AMP Blog: Detroit Narrative Agency
Call for Submissions - Radical Remedies: Collective Healing and Power Through Story
As our communities face the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and severe anti-Black racism, what do resilience, resistance, joy, grief, and collective care look like?
Detroit Narrative Agency (DNA) invites Detroiters and Michigan residents to creatively respond to this question through short videos with its latest project, Radical Remedies: Collective Healing and Power Through Story.
Introducing: Ethics & AestheticsEthics & Aesthetics
DNA hosted screenings and dialogues as part of our Learning Journey. The goal of this new programming was to build more intentional space for our communities to view media projects and films relevant to Detroit and reflect on their form and content. We intentionally worked with emerging filmmakers in the DNA ecosystem to document these powerful conversations and are excited to share the videos with you here!
Hiring: Co-Director for Detroit Narrative Agency (DNA)
About Us
The stories we tell about a place form a kind of DNA-- shaping what that place is and what it can become. The Detroit Narrative Agency (DNA) incubates quality and compelling stories with an ecosystem of community members, storytellers, mediamakers, and organizers, that shift the dominant narratives about Detroit towards liberation and justice.
Detroit Narrative Agency's DNA 2.0 fellowship wraps with film screening and celebration
The five members of the DNA 2.0 cohort continued projects that germinated within the first DNA cohort of ten that launched in January of 2016. Their projects include Dangerous Times | Rebellious Responses, directed by Alicia Diaz; Riding with Aunt D. Dot, directed by Bree Gant; Femme Queen Chronicles, directed by Ahya Simone; Sidelots, directed by Atieno Nyar Kasagam; and Take Me Home, directed by Orlando Ford.
Behind the Scenes: DNA Projects Take Shape Ahead of AMC2018
When the Detroit Narrative Agency (DNA) issued a call for project proposals, they were seeking film projects that shift narratives about Detroit, particularly projects led by those most often excluded from critical conversations about the city: Black and Brown Detroiters. Two years later, five DNA projects are in production and slated to present work-in-progress screenings at the 20th Annual Allied Media Conference in June.

The past 24 hours in gossip, innuendo, and cold hard facts about the San Francisco food scene.
Back to forks and spoons: After five years, Spork is readying to close at the end of the month. Tablehopper reveals that the owners will focus on new projects and their other restaurant, Thermidor. If you're wanting one more in-side-out burger, better get there now.
After Tell Tale Preserve Company shuttered earlier this year, we were left to wonder where pastry chef and owner William Werner would reemerge. Well, Tablehopper found him at the helm of Outfit Generic, a "boutique hospitality group," as the Chief Creative Officer. He and the rest of the group are in the process of constructing a production kitchen in Bayview-Hunter's Point, with Spring plans for a patisserie -- fingers crossed that the Rebel Within returns.
Pending openers: Good Taste notes Sunset's Curry Village will open another location in the Mission before by the end of December, but you'll still have to make the trek out to the original location for all-you-cant-eat $10 buffet. Grub Street reiterates Darn Good Food is coming to the Financial District (their Facebook says January). Tablehopper shares Precita Park Cafe should soft open before the end of the week, and learns the name for the pending Italian specialty shop we mentioned Monday: Geppetto's Salumeria, how fitting for the spot next door to Trattoria Pinocchio.
Tablehopper also discovers some foodie news in the Dogpatch. There's another rotisserie slated for the City, Gilberth's Rotisserie & Grill is slated to open in January. Besides the chicken, the menu will focus on Latin-fusion dishes. While the Dogpatch bar, Sea Star Club, is now The Goat. Look for twelve beers on tap.
Just browsing: Inside Scoop discovers London's Chinese restaurant Hakkasan is looking at One Kearny (at Market) as a possible San Francisco location for it's expensive dim sum and dinner dishes. While the restaurant's outpost in Miami is already open, and New York is on the way, the West Coast expansion remains in the planning stages. So don't get too excited -- yet.

At the end of 2018 I decided to take advantage of having finished my Goodreads Challenge to read some of the longer books on my TBR list, and so I finally got round to reading Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb and Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon. Both of them took me quite a while to get through, but I really enjoyed them, although perhaps one more than the other. Check out my reviews below for my thoughts! Ship of Magic by Robin Hobb "Many will rant and rave against the garment fate has woven for them, but they pick it up and don it all the same, and most… Read more »

Review: Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
'The original source of the Skill will probably remain forever shrouded in mystery. Certainly a penchant for it runs remarkably strong within the royal family, and yet it is not solely confined to the King's household.' Warning: Minor spoilers. Seen as I'm currently having a major fantasy-reading phase, I decided it was about time I checked out another big name in the genre: Robin Hobb. Assassin's Apprentice is the first in her much-lauded Farseer Trilogy, and I have to say, for me, it largely lived up to the hype. The novel tells the story of Fitz, the bastard son of… Read more »

Improved mixing time bounds for the L-reversal chain and Thorp shuffle.Mathematical Physics & Probability
|Ben Morris, UC Davis
|Start time:
|Tue, Mar 6 2007, 2:10PM
Durrett introduced the following "L-reversal model" for evolution of a genome. There are n cards arrayed in a circle. Each step, an interval of cards of length at most L is chosen uniformly at random and its order is reversed. E. Thorp introduced the following model of a card shuffle in 1973. Cut the deck into two equal piles. Drop the first card from the left pile or the right pile according to the outcome of a fair coin flip; then drop from the other pile. Continue this way until both piles are empty. We prove a theorem about card shuffling that yields mixing time bounds for both the L-reversal model and Thorp shuffle that are within a few logarithmic factors of optimal. Previously, the best bounds had been n^{2/3} times optimal for the L-reversal model and more than (log n)^{25} times optimal for the Thorp shuffle. Previous proofs for the Thorp shuffle had been valid only when n is a power of two.

Bipartisan lawmakers seek to expand the pool of people who qualify to invest in private securities offerings, boost the lending capability of BDCs and ease regulations on closed-end funds
By Mark Schoeff Jr. for InvestmentNews | November 9, 2017
Legislation that would deepen the pool of sophisticated investors who can participate in private securities offerings and expand the lending capability of business development companies is gaining momentum in Congress.
On Nov. 1, the House approved a bill to reform the accredited investor standard by broadening it to include people with securities licenses, such as investment advisers and brokers, as well as those with special expertise to invest in businesses that center on their specialty. Currently, people must meet income and net-worth requirements to be accredited.
This week, House lawmakers introduced a measure that would allow BDCs to use more leverage when providing loans to startup companies. Another new bill designed to foster capital formation would ease regulations on closed-end funds.
The House passed the accredited investor bill by voice vote, and the BDC bill has bipartisan cosponsors, Reps. Steve Stivers, R-Ohio, and Gwen Moore, D-Wisc. The bipartisan activity on Capitol Hill dovetails with Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Jay Clayton's desire to get more ordinary investors involved in initial public offerings.
"Democratization of access to capital for small businesses is broadly a Republican goal, while the access to wealth creation for the middle class is broadly a Democratic goal," said D.J.. Paul, co-founder of Crowdfunding Intermediary Regulatory Advocates.
The accredited investor bill does not yet have a Senate companion, but there is interest in such legislation, said Anya Coverman, director of government affairs and general counsel at the Investment Program Association, a trade group that advocates for investments like real estate investment trusts, BDCs, close-end funds, and energy and equipment leasing programs.
"You hear a lot that Senate members, especially on the Banking Committee, want to work on legislation that has bipartisan support," Ms. Coverman said.
The growing legislative and regulatory interest in alternative investments could come with an investor-protection drawback. As ordinary investors participate in alternatives, they also become more vulnerable to risk. Last year, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc. implemented a rule designed to increase pricing transparency of illiquid investments, such as nontraded real estate investment trusts.
Bill Kelly, chief executive of the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association, said he favors a "democratized" financial market. But broadening the landscape also requires taking into account that small investors don't have the wherewithal of institutional investors to analyze offerings.
"You've got to make sure the playing field is level, and that will be a big challenge for people who have this access," Mr. Kelly said. "Risk has to be at the forefront of everybody's mind."
As investors have sought higher yields, some have turned to BDCs, which are firms that provide loans to small- and medium-size companies. The House bill would allow them to increase their leverage ratio to 2:1 from 1:1.
Joseph Glatt, general counsel at Apollo Investment Corp., a global alternative asset manager, said BDCs give ordinary investors a way to participate in local startups.
"BDCs are Main Street funding Main Street," Mr. Glatt said. "Increasing leverage a modest amount will ultimately be a net positive for the economy and marketplace by freeing up capital that can go to small- and medium-size businesses that may find traditional bank capital unavailable."
He argues that BDCs, which must register with the SEC and make regular disclosures, are a safe investment.
"Retail investors benefit from the regulatory overlay that BDCs have," Mr. Glatt said.
Another protection for ordinary investors are their investment advisers, according to Mr. Kelly.
"The role these RIAs play will be critically important, because they are going to be the vetting mechanism for their clients, who are the accredited investors," he said.

Testing for Toxins
We offer testing for a large variety of toxic and hazardous substances. Whether it involves exposure in the home, the environment or the workplace, our blood panels will help isolate the substances which may casuing your health problems. Even if you are currently without symptoms, our accurate quantitative testing will help you determine if your exposure has been significant enough to seek medical attention.
The most common toxic materials found in the home are toxic mold, lead and mercury, and trichloroethane (found in certain glues and paints). Exposure to these materials can cause serious respiratory or neurological damage, especially in children. Some toxins, especially heavy metals, have become increasingly prevalent in the food and water we consume. If in doubt as to which of these metals you may have been exposed to, we recommend our Heavy Metal Profiles, which test for the most common agents (arsenic, lead, mercury in Profile I; chromium in Profile II). Our urine test for volatiles can detect the presence of alcohols commonly found in the home (ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, or methanol).
Environmental toxins may also include arsenic (present in paint, pesticides and weed killers), various insecticides (with exposure measured by the Cholinesterase Test), chlorinated solvents (again found in certain pesticides), DDT, and PCB (Polychlorinated Biphenyls).
We also offer tests for less common hazardous substances. More often, these are toxic chemicals found primarily in the workplace, especially in industry. They include acid anhydride, antimony, aromatic solvents (which include benzene, ethyl benzene, styrene, toluene, and xylene), cadmium, chromium, cobalt, dimethylacetamide, fluoride, isocyanates, ketone solvents (including Methyl n-Butyl Ketone), manganese, nickel, perchloroethylene, phenol, selenium, silver, thalium, and zinc. Knowledge of which materials you have worked with will be extremely helpful in narrowing down which tests to choose.

Oxford Diecast Bentley T2 Saloon Seychelles Blue Shell Grey
Oxford Diecast Bentley T2 Saloon Seychelles Blue Shell Grey
Product Code: 76BT2004
We revert to a two-tone colour scheme for our fourth release on the Bentley T2 which we present in steely blue with contrasting aluminium blue body, registered 994 AXY. The silver wheels have white banded tyres with wheel centres echoing the dark blue body colour, whilst the interior seating is moulded in greeny blue, all rounded off by the detailed Bentley winged badge on the front and back of the car.
The Bentley T2 was manufactured by Bentley Motors Ltd in Crewe between 1977 and 1980, yet only 550 were made across three body configurations. Here at Oxford, our model is based on the standard four-door version, which nevertheless looks rather splendid and luxurious.

BRISBANE, Australia – Canada was running on all cylinders as both the pitching and offense flexed their muscle in a 10-1 win over Australia in the second exhibition game of this series.
The Canadians collected 15 hits to go along with four home runs in this game which saw 10 of the 12 players who saw action get at least one hit.
"We got to see a lot of pitch tonight and this time we were squaring up the baseball," says Manager Terry Puhl. "You could see that this team has a lot of power. It's going to be fun."
The Canadian offense did not waste any time to put points on the board. The first inning saw Canada put four runs on the board with the help of a grand slam from Matt Rogelstad (New Westminster, BC).
The inning started with two straight walks to Adam Stern (London, ON) and Stubby Clapp (Windsor, ON) and a single by Mike Saunders (Victoria, BC) to load the bases. After Ryan Radmanovich (Calgary, AB) hit into a fielder's choice, Rogelstad belted the grand slam to put Canada in front 4-0.
"Today, guys got a lot of good swings," says Stern, who was 2-for-4 with a two-run home run. "Now it's going to be getting (timing) down, getting to hit the breaking balls and off speed stuff, because that's going to be our biggest challenge when you don't have a lot of time to prepare."
After increasing the lead to 5-0 on a RBI single from Radmanovich in the second inning, the Canadians scored two more runs in the third inning on a two-run homer by Nick Weglarz (Stevensville, ON), making it 7-0.
"I had a pretty good approach, slowed it down and it went good," says Weglarz, who was 2-for-4 including a double. "It was 3-1 knuckle ball that didn't break, got it up and it went."
The score would be 7-1 going into the seventh inning when Saunders hit a solo home run to bring the lead back to seven runs.
Stern would complete the scoring in the eighth inning with his two-run knock.
"Right now, results are good but you want to get comfortable, get ready to hit and today happened to be a good day," says Stern. "I still want to see more off speed stuff, but it was one of those things that all of a sudden clicked and I was ready to go."
As for the pitchers, they held the Aussie offense in check all night.
It started with Jamie Richmond (Mississauga, ON), who threw two no-hit innings, allowing only two walks with a pair of strikeouts.
"Not bad for the first time out. I didn't feel great, but it I think it went good," says Richmond.
"Jamie's been pitching with a lot of confidence really early," says Puhl. "He did well for us at the World Cup and he's going to be a big part of our pitching staff."
Jonathan Lockwood (Toronto, ON) followed with a solid two innings of his own, allowing one run on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts.
Alexandre Periard (St. Eustache, QC) and T.J. Burton (Ottawa, ON) combined to close out the Canadian side on the mound, giving up only a walk with one punch out in three innings of work.
Canada will do battle with Australia in the third game of the exhibition series on Saturday, March 1st at 7 pm.

1095. Alexis Comnenus is busy. He is preparing to defend Constantinople from the hordes of mounted Arab warriors who have begun a long process of overtaking the Mediterranean. The Seljuk Turks storm out of Anatolia and all but sack Constantinople. He is defending the same city he sacked in 1081 on his way to power. He knows its strengths and weaknesses. To the best of his ability, he has been raising troops and trying to assemble an army to keep this last vestige of the Byzantine Empire alive in the Greek and Roman traditions, not in the Muslim traditions forced upon them by their tormentors. What he did next changed European history forever. The results of his request will resonate across Europe and the Mideast to the present day.
He asked the Pope for help.
The Pope was also busy defending the Catholic Church, not so much from enemies without, but from enemies within. In fact, he was busy consolidating power and eliminating competing views of the world. His goal was to elevate Christendom to a one world monarchical power, with the Pope as the absolute ruler with authority of God and therefore with absolute power. Pope Urban II was smart and realized that reframing Christians as victims of Muslim empire building would go far in building resentment needed to launch a military campaign. Of course the Muslims were not just infidels, they were living in the land of Moses and Jesus and therefore, a replevin was needed. Who would rise to the occasion and rescue the church?
What the Pope did was light a fire to the dynamite of hatred and competing religious views. For the next millennium, the fire of that hatred burned effulgent from the United States to the Middle East and everywhere between. It was an invasion by other means. A taking of land and power based on the direct authority of a God that enemies might not recognize.
Pope Urban went to the Abbots of Cluny and tapped into their majestic riches and connections and raised an army largely of the weakest, poorest European commoners. Alongside them were the highly paid and highly trained orders of the Knights, but they did not sshown up until after the citizen army made itself known.
While building this army, the Pope delivered a few philippics that made war a devotion, it made the invasion of the Mideast a prayer, and it made war as a crusade an instrument of Christ. He said:
"Warfare against Saracens is the only righteous war."
He made mad power grabs and elevated taking an oath to the crusading cause enough to have one excommunicated if he or she demurred on the offer. The Vatican then became the world's biggest military power.
Along the way, Europeans became not just serfs, but serfs to religious tyranny, one that would divide and soak the soil of every country in Europe with blood. Religion became synonymous with intolerance often it wasn't just the Muslims who were targeted by the Crusaders. It was the Jews as well. The First Crusades helped to institutionalize anti-semitism.
In the town of Ma' arrah, 200 miles north of Jerusalem in 1098, thousands of Christian Crusaders marched into town 2000 miles away from their homes. They showed up hungry and self righteous. And armed. So they pillaged and sacked the city, and "burned pagans in a cooking pot and impaled children on spits and ate them grilled". Radulph of Caen was at Ma'arra in 1098, wrote. Fulcher of Chartres also refers to the same instance of cannibalism at Ma'arra. In A History of the Expedition to Jerusalem, Fulcher writes that the crusaders, often poor and ill equipped to an extended expedition, "suffered from excessive hunger…..I shudder to say that many of our men, terribly tormented by the maddness of starvation, cut pieces of flesh from the buttocks of Saracens lying there dead. These pieces they cooked and ate, savagely devouring the flesh while it was insufficiently roasted."
Often these Crusaders were just large armed bands of angry hungry people who stole from everyone they came across, plundered, pillaged and sometimes even worse. In Semlin, on the way to Constantinople, an argument with a Crusader ended in violence that left 4000 dead. They burned and pillaged Belgrade next. After four months of walking, the army shows up at the door of Alexius' Constantinople. He thought that the Pope would act as a typical Byzantine administrator, and requisition, some mercenaries, a few impressive companies of knights. Instead, he is greeted by a large, unstructured angry, hungry rabble of 60,000 semi literate troopers, most of them armed with little more than a sharpened stick. Many of these people came with families, and farm animals and many were bearing crosses.
The Knights ravaged Nicea, cooking people alive on spits, eating them, and torturing old people, and had no idea that they were killing Christians. As Alexius predicted, these First Crusaders were no match for the military might of the Turks. The French Knights were tricked into an ambush and slaughtered. The First Crusade was a military success largely because the French offered almost 30,000 Knights and Pikemen and archers and infantry and all well trained. The disastrous First Crusade went on for a few years after an inauspicious start and ended after Jerusalem fell to the Pope's army. Militarily it was the most successful of the remaining eight to come.

A Court of Appeal judgment handed down this week provides useful assistance to product liability insurers and manufacturers in defending product liability claims. The case of Howmet Limited v Economy Devices Limited confirms that if someone continues to use a product despite knowing it is defective, it is done so at the user's own risk and the manufacturer of the product cannot be found to be at fault in the event of damage caused by the defect.
The facts of the case
The claimant factory owner brought a claim against the manufacture of a "thermolevel" device which was supposed to detect when the level in heated tanks of liquid fell below a certain depth because in such circumstances there was a risk of fire. The claimant's factory had been destroyed by fire when one of the thermolevels had failed. The claimant claimed damages in negligence and for breach of statutory duty under the Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations 1994.
At first instance the Judge found that although the thermolevel was flawed and unsafe, the claimant had prior knowledge of the malfunction because on two previous occasions the thermolevel had failed and had caused a fire (but in those instances the fire had been extinguished before any damage had occurred). Hence the Judge held that the claimant had failed to establish that the thermolevels caused the fire because they had not been relying on the thermolevels (since they knew they were faulty).
The claimant appealed on the basis that the judge had erred in attributing to it the knowledge of its employees and, in any event, in his analysis of the claims.
The decision
The Court of Appeal held that the employees who had knowledge of the defect were sufficiently senior enough (the facilities manager, who was a senior member of the team, the plant engineering manager, and the plant engineering technician) such that their collective knowledge could be attributed to the claimant.
On that basis, the Court of Appeal found that if an end user voluntarily continues to use a product after it has been alerted to its dangerous condition then it does so at its own risk. In such circumstances the effective cause of the fire is not the defect in the product, but rather the failure on the part of the end user to put in place a system to protect the tank once it knew of the malfunction.
The court also found that the manufacturer had no control over the product once it had been delivered to the end user and could not control the way in which it was used. As a result the claim failed because causation had not been established.
In addressing the breach of the safety regulations and hence the duty imposed by s.41 of the Consumer Protection Act, the court found that no liability arose under the statute because it was established law that there should be no difference in the principles of causation between a case in negligence and a case for breach of statutory duty under the Act.
What this means for you
This case may prove a useful tool in defending claims where a claimant has knowingly used a defective product and has suffered injury as a result. The decision supplements the case of Lambert v Lewis (1981) where the court held that liability arose not from the defective design of the product but from the claimant's own negligence in continuing to use the product in a patently unsafe condition after discovery of the defects. In considering this point the court will need to be satisfied that the employee with knowledge of the defect is of sufficient seniority in the company to fix the company as a whole with knowledge.
This is a causation argument which could, potentially, defeat claims in negligence, contract and under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 – albeit I suspect that courts will be more reluctant to find that a 'consumer' (as opposed to a commercial entity) had full knowledge of the risks involved in continuing to use a defective product.
Interestingly, the Court of Appeal considered whether contributory negligence under the Law Reform (Contributory Negligence) Act 1945 applied in the circumstances (since the claimant had argued that there ought to be a reduction in damages rather than a dismissal of the claim). The Court of Appeal said that contributory negligence was not appropriate. It is worth noting in any event that a defendant cannot rely on arguments of contributory negligence in cases where it is alleged to have breached a strict contractual duty, e.g. by supplying a product that is not of satisfactory quality.

Project Highlight
Designed in phases over several years, the Butler County Medical Center showcases Bayer Becker's multi-discipline design capabilities. The project features six buildings with space for a seventh. The project presented multiple challenges, including maintaining access, parking and utility function to the existing buildings as design and construction were taking place. The existence of a regulated stream also posed a challenge. Bayer Becker was able to identify ways to cross and relocate portions of the regulated ditch to provide the space and access to various parts of the campus in a more cost effective manner. Bayer Becker also worked out a solution to expanding the parking over the ditch while still adhering to the regulations in place at the time.
Even though the project was constructed over several years, Bayer Becker's master plan balanced the overall design and earthwork, eliminating the need for retaining walls, giving the campus a coherent and fully integrated look. Bayer Becker's multi-discipline capabilities also allowed for the project to have a single project design team. This capability helped minimize costs associated with utility relocations because of potential master plan changes. A single team also ensured proactive design decisions. The team's knowledge of past phases allowed for smart design decisions, including potential issues, with future phases. Sustainable design elements included shading to help reduce heat from the asphalt surface and storm water quality elements. The site also features notable architectural and site features such as curved faced buildings around a circular parking lot and a large fountain surrounded by a roundabout.
The Butler County Medical Center began with a vision to create a full service hospital and medical complex where people could have quick and easy access to emergency services as well as frequent care without the drive required to other hospitals in the region. Thanks to Bayer Becker's project team's multi-discipline capabilities and experience with similar projects, that vision is now a reality.

One of the hardest things about being a stay-at-home mom is convincing my inner "Safety Mom" to relax long enough for me to have fun like a kid again. And getting her to let the kids have fun like kids again.
Last week I took the Little Prince and Princess to the Coralville Dam to witness the awesome power of nature uncorked by flood control. I knew from experience (having had fun as a kid) that when they've cranked open the dam to maximum outflow, it looks really cool.
Fun Mom thought standing next to the outflow chute watching all that water rushing past just a few yards away -- roiling and splashing and bubbling -- was amazing.
Safety Mom thought it was loud, stinky, and a little too splashy for comfort. Safety Mom worried that a rogue wave would somehow suck the children over, under or through the 4-foot high chain link fence. She suspected that at the very least the Little Angels would become completely soaked with the farm-chemical and fish-poo laden river water. And they would still expect to ride home in her car. Wetter and stinkier than usual.
Fun Mom thought climbing up the rip-rap retaining wall to get a better look at the outflow and to search for fossils would be exciting.
Safety Mom worried someone would twist an ankle climbing on the rocks. Or that the rocks would give way and we would all be caught in an avalanche and crushed to death. Or that the children would disturb a rock-dwelling rattle snake. Even if the snake didn't bite them, we would still be crushed in an avalanche started by heaving a boulder at the snake.
Fun Mom thought it would be cool to climb to the top of the spillway and see how much of the beach on the other side was under water.
Safety Mom worried someone would fall over the top of the spillway and drown. Never mind that we were at the far western edge of the spillway, which is only about 6-feet above the beach and the water was only about a foot deep there. It goes without saying that we did not walk along the (3-foot wide) top of the spillway.
Fun Mom thought it would be neat to feed the ducks at City Park.
Safety Mom wondered if ducks have teeth. And do ducks get rabies? And should we really be feeding Rice Krispie Treats to the ducks?
Currently, the Little Prince bears the brunt of Safety Mom's nervous warnings. Fun Mom knows that to a 9-year-old on a skateboard, scooter or bike, every bump in the road or sidewalk is a ramp to be jumped. Safety Mom scans the area for splint-making supplies and a clearing for the emergency AirCare landing pad.
Turning the Little Prince loose to ride his bike down Orange Street Hill -- the steepest hill in town -- requires no less than four admonitions to be careful:
Safety Mom: "Be careful."
Little Prince: "I will."
SM: "No, really. Be careful."
LP: "I will."
SM: "OK, now, just be careful. And tie your shoe. You don't want your shoelace to get caught in the chain."
LP: (Sigh)" I know. What do you think is going to happen?"
SM: "If your shoelace gets caught, your chain will jam, your bike will stop and you'll go flying over the handlebars and do a face plant in the middle of the road. Try to land on your helmet. And remember you have to stop at the bottom of the hill. And there are cars parked along side the road. Be careful!"
But he is already down the hill and has stopped at the stop sign. Safely.
The best part of the best day was hearing the Little Prince breathlessly tell his father (the minute he walked in the door) "...and we stood by the fence... and the wave were at least 10 ft. tall... and we found fossils... and we climbed... and it was steep...." Because all I heard was "...do we have to... when can we... what are we doing next... and what's after that...."
I can only hope that when I say "Be careful," what they hear is "I love you."

A free webinar for Trustees from the New York State Library: Sustainable Thinking for the Future of Libraries, presented by MHLS's own Coordinator for Library Sustainability, Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, will be offered on Thursday, September 8th from 2:00 – 3:00pm.
Webinar Description: Libraries must take an active, visible role in building sustainable, resilient and regenerative communities. Our future as libraries depends on it. "Sustainable Thinking" is a concept that aligns the core values of libraries with the "Triple Bottom Line" definition of sustainability, to result in libraries that have the capacity to endure, can bounce back in the face of disruption and bring new and energetic life to their communities. In this session we will explore how to infuse the core value of sustainability into everything we do, taking a whole systems approach to leading our libraries into the future and building our base of support among those we serve along the way.
At the end of this workshop participants will:
- Understand the urgency behind the need to think differently about our future
- Be mobilized to think sustainably about the future of their library and their community
- Have new tools and inspiration for helping their communities thrive
This webinar will be recorded and archived.

Focus on the Whole Child
Several years ago, we began to look critically at the kind of experience(s) we provide for our students. We understood how important it was to attend to our students' academic, social, emotional, and physical needs, as these needs were all dependent on one another for so many things--for learning and for life itself. We asked ourselves, "What do we want for our students when they leave RGS at the end of grade 6?" From that initial brainstorming session, as well as from months and months of reading, reflecting, and talking with one another, came our four Pillars.
Upon leaving Rollinsford Grade School, our hope is that every member of the learning community - students and teachers alike - are well on their way to becoming:
- Collaborative and compassionate members of our global society;
- Lifelong learners;
- Architects of their personal wellness; and
- Critical thinkers and problem solvers.
Through everything we offer our students--from their various classroom experiences, to their participation in Community Building Groups, to multiple opportunities to engage in daily unstructured play etc.--we are honoring our commitment to the whole child.
One of the greatest gifts of being a small school is the natural opportunity we have to foster a compassionate, collaborative, and active community. Our belief in the profound relationships that are built by learning collaboratively has shaped our connections with each other, our families, and the Rollinsford community. Our Community Building Groups (small groups of 10-12 K-6 students and 2 staff members) meet regularly to 1) reflect on who we are and what we practice, 2) discuss our goals, and 3) brainstorm our future path. We utilize Community Building Group time to explicitly explore and practice our communication, kindness, and personal reflection skills. We invite a variety of visitors into our school both during the school day as well as during our Student Showcases-- evenings when students and staff alike share their learning, demonstrate their knowledge, or share a healthy risk they took in order to stretch their minds. It's a remarkable experience.
Following one's passion is often times a courageous endeavor. It takes self-confidence, trust in the people around you, and a willingness to take a healthy-risk. The collective effort of every member of RGS to consciously and purposefully do the kind thing, whether people are watching or not, has created a learning environment in which students and staff are respected, appreciated, inspired, and safe. Each day we stretch our learning, share our struggles, and solve complex problems as a team, because we have a belief in ourselves and each other.
Unstructured Play and Movement:
Unstructured play is a way for children of all ages, special needs, and developmental stages to explore movement, develop physical skills, channel energy, stimulate imagination, enhance problem solving skills and promote creativity. Students have physical education classes each week as well as daily opportunities to spend extended time outside playing in the natural world (Kindergarten through sixth grade, together). The goal of melding movement with the curriculum is two fold. First, to expose our children to unique experiences they may not otherwise have that allow for self-expression and creativity and secondly, to provide an alternative approach and method for students to demonstrate their understanding.

There are many mountain cabins around the Hochkönig
...but none is as special as the tom alpine cabin. Maybe that's because there is no other cabin around Maria Alm, even around Salzburg, that has a pug as a mascot. But it might also be because of the way we run the cabin.
In addition to a spectacular mountain panorama, here you will find a certain portion of good taste: modern architecture meets rustic alpine charm, the fizziness in the sundowner is especially made and the menu holds what an alpine cabin promises. However, those who expect a classic mountain cabin will be surprised – and that's how we like it.

Emerging in the 1850s, elocutionists recited poetry or drama with music to create a new type of performance. The genre--dominated by women--achieved remarkable popularity. Yet the elocutionists and their art fell into total obscurity during the twentieth century.
Marian Wilson Kimber restores elocution with music to its rightful place in performance history. Gazing through the lenses of gender and genre, Wilson Kimber argues that these female artists transgressed the previous boundaries between private and public domains. Their performances advocated for female agency while also contributing to a new social construction of gender. Elocutionists, proud purveyors of wholesome entertainment, pointedly contrasted their "acceptable" feminine attributes against those of morally suspect actresses. As Wilson Kimber shows, their influence far outlived their heyday. Women, the primary composers of melodramatic compositions, did nothing less than create a tradition that helped shape the history of American music.
"An important resource for those interested in speech and drama, rhetoric, music, and women's studies. Highly recommended."--Choice
"An extraordinarily detailed account of a little known American movement beginning in the last half of the nineteenth century and involving the recitation of poetry (and prose to a lesser extent), mostly by women."--Music Reference Services Quarterly
"Ultimately, Wilson Kimber rewards the reader with the special care she took to illuminate not just the history she details, but many contexts and meanings for the women involved and the ones to come after them."--Nineteenth-Century Music Review
"A fascinating book."--Santa Fe New Mexican
"Beautifully designed. . . . Such a carefully researched and highly readable study of women's recitation is captivating and sorely needed."--American Music
"The Elocutionists adds an important counter narrative to our understanding of women's gendered and musical performances during this period." --Journal of Musicological Research
"An extraordinarily detailed account....Through a great deal of archival research, excellent organization of the text, an incisive and fluent writing style, a clear understanding of the social and artistic scene during the Gilded Age and beyond, and careful documentation, the author has vividly described one important facet of 'women's aspirations to the world of high art.'" --Music Reference Services Quarterly
"Her informative survey of this little-known terrain may be a stimulus to engage both more deeply and more broadly with the connections between signing, speech, music, rhetoric, and society in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries." --Music & Letters
"Kimber's analysis of women's dialect recitations offers valuable insight into women's place on the stage and in broader performing culture." --The Annals of Iowa
"In her fascinating and long-needed study, Wilson Kimber reconstitutes and interprets a set of pervasive but neglected practices that include not only elocution but also melodramatic performance, recitation in combination with music, and the activities of the verse speaking choir. In so doing, she helps to recover an elusive but crucial element of cultural history: the sound of women's lives."--Joan Shelley Rubin, author of Songs of Ourselves: The Uses of Poetry in America
"A century ago, popular literature reached many Americans through the interpretive voices of women, women who--typically barred from the men's world of political oratory--cultivated a performance art in the home, the theater, on the traveling circuit. While revealing the huge variety of music used to accompany spoken narration, Wilson Kimber brings alive again the forgotten art of elocution through a close examination of the 'sentimental keepsakes' and pedagogical traditions it sought to preserve."--Michael V. Pisani, Vassar College

Earle Johnson Fund of the Society for American Music, from the AMS 75 PAYS Endowment of the American Musicological Society, funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W.

On September 10th, NBL Championship player now development coach Mr.Warwick Giddey came to Collingwood College to do a professional basketball clinic with our students.
The day ran very well with all students being able to enhance their basketball skills in layups, dribble and playing games.
Warwick's experience as a coach and player was invaluable and his teachings and guidance to all our students was second to none. The professional manner he conducted himself with was nothing but fantastic, and his words, coming from a former championship winning player were a pleasant surprise to our students who took every word he spoke to heart and did their best.
I would like to thank all students who participated in the clinic and a special mention to Frank Stanley, Craig Bradley and all the staff who let their students attend. It was much appreciated.
Thank you again

text: FRANKFURT: Thomas Schaefer, the finance minister of Germany's Hesse state, has committed suicide apparently after becoming "deeply worried" over how to cope with the economic fallout from the coronavirus, state premier Volker Bouffier said Sunday. Schaefer, 54, was found dead near a railway track on Saturday. The Wiesbaden prosecution's office said they believe he died by suicide. "We are in shock, we are in disbelief and above all we are immensely sad," Bouffier said in a recorded statement.Hesse is home to Germany's financial capital Frankfurt, where major lenders like Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank have their headquarters. The European Central Bank is also located in Frankfurt. A visibly shaken Mr Bouffier recalled that Mr Schaefer, who was Hesse's finance chief for 10 years, had been working "day and night" to help companies and workers deal with the economic impact of the pandemic."Today, we have to assume that he was deeply worried," said Mr Bouffier, a close ally of Chancellor Angela Merkel. "It's precisely during this difficult time that we would have needed someone like him," he added.Popular and well-respected, Mr Schaefer had long been touted as a possible successor to Mr Bouffier.Like Mr Bouffier, Mr Schaefer belonged to Dr Merkel's centre-right CDU party.He leaves behind a wife and two children.

Probe peels back mysteries of the universe
Is remote exploration a form of escapism? NASA has sent spacecraft 12 billion miles from Earth. One scientist says it is like exploring an elephant with a microscope. Why do we bother?
A matter of hours ago, almost precisely a year since it crossed into interstellar space, the probe has sent back a message.
Beyond Jupiter, beyond Neptune, beyond the furthest reaches of the Sun itself, a NASA probe wanders in interstellar darkness.
After completing a 41-year journey and the first ever flybys of Uranus and Neptune, Voyager 2 left our solar system in November 2018. Scientists are amazed that the craft has made it so far.
Our Sun roars through space at 450,000 miles per hour, spiralling around the centre of the Milky Way. As it travels, the star's fiery, volatile surface throws off bursts of solar wind, which form a bubble called the heliosphere.
Scientists have been hoping that these two pin-points could tell us more about the shape of the heliosphere. Some predict that it is round, while others think it is more like a comet, leaving a long tail of solar matter.
The new data from Voyager 2 suggests that the bubble is indeed spherical, but not everyone convinced that we've learned much at all.
"It's kind of like looking at an elephant with a microscope," said research scientist Bill Kurth. "You have no idea what's going on between [the two points]."
Is he right?
Into the void
Of course, say some. These two points are less than a grain of sand in the vast dunes of the heliosphere. We still have no idea how far it stretches out around us, or what bizarre, contrasting conditions may be found in its far reaches. You only have to look at the conflicting Voyager readings to see that.
So unfair! Or so say the fans of space science. Forty-two years after they were launched, the spacecraft are still going strong and exploring the outer reaches of our cosmic neighbourhood. The two spacecraft are now more than 10 billion miles from Earth. What could be more valuable or exciting than that?
You Decide
- Why are we so fascinated by the stars?
- Draw what you imagine the opposite edge of the Universe might look like.
Some People Say...
"For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love."Carl Sagan (1934-1996), US astronomer and cosmologist
What do you think?
- What do we know?
- Voyager 2 was launched by NASA in 1977. After taking the only ever close-up images of Uranus and Neptune, it exited our solar system in November 2018. After a year of waiting, the probe has sent back its first message about its passage.
- What do we not know?
- Exactly how long we will be able to stay in touch with Voyagers 1 and 2. They are projected to drop below critical energy levels in the mid-2020s.

Lulu and the Dog From the Sea by Hilary McKay, illustrated by Priscilla Lamont
When Lulu, her parents, and her cousin, Mellie, spend a week in a cottage by the sea they discover an unexpected guest – the kind that walks on four legs.
A cute story that is designed to appeal to the large number of newer readers that love animals. Each of the characters has personality, and while the plot may be unlikely, the day to day discoveries and frustrations and interactions ring true.
It's not the most spectacular writing, but it's far from stilted, which is all too common in when books for this age group.
When I Grow Up: Sally Ride by AnnMarie Anderson, illustrated by Gerald Kelley
A biography of Sally Ride, written at about third grade level.
Unfortunately, this particular easy reader does all kinds of things that are common to easy readers that I hate, especially nonfiction easy readers.
The first is that it's just not very well done. The sentences make sense, but they aren't memorable either. The illustrations lack elegance and just don't flow. Worse, the practice of using photographs, and then drawing images of Sally Ride into them rather undermines the idea that this is a real person. It's also written in the first person, as if Ride herself was talking to us, despite the fact that Sally Ride was a real person who died recently and wrote words of her own that could be quoted.
It's not so awful that I wouldn't buy it for the library, especially considering the topic, but it's the kind of book that makes me wish we had higher standards for beginning readers.

SAS' grip on analytics safeguards market appeal
SAS' grip on analytics safeguards market appeal
Leadership at SAS are resolute: data without analytics is value yet unrealised. To the US multinational, AI is redefining innovation and turning data into intelligence is the only real path to powerful decision making. It is about knowing how to leverage AI, Internet of Things and cloud which characterise digital transformation in business.
At the company's Analytics Experience in Milan this week, Chief Technology Officer Oliver Schabenberger (who also stepped into the role of COO in January 2018) said SAS currently has 30,8% of the global advanced and predictive analytics market. In January 2018, it secured US$3.24 billion in operating revenue for 2017, up 1.25% year-on-year.
According to the company this was influenced by an increase in customer demand for AI, machine learning, fraud and risk management.
SAS executives believe the business has secured this position because of its continued emphasis on R&D, on its partner ecosystem and meticulous attention to market requirements.
According to Schabenberger, in 2017 the company spent 26% of its revenue on R&D – which he said is roughly double the industry standard.
"We have always been a technology research and innovation focused company," he said, referencing the adaption of the business model in response to tech advances in the 80s and 90s, and specifically how the company developed portable enterprise class code before Java.
User experience remains a core focus of the business and Schabenberger described Africa's digital transformation as "alive and well" and a prime region for analytics.
Close to customers
The COO is adamant one of the main reasons for the company's continued growth is its determination to "be close to customers."
SAS' desire to foster and nurture an open, collaborative approach to innovation has helped to ensure its ability to adapt to the changing needs of the market. Schabenberger raised Hadoop and the high performance computing space and relevant storage layers, as an example of the company's strategic manoeuvring.
Today the focus is on driving data and analysis to build intelligence in organic businesses.
"The successful AI and IOT systems of today and of the future are built on machine learning, optimisation and advanced analytics. Artificial intelligence as we currently know it is a continuation of advanced analytics," explained Schabenberger,
But there are challenges to implementing AI. Schabenberger said 'operationalising' AI is one of the main obstacles.
It is why the company continues to underline the need for business leaders to better understand AI and what the best approach should be to extract the maximum value.
SAS' executives have emphasised that the vastly improved algorithms today offer a stronger opportunity for businesses to reinforce decision making and tap into a resource that is 'created by machines, but crafted by humans".
So while there are areas of progress made in AI and evidence of application (autonomous driving and automated real-time data analysis to radically transform processes in supply chain, retail, manufacturing and logistics, among other areas), the business world is still far away from machines that can reason.
Looking ahead, SAS wants to leverage its expertise in combining technologies and actively pursue opportunities in computer vision and being in a position to facilitate analytics on video streaming. Schabenberger describes this as an exciting new field for the company.

Thanks for your detailed response. Good work.
It seems that you did understand this: so it is the sense of watching, touching, seeing. It is something always there. Another way to find this sense is to ask: "what does it feel like, right now, to be 'me'". It is a case of getting still, and staying with the sense of actually being. Not thinking, but just being. Yes, there are the 5 senses, and there can be an intuitive sense below also, like a compass. But don't take my word for it: I would like you to discover these for yourself.Sit with your eyes closed and feel the 'aliveness' of just being Alex.
I didn't understand what you mean with this "aliveness".
Yes, it is something always there. There are no sensations involved, just a kind of "blankness". It is neutral, just watching, touching, seeing.
Please get still and sit again for 10 minutes, and note down all that comes up in the present moment, in the immediate. Then please let me have a list, even if the words are approximations.
Yes, this is impossible to prove. As you say, 'Alex' comes up only in thought. Tell me if it is any different.Can you prove (in experience) that there is any 'me' there separate from the sensations?
This is impossible to prove.
skhizein+phrenos = split+mind. But we are not splitting the mind. We are taking a sort of sharp sword and splitting between the busy, conceptualising mind, which has thought it was in charge of 'my' life, splitting between this and Life itself, felt in the immediate senses, which just IS with no apology. Yes, 'minding', 'Alex'ing would like to overlook and devalue the immediate Life experience, which is and has always been right under the nose. OF COURSE! Fear of losing the familiar controls. Fear of the unknown. Dealing with concepts rather than with Life directly.This schizophrenia is surprising.
But if LIFE is hunting down this illusion of 'me', what can be done!!? If LIFE is revealing the truth, what can be denied? If it was really always this way, how can the pretence of a mind driving the show, how can that be maintained (without laughing or some other response) once it is starting to be seen through?

The Flames of the Doctrine of Discovery Burns within the NWO*
All African and Asian should take note of what clearly what ushered in the ongoing colonial exploits that affects them to this day… The Doctrine of Discovery also known as Manifest Destiny some take it has a divine right, a belief that those who seek to control everything is affirmed in the control and reorganization of the world's natural resources…
By Vinnie Rotondaro
In 2009, the Episcopal Church repudiated the Doctrine of Discovery.
In 2012, The Unitarian Universalist Association followed suit. Other religious groups—the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), the World Council of Churches, New York Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, the United Methodist church, to name a few—have also repudiated it.
But the Vatican has refused to publicly address Catholicism's role in bringing about the Doctrine of Discovery, or revoke the papal bulls that articulated it. Perhaps, then, it is not surprising to find that most Catholics know almost nothing about it.
Libby Comeaux, a lawyer and co-member of the Loretto Community, recalls the first time the Loretto sisters were confronted by the history. It was January 2012. Comeaux was participating in an environmental conference in the Denver metro area, of which the Loretto community was a sponsor."
"A number of Loretto sisters and members were at the gathering," Comeaux said,
"and one of the themes was the rights of nature, public trust, that sort of thing, as it applied to water. And a law professor from Denver University stood up and started giving us some feedback that was fairly uncomfortable to hear. … He was saying, 'You're talking about rights of nature as if you invented this term, and you're Catholics. What do you think about the Doctrine of Discovery? What are you doing about it?'
"I may have been the only Catholic in the room who knew what he was talking about," she said.
In November 2013, the Loretto community sent a letter to Pope Francis.
The letter called on the pope to "formally and publicly repudiate and rescind the Dum Diversas Bull of 1452, and other related bulls, which grant the Pope's blessing 'to capture, vanquish, and subdue the Saracens, pagans, and other enemies of Christ and put them into perpetual slavery and to take all their possession and their property.' We also call upon the Pope to repudiate and rescind the Inter Caetera Bull of 1493 that granted authority to Spain and Portugal to 'take all lands and possessions' so long as no other Christian ruler had previously claimed them. These bulls instilled the Doctrine of Discovery, the papal sanctioning of Christian enslavement and power over non-Christians."
The letter stated the papacy had done some positive work regarding the rights of Indigenous Peoples—such as Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's supporting the U.N. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and Pope John Paul II's asking of forgiveness for the misdeeds "of the sons and daughter of the church"—but not nearly enough.
(Recently, Pope Francis asked forgiveness in South America "not only for the offenses of the church herself, but also for crimes committed against the Native peoples during the so-called conquest of America.")
The Loretto letter included a message from the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of Religious Friends (Quakers), which stated:
"You [as Pope] have the power and responsibility to do more, by issuing a new papal bull that formally, directly, unequivocally rescinds and revokes the Doctrine of Discovery and the horrible, cruel, un-Christian language in those bulls that denigrates entire peoples with no justification."
Comeaux said the Loretto letter was sent to the Vatican and to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. She said the Loretto community received no response from the Vatican. U.S. bishops' conference president Archbishop Joseph Kurtz sent a note with a "polite thank you for including me," she said.
The sisters have contacted Kurtz, who heads the Louisville, Kentucky, archdiocese, and "he's expressed interest in getting more information," she said, "and we're preparing [that] for him."
Other groups have called on the pope to address the Doctrine of Discovery. In 2014, the Leadership Conference of Women Religious asked the pope to rescind the doctrine. In June 2015, the Romero Institute, a non-profit law and public policy centre focusing on Native American issues (and named after slain Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero), did the same.
From the Native perspective, the Indigenous Law Project's Steven Newcomb, who is Shawnee and Lenape, discussed the issue directly with Vatican officials.
On May 16, 2007, Newcomb and other Native American representatives presented their case to Archbishop Celestino Migliore, now apostolic nuncio to Poland and then permanent observer of the Holy See to the United Nations, in New York City.
On July 16, they received a letter from Migliore informing them that subsequent papal bulls had "abrogated" the ones they wanted revoked—including a bull from 1537 that explicitly forbade enslaving "Indians and all other people who may later be discovered by Christians"—and that there was no need to take further action.
As for the doctrine's more recent interlacing with U.S. law,
"The refutation of this doctrine is therefore now under the competence of American politicians, legislators, lawyers and legal historians," Migliore wrote.
Comeaux, who is familiar with the correspondence, characterized the letter as exercising "some fancy footwork in canon law."
"It reads fairly defensively," she said.
"Indigenous scholars, frankly, don't respect the integrity of the response."
Why the reluctance? Newcomb attributes it to "denial."
"There is a difficulty for the church in reconciling those documents and that language to the teachings that are attributed to Jesus in the Bible," he said.
"How in the heck do you have document after document after document [like the papal bulls in question] and then claim that you have this beneficial enterprise that you've been promoting throughout the world?"
Those documents had consequences, he said.
"It's not just a bunch of words on paper. When you understand the way in which language constitutes reality—that words and their meanings form the very basis of reality—then what form of reality was being constituted by the issuance of these documents?"
Newcomb said the doctrine's effects can be seen in "everything that has devastated our nations and peoples, from the loss of our languages, cultures, spiritual traditions, territory. Every part of our existence has either been completely destroyed or destroyed to an extent, taken over. We as Native peoples have been taken apart at the seams, as it were."
What would happen in the U.S. if the pope were to repudiate the bulls that gave rise to the doctrine?
Probably not much, legally speaking, said Jeffers.
"It would just be a gesture," he said.
"It's so wrapped up in law now, and law has become so divorced from religion, in Western societies at least, that the courts I don't think are really going to care what the Catholic church says."
Within the church and without, however, nearly all involved in the effort to repudiate the doctrine agree that the first step toward healing the wounds it inflicted begins with a basic acknowledgment of its history, and the reality it continues to perpetuate—to pull that reality out of the shadows and into the light of day.
