Geological Sciences Ph.D. student, Felix Ziwu (Advisor: Diana Doser) has received a scholarship from the Alaska Geological Society. Felix will use this scholarship to support his research in the Cook Inlet basin and the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska where he is studying how the collision of tectonic plates is causing subsidence of Cook Inlet and the uplift of the Kenai Peninsula. This very low angle of subduction transmits considerable stress onto the overlying North American plate which causes some of the most intense deformation and largest earthquakes observed in the world.
The focus of Felix's research is to determine what is driving these increased deformation rates; is it due to serpentinization or to flat slab subduction? If serpentinization is the cause, then there should be serpentinization beneath the Kenai Peninsula and not beneath Cook Inlet because the Kenai Peninsula is rising relative to Cook Inlet. Felix is proposing to use various geophysical methods to determine the locations and extent of serpentinized rocks in the area and will also collect additional gravity data to fill-in gaps on the Kenai Peninsula. By combining multiple geophysical studies, Felix hopes to determine the properties of the crust to a depth of about 20 km in an effort to resolve this question.
Felix has also recieved a travel scholarship for the EarthScope National Meeting, to be held in Anchorage, Alaska from May 16-18, 2017, where Felix will present the results and interpretations of his Ph.D. research.

PHILADELPHIA, Friday—Last night we gave the largest dinner of the season, the one for the diplomats. Very few government officials come to this dinner, but the Secretary of State and Mrs. Hull always attend and, as Mrs. Hull also lunched with me yesterday, she told me the Secretary had inquired if she had decided to live permanently with us.
The uniforms and decorations make this a very colorful party. After dinner we had a very delightful entertainment with Miss Rose Bampton, soprano; Mr. Joseph Bentonelli; tenor, and Miss Catherine Littlefield with two of her Philadelphia dance groups.
I was particularly interested in having Miss Littlefield because she has created a group which made a name for itself in Europe last summer and I think will do a great deal to create a wider interest in the American ballet in this country.
Mrs. Scheider and I left Washington for Philadelphia on the 8:00 o'clock train this morning. I spoke for the United Charities Campaign, in which Mrs. Curtin Winsor is interested. She met us at the train and brought our small grandson, Bill Roosevelt, who was allowed to be away from kindergarten for the morning. I missed him during his visit here for the Christmas holidays, so I was glad to have this chance of seeing him.
We had an hour and a half at the hotel before the meeting. My friend, Miss Chaney, who is dancing in Philadelphia, also came over to see me, so I combined business with pleasure.
I must tell you about a movement which has been brought to my attention by Mrs. Ann Nilburn of Beverly Hills, California. She tells me they have established an organization called: "Children's Service to Children" under the auspices of the Children's Protective Association. The purpose of this is to let the well provided for child assist and understand the needy child.
The youngest group—and there are nine different groups limited to twenty-one members each—consist of youngsters in the seventh and eighth grades. The oldest group are juniors and seniors in high school.
Grown-ups in the community apparently run a cottage where a group of maladjusted, unhappy children are cared for and restored to a normal, happy existence. This work is aided by the youngsters. They give parties for the children, know them individually and raise money for the needs of the cottage and the children. They come into contact with, and are guided by, two well trained case workers of the Children's Protective Association.
It seems to me this might be adapted to the needs of different communities. It might be a practical, sensible way of introducing youngsters to their own community at an early age.

It's a story as old as time itself. Well, ok, it's really only as old as the oldest thing in my fridge, and it goes a little something like this:
A man who may or may not be me stands in front of the fridge that may or may not be mine. The man has an item in his hand. And the man wonders...
"Is this still good?"
Since there's no one around to answer him, the man may or may not eat the item in question. Oh, who am I kidding. He's going to eat it.
There's a date stamped on the top of the package that indicates when the product was "best by," but it's not helpful at all. The date was the day before yesterday. And that's when it was... "best"?
...what does that even mean?
Does it mean he shouldn't eat it after that date? If so, how soon after? Does he need to finish eating it shortly after that date? Again, how soon after? Or, does it just become less awesome after that date? If so... how much less awesome? "Even the stuff I eat that's supposedly still good isn't always... y'know... Good ...so how do I know if this is bad?"
Sell By dates are even worse.
If you stop to think about it, a Sell By date is downright offensive. It's the store's way of saying "I don't give a rats ass if or when you eat this, but we want it out of our store by friday!" Gee, thanks for putting the customer first.
I don't care when something I bought in a grocery store should be sold. That's their problem. As for when it is best... I bought it now. I assume it's at its best now. If it isn't at its best yet, tell me when it is and I'll buy it then.
Once I've bought something, I just need to know when it will kill me. Up to that point, as far as I'm concerned, it's still good.
Here's what I really want: instead of providing me with a Best By date, give me a Bletch By date. Slap a label on there that says "If you haven't eaten this by March first… dude… the answer is NO." Usage of the word Dude would imply that they really really mean it. Really.
I don't think products should come with Best By dates.
I think people should.
Scenario #1:
"Wow, your ex was a bitch!"
"No, she was sweet. But we were together long before her Best By date."
Scenario #2:
"Wow, your ex was a bitch!"
"Yeah, but I dated her two years after her Best By date, so I've got nobody but myself to blame."
Scenario #3:
"Man, Rob, you're a jerk."
"Yeah, but before my Best By date, I used to be awesome, whereas you've always been a douche bag."
Best By dates: they should be for people, not products. You know I'm right. (Except maybe for the tub of butter from August 09. I'm pitching that!)

"I'm a poet, writer and post-marketer. If you're wondering what a post-marketer is, it's someone who began their marketing career in the 20th century and is now re-thinking a great deal, if not all, that they held dear. The rules of the game have changed beyond recognition. But not everyone seems to have noticed.
I've spent 18 years in online marketing – since the internet hit, basically. Affiliate marketing, SEO, writing for the web, then social media – I've been there at the start of it all. My copywriting experience spans hundreds of websites, blogs and social media, as well as print brochures, magazine advertorial. I'm also an experienced speaker, trainer, author and features writer on topics related to social media, blogging, online marketing and communications. There's more here about my books and poetry pamphlets.
Clients include, or have included writers and authors, individuals in PR, publishing, change management and communications, as well as organisations including Equiniti Group, John Lewis, Mogford Group, London Metropolitan University, Sussex University, Brighton University and a ton of small- to medium-sized businesses from vacuum pump manufacturers to boutique hotels.
Before the internet I had international marketing roles with Adidas and before that, Nike. You can see all the details on my LinkedIn profile. (I was one of the first 1,000 UK members there, by the way.)
I have an MA in Digital Media (distinction) from the University of Sussex. Before starting my own business in 2002, I was a freelance consultant then Marketing Director for a Brighton online agency specialising in SEO and affiliate marketing.
These days I pick and choose the interesting projects. If you are doing something interesting, are forward-looking and would like some help through the social media/online mire, please get in touch.
I'm a member of The Society of Authors and a Fellow of the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce).
I am based in Eastbourne, an hour and a half from London by Southern Rail on a good day."

You think your so damn different from me, that your better at everything. The difference that you came here to watch me, to feel what I feel. Then took it all in. You wonder how everything disappears, now you know. I won't come back, won't be there at the end. I watched you slip straight from my hands, cutting every string through and out. The trust I gave, praying it would mean something, was gone. You lied, and tricked your way through life, broke my every will to begin. After witnessing every fight, I finally struggled to close my eyes. I could scream and say nasty things, but that won't change what you did. I never expected it from you, the closest thing I had to sanity, the inspiration to keep from falling. Now it's all in the dirt of the most desolate graveyard. Like the dust is forming into the shape of the pain of every push you made. I risked all only for you to shake it apart. You stood by, letting them drown me, and blamed it all my way. You know what you did, I don't have to repeat it twice, I should've listened to her words. That it wasn't all what it seemed and to beaware and stay away. Funny, how the one thing I was taught to believe my whole life, was clouded by your influence. I shouldve been able to trust you, but my trust was in vain. Just another broken heart, feelings that don't matter anyway.

After the hectic release fest that was this year's Thought Bubble it was time for a more serene event this weekend as we headed to Bristol for the annual Bristol Comics and Zine Fair 2018, one of our favourite events on the indie and small press friendly convention circuit.
Rozi Hathaway
As one of our favourite events from 2016, this year's Bristol Comics and Zine Fair had sky high expectations, but they managed to more than managed to live up these high hopes thanks to an incredibly well run event packed full of exciting and diverse creators in a really fun and packed (and most importantly full!) venue.
This weekend sees the Bristol Comics and Zine Fair return to The Station in Bristol between 12.00 and 6.00. This free to enter event was one of our favourite shows last year and this year's event features an amazing line up of exhibitors, many of whom are familiar names for readers of the site, as well as some fantastic new up and coming creators.
Small Press means different things to different people. For some, it's a world of art students producing hand-printed fanzines put together with long-armed staplers. While for others, it represents the freedom to tell interesting and eclectic stories without needing approval from a publisher. And it's this diversity that we love – so we chose to celebrate it in the latest issue of our indie comics fanzine The Pull List, with our Discover Small Press issue! Available now from our Gumroad Store!
For as long we can remember Matthew Dooley and Dirty Rotten Comics seem to have been intertwined in our consciousness as we discovered them both at the same time and they continue have a bizarre symmetry with the latest releases. Keen to perpetuate this connection we take a look at Matthew's new book The Practical Implications of Immortality as well as the bumper 10th issue of the wonderful Dirty Rotten Comics.
"Colour gives far more of a feel to the story than my words ever could." Rozi Hathaway talks Cosmos, Njalla and more!
Small press sensation Rozi Hathaway is making quite the name for herself on the indie scene with her beautiful, through-provoking, poetic style. With a dreamy mix of painted artwork and minimalist story-telling, her latest book Cosmos And Other Stories was launched at Leamington Comic Con to critical acclaim, so we caught up with Rozi to find out more about what inspires her highly personal style of comic.
With Leamington Comic Con fast approaching us, we take a look at 4 books which are making their debut at this weekend's event, featuring: Darrell Thorpe's Sub Diablo: Great Titans; King Legacy #1, Rozi Hathaway's Cosmo and Other Stories; and Paul Rainey's Thunber Brother Special.

How to make Light and Fluffy Homemade Pancakes: Basic Breakfast Recipes
- 1 cup Buttermilk (or regular milk), Cold
- 1 Egg, separated (yolk & white)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract, liquid
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 cup Flour
- Preheat skillet to 350 degrees. (A regular non-stick frying pan is fine; over medium heat)
- In a medium mixing bowl, Mix your dry ingredients (baking powder, soda, & flour)
- In a second bowl, separate egg whites (using the shells to hold in the yolk and collect the white--You can also use an egg separator). Set whites in bowl aside. Put the egg yolk in a third small bowl, and move on to next step.
- Mix your wet ingredients (milk & vanilla) into the egg yolk.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients by pouring your wet ingredients into the dry. (Do not mix in whites yet.)
- Whip the egg whites you set aside, until frothy; then fold them into the batter. Mix thoroughly, in a folding motion, to eliminate any large lumps. This will also keep the mixture light and airy.
- Spray a light layer of cooking spray over your preheated skillet or frying pan
- Slowly pour the batter into little mounds on the skillet, letting it spread and even out on its own, until your desired pancake size is reached. (I let mine spread till about 6 inches in width)
- While cooking, the pancakes will start to form airy bubbles on top; you should only flip them once; so after about 3/4 of the bubbles on top have popped, check the bottoms and they should be perfectly browned. Flip them over, and cook the other side until equally browned. (Don't check them too early, otherwise you could compromise the form of the pancake)
- *This is just a basic pancake recipe, but if desired, you can absolutely add chocolate chips, blueberry's, or whatever else you'd like during the final mixing process.* Makes perfect fluffy pancakes every time! *Try with my recipe for sauteed breakfast potatoes for a completely satisfying breakfast meal*

Making sense of Postmodernsim…
The word postmodernism is more like a shorthand way of describing a whole style of contemporary culture.
Strinati's five ways to define post modernism:
1. The breakdown of the distinction between culture and society.
When things are more real in the media than in real life, the postmodern means people make sense of reality by referencing media texts. For example, ADVERTISMENT, a product used to be able to be successful by being a quality product how ever postmodernism means a poor quality product can still do well if it has great advertisement. Another example would be characters such as Bruno or Borat, we know more about these characters than we know about the person that plays then Sacha Baron Cohen. He is going along with postmodernism by staying in character when interviewed so the audience can carry on with this fake world that they love so much. This media reality becomes our reality and the disconnection between reality and media reality is reducing.
Baudrillard- Hyper-reality. Where this culture perceives the copy and more real than the original and the fake is more readily accepted than the original.
Jameson- Historical deafness. History is now documentaries where the historical knowlede is based on media representation. For example war films havce changed so much over the years in terms of reality of content however they are all about the same wars.
2. An emphasis on style at the expense of substence and content.
Celebrities: sometimes contemporary culture values appearences over function such as good looks over intelligence and talent.
Branding: somtimes the label of the item of clothing is more important than the product itself.
Style over substance: some celebrities are famous for being famous rather than for having an actual talent, a good example for this is for people who have been contestants on Big Brother.
Jameson: Meaning is lost in culture, there is no longer depth to our culture. The public then try and add depth by showing public displays of grief if a beloved celebritiy dies. It's like our way of saying "We do care, honest" when the week before the celebrity was nothing but entertainment to us.
3. The breakdown of the distinction between high culture and popular culture.
High art: opera, ballet, theatre
Popular Culture: avaliable to the masses
Postmoderism is about the line between these two groups being blurred and how high art is now avaliable for anyone and how the two are being intertwined without worry. Examples of this are pop songs with pieces of classical music in and Andy Warhol mixing pop art prints with the Mona Lisa.

I don't need to be any of those things. What I need is to know I am important/not taken for granted. But I've also had many different levels of relationships at one time. From my wife and nesting partner I only needed to know that we would stay that way.
I'm newish to poly (a few years in) and only know other poly couples that practice hierarchical poly. I'm trying to get a sense of how other poly people deal with their insecurities.
I personally don't have any need to feel best/most/only, but my poly meta is still struggling with these concepts. I'm hoping to brainstorm ways in which security in a relationship can be "felt" without an arbitrary insistence on best/most/only. Basically, how others take the focus off "what the Joneses have" and instead turn their focus toward "what we have".
My insecurities are mine. It's first up to me to recognize them, & to own them.
After that, it's up to me to ask others in my life for assistance, & to do so promptly & clearly & calmly. I have the right to ask for accommodation of my feelings, & for help in exploring them & maybe changing them into something I like better.
I consider it to be an entirely different question when asking how to support a meta dealing with these issues. I don't really think you can. If she wants to best first/most/best and is in a hierarchical relationship then that relationship structure probably supports her desires. I foresee temper tantrums, meltdowns, call and texts during "your" time, battles over who gets what restaurant and which vacations.
Have a look at solopoly.net. Somewhere on there Aggie posts the Secondaries Bills of Rights.
Me: mid 40s female.
Prof: late 50s. 5+ years.
Mr Dom: early 50s . Ex BF and now good friend.
Mr Six: early 50s. FWB for 3+ years.
Mr Lime: Early 50s. Recent meet. Kinky Dom.
You cannot help your meta with their issues.
Their issues/emotions/etc are theirs alone to deal with. Playing into their insecurity does nothing other than reinforce it and some times add fuel to the fire.
40 something straight female
Married in the eyes of the government to Butch since 2001...
Murf my monogamous second husband has been with me since May of 2012.
In a V relationship with an average 50/50 split of time between my two husbands.
To cope with insecurity, I focus on the idea that none of us is truly the "best, first, most, only" or whatever to anybody else. We have unique relationships, and some relationships naturally have a slight priority over others, but we try to mend fences if that happens. With Ares, I have a friendship that has continued for the majority of our lives. That friendship has survived moving from state to state, his first marriage and divorce, and my inability to settle down. With Renarde and Corsac, we were a triad before we joined our other three, and so we share those times and a good bond there.
Obviously, I have insecure moments like everyone else. Pregnancy hormone changes don't help. I worry about abandonment, especially by my GFs, but physical contact tends to resolve those temporary worries. Renarde is especially sensitive to those feelings, and tends to curl up with me automatically if I'm feeling that way. I know she's had abandonment worries since I got pregnant, thinking that Ares is now #1 in my life. Since she is very physical, I never say no to her or fail to make time for her when she wants to kiss, cuddle, or have sex. If I'm working or on my phone/laptop, I put those things away whenever I can tell that someone wants to interact with me. I want to make them feel valued and I appreciate the same gesture.

What's a big issue your backcountry community is facing?
I believe the biggest issue facing us is the threat of development. Following The Mountain Accord nothing has been set in stone, and there are plenty of stakeholders who seem to still want an interconnect, hotels, and tunnels linking the Central Wasatch into another box store complex

Can you give a bee a home?Use the sign up link below to be a part of Air Bee n' Bee, our project aimed at creating and testing solitary bee hotels across the country with your help!Most species of bee in the UK are solitary. Whilst some nest below the ground others nest in cavities such as old plant stems. Females create individual 'cells' inside the stems using mud or leaves, in which they lay an egg. Each cell is then stuffed full of pollen and the larvae are left to grow in the summer heat. Emerging as adults around April/May, the offspring chew their way out of the nest and go on to fulfil their role as pollinators.
Building your bee hotel is easy as can bee!!We will send you a starter pack to get you on your way to becoming a citizen scientist. It will include instructions on how to build the hotel, where to place it in your garden and even what data we need you to record. A plethora of species such as Red Mason bees and Leaf-cutter bees are likely to be attracted by the warm shelter you will provide. Finding out which DIY hotels they prefer will help us preserve pollinators more easily.
Please sign up below and become a part of Air Bee n' Bee 2018!
Also our freinds at the Bees, Wasps & Ants Recording Society (BWARS) show us 'how to' make a bee hotel.

"He Once Walked Gaylord's 'Boardwalk'" by Helen Murdick. From the Aug. 26, 1970, Gaylord Herald Times.
From somewhere this quotation comes to mind: "Old age, graciously attained, is one of man's finest accomplishments."
We are sure Mack Sowers didn't consciously set out to live his life towards this end, but at the contented, happy and vigorous age of 90 he seems to have achieved this goal.
In 1881, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Ramsey Sowers, bought 80 acres of land east of Vanderbilt. They cleared one acre and on June 25, 1882, the family, including young Mack, the youngest of 11 children, arrived in Vanderbilt, having made the entire trip from Hartford, Mich., by covered wagon.
After 10 years on the Vanderbilt homestead, Ramsey Sowers decided to bring his family "into town," so he traded the farm for the present Sowers home at 136 N. Court St. in Gaylord. It was an unfinished house which had to be made livable for a large family.

Paulo Blikstein (June 27 2013, Seymour Papert Panel at the IDC 2013 conference)
I would like to speak about what we might call the Papert Paradox. It's about a strange inverse relation between his legacy and recognition. The closer the world comes to realizing his vision, the less is his work cited. In a sense, this is perhaps the best outcome possible for a visionary -- when what used to be radical becomes a household idea. But I'm jumping ahead of myself. I will say more about this later this evening. For now, let's get back to some basic facts.
If a historian were to draw a line connecting Piaget's work on developmental psychology to today's trends in educational technology, the line would simply be labeled "Papert." Seymour Papert has been at the center of three seismic events in research: child development, artificial intelligence, and technologies for education.
He was born on February 29, 1928 in Pretoria, South Africa. He was a philosophy student at South Africa's University of Witwatersrand, where he received a PhD in mathematics in 1952. He proceeded to St. John's College at Cambridge, where he earned a second PhD in 1958. As part of his doctoral work, he had spent time at the Henri Poincaré Institute in Paris, where he would meet Jean Piaget.
He would spend four years working under Piaget at the University of Geneva, and was profoundly influenced by Piaget's work on how children make sense of the world – not as "miniature adults" but as active theory builders. Papert wrote in 1991:
Constructionism shares constructivism's connotation of learning as 'building knowledge structures' […]. It then adds the idea that this happens especially felicitously in a context where the learner is engaged in constructing a public entity.
When people ask me about what and how people learn by making, I just send them this quote written almost 20 years ago.
During his time in Geneva, Papert had made another serendipitous connection: In 1960 he met Marvin Minsky. Later with Minsky, Papert became co-founder of MIT's Artificial Intelligence Lab, and the MIT Media Lab.
If one were to, a bit unfairly, measure Papert's career by the sheer number of people a project touched, Logo would eclipse all other achievements. In 1968, Papert, Cynthia Solomon, Daniel Bobrow, and Wally Feurzeig crafted Logo, a revolutionary programming language, the first designed for children. His vision, almost 50 years ago, was that children should be programming the computer rather than being programmed by it.
Papert's work entered mainstream consciousness in 1980, with the publication of the seminal "Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful Ideas." His Epistemology and Learning Group at MIT, attracted a legion of bright students and researchers (many of whom are here today) who over the next decades, would bring to millions of children programming, robotics, multi-agent modeling, cybernetics, system dynamics, and digital fabrication. The Lego company would eventually transform many of these ideas into products under the title "Mindstorms."
His awareness that children's cognitive evolution requires designing rich toolkits and environments rather than force-feeding knowledge, has set the tone for decades of research. The combination of developmental psychology, AI, and technology proved to be extremely powerful. Maybe it was a historical accident that a disciple of Piaget would bump into Marvin Minsky and end up at MIT, giving us Logo and Mindstorms.
Gary Stager writes:
While Papert's scholarship is widely recognized, his half century of contributions is largely invisible. It is not that educators disagree with him, they just ignore him entirely, and he is absent from teacher education texts, and school reform literature.
If you want to do work on computational literacy, programming for kids, or the maker movement, and claim that you invented any of this, the only way is to ignore Papert. His extended team laid out the theoretical and technological foundations for the popularity of these ideas today. It is academic self-destruction for us, as researchers, to allow this story to be rewritten. We should, instead, establish a culture in which we don't reinvent the wheel every 10 years, but instead stand on the shoulders of our giant Logo turtles.
I wonder what he would say to today's advocates of online videos and what they call personalized learning. Seymour and Piaget would first point out that obviously learning is always personal, because knowledge is constructed by each of us. Unfortunately, the online video plus quiz version of personalized learning is like telling an inmate in a prison: "you can walk around your cell at your own pace." Today's "learning at your own pace" is a caricature and not what Seymour advocates, which is about intellectual self-determination, agency, personal expression, and falling in love with learning. Seymour also hated the culture of 30-minute little trivial projects with technology, hands-on without heads-in. I think one of his big lessons sis that there can't be making without sense-making.
Constructionism has, at its heart, a desire not to revise, but to invert the world of curriculum-driven instruction. But although this might sound radical, the first step is to acknowledge that constructionism has won the battle for the minds. Everyday we see people, children and parents getting excited about the things they can see, program, make, and do together. The Maker faire is a worldwide exhibition of constructionism. There are literally hundreds of school starting FabLabs and Makerspaces. Scratch and NetLogo are used by millions of children and adults, in 50 languages. Thousands of school have robotics program. We won. But now we have to claim victory, and tell the world, for academic and historic justice, that many of these ideas came from this man. But we also have to announce what's next, and our new visions. And what is next? We shouldn't take Seymour's ideas as a finished and unquestionable canon but just as the start of a much larger project. Maybe we should now listen to our panelists to see what they have to say about Seymour, the past, and the future.
In the famous Gears of My Childhood preface to Mindstorms, Papert states what he has always considered "the fundamental fact about learning: Anything is easy if you can assimilate it to your collection of models. If you can't, anything can be painfully difficult."
Education needs a collection of models demonstrating the impact of implementing Seymour's ideas in school. Maybe then they will not anymore be painfully hard to implement, but a lot easier. And it is our job to build those models. So go forth and construct. Thank you.

From time to time, especially during busy holiday periods, after a temporary lab closure, or if there has been an unexpectedly high volume of orders for any other reason, your order may exceed this time frame. If you need your order to arrive by a specific date, please let me know and I will do my best to work within your specified time frame — this may involve coordinating international overnight shipping via UPS instead of regular air mail service.
SHIPPING, CUSTOMS & DUTY: Just the Goods ships via Canada Post, USPS and (occasionally) UPS reflecting the real cost of postage; no handling fee is charged.
All orders within are shipped via Canada Post and include a tracking number. All orders to the US are shipped from the US via USPS and include a tracking number.
Parcels to other international destinations travel by air mail (2 - 3 weeks); if you desire tracking, please select this at checkout. International surface mail is no longer available.
Additional insurance, if required, is the responsibility of the buyer in the case of all carriers — please enquire for pricing. Just the Goods is not responsible for parcels lost by Canada Post, USPS, the postal agencies of other countries, or UPS.
Please note that international orders can take longer to reach their destination in a fashion wholly dependent on the speed at which international customs agents grant clearance as part of regular security and/or customs procedures. Please allow an average of 1 - 5 business days for delivery to the United States after shipping, and 2 – 3 weeks for delivery to other international destinations, or more for Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the surrounding area.
It is the responsibility of each international buyer to know the customs and shipping rules of their own country and all international buyers are solely responsible for any customs or duty charges that might be incurred to receive their product. Just the Goods is not responsible for the collection or payment of any destination charges, including duties, brokerage fees and taxes. All those charges are the responsibility of the buyer. Please do not ask that your parcel be marked as "gift" - this is illegal for commercial transactions. Orders returned due to the cost of local import taxes/duty will not be refunded.
Please make sure your shipping address is correct and that your name is presented in a fashion that allows you to retrieve your parcel from your local post office, if needed. An incorrect address may cause delays in shipping, or return to sender. Failure to provide an identifiable name may also prevent delivery at the discretion of customs and/or postal agents. Any cost incurred due to incorrect shipping information will be charged to the buyer. Additional re-shipment attempts are the responsibility of the buyer. If you have accidentally entered the wrong shipping address when placing an order, please get in touch right away so that your address may be corrected to avoid delays or failure. Thank you.
RETURNS/EXCHANGES: Just the Goods cares about your satisfaction. If, for some reason, you are not pleased with your order, please contact me within 3 days of receipt of merchandise by email (email@example.com) and I'll be happy to discuss an equitable solution. Please note that opened and/or used products are non-returnable. For your convenience, Just the Goods offers inexpensive samples of almost all available items, so I encourage customers to try them before committing to full-sized products if there is any concern about suitability, etc.
In the limited event that Just the Goods agrees to a return of items, please know that they must be returned to Just the Goods in Canada in excellent, re-saleable condition within 10 business days from the time they were received -- carefully wrap and pack all returns to prevent damage during return shipping. Just the Goods is not Amazon, Sephora, or any other large corporation able to absorb the cost of shipping. Just the Goods is therefore unable to refund the original cost of shipping and is not responsible for the cost of return shipping. All returns are subject to a $5.00 CAD restocking fee to compensate for the time spent retrieving a return from the post office, examining the returned items, and processing the refund + other relevant paperwork.
PRODUCT ACCURACY: Just the Goods attempts to be as accurate as possible when describing and representing products online via our website and/or Etsy. However, Just the Goods does not warrant that the product descriptions, images, colours or other content on our site is complete, accurate, reliable, and current or error free.
PRICING: Just the Goods strives to make natural skin care options as affordable as possible and thus offers pricing that benefits a wide range of customers. The lowest available price is obtained through direct purchase from Just the Goods — think of it as "factory direct", "manufacturer pricing", or "public wholesale". For those who prefer Etsy, prices there are slightly higher to compensate for the cost of relevant service charges. Retail prices are established by re-sellers to recognize their time and overhead. Any and all prices, whether online or in-store, are subject to change without prior notice.
SALES TAX: Purchases within Canada are subject to 5% GST. An additional retail sales tax of 8% is payable on all transactions within Manitoba. International residents are solely responsible for any and all taxes, customs fees, and duty charges in their respective countries. Just the Goods will not refund products returned due to international customs fees owing.
PRODUCT SAFETY: Just the Good's all natural skin care products have been tested extensively by me, my friends, and an array of regular clients but I ask that you still use the same precautions you would with any other new skin care product. Please read ingredient labels thoroughly if you have any allergy concerns or other types of sensitivity. If redness, rash or irritation occurs, immediately discontinue use of product and/or consult your physician.
Please note that some essential oils can be quite potent and that, even in small quantities, it is often recommended that they be avoided by children and during pregnancy, particularly during the first trimester. The same is likewise true if you are nursing, have heart disease, high blood pressure, epilepsy, diabetes, or any other health conditions — please seek the medical advice of your health care professional before using Just the Goods products.
Just the Goods' products are not medical in nature and have not been evaluated by Health Canada to treat, prevent, cure, or diagnose disease. You should not use any products or information communicated by Just the Goods for the diagnosis or treatment of any disease or medical condition(s). Once again, always seek the advice of a qualified, health care professional if you suspect you have a medical and/or dental condition of any kind.
Just the Goods products are not tested on animals. Just the Goods is certified cruelty-free by the Leaping Bunny Program and is an official partner of Humane Society International.
PRODUCT LONGEVITY: Just the Goods uses fresh, natural ingredients without the use of artificial preservatives. Due to the nature of these ingredients, it is recommended that products be used within 4 – 6 months of receipt, even though some products may last considerably longer. To protect the quality of your purchase and prevent premature deterioration, always store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity (i.e. steamy showers). To avoid accidental contamination, do not mix Just the Goods products with tap water or contact them with unwashed hands as to do so may contribute to bacterial growth. Seal containers tightly between use.
Under ideal conditions…
- massage oil and sugar/salt body scrubs last up to 4 months
- hand/body lotion and facial moisturizer lasts 4 – 6 months
- toothpaste, moisturizing face wash, eye make up remover, foot scrub, hair conditioner can last between 8 – 9 months
- toner, body butter, shampoo, body wash, and deodorant last approximately 1 year
- shaving solids last approximately 2 years
However, I still emphasize 4 – 6 months as an average just to be on the safe side as it ultimately depends on how products are handled and stored. With all that stated, please keep in mind that when used as recommended, the products are expected to run out before their average expiration (i.e. face wash once daily, toner once or twice daily, facial moisturizer twice daily, etc.). If you'd like to buy extra stock to save on shipping, which is always a great idea, I recommend storing unopened products in your refrigerator, particularly hand/body lotion and/or facial moisturizer.

"Your father has only cried twice," said my beautiful wife.
"I Lava You was one of them, and I was there," Bec said with a big grin.
Great, my family has begun to highlight my "weaker" moments, all to their amusement. I am human, not Vulcan, and sometimes I am allowed to show emotions.
"Dad's becoming emotional in his old age," starts to be chanted.
Flash back to the night before:
One day, I was at evening services, when one of our older members walked in. He had been sick and we have not seen him in a while. It was clear that it was an effort for him to be there, as his wife and son accompanied him. We were all happy to see him, and it ends up that it was the anniversary of his father's death and he was there to say the Mourner's Prayer.
In the Jewish religion, when someone dies, there is a prescribed mourning cycle. The first seven days after the funeral, called Shiva, are where the mourning stays home, sits on a low chair and accepts visitors. This is followed by the first month (30 days inclusive of Shiva), called Shloshim, where one moves out back into society, but continues the daily Mourner's Prayer. And when a parent dies, the Mourner's Prayer is said throughout the year. As a community, we recalled our loved ones four times a year during specific holidays (Yom Kippur, Shemini Atzeret, Passover and Shavuot), and, individually, on the anniversary of the death (based on the Hebrew calendar). I go, for example, each year on the anniversary of my mother's death.
Going on the anniversary, for some, is a very strong feeling. My grandfather died at 89. Shortly before he died was the anniversary of his father's death and he was too sick to go to the Jewish Center to say the Mourner's Prayer. He was sad as this was the first time he missed going since his father died about 70 years beforehand.
Towards the end of the service, someone came up to greet the older member. The older man looked up at his greeter and asked, "Will you be here tomorrow morning?"
"Yes," was the immediate response.
"Can you please say the Kaddish (Mourner's Prayer) for me for my father?"
I felt that question in my heart and held back the tears that were about to spring forth. "Of course I will," was the gentleman's response.
When it came time for the Mourner's Prayer, I had a hard time keeping it together, for as difficult as coming to services was; this man still felt the obligation to honor his father.
As I get older, I do find that things affect me more than when I was younger, so Bec's words have truth in it. Am I getting older or just more empathetic with age and experience?
Maybe it is because I just lost my aunt. Maybe it was the thoughts of my grandfather. Maybe it was seeing another person in my life that I watch get older, and they have the ability to do less than when they were younger. Maybe Bec was right…maybe I am getting emotional in my old age.

Three Sisters – Blue Mountains
Natural Wonders
From Echo Point, south of Katoomba, there are blockbuster views of the Three Sisters, where the cliff has crumbled away leaving three jagged tors. The name Three Sisters recognises an event that took place in the Dreamtime. Three beautiful sisters, Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, lived in the Jamison Valley with the Katoomba people and fell in love with three brothers from the Nepean people, but Indigenous law forbade their marriages. The brothers attempted to capture the sisters by force and caused a major battle. A witchdoctor feared the girls were in danger, and he turned them to stone to protect them, but he died in battle before he could reverse the spell.comments powered by Disqus

Sound installation
Images: Gallery Huuto, Helsinki
Photographs: Salla Salin
The installation investigates the spatiality of sound from the perspective of movement by creating an auditive space and a situation where a loudspeaker physically moves around the perceiver.
Commenting especially on the idea of surround sound – a technique based on the amount and placement of loudspeakers, with the ability to create an illusion of movement – the work investigates the borders between perception and reality. No matter how elaborate the surround system technique may be, it is still based on static objects as there is a physical gap between the separate elements. In physical reality the perception of movement happens in the mind of the listener.
Surround System is the first part of a series titled Lossless, an ongoing project comprised of art works based on sound.
Technical team: monorail, system design and realisation: Saurabh Ingale, Vikram Munigala, Niko Lagus, Ellinoora Rustholkarhu

Book Review by Sapphire Ng
Copyright August 2016
Natural Color is an astounding visually appealing book which provides the reader with a highly concise introduction to the fascinating world of natural plant dyes. Contents of the book are beautifully interlaid with vibrant and gorgeous photography, allowing the reader to fully immerse oneself in the world of rich and natural colors. The book is incredibly straightforward and highly accessible, with the text and information, recipes and instructions easily decipherable, and thus ideal for the new plant dyer hobbyist. This is an excellent book that qualifies as a great addition to a craft enthusiast's bookshelf.
Plant dye projects in the book are beautifully and seasonally segmented. The spring palette involving plant sources such as the calendula, the oxalis weed—or sour grass—, and rose petal; the summer palette including the eucalyptus bark, aloe, weld, and indigo; the fall palette consisting of for example, the madder root, persimmon, black walnut, and onion skins; and the winter palette involving the likes of pomegranate, blue spruce, and redwood cones.
Each and every project contains varying, but mostly short and sweet, introductory information on the individual plant sources, the level of content of which is ideal for the beginner. Though considerably brief, the select pieces of information furnished will bound to thrill the aspiring plant dyer and/or budding nature lover. Redwood cones for example, are said to be a great exemplification of "a bioregional dye color" of Northern California; the most commonly cultivated persimmon tree, Diospyros kaki, is expounded to be native to Japan, China, Burma, and northern India; onion skins are considered one of the "most wondrous compost colors;" and mint is noted as a Mentha species.
Venturing a step further in efforts to directly connect with the intended and potential target audience, though rather subtle but still somewhat conspicuous, the author includes language that draws parallels between cooking and plant dyeing, thus allowing the transition to the new craft to be even smoother for those who already have some experience in cooking.
The book indeed gives the impression of covering mostly, or even only, the most salient pieces of information essential to the art of plant dyeing. Most fascinating is the coverage of the "ancient primaries" of the red madder, the yellow weld, and the blue indigo. The author clearly distinguished metallic from plant-based mordants; metallic mordants such as iron, alum, and aluminum acetate, and the plant-based mordant of tannin, naturally occurring in for example, avocado pits, sumac leaves, eucalyptus barks, oxalis in the form of oxalic acid, and its ability to be made from the needles of the juniper tree. Not to mention the beginning of the book which contains a compact section briefly detailing a few examples each for animal-based fibers—for example wool, angora, and cashmere—and plant-based fibers such as hemp, linen, and nettle.
Other pieces of information in the book are distinctly inspirational. The aspiring plant dyer might experience a motivational urge to act after learning of the fact that the author, in her home dye garden, grows the Japanese indigo—Persicaria tinctorium—, the yellow aloe—Aloe cryptopoda, a South African species of the aloe plant—, and the madder root. On the other hand, the reader might be amazed by revelations involving iconic figures such as the Robin Hood, whose "famed" solid green outfit apparently was "dyed in a sequence—first weld, then European woad for blue."
The book notably contains a particularly interesting diagram, specifically a seasonal color wheel for the San Francisco Bay Area, and an intriguing section on "the art of medicinal dyeing"—a sampling of common medicinal plants such as dyer's chamomile, Saint-John's-wort, yarrow, and sage, and highlighting some colors derivable from them. Certain information in the book are very aptly presented in the form of concise bullet points, for example in denoting the general plant dyeing process, or even presenting to the reader a short list of color-producing weeds—dandelions (Taraxacum officinale), wild fennel (Foeniculum vulgare), and tansy (Tanacetum vulgare).
For the reader who thrives on quick summaries of novel information, or who takes pleasure in ingesting relevant, new and interesting concepts, some mini subsections in the book could turn out to be highly treasured gems. One such subsection introduced the reader to the intriguing notion of "phytoremediation palettes."
Also worth mentioning is the inclusion in the book of some supposedly trivial, but immensely helpful tips courtesy of the author's accumulated experience in the craft. The author appropriately suggested an alternative to the black walnut hulls should the reader, or the recipient of the dyed product, is allergic to walnuts. The reader might also appreciate instances where the author mentioned a potential substitute for a specific dye source, for example beluga lentils in place of black beans, with comparable results.

When it comes to personalized items, engraved initials on a journal, or sewn into a plush robe are nice, but to hit them right in the heartstrings, a charm bracelet says much much more. Not only does it put you into the upper echelon of thoughtful gift buyers, but it also says how much the receiver is valued. Buying a bracelet is one thing, but buying or crafting one with specific charms which indicate the likes, hobbies, dreams, and even kids of the gift recipient, well…You've hit a home run. (Let's not forget you can buy or make yourself one too!)
Not Just A Fad
Charms and amulets go way back into history. You had knights of old who would wear charms for protection before battles. Roman and Persian soldiers who carried engraved stones, or metals for strength and safe return. Egyptian monarchs who donned amulets crafted into jewelry to represent their love for certain deities. So, it only makes sense if you're going to make or buy one, it should represent the things about you or the person to receive it which they love and treasure the most.
You can buy or make charms from most any material like metals, ceramics, sea shells, fabrics, even paper. Sometimes rings and paired or lone earrings belonging to you or the gift receiver can also be used to create a desired, even perhaps an emotional effect. Find charms for bracelets at CharmsToTreasure.com because they have a nice selection of already made beads, charms, and leather string to make your bracelet sing.
A Lasting Impression
The great thing about charm bracelets is they are often treated like heirlooms, which are often passed down generations. There is something nostalgic about wearing a custom-made bauble, which in a sense is a time capsule of the person who wore it before. These types of bangles tell a shiny, sparkly yet silent story about the life of who wore it earlier and may tie and resonate with the person who has it bestowed upon them now. Made with delicate or sturdier materials, either way, this type of customization has a popularity which clearly has spanned throughout time.
Though it is probably safe to say most women on the planet appreciate a gift of jewelry, a customized bracelet would tell her and maybe all who see it, a little more than mere words can express.

An evaluation of preservation, sex, and age using cremains weight and volume from a Bronze Age cemetery in Hungary
Author(s): Pranavi Ramireddy; Julia Giblin; Jaime Ullinger; László Paja
Year: 2017
In well-preserved osteoarchaeological samples, numerous anthropological methods are employed to determine age at death, biological sex, diet, and pathologies. However, with cremated human bone (cremains), determining demographic information is complicated by fragmentation and post-depositional damage. A simple way to assess variability in demographics, taphonomy, and burial treatment in cremains is to measure total bone weight and volume, which can then be examined in light of sex, age-at-death, and preservation. In this study, we present results from the analysis of cremains weight and volume from the Békés 103 cemetery. Békés 103 is a Bronze Age cemetery and settlement in Eastern Hungary; 68 burials have been excavated, a majority of which are cremations interred in urns. As predicted, well- preserved burials have higher cremains weights and volumes (with a notable exception), and young subadults (0 – 6 years) had lower weights than adults. Interestingly, females had variation in weight and volume, while the few confirmed males clustered together and did not necessarily have a higher weight or volume. This technique has potential for identifying anomalous individuals with respect to taphonomy, sex, and age.

The Los Angeles Times said its Sunday magazine, facing tough challenges, will cease publication.
LA, Los Angeles Times Magazine will print its final issue June 3, Kathy K. Thomson, president and chief operating officer, said in an email Tuesday to employees.
The magazine came out weekly until 2008, when the paper's editorial department stopped publishing it. The Los Angeles Times Media Group then put out the magazine in a monthly format.
"The entire magazine industry has been faced with a very challenging environment," Thomson wrote. "We are not immune to the challenges."
