With the finality of Jesus life and the commemoration of his final departure from the recent resurrection sightings we are faced with another of life's great challenges. In death we experience separation from loved ones and those we have so greatly depended upon. Friends, advisors etc. From one perspective we generally speak of it as tragedy, but from another perspective it challenges us with a vital question.
Is it the cruellest of life's creation or do we search for the positive. In the subsequent absence is there something important for us to discover even in the pain of such loss. This is the issue at the heart of the Ascension which the church celebrated last Thursday.
Our first reading today recalls the scene of the disciples gathered with Jesus on a local mount called Olivet. To their amazement he departs from their midst in the strangest apparition of him being raised as if into the sky and engulfed by a cloud. Many will argue over the veracity of this scene, but that is a distraction, for its deeper story is about departure, however that happens.
The great story of Jesus comes in several stages with each stage enhancing the previous one.
- The building expectation of a Jewish Messiah as the source of future hope.
- The earthly life of the human Jesus who illustrated the possibility of human living.
- The forty days of resurrection illustrating an extraordinary suggestion of life beyond the grave.
- And now in today's lesson, life without our hero. The implications of separation, aloneness, absence.
Our natural world does not like absence. We build constant involvement, attachment entertainment with our physical world. We believe we need to be constantly engaged with our material world through our senses, our touch, sight, smell, taste and sound. We add the world of imagination, these days via TV, internet, radio. But is there more easily overlooked?
Ascension reminds us that in the spiritual journey there is much more. For there is a door way in absence. Absence enables us to step back from this constant world of engagement and welcome the often neglected world of interiority. So when Jesus departed his followers he promised them he would not leave them orphaned.
In his absence they would find he was still with them in a different way. They could begin to look beyond the obvious and as some declare, see with the third eye. With such third eye, the truth of the universal, the divine absolute would awaken within. The risen ascended Christ receded from the particular human being of a single historical figure but now to be found in the glory of the interior realm of the divine.
He and the father were one. This was his glory, which was timeless. His prayer was that not only he re-enter the glory of the father, but that we humans discover that same glory of the divine dwelling within us.
Father may they be one as we are one.
History is scattered with the stories of people who discovered the importance of the gifts of absence. The first great indication that this was the path of the spiritual is evident in the story of Elijah who fled the marauding class of prophets determined to do away with him.
Hiding in the desert cave he desperately awaited the call of God. We read he could not hear him in the earthquake or the raging fire. Rather it was in the absence of all else, and in the sheer silence that followed.
In a simple statement we can say that Jesus ultimately left the physical so that all could find him in their own treasured interior. His physical absence opened the door to his eternal and universal presence.

The story behind Damian's site.
Damian's site is a labor of love produced by us, Chase DeLuca and Justin Malvin. It all started when we were children, playing in the school yard of Jordan Middle School…Ok, maybe the site's roots don't run quite that deep, but close! We have been friends since childhood, we have both been bringing our cars to Damian for several years. Chase was the first to meet Damian after Damian did a few car movie shoots with Chase's uncle Bill (Yeah, even the studios hire Damian). Uncle Bill told Chase not to bring his cars to anyone else and Chase has stuck to Uncle Bill's advice since as long as he could drive.
A few years later Justin complained to Chase about his string of bad (dirty, underhanded, incompetent) mechanics and Chase passed on the sage advice Uncle Bill had given him waaay back in the '90s. At the time, Justin lived in Santa Monica, so getting to Chatsworth up the 405 was more than a notion, but he decided to give it a shot.
Just like everyone else that goes to Damian, Justin was amazed by the speed at which Damian did the work, the clarity and honesty with which he explained car problems, and the resonable prices he charged. After years and years of repeat business, Damian mentioned he could use a website to spread the word. To Chase and Justin Damian is like family, so they immediately hatched a plan to put Damian on the web. With excitement and vigor Chase and Justin swung into action and built the monument you see before you.
Long story short, Damian is awesome so we built him this website.

A Marc Jacobs Daisy Summer
Posted: Jan 06 2015
We holding onto that summer feeling by escaping into the daisy fields with Daisy by Marc Jacobs and taking you behind the scenes into the shooting of the beautiful fragrance advert whilst the print campaign graces My Perfume Shop's cover photo this week on Facebook.
The sunny short film is directed by Sophia Coppola to represent Jacob's Daisy,Daisy Eau So Fresh and Daisy Dream scents and seen in our exclusive behind-the-scenes images here.
Interesting fact: Sophia Coppola was in fact the first ever face of Marc Jacobs fragrance, photographed by the designer's long-term collaborator Juergen Teller who also shot the print campaign to sit alongside Coppola's new advert.
"Because I was in the fragrance ad when Marc started doing the perfume, it's funny now to be making a commercial for the Daisy fragrance," Coppola said. "I really enjoy doing a fragrance campaign because it's about atmosphere and personality. And it's so abstract."
So, what is the vision of the new advert?
"I kind of imagine maybe they've snuck out of their boarding school and they're running in the hills and lazing around together," Coppola explained of her vision. "I feel like fragrance is really important to your identity as a teenager - I was really into it, this idea of being a woman.
"Starring in the campaign are models Malaika Firth, Ondria Hardin, Antonia Wesseloh and Sophia Ahrens.

A Visit from Wellesley and King/
One of my favorite parts of doing this blog over the past year has been the other awesome bloggers I have been able to meet. From time to time, I love to introduce you to some of these super talented ladies. I first met Lauren of Wellesley and King at our last Style Social event. If we were handing out "best dressed" awards that night, Lauren would have had my vote! In a room full of fashionable gals, she stood out in one of the cutest black and white dresses I have ever seen. Once I got to talk with her, it was easy to see that her sweet and welcoming personality matched perfectly with her impeccable sense of style! I am so happy to have Lauren on the blog today and strongly encourage you to check out her website and get inspired by her Instagram feed!
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and what made you start Wellesley and King.
Hi everyone! My name is Lauren, and I am the blogger behind Wellesley & King, which I started about two years ago—primarily as a hobby. I have always been a right-brained individual. Growing up, I was constantly doodling outfits, choreographing dances, sketching portraits, and, in later years, photographing the world around me. During college and grad school, I spent my free time working in a small boutique near my hometown, where my love for visual merchandising and fashion really began to blossom.
When I landed a full-time job in logistics and moved to Pittsburgh, my creative side was begging for an outlet. Wellesley & King was born shortly after as a lifestyle blog, but has since evolved into a personal style blog, focused on creating a quality and lasting wardrobe.
2. How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is ultimately classic. I favor timeless pieces that will translate from one decade to the next. One of the things that I really wanted to do with my blog was create style inspiration that is attainable for the everyday woman. I follow a lot of fashion bloggers who have incredible style but their looks just aren't realistic for me in my daily life.
On Wellesley & King, I often share professional outfits that I've worn to work, the minimal outfits that I reach for on weekends, and even some feminine looks for date nights and special occasions. In all of these, my goal is to create outfits that I have actually worn, that any woman can look at and say, '"I could wear that."
3. What have been the biggest successes with the blog so far? The biggest challenges?
I'll start with challenges. Because I work full-time, and my job is very demanding, I often end up writing posts late at night and photographing outfits in bulk on weekends. I'm disconnected from my blog and social media all day while I am at work, so it's been difficult for me to create the community that I dream of.
Successes! As I mentioned, creating a community has occurred slowly, in large part due to my job. However, joining the Style Social community in Pittsburgh has been so exciting over the recent months! I love meeting like-minded and motivated women, and I'm so inspired by this little city of ours and all the passion that it holds.
4. What do you think is the one item every woman must have in her closet?
Hm. This is tough. I would say that every woman should own one item that makes her feel powerful and sexy. Personally, I love to wear dresses. As a woman, nothing makes me feel more feminine or confident. There is a very distinct difference in the days that I just throw on a pair of casual pants and a cardigan for work, and the days that I put on a pencil dress with my favorite heels. It just makes me feel good. Every woman should have that item in her closet—whatever that is to you.
5. Where are your favorite places to shop in the city?
I love No. 14 Boutique. I love supporting a local business, and, because the store is so close to my home, it's the perfect go-to for everything from weekend casual sweaters to special occasion dresses. Everything in the store is feminine, flirty and fun. I could spend hours taking in all of the eye candy!
Of course, because I am a classic kinda gal, I also frequent J.Crew. For that timeless look that I love so much, I know I won't go wrong. You can probably find me perusing the Walnut Street location at least once a week.
6. What are you goals for the blog going into 2016?
My main goal is to focus on growing my community. My first year of blogging was very casual, and mostly a trial period to see how I felt about the whole "blogging thing". My second year, 2015, was about establishing a brand, honing my style and creating a user-friendly site. 2016 is all about you guys, my readers and fellow bloggers. I would love to connect, and learn from one another.

As I'm writing this on 4 June, it is 6 degrees Celcius outside and all but snowing (actually, it looks like it has been snowing in the mountains). Not fair.
May was a busy month for me, and between having a friend staying for a while and my trip to Scotland I didn't get much reading done. But that's okay – I've still read more books than this time last year and I'm still ahead of my 45 books in 2011 challenge. I will be staying home all summer except for 3 days in June when I go to Oslo to see Bon Jovi in concert (wheee!!), so I should have plenty of time to sit in the sun and read. Or more likely sit inside in the rain and read.

Yarra Ranges is known for its creative communities. Its uniqueness is consistently expressed through art, design, performance and storytelling, providing a dynamic foundation for local culture.
This strategy will ensure that creativity through arts, culture and heritage remains central to how we live.
In 2018 we will use the feedback we gathered from our community engagement process to develop a draft Creative Communities Strategy.
We will be seeking feedback on the draft strategy from our communities before it is finalised.
Please stay tuned to our news page for updates on the project.
Between August and September 2017 we undertook community engagement initiatives to hear your thoughts.
Our Creative Communities Forum attracted 180 attendees, 12 speakers and panellists which coordinated 7 interactive workshops.
The mobile Culture Bucks program went to 18 locations across Yarra Ranges, receiving feedback from 1,000 participants about their cultural priorities.
An online survey gathered feedback from 217 participants and in-depth focus groups were held with 100 people from Council's partners and advisory committees.
These key themes will be used to develop the draft strategy which will be shared in early 2018

Fabio Capello jets in eager to land England deal worth £5m a year
Fabio Capello is expected to fly to London by private jet this morning to thrash out the deal that will lead to him becoming the first Italian manager of England. A salary of about £5 million a year and his backroom staff are the main issues for fine-tuning, although the former AC Milan and Real Madrid coach has already made it plain to the FA that he wants the job.
Capello, who was in Madrid yesterday to retrieve some belongings, has cleared his diary and will not work as a television pundit at tonight's Champions League match between AS Roma and Manchester United so that he can travel to England.
The FA is confident that there will be no last-minute hitches - or a need to…

A deficit and fallout for the Winter Classic
The Winter Classic, held in Drummondville from February 9 to 11, 2018, suffered a deficit of $ 143,981 because of lower ridership, but generated an estimated $ 632,380 in spin-offs, including spectator spending of $ 289,090. $ and local purchases in the order of $ 343,290.
The media impact was evaluated at $ 473,103 for a total of $ 1,166,122. Mayor Alexandre Cusson encouraged the various cities and organizations to hold this event.
The Drummondville Voltigeurs faced outdoor matches at the Sherbrooke Phoenix and the Victoriaville Tigres on February 9 and 10. The Cantoners of Magog also played the victory to the Gauls of Saint-Hyacinthe during the weekend.
The Classic attracted a total of 11,781 spectators over the weekend: 9716 for the two games of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and 2065 for the Quebec Midget AAA Hockey League game.
"The comments were unanimous about the experience and the atmosphere. Whether as a spectator, a player, a volunteer, a coach or a parent, the Drummondvillois and visitors to the rendez-vous have had a unique experience. Like City, we can say mission accomplished. This event contributed to the happiness of our citizens this year. I still have chills while thinking back to the electrifying atmosphere, "said Mr. Alexandre Cusson, Mayor of Drummondville by way of press release.
"Our fans, volunteers, partners, players and staff have had an amazing experience. All will retain memorable memories. The Classic once again crystallized Drummondville's sense of belonging to their junior hockey team. Moreover, it has been beneficial on the audience at the Marcel-Dionne Center in the final right of the regular season and in the playoffs. Finally, what about the positive effect of this event on the reputation of our team, "added Eric Verrier, president of the Drummondville Voltigeurs.

Don Nelson Pre Purchase Consultancy & Feasibility Services
When the current owners walked on to this beautiful cliff top site, they instantly fell in love with the stunning views and peaceful location. However the existing building, landscaping and pool (photo to the right) were somewhat tired and outdated with no architectural merit.
Don Nelson was approached to undertake a visual pre-purchase feasibility. Don could see the potential of the existing structure being incorporated into a resort style clifftop property making an architectural statement.
On Don's advice, the clients purchased the property and commissioned him to prepare sketch concept plans.
A tiered poolscape and sweeping balconies bring a touch of magic to this contemporary clifftop property. To create a link from the indoor and outdoor living areas, the two pools were stepped – the higher plunge pool has an infinity edge, so the water falls down to the existing swimming pool on the lower level. By night, lights illuminate the entire area.
During the design stage, Don Nelsons will always discuss the prospective 'construction systems' and materials to be used during the build stage. This ensures the 'design team' and the 'build team' end up on the same page. We do have a list of 'selected' builders, who have worked successfully with us in the past. We can obtain competitive quotes from these selected builders who bring their 'approved' high calibre subcontractors with them. This builds an informal quality control into the construction process. We can recommend these builders as they are familiar with our systems and comfortable with the attention to detail we require throughout the build. We can also work with your builder if required. Don Nelson Architecture stay in close contact with the build team during construction, providing discussion/liaison, and additional instructions as required to ensure completion to the client's satisfaction. We also have interior design consultants, landscape designers and pool designers among others available to our clients.
The sense of grandeur continues on the inside – an imported marble staircase is a key feature of the double height entry. This echoes the curved architectural language of the exterior. The Mediterranean-style interior is also defined by exposed structural columns and open, flowing living spaces.More images on Portfolio

My boyfriend bought me this and I love it! It's a great Fall/Winter scent. It's strong but not cloying, sweet but not gourmand. I wear it day and night, although some people might think it's more of a night time, going out scent.
From Fragrantica: "Notes of coffee, present in large quantities, dominate the scent. Additional accords are pink pepper, orange blossom, jasmine, vanilla, patchouli and cedar."
I'm a coffee fiend and love oriental vanilla fragrances, so that might explain my attraction to this perfume. The sillage is strong at first but dies down after about an hour. I would probably need to respray this every 4-5 hours.
I would describe this perfume as warm, feminine, cozy, inviting, sensual, and glamorous.

I love this fragrance, its very sweet and musky, i think its very unique and different from all the perfumes girls my age wear. It lasts all day but the packaging bothers me a bit because you cant tell how much you have left. I know that its quite expensive but its YSL so what could you expect?

I was looking for a soft fragrance that wasn't cloying nor too floral. I used to wear Angel which was far too sweet and Sicily from D&G which is now discontinued.
The original Opium is far too spicy and musky. Black Opium is much softer and sweeter and is the sort of fragrance I can wear everyday without worrying that I am suffocating anyone.
I just bought it yesterday, so I can't say it's my favourite perfume just yet... I find that I need to apply a lot so that when it dries down, there is still some scent on my skin.
But the scent itself would suit anyone who enjoys a soft gourmand and patchouli. :)

Twenty-five killed as explosions rock US occupation headquarters in Baghdad.
Reuters reported on Tuesday afternoon that Iraqi puppet police sources had announced that 25 persons were killed in an Iraqi Resistance explosion that slammed into the headquarters of the US occupation in the occupied Iraqi capital.
The source said that three mortar rounds had been fired from within the area of the so-called green zone.
The correspondent for al-Jazeera said that the sound of a loud explosion was heard, followed by the sound of gunfire.
The puppet police source quoted by Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that a total of seven explosions went off inside the US aggressor headquarters in occupied Baghdad. The explosions followed the announcement of the new puppet president of Iraq, a stooge of Washington.
Al-Jazeera reported eyewitnesses as saying that they heard four explosions in the US headquarters, the so-called green zone the area around the Republican Palace occupied by US aggressor troops and now serving as their national headquarters.
The US aggressor propaganda offices themselves had no immediate information on the Resistance attack or the extent of casualties and damage it caused.
Iraqi Resistance attacks US column near Saddam International Airport.
An Iraqi Resistance detachment attacked a US military column that was marching on the highway from al-Harithiyah towards Saddam International Airport in Baghdad. The operation destroyed one US transport vehicle. Mafkarat al-Islams correspondent reported that the extent of US casualties could not be ascertained. Eyewitnesses said they were prevented from going past the scene. The US column stopped at the scene for between an hour and an hour and a half as a result of the blast, which occurred at about 11:00am local time on Tuesday.
Iraqi Resistance explosion strikes puppet so-called Iraqi foreign ministry building.

Resistance destroys two US Humvees, killing and wounding American aggressors near al-Mahmudiyah.
Iraqi Resistance fighters on Tuesday destroyed two US aggressor Humvees that were in an American column of 12 vehicles. The attack took place around 2:00pm on the road to al-Mahmudiyah, south of Baghdad. The two Humvees blew up when an Iraqi Resistance bomb exploded burning one of the cars completely and killing the driver in the other, as the blast was in his area. Two other US soldiers who were riding in that vehicle were also injured according to the correspondent of Mafkarat al-Islam who filed the report late on Tuesday.
Resistance destroys US Humvee.
An Iraqi Resistance bomb destroyed one US aggressor Humvee at about noon on Tuesday, according to a report filed by the Mafkarat al-Islam. The bombing occurred south of Baghdad on the road to al-Musayyib, and it left the vehicle ablaze. The correspondent had no information on the extent of losses suffered by the Americans in the Resistance attack.
One US invader soldier wounded southwest of Baghdad Tuesday.
Al-Jazeera satellite TV reported on Tuesday that one US aggressor soldier was wounded in a bomb explosion in al-Jihad neighborhood southwest of Baghdad after his convoy of three Humvees passed into the area.
Pole kidnapped by Iraqi Resistance.
The Polish News Agency reported on Tuesday evening that Iraqi Resistance forces had kidnapped two Poles in Baghdad, one of whom, however, managed to get away.
Reuters reported the Polish announcement saying that the press office of the so-called multinational forces serving the US occupation of Iraq had confirmed the news and indicted that the two Poles work for a construction company profiteering from the US occupation.
US aggressor propaganda machine admits one Marine killed Monday.
The US military occupation announced on Tuesday that one US Marine invader had been killed in operations on Monday in al-Anbar Province. Al-Anbar Province is the area in which al-Fallujah is located. The American aggressors provided no further details regarding the lastest reported casualty of the mounting Iraqi Resistance.
Kurdish chauvinist party headquarters attacked in Irbil.
The headquarters of the collaborationist chauvinist Kurdish organization called the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan in Irbil came under Iraqi Resistance attack as a number of mortar shells slammed into the building. A report filed early on Tuesday morning by the Egyptian Middle East News Agency said that no information was then available on casualties but that the building was severely damaged. Officials of the Kurdish chauvinist organization accused followers of Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr of being behind the attack.
US halts patrols of an-Najaf and al-Kufah for 48 hours.
An Iraqi puppet official said on Tuesday morning that US patrols in the cities of al-Kufah and an-Najaf would be halted for a period of 48 hours in order to allow the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia loyal to Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr to withdraw and to allow the Iraqi puppet police to deploy in their stead.
The Egyptian Middle East News Agency reported that Haydar as-Sufi, a representative of Ahmad al-Barrak, a Shii collaborator member of the puppet so-called interim governing council of Iraq that an agreement had been reached that the US forces would halt their patrols for 48 hours. He said, however, that final confirmation that the US had accepted the halt was still awaited. The statement followed a meeting of US representatives, representatives of Shii politicians, and the governor of an-Najaf that dealt with ways to find ways to end the fighting that continued to rage in the cities after the conclusion of a cease-fire arrangement between the US and the Jaysh al-Mahdi.
The spokesman said that it was possible that Iraqi puppet police might deploy in an-Najaf as early as Tuesday.
Battles in the district of Baghdad that has been nicknamed Madinat as-Sadr between the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia loyal to Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr and US aggressor troops raged on Tuesday evening. Although casualties on both warring sides were unknown as of Tuesday evening, al-Jazeera TV reported in Baghdad that fighting just hours before in the same location left three Jaysh al-Mahdi militiamen dead after the US attempted to storm the district with the ostensible aim of taking wanted persons captive.
Jaysh al-Mahdi, US reportedly reach agreement.
Meanwhile the US puppet governor of an-Najaf, Adnan az-Zarafi, declared that the crisis between the Jaysh al-Mahdi and the US invaders had ended. Az-Zarafi told the press that the US side had agreed to three conditions laid down by Muqtada as-Sadr. A fourth condition of as-Sadrs was postponed until a later date. That condition had to do with the dissolution of the Jaysh al-Mahdi. The current agreement gives the militiamen who came to the city from elsewhere 72 hours to leave an-Najaf.
Puppet so-called governing council replaced by another puppet US stooge authority in media circus.
In a meaningless publicity event, reported by al-Jazeera TV, the puppet so-called Iraqi interim governing council installed and run by the US occupation forces, unanimously agreed to dissolve itself either on Tuesday or Wednesday in order to transfer its power to a puppet so-called interim government also run by and for the US occupation forces.
The purpose of the publicity stunt is to try to hoodwink the world into the delusion that democratic self rule of Iraqis is being installed under the treads of American occupation tanks. The Iraqi Resistance has pledged to treat all the so-called officials in the so-called interim government as it treated the officials in the so-called governing council namely as traitors collaborating with the invader.

Huge explosions shake US base in Kirkuk as Resistance rocket blows up US ammunition depot.
Al-Jazeera satellite TV reported on Wednesday evening that huge explosions had shaken the US aggressor military base in Kirkuk, northern Iraq. Al-Jazeera quoted Iraqi puppet police sources as saying that an Iraqi Resistance rocket had slammed into an American ammunition depot on the base.
The US aggressors remained silent on their losses into Wednesday night. An American military propaganda spokesman claimed that they had received no reports of dead or injured as a result of the series of explosions that resulted from a rocket striking a US ammunition stockpile.
Reuters reported that rockets and grenades could be seen in the night sky over the Kirkuk Airport which the US invaders took over as their regional headquarters. Warning sirens wailed after the first blast that took place at about 10:00pm local time.
Chaos reigned after that for an hour and a half, according to a Reuters dispatch.
Adnan Hadi, who lives some 500meters from the base, said you could see rockets taking off and falling back down everywhere within the base. The windows shattered in buildings near the base, just from the power of those explosions that were going off inside the base, he said.
Residents nearby could hear loudspeakers inside the base telling the soldiers to remain under shelters.
The chief of the puppet police in the area, Burhan Tayyib, said that a Katyusha rocket struck a weapons depot. The chief of puppet police for the entire city, Major General Turhan Yusuf said that the Resistance fighters had fired a number of mortars that struck a weapons depot in Kirkuk Airport, causing numerous explosions and igniting a fire that spread to all parts of the airport.
Agence France Presse (AFP) reported that an hour after the initial blast, explosions could still be heard in the area which was covered in a thick cloud of black smoke.
Blast rocks al-Azamiyah in Baghdad Wednesday morning.
Iraqi puppet police reported that at least four persons were killed and 20 others wounded when a car bomb exploded on a crowded street al-Azamiyah neighborhood in Baghdad on Wednesday morning. An officer in the puppet police told the press at the scene that an explosive device blew up in a street crowded with passersby and workers in the neighborhood of northern Baghdad.
A Reuters cameraman said he saw several bodies being taken to hospital. Hospital employees confirmed that the bodies were taken from the scene of the explosion.
Al-Jazeera satellite TV reported late on Wednesday morning that an explosion shook Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz street in the al-Azamiyah neighborhood of Baghdad. Al-Jazeeras correspondent said that there were reports of a number of injuries as a result of the blast, and that the wounded were taken to an-Numan Hospital in Baghdad.
US besieges, bombards Rawa city in al-Anbar Province.
US aggressor troops on Wednesday morning surrounded the town of Rawa in al-Anbar Province west of Baghdad. According to the Egyptian Middle East News Agency (MENA), American invader helicopters were, at the time of the report, bombarding positions in the city where the Americans allegedly believe that Resistance fighters are holed up.
No further details about the nature of the US aggressors operation was provided by the MENA.
Al-Arabiyah satellite TV also reported the American campaign against Rawa, noting that the city had been sealed off from the outside world and that the Americans were offering no explanation of the nature of their activity in the besieged city. US helicopter gun ships continued shelling the city into the afternoon after a morning of barrages.
Eyewitnesses from the area said that the US aggressor troops prevented school students from going to take their exams. The residents of the city called on the newly appointed puppet so-called Iraqi minister of education to intervene to solve the problem and decide what to do regarding students who missed their exams and would normally be expected to repeat the school year.
A resident of Rawa, speaking by telephone to the press, said that very large numbers of US aggressor troops were in the streets of the city, and that there were also very large numbers of US aggressor aircraft in the skies overhead. He added that the occupation forces had been raiding various houses in his area. The resident, speaking by telephone, denied that the US attacks were aimed at Resistance fighters holed up in the city, saying that the US invaders began their massive operation at precisely 4:00am.
Two US troops wounded as Resistance mortar shells crash into US base in Kirkuk.
Several Iraqi Resistance mortar shells crashed into the US headquarters in the Tall al-Ward area of the northern city of Kirkuk on Tuesday-Wednesday night. Informed puppet security sources in Kirkuk told the Egyptian Middle East News Agency (MENA) that at least two American troops had been wounded as a result of the shelling. US aggressor troops closed all roads leading to the city of Kirkuk as a result of the Resistance barrage, and began carrying out searches in an attempt to capture the Resistance fighters.
US puppet security forces foil two assassination attempts on Kurdish chauvinist leaders.
According to statements by puppet security forces in occupied Irbil, US aggressor forces and their puppet Kurdish security stooges in northern Iraq foiled two attempts to assassinate Kurdish chauvinist collaborationist political leaders in Irbil, the lair of Masud al-Barizani, Chairman of the so-called Kurdistan democratic party.
US invader forces disarmed a bomb that the Iraqi Resistance had planted in a garbage basket in front of the home of Ahmad Yaqub, a member of the local so-called Kurdish parliament, barely three minutes before it was to explode, protecting the life of their stooge.
The US occupation troops disarmed a second bomb weighing 10kg that had been concealed in front of the home of Hamad Amin Sadiq, an official in the Kurdish chauvinist so-called Kurdistan democratic party.
A puppet security source told the Egyptian Middle East News Agency that they were still working to foil other assassination attempts and attacks in the city which have recently become more common.
US aggressor forces continue to battle Jaysh al-Mahdi in al-Kufah, Baghdad.
Iraqi puppet government officials acknowledged on Wednesday that violent battles were still raging on Wednesday between the US aggressors and the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia, loyal to Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr in the cities of al-Kufah and in Baghdad. Those sources said that the fighting had so far left six people dead and more than 40 wounded.
Loud explosions shook the industrial section of the city of al-Kufah as Shii religious authorities, sympathetic with the US occupation, strove to make the fragile cease fire stick. That cease fire, however, has been massively violated each day since it was proclaimed mainly by the religious leaders under US pressure.
Eyewitnesses say they saw a mortar shell flying from inside al-Kufah towards a US military convoy. The shell missed the convoy, but intense gunfire can still be heard on the deserted streets of the city, particularly after Jaysh al-Mahdi militiamen took cover near one of their mosques, and since US aggressor troops began to move in tanks and armored Humvees to carry out patrols in various parts of the city.
The Ameircan Associated Press (AP) reported local medical sources as saying that some five people had been killed and two militiamen wounded in the battles in al-Kufah on Wednesday.
US aggressor troops battled with the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia on the outskirts of al-Kufah on Wednesday morning, according to the website of al-Bayan newspaper from the United Arab Emirates.
Eyewitnesses reported that the battles took place on the northern approaches to the city of al-Kufah in as-Sahlah area. US aggressor troops attempted to enter the district but were repulsed by intense gunfire from the Jaysh al-Mahdi.
Jaysh al-Mahdi fighters accused the US forces of constantly attempting to break the truce by causing provocations against the sentiments of the local people.
Early on Wednesday, a hospital source in al-Kufah reported that the battles between the Americans and the Jaysh al-Mahdi in the past two days and on Wednesday morning left three Iraqis dead and seven others wounded.
Meanwhile during the day in the Baghdad district nicknamed Madinat as-Sadr, an area regarded as a stronghold of Muqtada as-Sadr in the Iraqi capital, Jaysh al-Mahdi militiamen and US aggressor forces exchanged gunfire, leaving one militiaman dead and three others wounded.
US aggressors punish Spanish police in Iraq by excluding them from security zones.
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported on Tuesday that US occupation authorities in Iraq have imposed restrictions on the movement of Spanish police officers in Iraq, and have subjected them to searches, all, apparently in revenge for Spains military withdrawal from Iraq.
There are about 12 members of a Spanish police unit for special operations in Iraq whose role is reportedly to guard the Spanish embassy and Spanish diplomatic employees. After Madrid resolved to withdraw its 1,300 troops from Iraq, the US occupation authorities gave passes to the Spanish police officers that do not permit them to move within the security zones in Baghdad which are subjected to intensified security measures.
El Mundo reported, on authority of a report in al-Khalij newspaper, that the Spaniards are subjected to protracted searches and they are not allowed to refill their fuel tanks except in petrol stations outside the security zones, where they could be easily attacked.

Iraqi Resistance targets mortars on the Italian invader embassy in Baghdad.
Reuters reported on Thursday afternoon that the Iraqi puppet police had announced that mortar shells had struck the Italian imperialist embassy in occupied Baghdad. Several Iraqis were reported wounded in the Resistance attack, but the official announcement said that no embassy staff members were injured.
Haytham al-Fadl, a guard at the Italian aggressor embassy, claimed that six Iraqis, including three children, were wounded in the attack.
Agence France Presse (AFP) for its part reported that two Iraqis had been killed and three others wounded in the mortar barrage.
Collaborator translator and human rights advocate killed in Resistance attack on Kirkuk.
Iraqi puppet police in the northern city of Kirkuk on Thursday announced that one Iraqi collaborator who worked as a translator for the American aggressors was burned to death in his car when the US base at the Kirkuk Airport came under Resistance Katyusha attack on Wednesday. Iraqi Resistance Katyusha rockets struck the American arms depot, igniting explosives that continued to detonate for over an hour and setting the entire base on fire. US sources have still admitted no American casualties as a result of the chaos of flame and explosions in their largest regional military center.
According to Iraqi puppet police Major General Shayrgo Shakir Hakim, the Resistance set fire to the car in which the Deputy Director of the Human Rights Institute in Kirkuk was traveling. Samir Abd al-Amir an-Nuaymi also served as a translator for the US forces at their so-called civilian operations headquarters.
General Hakim said that the burned remains of an-Nuaymis corpse were found inside the car. Hakim indicated that the fire was deliberately set.
The Iraqi puppet police indicated that the attack occurred after Resistance forces fired mortars and rockets at the US arms depot in the US base at Kirkuk Airport.
Battles break out in an-Najaf Thursday afternoon.
Fighting resumed in an-Najaf on Thursday afternoon between the US aggressor forces and the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia loyal to Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr. Hundreds of residents of the city have begun to flee the usually crowded streets in the center of the city, according to a report issued by Reuters.
Shopkeepers rushed to close the shutters on their stores and women and children hurried out of the line of fire.
The fighting once again shattered a cease fire announced several days ago between the two sides.
Five reported killed, 15 injured in US battles with Jaysh al-Mahdi in al-Kufah.
Iraqi hospital sources reported on Thursday morning, before the major fighting brokeout in an-Najaf, that five persons had been killed and 15 others wounded in battles between the Jaysh al-Mahdi militia loyal to Shii religious leader Muqtada as-Sadr and US aggressor forces in al-Kufah in southern Iraq.
Muhammad Abd al-Kazim, an official in the emergency section of Middle Euphrates Hospital told Agence France Presse (AFP) that five persons had been killed and nine others wounded in battles that occurred in the very early morning hours of Thursday.
In al-Hakim Hospital in an-Najaf, Mahdi Khuwayr, an emergency room official, said that six civilians had been wounded in battles in al-Kufah and that they had been transferred to the hospital in an-Najaf on Thursday morning.
Pro-American Shii cleric endorses US puppet government.
Pro-imperialist Shii cleric Ayatallah Ali as-Sistani expressed his absolute support for the puppet so-called interim government installed by the US occupation forces in Iraq. The new puppet regime, which replaces the so-called interim governing council is a thinly veiled American attempt to gain international recognition for its occupation and plunder of Iraq.
As-Sistani not only voiced support for the US puppet regime, but endorsed Washingtons effort to patch together a cover of international legitimacy for its criminal regime. As-Sistani urged the United Nations Security Council grant complete sovereignty to the US puppet regime.
In a statement quoted by the American Associated Press (AP) as-Sistani expressed confidence that the US-installed puppet government, which is a screen for the American occupations control of Iraq would succeed in demonstrating its competence and honest uprightness and successfully carry out the difficult tasks entrusted to it.
US blew up village wedding because of role in smuggling American fugitive soldiers out of Iraqi hell.
The background to American bombing raid on a village wedding party on 18 May, during which the bridegroom was killed along with over 40 other villagers, remains largely a mystery in the international media. After the bomb raid, which the Pentagon claimed was an attempted assault on Resistance fighters in the area of al-Qaim on the Syrian border, the American Associated Press (AP) broadcast video of the wedding, disproving the US militarys claims.
Now an Iraqi resident of the area has come forward with information, published by Quds Press and carried on Mafkarat al-Islams website, indicating that the real reason for the US attack had been to strike at a village and its elders who were involved, not in fighting the occupation, but in helping US troops escape from military service in Iraq.
The American occupation forces knew full well that we were having a wedding party. They intentionally bombed the wedding because the guests included several tribal chiefs and prominent persons from the western part of Iraq. The occupation forces hated the people of this region because they have been helping occupation soldiers to escape from Iraq, said the uncle of the martyred bridegroom, a local Iraqi resident who gave his name as Abu Azzam.
The village of Makr adh-Dhib, Abu Azzam explained, is between ar-Rabtah and al-Qaim, and is 125km from Husaybah on the Iraqi Syrian border. The people who live in the village are of the al-Bu Fahd tribes, a part of the large Arab Dulaym tribal federation in Iraq. They have played a big role in providing the Resistance with supplies, equipment, weapons, everything.
The American forces came to the village lots of times, Abu Azzam said, searching for weapons and Arab Resistance fighters. But they never found anything. But the thing that caused matters to come to a head was that we in Makr adh-Dhib were carrying out organized operations to smuggle American soldiers who wanted to flee the hell in Iraq out of the country. We were able to smuggle large numbers of those soldiers through our windows, windows that only a small number of people in the village know about. We would smuggle them for a price, that could go as high as $10,000 in some cases, plus the equipment that the soldier carried, Abu Azzam explained.
Abu Azzam told QudsPress, we were able to smuggle a number of US Army officers who were fleeing from Iraq out of the country. The last operation we carried out was just a few days before the Americans bombed the wedding. In that operation we smuggled 13 American soldiers out of Iraq. But apparently the American forces got wind of what we were doing. They encircled the village and took people in for questioning. It was then that we came to understand that they meant to do us harm, because they were very angry.
After that smuggling operation and then their interrogations, we realized that they were planning something against us. We became wary and started to make preparations to confront them. But we didnt know that they would respond in such a cowardly way, Abu Azzam explained.
It was on the night of the wedding of my nephew Muhammad Rakad al-Fahdawi, and after the invited guests had come people of the village and the surrounding area including tribal shaykhs and prominent personalities. During the afternoon the bride was brought from ar-Ramadi and it was after that that the American forces showed up with their Jeeps and tanks and helicopters and closed off the area. They pounded the wedding with 10 rockets of various types and also fired automatic weapons, Abu Azzam recounted.
The AP video, released days after the US attack, showed the wedding in progress before the US attack on 18 May that left more than 40 Iraqi celebrants dead.

Assessing the subsurface risks of a new venture is an integral part of any exploration program. Evaluating risk is even more challenging in frontier basins due to limited data control. When data is sparse, exploration geoscientists need to consider the bigger picture, using whatever information is available to build and calibrate a subsurface model that can be used to guide subsequent decision making.
But it's important to always keep in mind that a model is never completely accurate — it is simply a synthesis of the available data with sensible and realistic extrapolation applied. And as more data becomes available, the model will evolve accordingly. Despite these inherent limitations, a properly constructed and calibrated model can help geoscientists qualitatively assess risk in their basin, providing valuable insights and shedding new light on subsurface risks.
One of the best places to start any frontier exploration project is the interactive web portal by Exploration Insights, a product service line of Landmark. Featuring comprehensive regional geological data underpinned by a proprietary, global sequence stratigraphic model, Exploration Insights provides a geological framework for building a functional basin model, including depth surfaces, gross depositional environment maps, paleotopographic maps, and well and geochemical data.
This was recently demonstrated by Kate Evans, product specialist, Landmark, and Kathleen Gould, geoscientist, Landmark, using the Zambezi Delta Depression as an example. Employing Permedia® software, they constructed a detailed earth model using the Exploration Insights geological framework. They used the earth model, along with additional meta-information, to construct a full 3D basin model, with pressure and temperature calculated through time. This basin model was then used to understand the timing of source rock maturity and expulsion.
Where subsurface datasets are limited, regional understanding and analogues can be selected to produce a most likely case; however, sensitivity analysis is needed to understand the range of possible outcomes. Permedia software includes tools to quickly generate different scenarios to evaluate the impact of varying the most poorly understood parts of a basin's petroleum system. In this case, it was the source rock. By running migration simulations on a variety of source rock scenarios, Evans and Gould were able to test the results using sensitivity analysis to better understand the qualitative risks associated with the petroleum systems in the Zambezi Delta depression.
Where basins are concerned, there are no right or wrong interpretations, just varying degrees of uncertainty. These uncertainties need to be minimized. The qualitative risking technique used in this example is a relatively rapid method that provides insights into how basin models respond to different conditions, and into the range of subsurface risks. The results can be high graded for further qualitative and quantitative risking.
To learn more about sensitivity analysis application techniques, watch Kate Evans and Kathleen Gould's webinar "Capturing Uncertainty in Basin Modeling: Better Subsurface Risk Assessment in Frontier Basins."

A depleted Pars squad travels to Grangemouth to take on Falkirk in the Irn Bru Cup. The Pars are without 7 players while Falkirk are near full strength as international week has no relevance to their players.
Irn Bru Challenge Cup - Saturday 7 October 2017 - The Falkirk Stadium - KO 3.00pm
Allan Johnston was given the option of having tomorrow's Irn Bru Cup game against Falkirk postponed as Dunfermline have almost half a team away on international duty. The Pars boss decided to go ahead with the game regardless. Falkirk will be watched by new boss Paul Hartley, appointed earlier this week, although not officially in charge until after this game - clearly to avoid starting off his reign with a heavy defeat.
Stand-in Falkirk manager Alex Smith (born 1832) guided his team to their first League win of the season last weekend following the sacking of Peter Houston. Smith, a man with the charisma and personality of a dead sheep, will be back in the dugout tomorrow armed with a tartan rug and a bag of Werthers' Originals, trying to remember his players' names and feeling the cold in his ancient limbs. Falkirk will have gained confidence from their win at Morton last weekend, in the same way as the ugly, plooky laddie at the school disco gets a wee lift from getting a peck on the cheek from his female equivalent, wee fat Doris, the girl with the finest moustache in the fourth year.
Callum Smith has been recalled from Scotland Under 19 duty for this game - having played against France at Livingston, Smith will miss a less-vital close doors friendly to rejoin the Pars squad. Callum Morris, Ryan Williamson, Fraser Aird and Stuart Morrison are still away with their countries this weekend. Michael Paton and Joe Cardle are injured. Jean Yves M'Voto is back in training after injury but this game will probably come too soon for him.
Allan Johnston has used the Irn Bru Cup to experiment with his line-up but options are limited for tomorrow; added to that, this is Falkirk away and not a lower division team at home, and so a stronger line-up with the players who are available, with perhaps some changes, is more likely the way the team will be selected.
Lewis Martin could come in at right back or centre half. I have selected him at right back, with Big Nat moving into defence. Conner Duthie could come in at either fullback position, freeing up either Martin or Jason Talbot to play at centre half beside Lee Ashcroft.
The midfield should be the strongest possible, and so I have gone for just 1 change, Aaron Splaine coming in for Big Nat. Up front, Smith should start, at the expense of Nicky Clark.
Preferred starting 11, based on comments above:

text: Dual Channel CHIRP Using pulsed transmissions swept across a range of frequencies, CHIRP technology delivers target resolution and depth penetration superior to traditional single-frequency sonar. This dual-channel CHIRP transducer operates in the 28-60 kHz Low CHIRP frequency range with a 23-9° beam width, and the 150-250 kHz High CHIRP frequency range with a 25° beam width. With Low CHIRP, the CM599LH-W provides an operating depth of up to 2400 m (8000 ft). Wide Angle CHIRP Ideal for anglers, the CM599LH-W's wide-angle technology delivers a constant 25° beam width across the transducer's 150-250 kHz High CHIRP frequency range. This achieves up to double the coverage beneath your boat, and provides enhanced fish detection in the upper water column, versus the narrower beam of other high-frequency CHIRP transducers. Depth/Temperature One sensor does it all. Able to measure both depth and temperature in a single package, the CM599LH-W simplifies installation and requires just one connection to your echosounder module or multifunction display. Mounting With epoxy housing, the CM599LH-W is suitable for tank, pocket or keel mounting in fiberglass hulls only. Pocket- or keel-mounting installs the transducer flush to the hull in a custom pocket, providing minimal drag and good high-speed performance. Boat builders may incorporate this transducer in new hulls, and aftermarket installation is possible by routing a suitable hole and fiberglassing the transducer in place. Tank-mounting places the transducer in a seawater-filled tank on the outside of the hull, with the active face and sides of the transducer exposed to seawater inside the tank. A hole must be drilled through the hull for the transducer cable to enter via a stem or stuffing tube. Calculate the beamwidth for this transducer CM599LH-WFrequencyCone AngleBeamwidth 130 kHz 26° 210 kHz 24° 40 kHz 23° 60 kHz 9° Depth: feetmetres Update NB: depending on the strength of your transducer pulse

This blog has always been about what I think. But not really much about me. Small distinction I know, but still I don't provide a whole lot of details about my life here. Well by trade I am a Database Programmer. As such my name occupies a place in the roll of the TECHIE. A TECHIE is anyone that makes adept use of technology such that people around them recognize them as at least a semi-authority. Once you are deemed a TECHIE, there are several things that happen, most of which are at first flattering, but quickly annoying. I've found that there are likely several parallels in the fields of medicine, law, and auto repair.
2. Is this a good one? - The technologically inclined will usually spend quite a bit of time evaluating and finally purchasing technology. Getting the best bang for the technological buck is somewhat of an internal competition among the TECHIE lot. That's why it is particularly infuriating when a commoner just happens to buy some bit of hardware be it a Monitor or a Tablet computer, and it just happens to be the best or close to it and we the techie watch as you use maybe 20% of it's overall capacity. Why don't you just hit us in the collective head with a tire iron.
Well, this will be the penultimate original entry for by blog this year. The only reason I say so, is because there are so few occasions to actually use the word. Get your Holiday shopping done and enjoy the season!
It is really my own cooked up top 10 lists. Sometimes serious, usually tongue in cheek. Please click on a bunch of advertisers. Somewhere I will get blessings in advertiser heaven. Click on the Follower section and become a fan with a reminder. It's easy and sometimes fun. Thanks!

Ok, come help me with this stupid thing. It isn't posting my comments.

Oh man, oh man oh man. You forgot the one about "I swear, I reset it. I did. And then I clicked on the thing like you said. It was NOT working. It wasn't. It did this other stupid thing every single time I clicked on there. Until you clicked on there, and now it's working." And then the picture of your face every time I say that to you.

In 'Behold the Dreamers,' the American dream and immigrant reality collide
HARI SREENIVASAN: Tomorrow night here in Washington, the prestigious PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction will be given.
Jeffrey Brown talks with the winning author, the latest in our NewsHour Bookshelf series.
JEFFREY BROWN: An immigrant couple from West Africa working for a wealthy New York family as the great recession is about to hit in 2008.
The novel "Behold the Dreamers" is a story of the contemporary American dream through the lens of class, race and immigration.
Author Imbolo Mbue came to the U.S. from Cameroon in 1998 and became a citizen in 2014. This is first nurse novel.
And because of that, even more congratulations to you.
IMBOLO MBUE, Author, "Behold the Dreamers": Thank you, Jeffrey.
JEFFREY BROWN: You're working here in a great American fiction tradition about immigration. What did you want to bring to that story? What did you want to tell?
IMBOLO MBUE: Well, when I start writing this novel, it wasn't very much about immigration. It was about the financial crisis.
I was very interested in how the financial crisis affected the lives of New Yorkers from different economic statutes. So I wanted to write about an immigrant from my country who gets a job as a chauffeur (INAUDIBLE) executive, but, of course, an immigrant coming here for the American dream and facing the financial crisis, I wanted to write about how that affected him and how — and also explore like the dreams and hopes he has himself when he came to America.
So, I ended up writing about the immigrant experience, coming here, realizing what America really is like, and also deciding whether it is really worth staying here.
JEFFREY BROWN: So, these characters, the main characters, Jende and Neni, from Cameroon, they're experiencing both sides of the American dream.
They tell us that they see it as both wonderful and awful at the same time.
IMBOLO MBUE: Yes.
It's very complex, this idea of the American dream, because, on one hand, when we're back in our countries, we especially, when I was growing up in Cameroon, we had this image of American being the sort of promised land, and this country where you go to and you work hard and you get to achieve this life, a lot of material success, a house and nice cars and (INAUDIBLE) accounts.
And that is what they came for, Jende and Neni. And then they got here, and they see the realities of social — a lot of social issues, economic inequity, and racism and sexism, and all of those issues.
And they have to deal with it. And they also have — see what it's like for people who achieve the dream.
JEFFREY BROWN: But by doing that and by setting it in that period, you're also raising question of class, right?
IMBOLO MBUE: Right.
JEFFREY BROWN: But, as a writer, you have to see this couple — you have to see everybody with some sympathy.
IMBOLO MBUE: Right, right, right.
JEFFREY BROWN: Right?
So, the Edwards family, which is wealthy …
IMBOLO MBUE: Right.
JEFFREY BROWN: … and the immigrant family, they get along. They don't get along. There are all kinds of clashes.
But for you, what? What are they?
IMBOLO MBUE: Well, for me, it was, I had a lot of empathy for the immigrants, because I am an immigrant. I am from the same town where Jende and Neni come from.
So I know those struggles. The struggles of the Edwards, the 1 percent, people who have that amount of privilege, is not something that I have dealt with during my life. So I had to push myself to think about, what are their struggles, and what does it take to hold this dream life together? Because they do have the dream life.
They have a house in the Hamptons. They live on the Upper East Side. They have so many privileges. And yet they have their own struggles. So, on one hand, I had one family that was living the dream and that family growing after the dream. And when the recession happened, both families had to deal with the consequences.
JEFFREY BROWN: You referred to your own background. How much is this your story?
IMBOLO MBUE: In many ways, you know, I was like Jende and Neni, in the fact that, when I came here, I thought America would be a sort of promised land.
And I do believe that it is a wonderful country. I think it's a country that offers a lot of immigrants. But, at the same time, this American dream, what I have seen is that it's not accessible, and that somebody like Jende, a black man without a good education, and he's also dealing with not having papers, that somebody like that, the odds of moving out of poverty is very difficult.
JEFFREY BROWN: You're also dealing in this very difficult and divisive issue over illegal immigration, because they overstay what they're allowed to.
IMBOLO MBUE: Right, right, the visa.
JEFFREY BROWN: They want to stay in the country. They're facing deportation.
So, you know there's a great debate in the country over this.
IMBOLO MBUE: Right.
JEFFREY BROWN: I mean, you portray them as sympathetic characters who want to work hard.
IMBOLO MBUE: Right. Right.
JEFFREY BROWN: But you know that there are plenty of people who would say, well, I'm sorry, you're not playing by the rules.
IMBOLO MBUE: Right. Right.
And it is a very, very complex issue. I think that, for me, as a writer, that my job is to tell the story and let the reader decide: Should I empathize with people like Jende who don't have papers, or I should vilify them?
I don't — this is not a moralizing story. I think people can read my book and use it as pro-immigration or use it as anti-immigration argument. My place is to tell the story honestly and completely.
But I think that it is important to understand each other's stories. It's so easy to put people in a box and say, oh, people without any papers, but who are these people, what are their stories?
And I also am a citizen, right? So, I also understand the citizen perspective. I am an immigrant and I'm a citizen, and I know what it's like to be both and to understand that desire to come here and work hard, but also that desire to, like, think about America's future.
JEFFREY BROWN: Let me ask you finally, as I said, this is your first novel. And you won a big award. That's got to be a bit of a surprise, a welcome surprise, right, for a young writer.
IMBOLO MBUE: Yes. Yes, it is a good privilege.
I started writing this book when I was unemployed. I had lost my job at the end of the financial crisis.
JEFFREY BROWN: So, this hit — that hit you personally?
IMBOLO MBUE: Yes. Yes. Yes.
And I thought that writing a story about people from my hometown and other New Yorkers who I have met in some ways and talk about their own struggles. And then I got a novel, and it got published. And to win an award like the PEN/Faulkner, it is a great honor.
JEFFREY BROWN: All right.
Well, the award-winning book is "Behold the Dreamers."
Imbolo Mbue, thank you very much.
IMBOLO MBUE: Thank you, Jeffrey.
