One of the reasons I'm cranky is because many of our systems have failed us: politics, food, medicine. Technology could save us, but it's not being used to the extent it could be. Before I post how to make it happen you must know what I want.
The queen of everything still has to work for a paycheck, and she's older now, not able to do it all like before. Though I'd love to do all my own gardening and preserve my home grown food, and cook from scratch, and raise chickens, and compost, and butcher my own meat, that just ain't happening for this girl especially after selling myself outside the house for a forty hour work week. I am so grateful and lucky to have a job! Still, the queen never laid claim to supermom or über-mom titles, she is merely the queen who sees. The queen with no support system. I'm also tired of reading books and seeing movies about how bad our food and medicine and water and politicians are. I want changes.
What the queen sees is people who still need roofs that don't leak over their heads, and food in their bellies, and work to do, and we have an abundance of STUFF that needs to be taken care of. For some reason which I am currently investigating, my little brain is stuck on the year 1937. I would postulate the advances we have made since then have not necessarily been the best, or read: progress may be failing us. Progress hasn't failed the capitalistic top 1% because they own all the money. And that top one percent can "lose" or misplace massive amounts of money, millions of dollars, and not even be called on the carpet for it. I'm telling you, if I misplace a dollar, I freak out. There's justice and fairness for you. It's all about the money.
I'm not saying we need to throw out capitalism completely, but as individuals we could make it less about the money. I just think there are more opportunities than we think, and it includes getting your hands dirty, and sweating, and working hard, doing things our own way like our grandparents and other forebears did. Opportunities might not be about a "job" or a paycheck earned from some other entity. Opportunities might be about enterprise and what people can do when they tell the government to go to hell and let me grow and eat and share what I want.
And I'm not saying we don't need some rules and regulations for safety but it's gotten so completely out of hand, our country looks like some kind of mistaken identity farce Shakespeare would write, or the worst kind of Abbot and Costello routine, "Who's on where?", because we can't even remember the first thing. The American government expects us to forget what was said every four years anyway. It's that bad.
When it's that bad, it calls for a new approach, to maybe throw the bathwater out, to uncurdle the mayonnaise, to call a revolution. A revolution begins with demands.
Here's what the queen wants and I don't think it is too much to ask for every human person:
1. A safe home for every person. Period.
2. Clean water to drink, cook with, swim in and bathe with, not filled with toxic chemicals like fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals, and the residue of other people's medications.
3. A fresh green grocer who sells food grown in the neighborhood to the neighborhood. Walking distance from my house. Open every day.
4. A bakery that uses whole ground non-GMO grains and flours and offers sweetener choices such as honey or evaporated cane sugar in the products. Walking distance from my house. Open every day.
5. A bakery that offers conventional sugar options for those who can eat them. Walking distance from my house. Open every day.
6. A dairy store that offers a choice of fresh raw milk or pasteurized milk, goat and cow; fresh and aged cheeses; other dairy products; and eggs, from small dairies within a ten mile radius of the store. Walking distance from my house. Open every day.
7. A butcher who offers grass fed, pastured meats produced on small farms within 20 miles of the store. Walking distance from my house. Open every day.
8. A deli store that offers prepared broths from meat with bones, soups and stews made with same, prepared meats and home-cooked grandma's style side dishes for the tired worker. Walking distance from my house. Open every day.
9. Food sold from the above vendors stored only in glass jars or dishes with straight sides, no fancy curves in the glass, and no "linings" inside the glass. Glass and only glass. For which I'd gladly pay a deposit and return for refund.
10. The same vendor options for every community or neighborhood.
11. Subsidized motherhood. A time for a mother and new family to breastfeed and wean the child without financial worries.
12. Full tilt boogie breastfeeding, as long as the mother and child need it, in public if necessary. No ogling allowed.
13. Hands-on schooling free from government interference and testing. Teach music, gardening, cooking, art, vehicle maintenance and repair, physical education, how to find resources (technology – how to use a library or search engine or who to ask), and how to share that knowledge with others through their voices and through writing. Guaranteed they will learn to read and write and add. No conferences allowed.
14. No industrial farms or food production. Farm subsidies will go to small production farms and neighborhood gardens.
15. Green belts around every town, city, and neighborhood. Employ new vertical technology for urban gardens.
16. Gardens and chicken coops in every yard.
17. "Communal" living opportunities with garden space.
18. Senior centers built around garden spaces and swimming pools.
19. Home generated electricity-energy and the education and funding to do so.
20. Appropriate and affordable transportation and pathways when and where people need it.
21. Once we've done this for America, we could help make this function for every community in the world. Or not; we shouldn't feel pressure to help other nations/countries unless they want it and ask for it. Some communities may be doing just fine without Americans. I am absolutely not talking about loaning money and providing weaponry.
I know, right? The queen of everything, cranky and sassy as she is, wants a lot. And if you are laughing out loud and saying it will never work, that's only saying you aren't willing to look at different ways to make this world work. There are always new ways if one wants to improve. Yes, it will require cooperation. We will have to know and work with our neighbors. Once folks have had enough of being poisoned with every drink of water and every bite of food, are tired to death of being sick and tired from the pharmaceutical poisons called "medicines", they will try new ways.
New ways can and will – they must! – include the new technology. Ideas from many cultures and eras must be employed to take the most advantage of the entirety of our knowledge, and not knowledge based on commercially and politically funded junk science "research".
Stay tuned for upcoming posts where I'll explore some new ideas on how to help make the queen's demands reality.

O&W Inc. hopes to raise $5,000 in October through sales of a limited release beer from Green Flash Brewing
Ypsilanti, Mich. – O&W Inc., a family owned, independent beer distributor based in Ypsilanti, is setting an ambitious goal to raise $5,000 for breast cancer research through sales of Green Flash Brewing Company's Treasure Chest, an IPA brewed with passion fruit.
Throughout the month of October, for every pint of Treasure Chest sold during special events, O&W Inc. will donate $1, the retailer hosting the event will donate $1 and Green Flash will donate $1.
"We're proud to work together with Green Flash Brewing and retailers throughout southeast Michigan to raise money for such an important cause," said Kit Wanty-Lambert, vice president of Marketing for O&W Inc. "We applaud Green Flash for taking a creative and innovative approach to raising awareness of breast cancer and funding for breast cancer research."
Green Flash Co-Founder Lisa Hinkley, a breast cancer survivor, is passionate about giving back to those whose lives have been affected by this disease. Through the Treasure Chest program, now in its seventh year, the brewery has raised over $300,000.
"As a breast cancer survivor, I am encouraged to see the Treasure Chest program grow every year," Hinkley said. "Through the unwavering support of our customers, distributors and retailers, we are making strides in our efforts to raise money towards awareness and prevention, and I am hopeful the program will only continue to make a difference in the lives of individuals affected by breast cancer. I applaud O&W Inc. for their commitment to finding a cure for this disease."
Green Flash first brewed Treasure Chest in 2011 and has rotated through different styles every year. This year's iteration is a bright and tropical IPA featuring Green Bullet, Warrior, Citra, Cascade and Simcoe hops. The beer is finished with an infusion of passion fruit tea.
You can find a full list of Treasure Chest events in southeast Michigan here.

If you've had the chance to listen to the new Beauty and the Beast soundtrack, you've probably sampled the new songs, "Days in the Sun," "How Does a Moment Last Forever," and "Evermore." While all three are incredible, we need to talk about one in particular—the Dan Stevens version of "Evermore." That's why we've broken down the 8 stages of listening to it, so proceed accordingly:
1. Excitement.
You're excited because it's new music for one of your favorite Disney stories, and not only that, it was written by the powerhouse duo of Alan Menken and Tim Rice, so of course you have high hopes. Plus, Beast didn't have a devoted song in the 1991 animated classic (besides a solo in "Something There"), so it's very exciting to see more of Beast's story in the form of a song.
2. Intrigue.
It's about a minute in and you think, "Wow, the beautiful orchestra! Dan Stevens is an amazing singer as Beast!" All you can do is marvel at how beautiful the song is, but little do you know, it's about to get even better.
3. Emotional anguish.
The music swells as Beast sings the bridge, and you're overcome with a feeling of wistfulness, which quickly turns to heartbreak as you reflect on the poignant lyrics.
"Now I know she'll never leave me, even as she fades from view."
"Wasting in my lonely tower, waiting by an open door."
"I'll fool myself she'll walk right in, and as the long, long nights begin, I'll think of all that might have been, waiting here for evermore."
4. Realization.
The moment the brilliance of "Evermore" hits you:
This happens after you've listened to the song fully. Simply put, you come to the conclusion that "Evermore" is everything you hoped it would be and more. That being said, you also realize how fragile your emotions are at the moment, due to this song.
5. Repetition.
You listen to the song on repeat. Maybe you made a playlist that's just "Evermore" over and over again. Or perhaps you bookmark the song's YouTube page, and you keep hitting replay.
6. Passion.
You have very strong opinions and feelings for this song. In fact, it might just be the most stable relationship in your life at the moment.
7. Obsession.
Your passion for this song has turned into obsession.
You search for reasons to bring up "Evermore."
Friend: Can you maybe play another song, please?
You even learn how to play it on the recorder.
8. Acceptance.
You've accepted your fate—you love "Evermore." Why? Because Dan Stevens as Beast is amazing, Alan Menken and Tim Rice are geniuses, and this song is Oscar-worthy—the list goes on.
Have you been emotionally wrecked by Dan Stevens' version of "Evermore"? Let us know in the comments.
You can download "Evermore" by Alan Menken and Tim Rice here.

A special pet welcome awaits all breeds of socialised and house-trained dogs. Even cats and caged birds will feel at home. Each cottage has a fenced garden to keep your pets safe while you take a nap or generally indulge in some human-only relaxation. When you're strolling with your dogs along the river banks or heading out on longer hill-rambles, socialised and non-aggressive dogs are allowed to run freely off the lead.
Cottages are set 15m-50m apart, while reed and hedge screenings provide maximum privacy and seclusion. All have a private braai and fire pit, fireplaces and fans, DStv (bring your own decoder), fully equipped kitchens as well as towels and bedding.
Highland Giants Estate
Fancy some fly-fishing? Then head to Dullstroom where the trout waters abound. Dogs are welcome at Highland Giants Estate which is situated on a working sheep farm in the Steenkampsberg Mountains between Dullstroom and Lydenburg. The best of countryside tranquility and your own private cottage will guarantee that you unwind in no time at all.
With 5 dams and nearly 1km of river, kick boats, great walks, game viewing, panoramic landscapes and enough firewood to keep you toasty for your entire stay, all you have to do is sit back and enjoy. Float tubes are welcome and fly-fishing instruction can be arranged with prior notice.
All cottages have verandas/patios/balconies. Bed linen and bathroom towels are provided, the kitchens are fully equipped and all cottages have fireplaces.
Stoney Way Cottage
Stoney Way Cottage is a two bedroom, one bathroom cottage set in a large garden behind the main house just outside the village of Underberg.
The bedrooms are comfortably done up with a double bed in each and electric blankets for those cold winter nights. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove. Enjoy DStv in front of the fireplace in the lounge after a long day of activities (firewood is provided). The cottage is serviced daily, tea and coffee is provided as are bath towels.
Enjoy an afternoon drink on the sunny veranda surrounded by stunning views of the Drakensberg or, if the weather is warm enough, have a dip in the pool in front of the main house. This is undoubtedly the place to enjoy the great outdoors with hiking, mountain biking, a scenic walk, fly-fishing, tubing, a 9-hole golf course and horseback riding.
Contact them regarding bringing your pet as they have dogs of their own on the property. Kids are welcome and they can even arrange a sit-in nanny if you'd like a romantic night out.
Cottage Pie, Clarens
The quaint village of Clarens is only 17km from Golden Gate National Park and here a special place awaits you. Cottage Pie is a charming thatched home nestling beside a trickling stream among indigenous trees at the foot of a magnificent sandstone mountain.
Surrounded by a typical English garden, you can expect to see a variety of birds with occasional visits from buck, hare, dassie, baboon and porcupine, offering you a truly special country experience.
A hearty cooked breakfast is provided in the main dining room on the property. Activities nearby include golf, squash, tennis, bowls, hiking, abseiling quad biking, river rafting and several eateries, galleries and quaint little shops. You could also opt for trout fishing or horse riding.
This is just a glimpse of what is on offer. So make your calls and advise management that your 4-legged friend will be joining you, book your Rhino Shuttles transfer and go make memories to last you a lifetime.

The workplace of the future will look very different than that of today: Some or many of the responsibilities that we have now will be automated and obsolete. Technology will continue to expand our networks globally. Who we work with will be more diverse.
At the 2019 Spring Forum, constituents from across the school and explored the future workforce and its implications for higher education, discussing how both education and leadership can adapt to meet the needs of the changing market.
The group discussion explored complex ideas including how educational institutions can utilize technological changes to prepare students for a successful future, how to advance leadership development in the new global work environment, and ideas to increase educational access and inclusion, so that everyone has the preparation and opportunity necessary to contribute at all levels.

Rightmove investigated which industry's employees were behind the lunchtime spike in home-hunter activity it sees during the working week – the theme of the company's new TV advert – and found that scientists, bankers and engineers were the surprise professions holding the highest proportions of lunch-break property addicts.
Hospitality & tourism was the industry most distracted by workplace property browsing throughout the day, with more than half of employees admitting to browsing Rightmove 'whenever they feel like it'. Only one in eight employees surveyed across all industries said they never used Rightmove at work.
Scientists, bankers and engineers may seem an unlikely grouping of people, but each working day they unite in the same online behaviour. Rightmove's website traffic sees a major jump in activity every weekday-lunchtime, and the three industries holding the highest proportions of lunchtime property addicts have been revealed to be banking & finance, science & pharmaceuticals and engineering & manufacturing.
The spike in Rightmove website traffic every weekday lunchtime is such a workplace institution that it forms the inspiration for the company's latest TV advert. The advert launched last week and follows the familiar journey of a young lady 'dreaming' about her next home move on Rightmove while on her lunch break at work.
Rightmove director Miles Shipside comments: "While some home moves are carefully planned from the outset, many have more impulsive origins. Serial property dreamers browsing Rightmove can easily be seduced by the property of their dreams and turn the dream into reality. Appropriately the soundtrack that accompanies Rightmove's new TV advert is Blondie's hit 'Dreaming'."
Rightmove researched the lunchtime trend with a survey of just under 3,000 employees who indicated that they used Rightmove at work. More than 60% of those in science & pharmaceuticals, banking & finance and engineering & manufacturing were found to use Rightmove during their lunchbreak. The most distracted Rightmove users, where more than half admitted to property browsing 'when I feel like it' at work, were found in hospitality & tourism. Meanwhile, Britain's most disciplined workplace home-hunters are in education & teaching and health & social care, which had the highest proportion of employees who browsed Rightmove at the end of the working day.
Shipside observes: "Whether it's on their lunchbreak, at the end of the day, or simply whenever they feel like it, UK property addicts appear to be able to find the time to browse for property at some point during the working day. Britain's property obsession was such that just 13% of Rightmove users could honestly say that they never use the site on their employer's time."
Rightmove's traffic at the start of the year drove the company to being the sixth busiest website by UK users according to Experian Hitwise, behind only web giants of Facebook, Google, YouTube, eBay and Amazon. Rightmove finds that around one in five page views are recorded during the lunchtime period of 1200 – 1500 on working week days. This trend formed the basis for Rightmove TV advert which launched this week and is set to the Blondie song ''Dreaming'.
Shipside adds: "The professions found to be holding the largest proportion of lunchtime Rightmove 'dreamers' were slightly surprising. Although Blondie remind us in the advert that 'dreaming is free', it may be that our scientist, banking and engineer users are more likely to have the financial means to move and are therefore are keener to give up their lunchbreaks to see what's on the market."

Giraudoux had proposed to put in writing a tragedy, 'the confirmation of a terrible hyperlink among humankind and a future more than human future itself'. 6 during this he failed, probably simply because, because the novelist Marguerite Yourcenar remarked, 'His characters, instead of myths, are caricatures of myths. '7 Doris Lessing as soon as famous that 'Myth doesn't suggest anything unfaithful, yet a focus of fact. '8 it can be that during Giraudoux the myths seem too diffuse, too diluted. In 1990, the Caribbean poet Derek Walcott tried the other technique. His re-imagined Odyssey in a Caribbean atmosphere is a focus of never-ending readings of Homer's Ulysses. In his Nobel Prize attractiveness speech, Walcott denied that his Omeros was once an epic within the strict feel of the observe, yet relatively a suite of epic fragments prepared in three-line stanzas that echo Dante's terza rima within the Commedia. nine Its idiom is a mix of modern English and Creole and, even though its characters undergo the names of Homer's heroes, also they are the names that slave-owners often gave to the black inhabitants of the islands: Philoctete, Helen, Achille, Hector. The Odyssey starts off in medias res, whilst Ulysses is already midway via his travels; likewise, Omeros starts off midway throughout the Odyssey, with the 1st line of ebook XI ('Now down we got here to the ship')10 which turns into, in Walcott's idiom: 'This is how, one dawn, we curb them canoes. '11 (Already Ezra Pound had selected an identical gadget: the 1st of his Cantos begins: 'And then we went right down to the ship…')12 In Omeros, the stopover at to the Underworld turns into a dream voyage to Africa, the land of the protagonist's roots, the place a imaginative and prescient of the previous indicates him his ancestors being captured by way of the slavers. The customer isn't Ulysses yet Achille, sufferer of sun-stroke, whose rage at witnessing the traditional abduction is like that of his namesake after the dying of Patroclus, burdened with a hatred in the direction of Patroclus' assassin. in the direction of the slavers, he feels 'the same/mania that, within the arrows of drizzle, he felt for Hector ',13 and in the direction of the slaves, a poor grief: … hot ashes made his cranium white over eyes sore as embers, over a pores and skin charred as coal, the middle of his toothless mouth, groaning to the firelight, used to be like a felled cedar's whose sorrow surrounds its bole. One hand clawed the pile of ashes, the opposite fist thudded on the drum of his chest, the ribs have been like a caved-in canoe that rots for years lower than the altering leaves of an almond, whereas the men who performed warfare in it turn into grown males who paintings, marry, and die, until eventually their very own sons in flip rock the rotted hulk, or race in it, pretending to row, as Achille had performed within the manchineel grove as a boy. 14 If Walcott's Achille is a mix of numerous Homeric heroes, his bard is a mix of numerous poets: Homer definitely, but in addition Joyce, incarnated in a blind West Indian veteran who spends his days making a song to himself within the colour of a pharmacy close to the seashore, his khaki puppy on a leash: the blind guy sat on his crate after the pirogues set out, muttering the darkish language of the blind, gnarled fingers on his stick, his ears as sharp because the dog's.

I first published The Divine Seven (D7) criteria for DRTV products in July of 2007. Less than a month later, I also published my list of Tried & True (T&T) techniques for DRTV commercials. Together, these tools have proven remarkably accurate at predicting the success or failure of a DRTV campaign. (See, for example, this study I conducted in April 2008. Or search "90 Days Later" or "Keeping Score" to read my updates since then.)
However, the time has come to combine these tools into a single, comprehensive tool for campaign evaluation. Today, I am announcing The SciMark Seven. (As you can tell, I'm a big fan of alliteration and the number seven.)
Here's the new list of campaign qualities:
The first thing you will notice is that I put both product and commercial qualities in the same list. When I review a DRTV campaign, I learn about the product from watching the commercial, much like the consumer does. That means what I "know" about the product is largely based on what the marketer has chosen to tell me. If the marketer does a poor job, my knowledge will be incomplete. If the marketer does a great job, I will have a better understanding and impression of the product. So I will no longer attempt to separate products and commercials: I will evaluate the two together.
For example, at least three campaigns come to mind that were successful after another industry player had attempted them and failed. The product was exactly the same; it was the marketing that made the difference. One of them is the Hercules Hook. It appears the name ("Hercules") and the magic demo (hanging a heavy mirror) turned a loser into a winner.
You will also notice that I reduced the D7 product criteria to three, renamed product qualities. This is to put less on emphasis on highly subjective criteria, such as "credibility," which can skew my analysis. For example, I missed Mighty Putty because I thought the trailer-pull demo wasn't credible. This is also to avoid certain words that people have trouble understanding, such as "unique." Does "unique" mean a totally original idea? Or does it simply mean a notable improvement on an existing idea? Inventors get mad when I suggest their product isn't unique because it has been tried before. They look at the old product I'm referencing and immediately tell me five ways their product is better. It's hard for them to see that differences must be significant for consumers to notice them. For example, Purse Partner predictably failed on DRTV because the Hollywood Purse Hook had failed, even though there were notable differences between the two items.
My new way of explaining "unique" is to use the word DIFFERENT. And a new key word I am using with all product qualities is "enough." The question in this case: Is the product different enough to get people's attention or change the fate of a previous, similar product? The same goes for NEEDED, a new way of saying, "Does it solve a problem?" The question here: Is the product needed enough to generate the impulse to buy? As for TARGETED, it's my way of combining and refining the "mass market" and "age appropriate" criteria. The question: Is the product designed for a big enough buying group? And a key addition: One that is also known to be DR responsive?
As for the commercial qualities, long-time readers of this blog will know that I have tried several systems, ending up with an "Excellent" to "Poor" rating scale. But I have never been satisfied with such a loose and uninformative system. A Scientific Marketing approach requires a bit more rigor, still keeping in mind that we are evaluating an "art" when it comes to creative. So I've come up with the three qualities above, which encompass many of the Tried & True DRTV Techniques.
The adjective ENGAGING speaks to several of the key elements of a DRTV commercial, mainly its opening, pacing and demos. The question: Does the commercial grab your attention and hold it throughout? The adjective MOTIVATING is specific to the key elements of the offer -- the value comparison, the price, the bonus and the guarantee. The question: Will the presentation of the offer motivate people off the couch? And then there is clarity, a big factor in the success of a DRTV commercial that is often overlooked. If a commercial isn't CLEAR, people will have unanswered questions or objections. A truism of this industry is: "Confusion is a sales killer."
Finally, there is a new area I am including in my evaluations: the category. On many occasions, I have seen promising products backed by excellent commercials struggle because they were competing in an overcrowded category. The blessings of an UNCROWDED category, one relatively free of competition, cannot be underestimated. It is especially difficult to succeed when the category is already dominated by big brands with big ad budgets and a few decades of consumer loyalty behind them. For example, most new cosmetic products fail due to this daunting challenge.
So there you have it: The SciMark Seven. Look for the S7 Score on all my new reviews. As always, I will be keeping track of its ability to predict DRTV success.
For those who are interested, I've posted a PDF of the SciMark Seven on the SciMark Website.

By Nick Roumel
On a recent Sunday, my wife and I dropped our teenage daughter off at camp, and to help celebrate our new found freedom, we made an impulsive stop at Sandhill Crane Winery, about half an hour west of Ann Arbor, between Jackson and Chelsea. Sandhill Crane is family owned wine producing vineyard, open since 2003, and is opening a lot of eyes with its array of award-winning varietals.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with visiting this beautiful winery, in the lush rolling hills of rural Michigan, and sitting in the tasting room, as the staff agreeably pours you taste after taste of whatever you desire. (Note: have a designated driver on retainer.) It is then appropriate to hand over the plastic and buy a few bottles. Fortunately, this is not difficult at Sandhill Crane. Their wines are outstanding - with some, like a previous vintage of the "Sassy Rose" - rivaling their counterparts in France, according to wine writer David Creighton.
I especially enjoyed a newly released Pinot Grigio, a Cabernet Franc, dry and sweet Rieslings, and a Chanson (a bone-dry white wine made with Chardonel, a hybrid of Cheyval and Chardonnay grapes). I also picked up a couple bottles of the gold-medal winning "Blushing Crane" rosé, an eminently quaffable summer treat, with a portion of the cost benefitting the nearby Haehnle Bird Sanctuary. I'm sure I would have enjoyed even more, had I the wherewithal and constitution to delve even further down their wine list.
Their crown jewel is a high end port-style wine, "840," which is the one exception to a free tasting - it's $5 per ounce - but you won't be disappointed. If you haven't tried a port recently, or equate them with stuffy cigar bars, I say "harrumph." This one is aged in French oak barrels, is not too sweet, with hints of vanilla. According to the winery's Executive Director, Heather Price, "It pairs beautifully with rich duck dishes, blue cheeses, and indulgent desserts like tiramisu." (Just a typical lunch at our law firm; how about yours?)
Winemaker Holly Balansag supplements the vineyard's own grapes and orchards with locally grown fruit and even maple syrup for Sandhill Crane's more traditional wines, as well as its delightfully unique specialty products like mead. The dedication to locally grown products extends to the newly expanded café, featuring not only lighter fare like sandwiches, but gourmet offerings such as Beef Bourguignon and Paella on "Thirsty Thursdays," when they also provide live musical entertainment. Not to mention the occasional chocolate-chip-and-bacon cookie in the dessert case.
Sandhill Crane will also gladly host your wedding, reception, or other event. But if there are no such celebrations in your future, there's always the Sunday afternoon drive, or the visit on Thirsty Thursday.
Their website is at www.sandhillcranevineyards.com, but it is outdated as they focus more on their Facebook page and other media. And no, I don't know these people, nor have I agreed to shill for a spot of muscatel - but I think it's definitely worth promoting not only a quality winery, but a perfect destination to toast a day without the kids.

First session back, this is from Wednesday:
Squat 185 x 5 x 3
Press 105 x 5 x 3
Dead 225 x 5 x 1
Everything felt good. I did a couple barbell lifts recently(before being back on the program, and squatted 225 x 5 x 3 with no real issues and pressed something like 135 x 3, 115 x 5 x 2) so I thought I'd start well below those numbers and get some momentum going. Hoping to make large jumps the first few workouts/weeks and milk that as much as possible before getting back to usual progression. Since I'm posting this late, my next workout will be in an hour or so lol

ROCKFORD — "Why didn't she just leave?" "Why didn't she say something earlier?" "You should have known better."
To all of the familiar responses that further victimize women of domestic abuse and sexual assault, Winnebago County Judge Rosemary Collins says, "No more."
In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, the 17th Judicial Circuit Court Family Violence Coordinating Council hosted the 14th Annual Shining the Light on Domestic Violence Ceremony on Wednesday at the Zeke Giorgi Legal Clinic.
About 40 people attended the event to recognize and honor the work that has been done to improve safety for victims of domestic violence.
"We cannot ignore the impact domestic violence has on individuals, families and our community as a whole," said Collins, the council chairwoman.
In 2014, the Rockford Police Department and Winnebago County Sheriff's Department responded to 4,862 domestic violence-related offenses resulting in 1,071 arrests.
State Rep. Dr. Litesa Wallace, D-Rockford, said the public must no longer turn a blind eye to the wide-ranging effects of domestic violence.
"Every year, I think about how much further we have to go," said Wallace, who spoke at the Thompson Center in Chicago earlier this month to help kick off Domestic Violence Awareness Month. "When you think of the women who can't tell their story or the children not being able to advocate for themselves, those voices are the voices we have to be able to advocate for. We have to be able to move this discussion much further along."
Wallace also briefly shared her own story of domestic violence.
"I am a survivor and I think of the fact until about a year ago, actually until about five or six months ago, I worried about what would be the repercussions if I told my story because the physical wounds heal ... but you never forget," she said. "You cannot erase those memories away."
Andrea Carlson, coordinator of the Family Violence Coordinating Council, was recognized with a Shining the Light on Domestic Violence Award in recognition of her efforts to make the public more aware of issues related to the crime.
"Raising awareness makes a difference," she said. "Awareness allows victims to speak out. We have to be supportive of them if we want them to talk about it."
The event concluded with a candlelight vigil to mourn the 39 adults and three children who were killed statewide between July 1, 2014 and June 30 of this year in domestic violence-related incidents, and seven domestic violence-related suicide victims.

Earthquakes are due to the breaking of rock
at depth. Although the Earth does not seem to
move, in fact there are forces acting on rocks and
these forces are called stresses. When
the stress at some location exceeds the
strength of the material rock, the rock fractures
and THAT is an earthquake.
An earthquake happens when the stress of the
rocks sliding past one-another becomes so
great that friction can no longer keep them from
moving. When this break happens, you get an
earthquake as the rocks keep moving until friction
can stop them again.
And earthquake is caused when pieces of the
earth suddenly move, and they jerk the earth.
Earthquakes are most common along tectonic plate
boundaries, and at faults. For example, at the San
Andreas fault, one side of the earth is moving in
a different direction than the other. If a big
amount of movement happens, one side jerks past
the other and the ground shakes with the movement.
Geologists and Geophysicists are the
scientists who study earthquakes and they track
how much movement occurs every year.

Unusual facts
Tragedies and Catastrophies
Natural disasters
For too long, mankind has been defying the planet, believing it could have the advantage over mother nature. However, history has proven that to be wrong and will continue to do so over and over again. Would it be volcanoes, hurricanes, tsunamis or earthquakes, when nature unleashes its fury, everything goes. This page contains bits and parts of stories relating history's greatest natural disasters. We never know when the next terrible disaster will strike, but these emergency management degrees can give you a career of helping to prepare for them and save lives.
This is our section devoted to the natural disasters.
The eruption of Mount Pélée (1902)
The worst volcanic disaster of the 20th Century. The eruption caused about 26,000 to 36,000 casualties and destroyed the city of Saint-Pierre.

On June 30th,1934 the historic day of the Night of Long Knives,Adolf Hitler,the Fuhrer or Chancellor of Germany,scared stiff that the famed and notorious SA, the abbreviation for Sturmabteillung (German Assault Division), which had helped him to power, had become too,too powerful,and a danger to his continued governance didn't think twice,ordering the mass murder of the SA leadership.Ernst Rohm, the very highly ambitious leader of the SA, who was plotting to merge the regular army to the SA,under his leadership was summarily executed.The SA was at that point in time, about 2 million, which was 20times,the size of the regular army.
Fast forward to 24th June,2017,same month of June,some 83 years later, but this time in Nigeria. Nyesom Wike,the Governor of oil rich Rivers State, facing an internal rebellion,an in house coup by some of his commissioners reenacted the Night of Long Knives. He swiftly crushed the in house coup,which confirmed his high political instincts,and a deep understanding of the nature of politics. Failure by Wike to have nibbled the in house coup,would have precipitated the beginning of the end of his administration.The dissolution of the State Executive Council was a political master stroke. When the State Commissioner of Information and Communication Austin Tam George,on 23rd June,2017 resigned,little did he know that his action would lead to an earthquake,that would also send his other colleagues home. The Governor,first announced with immediate effect the sack of Bathuel Harrison,the State Commissioner of Works and followed up with the sack of what was left of the cabinet.
Politics from the Greek word,Politiká: Politika,is the process of making decisions applying to all members of each group. More narrowly, it refers to achieving and exercising positions of governance – an organized control over a human society or community.Wike didn't battle his good friend,Rotimi Ameachi,the Minister of Transport to a stand still,for the fun of it.It is beyond mere ambition,considering his political steps – Chairman of Obior Akpor for 8 years. Heading the Association of Local Government of Nigeria(ALGON), being Chief of Staff to his now estranged friend,a minister and finally governor. Not many people seem to be aware of his deep experience,so his deft political moves,consequently comes as a surprise to them.But Wike clearly understands that the name of political game is eternal vigilance.In net effect,what Wike had to battle was weak loyalty.Were it a parliamentary system of government,Wike would have been removed through a vote of no confidence.At the reception for Evans Bipi, Majority Leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly,Wike said,"You must work with those who are loyal. Those who are not loyal will be shown the way out. Those who are loyal will come back. When you are going into another dispensation, you have to put things in order." A confirmation that he was indeed battling divided loyalty.
Most Nigerians have wrong notions of politics.They think politics is dirty. They think saints run governments.The reality of politics is what the former opposition All Progressive Congress(APC), is now contending with,having successfully dislodged the Peoples Democratic Party.It has proved itself incapable of even the simplest of tasks – holding a none elective convention.It can't pay rent for its headquarters,light and water have been caught off. Yet many Nigerians continue to look forward to good leadership from the APC,which can't take care of itself. Mao Tse Tung said "Politics is war without bloodshed,while war is politics with bloodshed"Politics is about survival. It is the romanticization of politics,that most times colour our reaction to events like that of Wike's dissolution of his cabinet.And the antics of some Muhammadu Buhari's aides in making sure,Nigerians don't forget who the president is.
In the animal world,male lions mature around 26 months,but hardly ever get to mate until they are five years,and have the size to take over a pride, and with it comes the breeding rights,not due to "scarcity" of females.Of interest is the tendency of male lions to kill cubs,so as to bring the females back into heat.He lacks that patience to hang around until she comes on heat again,so he forces her, by his cold and efficient murder of the cubs. A female lion knows,that the arrival of a new king,is doom for her cubs,as the new king naturally wants his offsprings to succeed,to be the new generation. It was a strategic mistake for the commissioners to have confronted the governor,when they lack the necessary insurance cover. They should have learnt from the lions,to bid their time,before forcing issues,if there were.
Politics is about whose ideas that will prevail.Wike,like the lion, obviously wants to reshape Rivers State in his own image,which is why he contested.Donald Trump is so preoccupied and obsessed with repeal and replace of the Obamacare, in spite of the huge political capital it is costing him. The question is Why? The answer is not far fetched, Trump wants to leave his footprints on the sands of time,as the real and true Conservative that corrected the problem that is Obamacare. How about the President of Turkey, Tayyip Erdogan? Erdogan through a series of very fundamental amendments,has transformed Turkey from a parliamentary democracy to American style presidential democracy. He has cemented his hold on power,until sometime in 2029. And the latest wiz kid on the block, Emmanuel Macron of France? The French president promised and is working on a "profound transformation" of France – a radical change in French Labour laws,overhaul of the parliament,,that would see a reduction in the number of members of parliament.This is why people run for offices and they must maintain control. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair,was ousted once he showed signs of laxity by Gordon Brown,his trusted ally,who turned out to be a jester.
Before the last week earthquake, that he precipitated, Wike had removed Wachuku, whom he had accused of living below expectation."I have a covenant with the people of Rivers state to develop this state. And anybody who is going to work with me must work at my speed and not at your own speed. Nobody should come and drag me back like the former commissioner. Wachukwu is intelligent, but he could not meet up with the pace of work at the ministry", he declared while announcing the sack of Wachuku. Five months after,Wike suspended four commissioners- Dr John Bazia, Chieftaincy Affairs; Mrs Tonye Briggs-Oniyide; Culture and Tourism; Dr Fred Kpakol, Finance and Mr Boma Iyaye; Sports.Also suspended was the Head of Service, Mr Rufus Godwin and Mr Anugbum Onuoha, Special Adviser on Lands. Though they were recalled the signs,were all over the place,that the governor wasn't going to abdicate responsibility,signs that the Commissioners refused to read or read wrongly.
The crime of Jonathan was his weakness to fire.Alision D. Madueke,the Minister of Petroleum has been fingered as the biggest problem of the Jonathan administration. The APC was able to brand Jonathan as weak and incompetent,due to his failure to call her and some other ministers to order.Wike as a Minister,must have observed at very close range some of these events,which is why he is making it clear that the buck,stops at his table.Wike must have also read about Lyndon Johnson and Barry Goldwater in the 1964 United States elections. After Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 presidential elections to Lyndon Johnson,several political writers embarked upon an inquest,as to why he lost,because there is that feeling that Goldwater would have made a much better president than Johnson,just as Donald Trump is making people have a rethink about his suitability for the presidency. The conclusion: was that "being right in the sense of being correct is not sufficient to win.You don't win just because your heart is pure, even if you can prove logically that you are right". They followed up with the logical question: What determines victory? The finding is the painful reality, that "the real world doesn't work that way". And the findings became the Bible of the Conservatives.Johnson trounced Goldwater,winning by 41 million votes to Goldwater's 27 million votes.
The Commissioners who thought Wike ,after what he went through and is still going through,to be governor would surrender " political power" to them,have poor political education.The grapevine has it that the root of the crisis are claims they are not "making money". Which is understandable,with the scarce resources.But spreading political patronage for coalitions will always be a problem. Part of the crisis facing the APC,is the refusal of "Saint Buhari"to spread appointments,to his "unsaintly" supporters. It will always be a problem,but it is the political brinkmanship that makes the difference.
Wike must have read "The Logic of Political Survival" By Bruce Mesquita et al. In that seminal work,the authors argued that "A large winning coalition is detrimental to political survival,because coalition members will be less loyal to their leaders. They have less to lose if their leaders are replaced". What will they lose if Wike is ousted? They will move on. Is this not true of the APC today? Not even its broken or is it cracked record,Professor Itse Sagay, believes that the war on corruption is not being fought,with any seriousness. So the APC today,is at war with itself,and with the larger society,because it has failed to satisfy any of its publics.Unlike Wike,who has aligned with the people.And they have so far,repaid him bountifully by voting for him in the various reruns.If Ameachi, had captured the State House of Assembly,Wike would have been history. Wike understands this fact.
Bruce further argued,that when winning coalitions are large,the cost of providing private benefits becomes unaffordably high,and that such a leader is better off going for "public good,to serve the larger public interest", than narrow interests. Wike,must have learnt from the experience of his boss, former President Goodluck Jonathan,that "good guys" don't succeed in politics.Yes leaders,political survival depends on their followers' support, but the reality like Jonathan found out too late, is that spreading prosperity,and holding no political prisoners wasn't enough to win and retain power.His nice guy image,didn't help him. According to Bruce et al "Democratic governments appear to offer their citizens more peace and prosperity than autocracies do, but autocratic leaders stay in office roughly twice as long as leaders in democratic nations.". APC has done several "unthinkables", that the PDP never contemplated. And it is getting away with them. One exciting conclusion of The Logic of Political Survival "is that in many cases good policies are detrimental to political survival, whereas bad policies often enhance political survival". Is this what the APC is thinking? Spreading poverty,to retain power?
Jonathan would never have perpetually detained Major General Saraki Muktar,the National Security Adviser to late President Unaru Yar'Adua ,like Muhammadu Buhari has held Col.Sambo Dasuki,his National Security Adviser without the heavens falling? But Buhari has gotten away with several blue murder. The poster boy of the Buhari administration Babatunde Fashola who like Nigerians will say "made so much noise" about the inability of the Goodluck administration to provide power,has been delivering darkness. The question is if Fashola delivers darkness, when due to the raining season,the hydro powers are expected to fire at full capacity,after the rains what will happen? Worse still Fashola hasn't produced a roadmap that will form any basis of hope, that tomorrow will be better.Nor is the APC bothered about worsening economic conditions of Nigerians.
The battle for 2019 is already on.Rotimi Ameachi and Senator Magnus Abe, have kickstarted the free style wrestling, that is bound to be a million dollar thriller. But the indication is that Ameachi would have been spent fighting Abe,before facing his nemesis Wike. Or will it be a no contest? The dissolution of the cabinet is partly a reaction to that emerging political scenario. Wike will be politically naive not have taken interest in that fight,nor close his eyes,to the real fight,a repeat of the rumble in the jungle,between him and Dakuku Peterside , the preferred candidate of Rotimi Ameachi.
Wike is framing the appropriate arguments for 2019- enthronement of a new Rivers State.A Rivers State of new possibilities.He seems to be telling Rivers people,it is not about me,it is about you. Defeating Ameachi in 2015, was not a mean feat,but doing a double – home and away on him, which would settle the rivalry,will depend on him continuously delivering the goods to the people.It is obvious that Wike, clearly understands that this is what would guarantee him that victory.So the governor must continue to tackle the provision of infrastructure and human development in his strides.The critical question is where is the money for these projects coming from,especially with the dwindling resources from the Federation Allocation? The budget shows that it is the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR ).Figures indicate that the State has increased monthly revenue collection from about N3 billion to about N9 billion,which is what some states generate in a financial year.This is a testimony of Wike's prudent management of resources.
Political observers must not take their eyes off Rivers State. It is a State to watch.

Spring 2017 welcomed 7,051 enrolled international students to Michigan State University. These students make up about 14 percent of the Spartan student body.
Most of the university's international students come from China, Korea, India, Canada and Saudi Arabia. With them, each student brings a piece of their culture to Greater Lansing. Ethnic restaurants spanning from Okemos to downtown Lansing play a large role in quilting the area's cultural mosaic.
Here are three signature dishes for three of the countries with the largest number of international students enrolled at MSU — and where locally to taste their cuisine.
1. China: 4,208 students
Qingrui Li, a Chinese student studying advertising management at Michigan State University, said one of the most traditional Chinese dishes is called hot pot. Hot pot is a mixture of meats, seafood or tofu with vegetables or beans.
It's believed that hot pot originated in Mongolia, despite its deep history in Chinese culture, according to Maureen Pao, an associate producer for NPR and editor of housewares retailer Kitchen Window. It eventually made its way to Tang Dynasty China between the 7th and 10th centuries. Pao reported that there are now nearly as many types of hot pot as there are Chinese dialects.
To try hot pot, Li recommends the East Lansing restaurant Gourmet Village. She said it's one of the few restaurants in the Lansing area that serve this traditional dish.
2. India: 383 students
Palak Sabinnenni, an Indian communications graduate from Michigan State University, said one of India's signature dishes is called dosa. Dosa is a pancake-like dish made from fermented batter. It can be served any time of the day, with a variation of fillings — often gravy-like sambar or spicy chutney.
Dosa can be traced back to the Medieval Period, when Mughal cuisine was introduced in India by Muslims in Central Asia, according to Mukunda Foods, an automated Indian food equipment company in Bangalore. It's usually served vegetarian, due to the influence of the Hindu religion on Indian culture.
In the Greater Lansing area, dosa can be found at Persis Indian Grill in Okemos and Sindhu in East Lansing. Sabinnenni said she recommends Persis Indian Grill for her favorite local dosa.
3. Canada: 208 students
Shikha Singh, a Canadian fisheries and wildlife graduate from Michigan State University, said one of Canada's signature dishes is poutine, a comfort food dish made with French fries, cheese curds and brown gravy.
Le Roy Jucep, a chain restaurant in Quebec, is known for being the inventor of poutine. In the late 1950s, Jean-Paul Roy marketed poutine for the first time, at his small restaurant, Le Roy de la potate, according to the restaurant's history. He opened Le Roy Jucep in 1964, which became known for its poutine.
Poutine is served at East Lansing's Beggar's Banquet, HopCat and Buffalo Wild Wings. It's not prepared traditionally, however, Singh said.

The yin-yang of David Carradine
He seemed at once calm and explosive.
By Reed Johnson
June 5, 2009
As an actor, and possibly as a human being, David Carradine was a walking yin-yang symbol, a bundle of opposites tightly stitched together.
As a younger man, his lean, taut frame suggested both graceful self-possession and a capacity for explosive violence. Several of his best roles, both in film and television, cast him as a thinking-person's action hero, poised in perpetual tension between contemplative inner peace and outward aggression and hostility.
In his most iconic role, Kwai Chang Caine, the philosophy-spouting, butt-kicking hero of ABC's drama "Kung Fu" (1972-75), he played a half-Chinese man who was raised by Shaolin monks. On the lam in the American Old West, in search of his half-brother, Caine (like his biblical namesake) was a man divided against himself: a soft-spoken, flute-playing martial arts demon; a wandering loner who reached deep into prairie folks' souls by uttering Zen-like paradoxes.
The show caught the tenor of its times. It arrived toward the tail-end of the hippie counterculture movement, when Americans were questioning "Establishment" authority and dabbling in Eastern mysticism, reading books such as Robert Pirsig's novel, "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." A year earlier, the cult film "Billy Jack" had fused karate-macho antics with the figure of a rebellious antihero.
Caine, a kind of bareheaded, bare-footed, 19th century beatnik poet, reflected a national mood of vague spiritual yearning, mixed with unease over the durability of Western values, and partially prompted by the United States' dispiriting experience with the Vietnam War.
Three decades later, Quentin Tarantino would seize on Carradine's dualistic (and dueling) star persona when he cast him as the title character in "Kill Bill." The sprawling, two-part epic drew on Hong Kong martial arts movies and Italian spaghetti westerns, and was shaped by contrasting Eastern and Western notions of the aesthetics and metaphysics of violence.
The actor, who made more than 100 films over a more than 40-year career, was found dead on June 3 in his hotel room in Bangkok, where he had been on location shooting a movie. Details remain murky. Police reported that the actor had been found by a hotel maid, dead in a wardrobe with a rope around his neck and body. But Carradine's manager said the actor had died of natural causes.
A member of the dynastic Carradine acting clan, which also includes family patriarch John Carradine and half-siblings Keith and Robert, David Carradine studied music and served in the Army before taking up stage acting. He landed his first bit-part film role in an adaptation of Louis L'Amour's western novel "Taggart."
Carradine's rugged, hard-to-place features and his terse, sometimes laconic manner gave him the ability to be cast in roles as varied as Caine, folk troubadour Woody Guthrie in Hal Ashby's "Bound for Glory" (1976), and as a renegade driver in Paul Bartel's 1975 apocalyptic thriller "Death Race 2000," which prefigured George Miller's "Mad Max" films.
Destructive impulses, and the individual's struggle to master them and bend them toward good, was a recurring motif in Carradine's film and TV roles. Good men, in Carradine's acting universe, may harbor brutal instincts and yield to primitive reflexes. Bad men, despite their flaws, may adhere to their own rigid, if twisted, codes of honor.
In Walter Hill's 1980 western "The Long Riders,", Carradine was cast with his brothers Keith and Robert as members of the outlaw Younger gang. The movie included a memorable scene in which Carradine squares off in a saloon knife fight, a riveting piece of cinematic choreography that invited viewers simply to enjoy the actor's physicality and calculated stoicism.
Carradine could evince a very convincing, sinewy toughness, one that he used in other roles to memorable effect. Caine's gently quizzical manner had been replaced by an insinuating, softly menacing voice and a hard stare. You wouldn't want to mess with this guy.
Carradine's martial arts proficiency was largely faked in "Kung Fu." But the actor later took up these skills and even turned out a video series in martial arts training that he produced and starred in. In fact, Carradine dined out on this martial-arts-guru image for years, even deploying it for tongue-in-cheek television commercials. And while his résumé kept growing, many of his late-career roles were forgettable lower-end features.
Married five times, Carradine had a personal life as volatile as any of his film roles. One reviewer described Carradine's autobiography, "Endless Highway," as a "dreary catalog of human disaster," i.e. the actor's own life. Characteristically candid in public -- sometimes disarmingly, sometimes abrasively -- he acknowledged struggling with both drug and alcohol abuse.
His complex nature flared up in public this spring during an American Cinematheque screening and discussion of "Bound for Glory," at which Carradine got into an extended shouting match with audience members and Haskell Wexler, the esteemed cinematographer who won an Oscar for "Bound for Glory." According to a lengthy account of the evening by entertainment writer Chris Willman, Carradine lashed out against labor unions and publicly berated Wexler for making "Bound for Glory" look too beautiful.
"I would have said, turn up the contrast, show the grit under the fingernails, don't make any beauty about it, make it [expletive] ugly," Willman quotes Carradine declaring to the stunned audience and the visibly (and understandably) infuriated Wexler.
Carradine will be remembered for his grittiness, to be sure, but also for imparting a certain strange beauty to ugly acts and dark arts.

Life Lesson #343: Always open the yogurt carton away from you. Life Lesson #122: If you get dressed before you brush your teeth, you will get little white spots all over your clothes.
These are a couple of life lessons I have learned over the years. When I asked some of you about yours, I was both educated … and amused by what you shared.
For example, Geri – with whom I shared a brief stint training with the Peace Corps in Turkmenistan nearly 10 years ago – recommends keeping a change of clothes in your backpack instead of your carry-on. Some flights require you to check carry-ons, and a long delay or layover are much more bearable with clean clothes!
Other travel lessons include this important one from Keri: Always have a paper map with you in case your phone dies while you are in the middle of nowhere. Kat's learned to unlock the steering of her motorcycle before she takes off on a ride.
Food lessons also cropped up. Rick says – inexplicably, to me – to eat only one donut per day (if you eat any donuts at all). In a couple of learned-the-hard-way lessons, Karl warns us never to fry bacon while naked, and Elaine says never swing a stick around to snuff your burning marshmallow … you can't begin to image how badly that can turn out.
Other such critical life lessons come from Dave – never squat with your spurs on – and this from Doug: Don't buy and wear new running socks for a race. John says he learned that swallowing a lighted pack of matches might impress the girls in college, but it will also definitely upset your stomach.
If you have pets, you can probably identify with Dixie, who reminds us not to pet the cat or dog right as we leave for work. Becki's learned that her short-legged little dog will whine to get on the bed just as she begins to fall asleep.
Recounting a personal experience, Patty warns us – when it's below zero and icy out – not to pick up your dog's business because you could fall and break a wrist. And then there's Ann: Do not hug someone with both of your arms when you are holding a bag of your dog's business in one of your hands.
I'm with Molly on this one – Murphy's Law is real.
Scarlet, my lovely eight-year-old friend, says she's learned that if you go into the forest, you'll get dirt all over you (and it's fun!). Elaine relates another forest life lesson that log booms in a lake are invisible in the dark.
I wish I had learned this one earlier in life – Amanda says that just because something looks cute on a toddler, it doesn't mean it will look cute on you.
Then there are the life lessons that help make someone else's life sweeter, easier. My nephew Joel quotes Ingrid Bergman: Happiness is good health and a bad memory. Keri reminds us to be kind to everyone – even rude people – because you never know what other people are going through.
And, as a final reminder that we are all in this together, Molly and I also share my Life Lesson #1004: I get by with a little help from my friends.
Andrea Doray is a writer who thinks Tom's life lesson may be one of the best: If you see a turtle on a fence post, someone probably put it there. Share your life lessons with Andrea at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Sharing Heritage" in Osnabrück
"Sharing Heritage" is the title of the European Culture Heritage Year 2018. Along those lines there is going to take place a European participation and encounter project "Lab Europe" from the 16th to 26th of August in the city of peace Osnabrück. The participation for that project is possible for 18 to 25 years old people from the now 38 cities that were awarded with the European Culture Heritage Seal. Except for a participation fee at the amount of 100 Euro the costs will be taken care of by the city of Osnabrück.
The common creative work from the participants will take place in five so called labs or workshops, in which figuratively speaking something "divides" and "cultures" grow.
Therefore, there will be labs in different fields like art, history, performance, music as well as media and games offered. The participants deal with the European values and the challenges that Europe is being faced with. They deal with questions about the individual and national safety, with the history and present of Europe while developing a perspective for a future Europe. Professional partners like the "Theater Osnabrück", the "Kunsthalle Osnabrück" or the Institute for Music lead the labs.
The communication language will be English.
Interested young adults can apply for participation until the 15th of May 2018. More information on the organization for the project, the topics of the labs, the conditions for application as well as contact details can be found on the website www.lab-europe-osnabrueck.de.
