history in unforeseen ways" and imagine into existence a new kind of ephemeral networks.
According to the curator, "Hell As Pavilion" can be perceived as a toolbox for the understanding of various paraloga in contemporary Greece in its struggle to 'be' in the present. It also offered the public the chance to consider the viability of deviations of any kind from what is perceived as "normal" amidst the chaos and within the framework of a situation where nations, states and all kinds of entities suspect and monster one another on the pretext of economic misconduct and "lack of progress".
The exhibition featured works by 42 visual artists and screened movies and films by 14 film-makers. Loukia Alavanou participated with her work Kiss Forever (2010), Kostis Velonis presented his structures entitled King of the Hills (Et in Arcadia Ego, 2012), The fall of a cock at the Erechtheum (2012) and A sea of troubles (2012), while Costis (Triandaphyllou) took part with his film Réalisation du film Saga of a city par Costis, Paris, 1974, with his work Madman Krak wonders: Is this horizon or a fragment of fierce sorrow? Athens 1972, and other designs and documents.

A new configuration is in place along Interstate 35W in Minneapolis Monday morning thanks to the massive I-35W: Downtown to the Crosstown project.
I-35W northbound is down to three lanes from 43rd Street to 31st Street in south Minneapolis. There are two lanes for general traffic and one lane for MnPASS users. From 31st Street to I-94, there are three lanes open to everyone. Southbound has been reduced to two lanes for all traffic from I-94 to 43rd Street for the next year. In 2019, MnDOT will open 35W southbound to three lanes. The lane closures will stay in place for three years until the fall of 2021.
A new ramp closure is in place too. I-35W southbound to 35th Street closed on Friday night and won't reopen until the fall of 2020. The detour takes motorists to the ramp to 46th Street.
Meanwhile, I-94 westbound is scheduled to go down to two lanes near I-35W, between Chicago Avenue and Nicollet Avenue. It appears the weather has postponed those lanes restrictions for now, all lanes are open for the morning commute. Once the construction barrels go into place, they will stay there until sometime this fall.
The work is all related to the larger 35W: Downtown to the Crosstown project. Numerous bridges are getting repaired or being replaced, another MnPASS lane is being added to the southbound side of the interstate, crews are constructing a new transit station near Lake Street, and much more.
Learn about this project here.

Star Wars Episode VII will be directed by JJ Abrams.
you know
this MIGHT not be shit.
Big fan of his his work - with the exception of lost which I never really gave any time to.
i think this is good news, personally. surely they'll be better than the last three.
didn't he say that he had no interest in doing it
and that he didn't really like star wars?
I must have imagined him saying he didn't like it
but he did say he didn't want to
"I quickly said that because of my loyalty to Star Trek, and also just being a fan, I wouldn't even want to be involved in the next version of those things. I declined any involvement very early on. I'd rather be in the audience not knowing what was coming, rather than being involved in the minutiae of making them." guess they eventually offered him enough money.
I hope it's 3 hours
of Chewbacca literally shitting money upon Jar Jar Binks in front of a massive screen playing slow mo footage of George Lucas's neck
Soundtrack by Clint Manselljapes, Cementimental, and incandenza_ this'd this
trailer featuring
a little person dressed as Yoda breakdancing badly (shot on Super 8) to a MIDI version of the Star Wars theme played entirely by Abrams.
- andyvine this'd this
I dunno how right it is that the same guy involved in revamping Star Trek
is revamping Star Wars.
Can't we get some cunting diversity?
as my friend alan says
every time i see that jj abrams is involved in something i can't help but think how much better josh wheadon would have done it
I could imagine whedon doing good Han Solo banter but he would also have the bad guys doing his irony thing which just wouldn't seem right
His visual style is really distinct
It'll just look and feel exactly like Star Trek.
I dunno super 8 managed to recreate an 80s feel quite accurately hopefully he will try similarWheaty this'd this
Just hope he has purged himself of the need for lensflare by the time he makes it
Also hope it's a little bit grubby. Star Trek is pretty sterile but I suppose it always has been.
I think he's quite a good choice.
I look forward to seeing it, whilst fully expecting it to be awful. Super8's a great film, mind you, so he could definitely do a job if he wanted to.
Imagine a lot depends on how much he's allowed to just get on with it
Can imagine Lucas still exerting considerable influence from the sidelines and presumably Disney are at the very least going to insist on something that's heaving with toy tie ins.
Abrams is an odd one, huh
he's clearly a massive player in the industry, yet he's actually directed like... four or five films? Two of them being Star Trek.
it must simply be off the back of Lost
I'm not a fan of it but i can appreciate how it was marketed and it had a lot of people excited about it. Even things like Breaking Bad/The Wire which most people would say are better didn't/don't get the same attention as Lost did. You can argue this is down to budgets and stuff but a hell of a lot of people watched it and enjoyed it and bought the boxsets. So I guess Hollywood see him as some sort of TV revolutionary and hope that he can do the same in the films.
he created Alias before Lost
which was pretty popular and ran to four or five seasons.
imagine Lost helped though, his first direction job was Mission Impossible III in 2006, which was a couple of years into the show's run.
(although really he had very little to do with Lost past it starting, but y'know)
I'm not sure if it's just me but
I don't think that Star Trek: The Apple Store Generation has the feel of a Star Trek franchise - those could have been any spacemonauts flying any old spaceship and it would've been exactly the same.
One of the things that I enjoy so much about things like Star Trek and Star Wars is that they fully inhabit all of their tropes and flesh out their own universes - JJ's reboot took it not so much to a different Star Trek universe but to a blandly generic sci-fi one where any old shit could happen because who cares.furio, andyvine, and poptimusgrime this'd this
Pretty sure nostalgia is playing a big part there.
THe old star trek films were mostly rubbish and the new ones seem to be respectful of the older films whilst still seeming fresh.
the biggest Star Trek fan I know pretty solidly hates the reboot
his general point is that Star Trek is more about 'ideas' and the Abrams one is basically Star Wars / any generic SF action movie. which I can see. but it's also why I don't really like Star Trek and do like Abrams' reboot.
because the reboot was a watchable bit of sci fi.
Lose the mate daniel.
(it's not theo is it?)
I saw it at the cinema
thoroughly entertaining, but so far from the enjoyment I get out of TNG and DS9.
I know Trekies that loved it.
There will always be haters.
Not just a director though
has produced a ton of stuff. His name hasnt really been tarnished yet. Done a lot of cgi-heavy stuff. Probably seen as the safe option.
yeah, that's what I mean
he seems much more of a behind-the-scenes facilitator type guy, yet he's been handed several absolutely huge franchises to direct from it.
I suppose it would be asking too much of them to choose someone a bit interesting like Whedon or Del Toro.
ageing De Niro as ageing Luke Skywalke
doing the face when he uses the force to whack some wise guy from the fuckin' dark side, jeez.
that's too perfect. I can picture him with the green make-up and ears, complaining about having to deal with the freakin' dark side at his age.
Marvel is owned by owned by Disney as well
I imagine they want Whedon's attention firmly focussed on the next Avengers film.
Brian Wood, who wrote the finished-and-excellent DMZ and the ongoing-and-excellent The Massive comics has just started writing a new Star Wars ongoing comic.
It'd be pretty sweet if he was involved in the writing somehow...
I bought one with high hopes as I really like wood's work, but I was quite disappointed. It is weird as everthing I have read about it is glowing but it just really didn't seem very star warsy, characters and dialog didnt seem right and the art in places was very ropey. I'll probably buy the next few issues and see how it goes.
On the subject of brians and comics, anyone reading brian vaughan's comic 'Saga' that is really great, seems like a more star warsy firefly
I read the first volume of Saga about an hour ago on this train I'm on. Wonderful stuff, so happy to have BKV back writing a monthly <3
it is rare that a comic will be so good that I will read it as single issues come out, but I even ended up spending over £10 for an issue 7 on ebay, not for collecting reasons but just because I couldn't wait to read it.
I've just ordered the massive buffy season 8 'library edition' that he wrote some of, might have to go back and finish ex machina too
I really liked Ex Machina in terms of setting and characters and such
but I was a little disappointed with the end. like, it was good and all, but it was essentially just another story, and it really lacked that thing in Y where all of the arcs built together to a climax.
still, he did write Y, and not everyone can strike absolute gold all of the time.

There have been a variety of activities in the world of autonomous vehicles this spring and summer. Here's a roundup of the most recent federal, state and local policy actions, industry developments and research reports on the topic.
A March 18 fatal accident involving a self-driving Volvo SUV operated by Uber in Arizona continued to produce reactions and ramifications across the autonomous vehicle policy community this week. Here are some of the latest updates on what policymakers are doing in the wake of the crash, what the crash tells us about autonomous vehicle technology and what it means for Uber and others.
The death of a pedestrian in an Arizona incident involving an Uber self-driving vehicle this week is prompting a renewed examination of autonomous vehicle research and regulation. But it's far from the only story that finds ride-hailing companies at the center these days. The impacts of services like Uber and Lyft on urban congestion, public transit, the taxi and parking industries, data sharing, access to health care services and trucking are also receiving scrutiny. All of these could have significant implications for policymakers in the years ahead.
If the first couple of months of 2018 are any indication, states are still anxious to make sure they get a piece of the action as the development and deployment of driverless cars proceed in the years ahead. I have updates on new executive orders in Arizona and Ohio, newly approved regulations in California, legislation under consideration in Indiana and Nebraska and a newly formed advisory council in Minnesota, among other state developments around the country. Also, updates on federal guidance on autonomous vehicles and the status of federal legislation. Plus, a plethora of links to articles on the latest industry and technology developments, shifting public opinion on autonomous vehicles and how cities can prepare for the autonomous future.
Issue: In 2017, 12 states approved self-driving vehicle-related legislation including measures to allow truck platooning, identify an agency to oversee testing and preempt local regulation. As the year wound down, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released a streamlined version of policy guidance on automated driving systems and Congress was debating federal legislation that could preempt state authority in some areas. The growing use of drones in a variety of capacities also attracted the interest of states with 23 pieces of legislation enacted in 17 states. Federal drone legislation was also considered in conjunction with a reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration, but Congress ultimately approved just a six-month FAA extension that did not include drone language.
Nevada's key partnerships at the intersection of transportation and technology, including on autonomous and electric vehicles, were in the spotlight last month as the CSG Transportation & Infrastructure Public Policy Committee convened during the CSG National Conference in Las Vegas. The meeting included remarks by committee vice chair Nevada Department of Transportation Director Rudy Malfabon, a discussion of CSG's 2017 focus on autonomous and connected vehicle policy and industry and policy updates from officials representing the Association of Global Automakers, Audi of America and Uber.
Issue: After years of saying they were still years away, autonomous vehicles and other technologies are here—or nearly here (at least to some degree). Uber has a fleet of autonomous vehicles in Pittsburgh. Uber's self-driving truck company, Otto, recently delivered a truck full of beer in Colorado. So now the question becomes how will state governments respond and how will they need to respond? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued guidelines last summer for states to consider in drafting autonomous vehicle legislation. But in trying to encourage the development of these technologies and perhaps reap an economic windfall, states will need to guard against doing more harm than good through legislation and regulation.
The November-December issue of Capitol Ideas magazine features my article on how states and communities are working to improve transportation mobility for older Americans. One of the experts featured in the article is Beth Osborne, vice president for technical assistance at Transportation for America in Washington, D.C. Osborne, a veteran of both the U.S. Department of Transportation and Capitol Hill, in recent years has been working with states on the implementation of complete streets policies. Complete streets are streets designed for safe access by all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and transit riders. In this extended excerpt of our conversation, Osborne talks about how complete streets can benefit seniors, how complete streets implementation processes have evolved, how the process differs from state to state, the promise of rideshare companies and autonomous vehicles for improving senior mobility and what kinds of policies state officials should consider during the 2017 legislative sessions. Osborne will be among the presenters next month at Transportation for America's Capital Ideas II conference in Sacramento, for which CSG is a promotional partner.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) this week issued long-awaited guidance delineating responsibilities of the federal and state governments when it comes to policies to pave the way for self-driving cars. This came as the Obama administration signaled that while strong safety oversight will be a hallmark of policies governing testing and deployment, the federal government will encourage innovation in the industry in recognition of the vehicles' potential to save time, money and lives. Response to the guidance appeared to be largely positive and with the ink not even dry on the document, a number of states appeared poised to move quickly on new autonomous vehicle legislation in the days and months ahead.

A Soldier's Diary by Ralph Scott (Ralph Scott being a pseudonym for George Scott Atkinson)
War is about real people and this book captures the reality of war at the individual level. It is a day by day diary of a Royal Engineer (RE) Officer in France during 1918. The diary starts at the RE's base camp in Rouen on 23April 1918 and then moves on to the Ypres salient with 2nd Army during May 1918, capturing the confused hiatus between the end of Operation Georgette (The Lys/Fourth Ypres) and the start of the Allied '100 days' offensive. As the extract below shows Operation Georgette may have failed but the German army was still far from beaten. The diary then moves on clearly highlighting the new challenges associated with the war of movement in the last 100 days.
A Soldier's Diary – Ralph Scott pp. 77-90.
The events that follow are necessarily somewhat confused, both from their own nature and from the fact that I was not able to set them down until some ten days after they occurred. They fell out somewhat as follows:-
The Merryway had once been a decent road, but after the fighting in June there was little left but a shattered track running at right angles to the main lines of trenches. The Huns had pushed out a very considerable salient on both sides of this track, and as their ground was rather higher than ours they were able to make life very unpleasant for everyone around them.
With the threat of more German attacks still hanging over us and the men quite worn out, the Staff decided that we must keep up our morale by trying to lower that of the Huns. An attack on the Merryway Salient was decided upon as the best way of doing this.
Accordingly one Infantry Brigade and one Field Coy. R.E. went over on the night of August 8th, and under cover of a terrific bombardment surprised the Germans and gained practically all their objectives. All was quiet for two days, the Field Coy. put up quantities of barbed wire and the Staff went to sleep to dream of medals.
The morning of the 11th [August 1918] was cold and misty, and to our great consternation the Huns delivered a very heavy counter-attack. This was quite successful and we were all driven back with the exception of one post which held out on the Merryway. Here about 30 Huns got held up against our wire and all surrendered, although most of the men wanted to shoot, because we were too weak to find an escort. However we sent them back with two men, but seeing that our flanks were gone and how weak the escort was, they strangled the two men and joined the fight. Everything was now completely mixed up, the gray-coated figures were all around, and odd groups of men were fighting detached battles for their own skins against heavy odds. Our telephone wire was cut, and rockets were useless because of the mist; the casualties were heavy, and it looked as if the line would go. Then I saw Bradley, a fearsome sight, with a piece of his scalp hanging over his ear and his face covered with blood, trying to collect some men. I joined him, and we got a few together and went forward again. In technical language I suppose we led a charge or counter-attack, but it never struck me in that way at all, and I'm sure we had no clear idea what we intended to do.
Bradley was mad, and we went at the first group of Huns we saw. There was a tussle, we killed two and the rest surrendered. Bradley collared one of these himself, a poor miserable kid not more than twenty, and I remember the sight of him put heart into us all.
In all we got forward about two hundred yards and got in touch with the Merryway post, although, of course, we were still a long way behind our original line.
This restored the line a little, and instead of pushing through the gaps on either side of us the Huns hesitated a little and finally dug in about 50 yards away. All the infantry officers were killed and everyone was out of touch, so that the Huns were not followed up. During the day reliefs came up, and at night Brigade reported that we held a line of posts in touch with one another about half-way between our first and second positions.
I went up with a few men and some material to try to consolidate the position, but when I got to Merryway post everything was in absolute chaos and there was only a sergeant and six men in the post and absolutely at their last gasp. Apparently they had been attacked again during the day, and had only just kept off the Huns after suffering heavy casualties from trench mortars. It was obvious the Huns thought a lot of this post, and I felt sure they would try to take us during the night. I put all my men on and tried to strengthen the place with sandbags, and made it a little deeper by lifting some bodies out of the bottom. I had 19 men with 150 rounds each and 1 Lewis gun with several thousand rounds - this I placed at the end of the trench to fire up the track.
About 11.30 we were shelled heavily without sustaining casualties, and immediately afterwards a crowd of infantry - about 100 I think-made a dash at us, chiefly down the old track. The Lewis gun opened at once, and I was terrified to find that the Huns had a gun on our flank which was shooting straight at our gun and right into the trench. The gunner was killed at once and Cox wounded, so that the gun was silent. Then the infantry sergeant took it and was shot dead immediately. I shouted to the men to keep shooting at the infantry in front and I took the Lewis gun myself and turned it round at the German gun. I waited for him to shoot, and then fired at the flash and silenced him. I noticed that the men's firing had died down, and on looking to the front I was relieved to see that the first attack was beaten off-we must have killed a lot, as they were right against the skyline - and there were a lot of them moaning about in front. I felt certain we could hold them if we could keep their gun quiet, so for the next twenty minutes we worked like fiends to raise some protection across the open end of the trench. Then they came again in a sudden rush, but I must have damaged their gun, and without that to help them we could turn our gun right into them and easily held them off. A small party sneaked close up to us on the left away from the gun and threw some bombs right into us, blowing an infantryman to bits and wounding a sapper. Then they shelled us steadily for half an hour and got one of the look-out men in the shoulder-another rifle useless. At this point we had our one piece of luck-found a rum jar with just enough in it to give each man a mouthful-it put new heart into us and helped us more than twenty reinforcements. Everything went quiet for a time, and in thinking things over I had an awful job to keep myself under control. The men were wonderful, but there were only 13 of us left and fully 200 Huns all round. During the lull Cox died in my arms-he was very game, but just before the end he sobbed like a child : "My wife and kiddie, oh God ! sir, what's going to happen to them ?-poor kid, poor kid." And so he died.
Shortly afterwards they came at us again, and thank God none of us realised how many there were. On the right where the gun was we held them off again, but we were hopelessly out numbered, and a German officer and a small party actually got into our trench at the other end. I heard the row and, leaving the gun with Willis, was just in time to see a man kill the officer with his bayonet and the others cleared off again. They were very close all round us now, and as we could see nothing I told the men to keep their ammunition and then split them up, some to shoot forward and some to shoot back. I was frightened that we should be bombed, and surely enough they started, but the throwing was rotten.
And then once more they tried us. A bomb came right in the trench and laid out two more men, splashing me with blood. We shot like fiends and the gun was nearly red-hot, but they were too many. About eight men got into the trench and then we all went mad. It would be impossible for me to give an accurate description because there was just one fierce wild tussle, they trying to get at Willis and that blessed gun and we trying to keep them off. We were too mixed to shoot; they used a sort of life-preserver and we used our bayonets taken off the rifles. A German about my own size slipped into the trench behind me and I just turned in time to duck under a swing from his preserver. What I was doing I shall never know, but by instinct I got my left hand on his throat, and before I knew what had happened I had got the bayonet dagger-wise a good six inches into his chest. He went down without a groan. There was no one in front of me and I turned to find a big Hun with his back to me and a life-preserver raised to hit McDonald, who had his back to the Hun, over the head. If I had had sense I would have stuck the bayonet into his back, but I was absolutely wild and dropped it. Before the Hun could strike I got my hands on his throat and we fell down together. I fell underneath but got on top and pressed until I thought my fingers would break. He was terribly strong and once scratched a great piece out of my left cheek. Gradually he weakened, and I kept my fingers in his throat until he died.
Much the same thing had happened to all the other men except one, who got badly mauled about the head and died shortly afterwards. For a moment I felt we could fight the whole German army, especially when I saw McDonald smash in a German head with the rum jar. Now the survivors were shouting for help, but that blessed Willis (ex jail-bird) was sitting with the gun out in the open, regardless of everything, swearing like hell, and none of the Huns seemed anxious to accept the invitation. We were all clean crazy, and I even had a job to keep the men in the trench. McDonald said something about Cox's missus, and wanted to kill ten of the "bloody bastards."
During the whole of that bloody night my hardest job was to restrain the men in that moment of semi-victory; for it was still two hours until dawn. Nine out of the nineteen of us were either dead or dying, and all the rest of us were damaged in some way. Throughout the whole night I had never thought of anything but death. Relief, I knew, was impossible-if we surrendered they would kill us, and I never dreamed that we could really hold them off till dawn. Writing now, it would be easy to imagine impressions which I never really experienced, but I can safely say that throughout the whole night I calmly regarded myself as a dead man. It seemed quite natural that I should be, and I can't remember that I had the slightest regret. It even seems now that in some queer way I was distinctly happier and more tranquil than I had ever been in my life before. I felt nobler, mightier, than any human being on earth, and death seemed welcome as the only fitting end. Recalling some of my previous entries on the subject of war, I cannot understand my feelings on this occasion and can only repeat that it was so-perhaps something of
"The stern joy which warriors feel
In foemen worthy of their steel."
It was therefore almost with a feeling of annoyance, of having been cheated of something, that I saw the first streaks of gray beyond Kemmel. I thought they would still make a last effort and waited, but we shivered in vain. In the semi-light we managed to get an odd shot at some of them who had been behind us as they went round to the front-we shot two or three more this way. Then I left my sergeant in charge and went back for a crawl to see what I could find. It was almost light now, and after about half an hour I came across a picket. They firmly believed we were all dead, and said so, and once more that odd feeling of annoyance returned. I remembered that during the night I had visualised the Brigade report on the whole business:- "Their Lewis gun was heard firing until early in the morning but it was impossible to reach them."
However, I went back, left some fresh men in the post and brought my fellows out, leaving orders for the dead to be brought down during the day if possible. As we went back past Brigade I dropped in to report. The General had apparently been up all night and looked very worried. He insisted on seeing the men. They were lying in the mud outside, bleeding and swearing-an awful but a sublime picture. He was deeply moved, and several times under his breath I heard him say, "Marvellous, marvellous, wonderful." Afterwards, I was told that there were tears in his eyes when he went back into the dug-out. He has had an awful time, poor beggar.'


text: COLUMN Sales Talk Lee Moulson, regional head of sales at Cheltenham Racecourse and the South West region of The Jockey Club, says seeing a client's beaming smile cannot be bettered Going all out I 'm often asked: "what is the most enjoyable aspect of working in sales?" The worst, by far, is when you invest so much time and effort to win business, and for one reason or another it doesn't quite come off. The ethos I taught myself and my team is to live and breathe what we sell – and in doing so, any negatives will be far outweighed by positive outcomes. In this industry, it is a massive advantage when you are working in an environment you've always wanted to be involved in, and I'm lucky to do just that every day. I always knew I wanted to work at a racecourse. I started my career as a jockey, and then studied business management for the horse racing industry at university. During my studies I also used to work part-time at Warwick Racecourse. So when a job came up at Cheltenham Racecourse to join the team as a hospitality sales executive, just as I was about to graduate, I applied and got it. From that moment I was hooked on working in racing and non-racing events sales. The chance to work with a client to make something really special is what gets me out of bed, and I'm extremely lucky to work at one of the most prestigious sporting venues in the country, if not the world. My love of horseracing got me into what I do now, but actually, for me, one of the best parts of the job is when clients come here for exhibitions and events, and have a really great experience. I probably get more joy out of that than anything. This job is all about helping to create something great for people. Seeing an event start as a concept and come to life over a period of time is just so exciting. It's fantastic when we can work with clients to try something new. For instance, we're hosting a new arts fair here, and it's an event one of our team has been working on for two years and has now come to life. As venue sales people it's vital we look at very different events to organise and bring here to continue to capture people's imagination. Devising an event from concept through to delivery and seeing it working perfectly is extremely satisfying. A great example of that is the darts night we launched a few years ago, which has sold out every time we've held it since. When I fi rst came to Cheltenham, I think we used to tend to shy away from the fact we are a racecourse, and the emphasis was very much on treating non- racing events and exhibitions as separate. Now I think we embrace the fact we're a racecourse. That's not only because it is the racing that gives the venue its iconic status but also because we can give our customers the opportunity to take advantage of the racing side too, through, for instance, promotion on racedays. To anyone who is an aspiring salesperson, it sounds obvious, but my advice is to always ask yourself is the customer getting the best possible bang for their buck? For venues it's vital you can demonstrate what people are getting for their money at every stage of the process, and that wherever possible you are going above and beyond. This can be offering additional support such as marketing, PR, promotion and management support – everything to help the client style their event. I'm sure there are venues out there who just book an event, and that's it, but they will defi nitely be left behind – if they haven't been already. Offering that little bit extra is what leads to repeat business and, for us, seeing clients grow their events with us over many years. My team are very lucky that even when the weather is horrible, when potential customers see the view from our Panoramic Restaurant event space on to the racetrack it creates a wow factor, the same goes for seeing the versatility of The Centaur auditorium. So to answer the question at the top, for me the most enjoyable part of working in sales is when you get to the end of the event or exhibition and the client is beaming and they tell you it's the best event they've ever held – you just can't beat that feeling. Learn from every event you host, do everything to support the customer to drive their event and business forward and customers will keep returning year after year. exhibitionnews.co.uk | June 2017 41

I remember years ago a Gov contractor used a program to see exactly what our software program would be doing before he allowed it to be installed. I would imagine it worked like sandbox, but in addition, it would prompt you for each new entry within the application install. In other words, if the install program wanted to create a directory, it would show you this. It would also show registry entries being made...I think?

Universally the #1 choice for area rugs, wool offers a number of features and benefits, from its natural beauty to its strength?and sustainability.
Photos courtesy of Kalaty Rug Corporation
Wool is commonly regarded as the strongest, most vibrant and most resilient fiber choice for area rugs.
Wool is so durable that even the lowest-quality wool rugs are likely to outlast synthetic fiber rugs (nylon, acrylic polyester, etc.).
So, if longevity and durability are your goals, high-quality wool rugs can't be beat. But, should you invest in a fine wool rug, proper care is a must for its longevity.
Wool fibers are naturally moisture and stain resistant, so if a liquid spills on your wool rug, act quickly by blotting with white towels or white paper towels. (We suggest white towels/white paper towels so that there is no color transfer from your towels to the rug.)
Dirt particles that accumulate in wool rug fibers can cause your rug to wear prematurely and unnecessarily, so vacuum your rug frequently (no beater-bar vacuums).
For more rug-care tips, visit our online guide or for the comprehensive care guide for high-end rug producer Kalaty Rug Corporation.
The natural properties of wool give it the ability to accept dyes beautifully.
Thus there are an infinite number of colors and rug styles available in the marketplace today, from patterns and motifs ranging from traditional Oriental styles to tribal and Southwestern patterns to transitional and modern designs. Some companies such as Kalaty Rug Corporation offer special custom color programs that make it possible for you to match any fabric, paint color and even a treasured heirloom or china pattern to the color rug you desire.
For visual inspiration and ideas for how to customize the color and pattern of your rug, check out the Kalaty Custom Color Program.
Wool is the only truly sustainable rug fiber choice because it is harvested seasonally from sheep that are prized and specially bred and globally sourced for the variety of fine wools they produce.
These sheep annually grow back their coats season after season and constantly replenish the supply. (Synthetic fibers, on the other hand, are often made from materials and processes that are not as kind to the environment.)
There are several things to know about wool quality, price points and the various weave types available:
There is also the issue of price points and machine-made rugs versus handcrafted rugs. Wool rugs come in a variety of price points to accommodate virtually any budget. While there is nothing negative about machine-made wool rugs, machine-made rugs do not have the expensive high-end aura or the look and feel of their handcrafted counterparts.
And, although machine-mades may be more affordable than handcrafted rugs, the quality of machine-made varieties is just not as high as that of handcrafted and hand-knotted rugs. The bottom line on purchasing fine wool rugs is the same as when purchasing any luxury product: Because you usually get what you pay for, it's always best to consult a reputable, knowledgeable local rug dealer who will be able to guide you in your purchase.

Monongalia County, West Virginia will be sending a new face to Charleston to represent them in the House of Delegates this January. The 44th District elected new comer Alex Shook to the House. Shook is a Morgantown lawyer and a Democrat.
Despite claims made earlier in the year that Shook was a member of the Dirty Dozen, candidates who receive financial backing from personal injury lawyers, Shook was able to lead the 44th District with 10,126 votes.
Possibly Shook`s success can be lead to his party affiliation. The Democrats swept the 44th District.
Another incumbent who ran, Cindy Frich, will not be returning to the House in January. Frich, who held office in the House of Delegates for 4 years, was defeated.
Frich`s Republican Party affiliation may have been what hurt her this election.
About 46 percent of registered voters turned out to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 7. This beat the total for the entire state which ended up at around 40 percent.

Murder weapons used to convict Australia's worst criminals cause the most heart-wrenching moments at trial.
Now they and other key evidence are also being used as online click-bait, and inspiration for high-end fashion labels.
While having them in the public realm can be confronting for some, criminologist Katherine Biber says it's no surprise given the nation's obsession with high-profile crimes.
It is a fixation that Professor Biber believes started when Lindy Chamberlain was accused of murdering her nine-week old daughter Azaria at a camping site in Uluru in 1980.
Delivering a lecture at University of Melbourne on Tuesday, Prof Biber questions what is at stake by allowing these materials into the public sphere, how long after the crime should they be accessed, and what might be at stake if they were to be regulated.
"At the end of the trial, the judge orders what happens to the evidence ... but sometimes it ends up in places the court may not have intended," Prof Biber told AAP.
"Some of these are interesting, some troubling, and others unexpected."
Prof Biber believes the Azaria Chamberlain case made way for a cultural shift in the public's appetite for criminal cases and information associated with them.
Lindy Chamberlain was a different kind of character, one not seen before in the legal landscape.
She collected letters, legal documents and articles about her experience and has since passed the collection onto the National Museum of Australia and the National Library of Australia.
A chance finding of Azaria's clothing in 1986 saw Lindy's charges overturned and she was released from jail.
After numerous inquests, she was exonerated in 2012 - 32 years after her daughter's death.
Ever since then, evidence from high profile cases, including the murder of ABC employee Jill Meagher in Melbourne and the Taser death of Brazilian student Roberto Laudisio Curti at the hands of NSW police, have made it into the public sphere.
"A slide show of photographs taken at the home of Ms Meagher's killer Adrian Ernest Bailey was published online well before he even entered a plea and that was without any context," she said.
"The captions said `here is his bedroom, here is his laundry, here is a pile of clothes on his bed'."
Both cases exposed public interest in the criminal process, whether it be for voyeuristic purposes or curiosity.
But either way, individuals need to exercise their own judgment as to how soon is too soon, and what is in the best interest of the victim, she says.

The Employee Ownership Update
Corey Rosen
July 28, 2005
Cox Would Implement Options ExpensingChristopher Cox (R-CA), President Bush's nominee to head the Securities and Exchange Commission was a cosponsor of the "Broad-Based Stock Option Plan Transparency Act," a bill that would limit options expensing to the top five officers of a company. But Cox told Senators at his confirmation hearing that he will implement the new accounting rules. There had been some hope among options expensing foes that Cox would slow down or even derail expensing, but on July 26, he told the Senate Banking Committee that "I will ensure that the Securities and Exchange Commission builds upon the record as already established and that the rule is implemented as the markets expect."
DOL Settles with EnronThe Department if Labor has settled its lawsuit with Enron Corporation over ERISA fiduciary breaches in its 401(k) plan and ESOP. The settlement gives the plans an unsecured claim of $305.36 million in Enron's bankruptcy proceedings. The final amount paid will depend on what assets the bankruptcy court makes available for distribution.
Ohio Data Show ESOPs Performing WellIn a new study of 69 companies drawn from a census of Ohio ESOP companies, the Ohio Employee Ownership Center has found that 25% of the companies indicated that before the ESOP was implemented, or 10 years ago if their ESOP was older than that, their profits were better then their industry, while just over half said they were the same, and the rest were worse. But after the ESOP, or over the last 10 years for older ESOPs, 45% of the companies reported improved profits relatively to their industry, 42% said they were the same, and 13% said they were worse. The median annual growth in stock value over the last three years was 11.5%, well above the market.
Wages were better too, with 24% of the companies reporting higher than competitive pay, and 70% reporting wages at the same level. More than half (54%) of the companies said they had a better benefit package, with a third saying it was about the same. An impressive 90% of the respondents had other retirement plans, far above the prevalence of retirement plans of any kind in similar companies. Employee ESOP account values, not surprisingly, varied enormously, from an average of $1,299 per participant to $600,000 per participant, with a median of $30,000. Median balances are strongly affected by the age of the plan as well as company performance and plan contribution rates. However, it is notable that the median account balances for 401(k) pans is in the range of $25,000 (there are no directly comparable numbers because 401(k) medians are only report by age cohort), and the 401(k) plan is usually the sole retirement plan in a company. Moreover, the 401(k) data include employees who have rolled prior account balances into their new plans.
Of the 69 companies, just under half are majority ESOP owned, reflecting the dramatic move towards majority employee ownership that has occurred in the last few years. About a third of the companies report that employees and management decide together on working conditions, and another half say that management consults with employees on these issues. The data show some change towards increased participation since becoming an ESOP, or in the last 10 years for older ESOPs, but the change is more incremental than dramatic.
More detailed results of the survey can be found in the Summer 2005 issue of Owners at Work, the newsletter of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Kandi Technologies (NASDAQ:KNDI), a Chinese manufacturer of electric vehicles, go-karts, and other specialized vehicles, shot higher on Monday after the company reported its result for 2014. By noon, the stock was up about 10%.
So what: Kandi reported revenue of $170.2 million for 2014, up 80.1% year over year; $116.4 million of this came from electric vehicle parts sales, a segment that generated practically no revenue in 2013. An electric vehicle joint venture, Kandi Electric Vehicles Group, generated $215.5 million in sales during 2014, but none of this revenue was reported by Kandi directly since the company only owns 50% of the JV.
Generally accepted accounting princples net income was $0.29 per share for the year, with non-GAAP net income slightly higher at $0.33 per share. Both figures were higher compared to 2013 by more than 150%. Total operating expenses actually declined compared to 2013, despite the rapid rise in revenue, with both research and development spending and general and administrative spending contracting. Gross margin, on the other hand, plummeted to 13.75%, down from 23% in 2013.
Now what: CEO Xiaoming Hu had this to say about the company's future prospects: "Looking ahead, we are extremely excited about Kandi's business prospects for continued growth. Given the government's strong commitment toward policies that encourage the adoption of electric vehicles nationwide, including the national and local government subsidies, the electric vehicle tax breaks, along with the prevailing favorable market conditions in China, we are confident in our ability to execute our strategy to further grow market shares in China."

Just a brief post to say Happy New Year! I'm hoping to do a lot more in the garden this year. Looking back at the pictures, I seemed to run out of puff around midsummer. This was partially to do with being unwell over the summer and also the terrible weather we had then. I did get some good crops and a few things have changed, most notably the climing frame and pear tree in the middle of the garden have gone. And I handed in my allotment keys at the end of November to the playhouse is now stuffed full of gardening equipment. Do I miss the allotment? Well, a bit, sometimes I'm thinking about growing and think "I could do..." and then realise that no, not possible, no allotment. But I don't really miss it, no. I did the right thing because my health problems are still ongoing, I just couldn't have kept the plot on for another year. So, plans for this year? A better composting system, a new greenhouse if I can find the money, four new raised beds, move the raspberry patch, build a wormery. And grow more crops, of course!

I've been working hard all day to get this to work.
I'm playing around with the math module in python. I eventually want the following code to help me control the speed of a servo motor. The idea is to get the servo speed to accelerate and then decelerate as it reaches its set position--in a parabolic way you might say.
The problem is I'm getting wavy numbers apparently from the algorithm I've set up and it needs to be a nice smooth transition.
from __future__ import division
import math
import time
def Interpolation():
EffectPercentage = 1
Step = 1
nSteps = 32
MovementStepPercentage = EffectPercentage/nSteps*Step
print MovementStepPercentage
while Step << 32:
Interpolation = (1-math.sin(MovementStepPercentage*180+90))/2*EffectPercentage+MovementStepPercentage*(1-EffectPercentage)
print "Interpolation =", Interpolation
Step = Step+1
print "Step =", Step
MovementStepPercentage = EffectPercentage/nSteps*Step
print MovementStepPercentage
if Step == 32:
I know a thing or two about math, but not enough to get this to work apparently... any pointers?

"Having dissolved several stars I sought
like a foolish moth"
Oh. Strong disclaimer for a strong poem! It's good, I think, to have animated memories of loving in the face of loss. I enjoy the moth image and also the snake image I found in the shed-able incarnations of love. Of course, there is a deeper loving that is not so quick to burn out! But, ahhh, youth.ReplyDelete
I loved the moth image too. And, especially, "Love was the only religion I respected." A powerful write, Panchali. Loved it.ReplyDelete
A very thought provoking and powerful poem.ReplyDelete
Ah, the memories of youth....especially vivid, and evoking of questions, is the mention of the 'mean, animated character.'ReplyDelete
What a stunning recollection of a wild youth. Really very well penned.ReplyDelete
Well, loving is never sinful, I think. But you captured the regrets, the memories of not one, but it seems several wild youthful lives. Enjoyed reading this.ReplyDelete

Assault on flimsy faith... that's a great line. But when it happens in youth, one can come away very scarred.ReplyDelete
I like the image of "several skins of reincarnation."ReplyDelete
The title is so very captivating and yes, silence can be brutal..although not from personal experience perhaps this is relatable to many in many different ways which is a wonderful qualityReplyDelete
I think it is true that we look back on the past, but bear in mind that those memories are what made us into who we are in the present. Kind of makes me wonder what the future will hold sometimes.ReplyDelete
Glad i read the disclaimer in the end ...ReplyDelete
an animated journey is very profound.ReplyDelete

Woman's injuries outlined by witness
By DAVE McMILLION / Staff Writer, Charles Town
Using a photograph of her skull to describe Vatressa Miller's injuries, an anthropologist testified in U.S. District Court Monday that Miller suffered a "heavy crushing force" to her head during a fatal beating in a Martinsburg, W.Va., subdivision two years ago.
Douglas Owsley, an anthropologist for the Smithsonian Institution of Natural History, said he was asked by police to help them determine what happened to Miller.
Andrew Jackson, 728 Winchester Ave., Martinsburg, and Keyston J. West, 908 Wendover Road, Apt. D, Charlotte, N.C., are on trial for the death of Miller.
If Jackson, 23, and West, 24, are found guilty of charges of killing Miller as part of a continuing criminal enterprise, they could face life in prison.

BW-Rox - configuration
- Make a new empty folder /data in the "c:/<path>/rox"
- In the parent directory find "rox_local.example.ini", adapt it to your needs and save as "rox_local.ini". Most notably is in the box below.
[db] dsn = "mysql:host=localhost;dbname=<dbname>" user = "<username>" password = "<password>" [env] baseuri = "http://name" [development] avoid_https = true skip_password_check = true
In [db], fill out the details of your local database.
In [env] fill out the path to rox. If you made a virtual host, then the name that you defined there, goes here.
The [development] part is optional but will save you a lot of useless work (avoid_https saves you the security warnings when logging in, and skip_password_check makes logins possible without typing the password)
- Typing the ServerName you defined in vhosts into your browser's adressbar should give you a basically working BW-page. Play a bit around to see if everything works before you proceed.
At this point it is normal if sending e-mails doesn't work (signup, notifications, messages), see next section for more information.
Tip: if something doesn't work, you can try the following sources to find out what is wrong:
- Point your browser to "http://<name>/diagnostics.php"
