From the 1990s
My dear friend and mentor Fr. Ted Kennedy gave the eulogy for Mum Shirl Smith at St. Mary's Cathedral last week. His farewell words for this very special lady were most apt " May the Black angels lead her into paradise" The eulogy for his close and precious friend was enriching and made the rest of us not merely sit back and listen but drew us into the sanctuary of our own being. This was not for us to seek comfort and security but to reflect and act upon what we have to offer the world of the deprived and needy in the way that Mum Shirl offered who she was, especially to her own people.
I, like many thousands of Australians, was privileged to have known Mum Shirl. What did she do that effected my life and the many who she met in life? I am not too sure that I can answer this. What did she do that can make an effect on our lives at S.A.C? I guess though that we need to ask a more menacing and threatening question, one that if answered honestly will move us so far out of our comfit zone that we will have difficulty in seeking it again with a conscience. How do we put ourselves into the skin of a black person and see things from their perspective.? You see we are being told that ' the black armband' sentiment is not for us. We are told that the indigenous people should be grateful. But for what? We have only got to look at their plight to realize there are issues still to be dealt with.
When Ted Kennedy spoke in a cathedral that he did not feel at home in and spoke so movingly from the heart it was all to do with the issue of justice in our society. I recall the words of the Russian novelist and poet Boris Pasternak who once wrote "When a great moment knocks on the door of your life, it is no louder than the breathing of your heart, and it is very easy to miss it". We readily hope for these great moments but when they come we can refuse to hear, moreso through deafness of spirit than through spite and meanness. Perhaps we have not prepared ourselves to hear. You know real beauty can be camouflaged in earthiness.
Great moments surround us but in grappling with them we can succumb to the struggle to take them on board. Black is beautiful, but so is white. There is commonality that cuts through differences whether they be culture, colour, religion or whatever else can so easily create distinctions. We in a sense are privileged in that we work within a zone that can enrich our lives and those of our sons. Education and a decent standard of living are a gateways to freedom. But the reverse is also true, they can be the pathway to damnation.
What I observe in our young men is a potential strength, sensitivity and conviction that if utilized can develop in them and in the society of which they are part a much fairer world where economic rationalism and the level playing field mentality will give way to genuine justice based on the gospel principles. There need not be the world of the haves and the have nots. Utopian? For the cynic yes. For the realist no. Education becomes the foundation stone for freedom or subservience. Ultimately everyone makes his or her own choice.
Ennui is very dangerous and destructive. If you have some time observe the interaction between the young people at the Interchange at Chatswood after a school day. Our young are vulnerable.
If they do not have a challenge in life [and I do not mean making the quick dollar or some other narcissistic pursuit] then they will look elsewhere. Drugs in their various forms and alcohol are easy enticements from boredom, at least on a short term basis. Those from inner city and inner west environs who lacked educational opportunities readily sell their wares to all and sundry especially the seemingly more affluent on the North Shore. They have nothing to lose. Drugs are a big problem in the private as well as the public school system on the North Shore. The perception is that this is where money is at. Our young people are not too street wise and that doesn't help, particularly if we are looking for kicks and that quick fix.
What has all this got to do with my introduction? I believe it is crucial to it. Unless our young have a reason to be then they will make other choices that will not give them the satisfaction they long for in their hearts. The heart of the young is rich in creativity and basic honesty. Yet they can so easily have this bankrupted by a system that is concerned with self interest and material gain, based purely on social Darwinism. In the human agenda there is no such thing as survival of the fittest. If there was then we have the slow and inevitable destruction of the zenith point of God's creation, our humanity.
That moving tribute to Mum Shirl is a reminder or even a lesson for us to realize that choices have to be made and that by delaying them we are moving into reverse and acquiescing in a form of institutional violence. And if we are to dwell on those words " may black angels lead you into paradise" we may become aware in our gentle way that the eternal paradise we want for ourselves and our sons is achieved when we too can take on board the reality of people like Mum Shirl and the prophetic words of a Father Ted Kennedy of Redfern. It will be then that those who congregate around the Chatswoods of the North Shore and elsewhere instead of looking from the outside at the superficial will find what is truly enriching in themselves by the way they assess and act upon a world in need of their basic goodness. Perhaps we as their parents will join in their joy of such a discovery.

New Jersey Institute of Technology Selects MediaValet to Streamline Digital Marketing Operations
Vancouver, BC, September 18, 2018--(T-Net)--MediaValet Inc. (TSXV: MVP), a provider of cloud-based digital asset management (DAM) software, announced that the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), a leading public polytechnic university in the United States, has selected MediaValet to manage its marketing and media library and to help streamline its digital marketing operations.
Contributing over $1.74B in annual economic impact to the state of New Jersey, NJIT specializes in STEM education, research, economic development and service. With over 125 undergraduate and graduate degree programs and dozens of community service projects across 6 specialized schools, the university offers a multidisciplinary curriculum with a STEM-intensive approach to education, and conducts approximately $140M in research activity each year.
After working with a third-party consulting group to find a digital asset management system that matched their specific requirements and addressed their various use-cases, NJIT selected MediaValet.
With an intuitive user interface, custom metadata structure and taxonomy, advanced search configurations and streamlined asset upload process, MediaValet was equipped to ensure the solution was universally adopted by all user levels across all 6 schools and NJIT's external partner and stakeholder groups.
"Having recently tried another digital asset management system, we found we were spending more time trying to get assets in and out of the system than was even remotely acceptable. We needed a system that was intuitive for both our users and our admins to use - one that simply worked and made all of our lives easier," stated Oscar Masciandaro at NJIT. "From a product standpoint, MediaValet is easy to use, lightening fast and works extremely well. On top of this, their support team is by far the best we've encountered and they provide unlimited support for all aspects of their product. They truly are an amazing vendor and show how important the human element is when working with technology!"
Today, NJIT has a centrally organized and accessible cloud-based media library with a tagging, indexing and search solution that's customized to meet their unique needs.
"Working with many of the top universities around the world, we intimately understand the critical role that user-experience plays in successfully rolling out a new system across an institution and its multitude of stakeholder groups," stated David MacLaren, Founder and CEO of MediaValet. "User adoption, and everything that affects it, is a major focus for our team and has been key driver to our success."
Continued MacLaren, "We're honored to be working with the New Jersey Institute of Technology and look forward to helping them implement user-friendly ways of using artificial inteligence to improve asset ingestion and discovery."
About MediaValet Inc.
MediaValet stands at the forefront of the enterprise cloud-based digital asset management industry.

Yang Xiaoyun is a 65 year old woman who runs an animal shelter in Tianjin and she traveled 1,500 miles to save 100 dogs from being part of the festival. She also spent $1,000 dollars so that 100 dogs could be spared from this controversial festival.

Still black, white and yellow, but the checker board is now represented in those candies on the front tray and the cake cubes, and the overall symmetry of the design.

|Moduli Spaces of Bundles -- With Some Twists
|Jochen Heinloth
|University of Amsterdam and Member, School of Mathematics
|Monday, November 30
|2:00pm - 3:00pm/S-101
Semisimple Lie groups seem to be very rigid objects. In arithmetic situations the fact that a semisimple group may degenerate into a non-semisimple one in a family is well known. In geometric situations this phenomenon has not been applied that much, although some well known moduli problems can be formulated in a natural way using such families. Pappas and Rapoport (motivated by a local analog - twisted loop groups) suggested studying moduli spaces of bundles related to such degenerations over curves and made a series of conjectures on the geometry of the corresponding moduli spaces of bundles. In this talk I would like to motivate the setup of their conjectures by some explicit examples of degenerations and explain why the flexibility of this general setup can be very useful.

Rev. Dr Dan Owusu Asiamah of the Missionary Church of Christ, has stated that using money to pay tithe is not Biblical. According to him, churches involved in collecting tithes in the form of money are flouting the laws of God.
Rev. Dr Dan Owusu Asiamah gave this reply on Hitz FM's Daybreak Hitz, when he was asked if Jesus Christ paid tithes.
"When you go to the Old Testament, God only demanded the Children of Israel to pay tithe. No other nation was asked to pay it" he said.
The Ghanaian Pastor also stated that when any church asks its members to pay tithe in the form of money, it is a fraudulent move.
"Paying tithe in monetary forms now is fraud" he added.
He supported his answer with a quotation taking from the book of Deuteronomy Chapter 14 verse 24 verse 26. which reads;
"But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice", he quoted
He added;
"Tithe-paying is fraud. Under no circumstance was anyone asked to pay tithe in the Bible. Tithing has to do with foodstuffs. Everything they are doing now is wrong. We speak about corruption and talk about politicians. Corruption begins in the church. The church is actively doing these things. In Deuteronomy 14:25, it tells you, a tithe isn't about money." .
. "There is a difference between offertory and tithing, Malachi chapter 3: 8-10 says tithing has nothing to do with money but offering does. I challenge every clergyman to open a passage that says we should pay tithe on a monthly basis. No apostle asked a Christian to give one-tenth. Now it's more like a law that some churches even collect the tithe before they bury the dead. How do you mark those who pay tithe in church?"

For Immediate Release
David Vance, firstname.lastname@example.com
Common Cause Launches Campaign to Get Presidential Candidate on the Record About Democracy Reforms
17-question survey has already drawn responses from Sanders, Warren, Buttigieg, Booker, Williamson, and Bullock
WASHINGTON - Today, Common Cause is launching a new effort to ensure voters' right to know where presidential candidates stand on practical solutions to the challenges facing our democracy. The Our Democracy 2020 campaign will focus getting every presidential candidate in the Democratic and Republican primaries to respond to a 17-question survey and inject the high priority conversation on the need for democracy reform in the presidential campaign.
"The 2020 presidential election must focus on how we can change our political system so every person has a voice and is truly represented in government," said Karen Hobert Flynn, president of Common Cause. "The 'Our Democracy 2020' campaign is an important grassroots effort to ensure voters know where candidates stand. Every issue that matters to Americans from the pocket book to the polling booth hinges on common sense reforms outlined in this survey. From guaranteeing a right to basic healthcare to ensuring living wages to solving the climate crisis, the imbalance in our democratic system and the power of wealthy special interests is in the way of making real progress on these important issues and Americans need to know how presidential candidates plan to fix it."
Leading up to the formal launch of the campaign, Common Cause reached out to every presidential candidate urging them to respond to the questionnaire. So far, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Cory Booker, Marianne Williamson, and Steve Bullock have already responded, and more candidates are expected to respond to soon.
Never Miss a Beat.
Get our best delivered to your inbox.
The Our Democracy 2020 survey is broken up into three sections:
- Questions on candidate's conduct during the campaigns, including pledging to focus on fueling their campaign with small-dollar donors, releasing ten years of tax returns, and publicly disclosing the campaign's bundlers.
- Questions on where candidates stand on specific policy reforms and legislation, including passing the For the People Act, restoring the Voting Rights Act, ending the Senate's filibuster, and ensuring full voting representation to Washington, DC.
- Questions on what the candidate will do in their first year as president, including signing executive orders on money in politics disclosure and ethics in government and making appointments to the executive agencies and the Department of Justice that are committed to protecting our democracy.
Common Cause's 2018 congressional questionnaire helped elevate democracy as a priority issue for candidates by asking where they stood on a series of solutions, which ultimately led to the U.S. House of Representatives passing the For the People Act (H.R. 1) that deals with ethics in government, voting rights, money in politics, and gerrymandering. The 2020 presidential questionnaire aims to have a similar result in prioritizing democracy reform as key issue in the campaign to result in reform legislation being passed and signed into law in 2021.
The 2020 Our Democracy survey and campaign can be found at ourdemocracy2020.org.

Hi Anonymous,
I don't think there is a causal link between the two although the symptoms often mimic each other. Have you been diagnosed with Lyme and think it may possibily be lupus instead? If this is the case, perhaps a second opinion will help answer that question.
If you have additional questions, please feel free to ask.

Heading into Day 2 of our train trip, we decided to skip our tasty train breakfast because we arrived earlier than scheduled in Winnipeg. We were supposed to arrive in time to give us a good two hours to wander around the city, but because we arrived earlier (and the train will never leave early), we had three hours.
Rather than staying on the train for breakfast, while it was stationary in the Winnipeg train depot, we decided to head out and see if we could find breakfast or brunch somewhere in the city.
And so bright and early, we headed out into Winnipeg. We considered dropping in on a few of our favourite customers, but it was pretty early, and I'm also pretty sure that while they may like buying their stationery from us, they don't actually need to see up appear on their doorsteps.
We wandered around, and being a bit aimless, we didn't stumble across any brunch diners, as I kind of assumed we might.
We did stop by for coffee and pastries at Parlour, which was a nice break from the rattling cups on the train.
And then we stumbled across the perfect park!
Caleb is a big fan of steering wheels, and in a train! It was not only great to get off the train for a walk around, but good for Caleb to get some climbing and digging and sliding around in.
Unfortunately, I received two mosquito bites in very quick succession, so we had to depart. Jon was laughing at me until he got bitten a few minutes later.
And our last stop of the morning – you can always count on a donut shop to be open nice and early.
We hustled back to the train in plenty of time (actually, we had the earliest lunch slot, so we were mainly hustling back to eat lunch on time, rather than making sure the train didn't leave without us). After lunch, we had a nice long nap, a bit of roaming around the train, and then dinner and bed.
Here are a few shots of the inside of our cabin, our home for the trip.
It was a bit tight, so hard to get photos with a lot of perspective, but the idea is that on one side we have the beds (upper and lower berths), and on the other side, we have the sink and toilet, which is closed off by a door.
You can ask to get your lower berth folded up, or your upper berth raised, or both, during the day. This gives you room for two large single seaters. We chose not to do that because we had Caleb napping during the day, so we had our beds out all the time.
They also can just make up the beds for you with fresh sheets, which was really nice the one day they did it when we forgot to leave the sign out on the door to not do anything, although incredibly embarrassing since our cabin was an explosion of toys and clothes and snacks.
Here's our little toilet area. To add to the delight of the trip, there were buttons everywhere to call for an attendant, including a surprise one in the toilet area.
We taped a sheet over the button by the bed, but at one point we heard this ringing over and over, and looked over to discover Caleb pushing the button repeatedly. It's a hard thing to resist for a two year old.
Another hard thing to resist: the tissue paper box right at Caleb height. We use cloth napkins in our home, so this was a real treat that was used with great abandon. Noses that did not need to be blown were attempted with five or six tissues at once, drips were immediately wiped, tissues were tucked into pockets. After our box was emptied, what do you know, it was mysteriously refilled by train elves.
We didn't find it too noisy between the cabins (we couldn't hear our neighbours on either side, although I'm sure they could hear Caleb when he was loud enough), but we could definitely hear people talking and walking through the hallways.
And the biggest disaster of all: I lost my Lamy 2000 4-colour ballpoint pen.
If I was at home, I would mobilize anyone and everyone available to help me look, but of course, that would be unreasonable on a train, and I'm nothing if not reasonable. Mostly to stop me from tearing apart our cabin, Jon said it would turn up at some point, so I should just continue on and it would appear before my eyes. I'll let you guess how that went over.
I hope it's not too much a spoiler to say that we're already in Vancouver!
We're loving the fresh cool air here, and obviously enjoying ourselves a bit too much, as I've been having a hard time keeping up with the blog and Instagram and other things (although of course go figure Jon is having no problem keeping tabs on the shop and answering emails).
We're staying in an Air BnB and enjoying such luxuries as having a TV, using disposable diapers, and an excellent supply of hot water for showering.
More to come on our last days on the train, making it through the Rockies, the view from the Dome Car, and our meals on the train, as well as our arrival into Vancouver and our adventures here in the city.

As time flies by, we want to continually give pause and celebrate the great progress that the Lord continues to grant LIA and its partners.
In just one year in Djibouti, an orphans and vulnerable children program has already grown such deep roots, that we've seen it multiply to include other vulnerable people as well. Since there is no formal Church in this community, LIA has partnered with believers who serve as the leaders among their neighbors. LIA has walked alongside this community to implement an OVC program for 110 youth and their families.
LIA has also helped this community to implement an economic empowerment initiative with 40 women and youth to enable them to support not only themselves, but their families as well. 16 women are already running their own businesses with micro-loans!
Local believers and LIA aspire to see:
+ Children and families receive adequate care and support
+ Families receive education about key issues with long-term effects
+ Improved household income
+ Increased school attendance and decreased drop-out rates
+ Freedom to hope for a better future for this vulnerable community
Let's pray the work of these believers will proclaim God's glory – that the community is transformed physically and spiritually.

USDJPY just confirmed the H&S we were watching. Target = 100.68. There's good horizontal support for it there, as well as the purple channel .236 line.
The daily chart shows the much lower potential.
The Nikkei futures H&S pattern targets 14300 near the purple channel bottom.
BTW, for those who were looking at the transports' divergence as a silver lining — I hate to break it to you. DTX just completed a large Crab Pattern that should smack them back significantly.
Dip buyers beware. This will get worse before it gets any better. Art Cashin just said [watch on CNBC] exactly what we've been saying since Dec 27: the yen's strength (and USDJPY decline) represents a flight to safety — as are lower yields.
Right now, everyone's talking about Argentina and the Ukraine, but watch for the focus to switch to Asia any minute.
Next week is huge from an economic news standpoint. We have the new home sales, durable goods, the FOMC announcement, initial claims, advance GPD, consumer confidence, Michigan sentiment and Chicago PMI. The unemployment report (Wednesday) should be a big boost, as the 1.4 million folks whose benefits Congress just declined to extend will no longer be counted. The unemployment rate should plunge.
Coming up, downside targets.

We all know that food shopping on an empty stomach is a bad idea—but research conducted at the University of Dundee in Scotland suggests that food is actually needed for thought and people might want to avoid making any important decisions about the future when they are hungry.
The study, carried out by Dr. Benjamin Vincent of the university's Psychology Department, found that an unsatisfied appetite significantly altered people's decision-making, making them impatient and more likely to settle for a small reward that arrives sooner than a larger one promised at a later date.
Study participants were asked questions relating to food, money, and other rewards when they were satiated; and again when they had skipped a meal. For three different types of rewards, when hungry, people expressed a stronger preference for smaller hypothetical rewards to be given immediately rather than larger ones that would arrive later.
The researchers noted that if you offer people a reward now or double that reward in the future, they were normally willing to wait for 35 days to double the reward, but when hungry this plummeted to only 3 days.
The work builds on a well-known psychological study where children were offered one marshmallow immediately or two if they were willing to wait 15 minutes. Those children who accepted the initial offering were classed as more impulsive than those who could delay gratification and wait for the larger reward. In the context of the Dundee study, this indicates that hunger makes people more impulsive even when the decisions they are asked to make will do nothing to relieve their hunger.
While it was perhaps unsurprising that hungry people were more likely to settle for smaller food incentives that arrived sooner, the researchers found that being hungry actually changes preferences for rewards entirely unrelated to food.
This indicates that a reluctance to defer gratification may carry over into other kinds of decisions, such as financial and interpersonal ones. Dr. Vincent believes it is important that people know that hunger might affect their preferences in ways they don't necessarily predict.
There is also a danger that people experiencing hunger due to poverty may make decisions that further entrench them in a bad situation. "We found there was a large effect, people's preferences shifted dramatically from the long- to short-term when hungry," he said. "This is an aspect of human behavior which could potentially be exploited by marketers so people need to know their preferences may change when hungry.
"People generally know that when they are hungry they shouldn't really go food shopping because they are more likely to make choices that are either unhealthy or indulgent. Our research suggests this could have an impact on other kinds of decisions as well," said Vincent, adding. "Say you were going to speak with a pensions or mortgage advisor – doing so while hungry might make you care a bit more about immediate gratification at the expense of a potentially more rosy future.
"We wanted to know whether being in a state of hunger had a specific effect on how you make decisions only relating to food or if it had broader effects, and this research suggests decision-making gets more present-focused when people are hungry," said Dr Vincent.
"We hear of children going to school without having had breakfast, many people are on calorie restriction diets, and lots of people fast for religious reasons. Hunger is so common that it is important to understand the non-obvious ways in which our preferences and decisions may be affected by it."

Earlier this past week, reports emerged that erstwhile Florida defensive coordinator Teryl Austin was expected to take the same position at Texas.
While all of the Austin-to-Austin talk has slowed to less than a crawl, there's another name emerging as a possible replacement for Will Muschamp at UT. And, oddly enough, he comes from the "other" UT".
According to a website called FootballRumorMill.com, Tennessee coordinator Justin Wilcox is in serious discussions to replace Muschamp at Texas. The site writes that Wilcox has not yet accepted the job, but a decision is expected soon.
Wilcox had been considered a candidate for Texas A&M's coordinator position before ultimately leaving Boise State for the Volunteers in February.
Under Wilcox in the first year after Monte Kiffin followed his son to USC, the Vols' defense went from 38th to 55th in scoring and from 22nd to 70th in yards allowed. That would likely have more to do with player attrition and the situation in Knoxville than Wilcox's coaching ability.

Many people suffer from gum disease without realizing the impact this can have on their lives. Gum disease is not only one of the main causes of tooth loss, it also impacts your overall health. Gum disease has been linked with conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and stroke in numerous studies. Therefore it is very important that if you think you might be suffering from gum disease to see a specialist about this immediately.
Following symptoms indicate possible gum disease:
- Persistent bad breath
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Bleeding gums while brushing, flossing, or eating hard food
- Loose or separating teeth
- Receding gums
Sometimes symptoms of gum disease are not very noticeably, especially in early stages. Regular checkups with your dentist will help catch gum disease in its early stages.
Gum disease is primarily caused by poor oral hygiene, which allows bacteria in plaque to remain on the teeth and infect the gums. Some other factors can contribute to the development of gum disease such as poor nutrition, smoking, certain medications, and hormonal changes such as those caused by menopause.
Treatment options for gum disease depend on the severity of the gum disease. If still in the early stages, you can improve the health of your gums with good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, avoidance of tobacco products, and regular visits to your dentist. If this still doesn't cure your gum disease, your dentist may recommend surgical treatment.
For more information on gum disease and the services the Austin Oral Surgery team provides, please feel free to contact our Patient Service Team or visit our website.

Stanford study says fossil-fueled cars will vanish in 8 years as big oil collapses
Editorial Rating:
Average Rating: ( 0 votes)
It might seem as if the world is resisting "going green," but a new study published by Stanford University suggests that within eight years, citizens will have no choice but to invest in electric vehicles or similar technologies. This is because the cost of electric vehicles - including cars, buses, and trucks - will ultimately decrease, resulting in the collapse of the petroleum industry. Led by Stanford University economist Tony Seba, the report has caused in spasms of anxiety...

Terence Lewis wants to become an actor
Mumbai: Choreographer Terence Lewis, who attained fame as one of the judges in reality show Dance India Dance (DID), says he wants to become an actor and later on pursue direction.
Terence started his career as a choreographer and is specialised in Indian folk, Neo-classical and contemporary dance forms. He runs a dance institute named 'Terrence Lewis Contemporary Dance Company'.
He choreographed dances in some Bollywood films like 'Lagaan', 'Jhankaar Beats', 'Naach' and others. Apart from this, he also choreographed international stage shows, Indian contemporary performances, mega Bollywood shows and several music videos.
Now after a successful stint as a choreographer, Terence says he wants to try his hand at acting.
"I would like to explore myself as an actor. I have been through dancing for a long time now it is time for me to explore other avenues. As a kid I used to sing, dance, I was into dramatics. I would love to pursue being an actor but not as such as a hero," Terence told reporters here, last evening.
"That is not something I aspire to do. By an actor I mean a nice role, where I am convinced and I feel I can do something different and challenging," he said.
Well, it is the on screen portrayal of characters that lured Terence towards acting, he likes living someone else's life on screen. "I want to become actor not because I want money and become more famous. No I don't want that. It is not that l want stardom, I want to contribute to good cinema," he said.
"I feel when I look at the characters played on screen by actors, I wonder how it would be to think or live that person's life. By being an actor, one can explore various personalities of a human being, be that person, behave and live that person's life and then you are back to your normal life," he added.
As an actor, Terence wants to be part of films that are different and not the typical Bollywood masala ones. "I would like to be part of unparallelled, unconventional but yet fun cinema. Cinema that can be uplifting and not depressing, I will not do any kind of art film that is depressing, which makes you feel horrible. I want to be part of movies that have important and interesting subjects but are not depressing and are rather satirical and funny," he said.

Photography by Vee Speers Words By Billie Jenkins
It is not very often I view a set of photographs like those contained in Vee Speers' 'Bordello' collection. Last I saw of her she was dressing cute little kids up in the guises of adult life. It was unsettling, modern and cold, with beautiful stripped back colour. The black and white images of 'Bordello', currently on display at the The Little Black Gallery, mark a whole new visual narrative. They conquer a style, reproducing the feel of an era and culture, but to such a degree it could never have been that way at that time, rather the sum of the half-truths we understand about that time now. They are beautiful, and they are as lavish and seductive as their subject implies. The images were produced in real Paris Bordello's that retained their original fittings, an interesting little fact to know but almost unrecognisable in the images themselves. One loss caused by this beautiful softness, achieved through a hand-rendered Fresson charcoal, is the detail of this context. I suppose it is this loss, along with the abundance of nude figures, dark shadows and the recognisable which undermine the perfection achieved in the chosen photographic process. It may be the case Vee has triumphed in medium at the loss of story. Karl Lagerfeld writes of the collection 'They show beauty where beauty can be terribly absent', yet I feel the images fall short of this at the last moment. An initial breathlessness at the artistic potency later betrays any trace of beauty in the women or context, reducing it to the power of the artist behind the lens. The exception to this is found in the only image of a woman with darker skin, which offers a truly striking portrait, leaving traces long after viewing. Speer's has once again here proved herself as a leader in photographic technique and offers an immaculately crafted window into Paris Bordello's of the 20's and 30's as we want to remember them.

Take Your Lips to the Next Level•
Posted on August 31 2018
Want fuller looking lips without the needles? Use these makeup tricks to enhance your pout and take your look to the next level!
The most important step to having full lips is moisturizing often. Have a good go-to chapstick or lip balm that you apply routinely (at least twice a day). Keeping your lips hydrated will keep them looking fuller and smooth out fine lines. Avoid products with petroleum jelly because these do not actually hydrate.
Take this a step further and invest in a good lip plumper! Different active ingredients work better for different people. These types of lip glosses come in a number of shades and shine levels. Find one that also doubles as a lip treatment and apply as directed to have a fuller looking pout over time.
Choosing the right color is crucial. Colors that are light, shiny, and glossy make the lips appear fuller, while dark and matte shades make lips appear thinner. Keep this in mind when deciding how you want to craft your look. To find the perfect pink color, just look at the inside of your cheek and match the lipstick to that. It's nature's perfect color palette!
Apply a lighter, shinier shade of your lip color to the middle of your lips and blend. This lightening effect actually highlights the lips and gives them more dimension, leading to a fuller look. Super easy trick!
Once you've chosen your colors, go ahead and select two different lip liners that are a shade apart. Use the darker tone to line the bottom lip and the lighter to line the top lip. This is a discreet way of making lips appear fuller.
Always remember to line your lips after applying your lipstick, ensuring that your lipstick and liner fade together. Don't create a new lip shape with your liner or excessively over-line, this will appear fake and unnatural.
Embolden your look with a little brown eyeshadow. Dust a small amount in a thin line along the outside of the lower lip to create a shadow effect and make your eyeliner pop.
Finish off with concealer around the mouth to make your pout pop!

It was a scorching Friday morning when a good friend picked me up in my hometown, Narra. Our itinerary: Gangub Cave in Bataraza town. Only a few motorists and public utility vehicles were travelling down south that day, so having the road all to ourselves was kind of liberating. The road trip was enjoyable since the southern national highway is almost completely cemented, giving us a smooth ride.
After driving a borrowed motorcycle for three hours, we finally reached Bataraza past 11 a.m. We had our lunch at a restaurant along the national highway in the poblacion before we headed over to the Municipal Hall to meet the municipal tourism officer, Sir Junaide "Jun" Dawili.
All I thought we'd only be accompanied by a local guide, but we're elated and humbled to know it was Sir Jun himself who will tour us. So together with Sir Jun's outdoors-loving staff, we hopped on his Tamaraw FX, with him driving us to Gangub Cave in Barangay Sandoval, some 30 minutes south of the town center.
From the jump-off point along the national highway (left side, if you're travelling to Bgy. Rio Tuba), a dirt road spanning 1.5 kilometer leads visitors to Gangub Cave. When you find yourself passing through the shade of oil palm trees you know you're a few steps away from the information center. There you'll meet longtime local guides, Jaime and his wife, who will have you registered and oriented before you explore the cave.
Out of the nine caves located in the area, Gangub Cave is the only accessible and open to the public. It's situated atop a karst hill surrounded by lowland forests and rolling mountains that are soothing to the eyes. Here you can get sweeping views of the Sulu Sea while taking in the fresh mountain air that cuddles your work-inebriated body. Like me, I know this is the kind of place you've been looking for to escape from the demanding, stressful adult life.
But here's the catch: there are 110 paved stair steps going to the cave itself. And if you're not the athletic type of traveler, I'm sure you'll run out of breath as you ascend. While dragging my feet up, I can't help myself but bathe in my own sweat; good thing I brought a water tumbler that kept me hydrated throughout the tour. (Don't clutch a bottled mineral water when you tour around, please; it's not eco-friendly). The stairway, meanwhile, is flanked with shrubs, gracefully greeting visitors who are excited to see this cave that exudes an aura of mystery and timeless charm.
You'll feel how small you are when you finally stand at the magnificent cave entrance. It's towering, with an elevation of around 39 feet or two to three story-high. On its right side, trailing vines believed to have medicinal properties latch onto rocks. If you're feeling tired, have a quick rest on wooden seats flanking the cave entrance, where you can also hear bats screeching symphonically.
Gangub Cave is also known as Panuyon Cave. "Panuyon" is a native term translated as bat, and it's fitting since Panuyon Cave is home to a colony of bats. I've gone to caves in Puerto Princesa City, Quezon and El Nido, and I hadn't seen as many bats there as Bataraza's Panuyon Cave. I think this is because it's less frequented by tourists, making it an ideal habitat to these shy, nocturnal mammals congregating on the cave's ceiling.
Intricately shaped by nature and time, Gangub Cave boasts of a high dome-like ceiling akin to a cathedral. However, as you enter in, it's not the burnt incense that will greet you but the rancid smell of guano or bat poop instead. If you're unlucky, chances are you'll get droppings on your head. So you know what to do: just look up from time to time!
There are also some holes on the cave's ceiling that allow sunlight to get in, lighting up some portions of the cave floor where massive guano deposits pile up (although a large portion of these had been excavated, placed in sacks and sold as fertilizers by locals). The cave's jagged walls, meanwhile, have varying shades of beige, brownish-orange, moss green and black. To appreciate Gangub Cave's expansive interior better, carry a flashlight with you or wear a headlamp if you have.
And, oh! Didn't I tell you the cave is used as a gathering place for a local Christian church? Yes, you heard it right. At the opening part of the cave, there's a pulpit facing two rows of wooden pews, all covered with plastic sheet blanketed with guano deposits. I wonder how the church goers manage to pay attention to the preacher without being distracted by the squeaking bats and the thought of droppings falling on their heads. (Anyway, Sir Jun told me they have already advised the church to relocate somewhere since the cave is a government property)
From that spot, walk a little bit further, turn right and enter into a chamber where you'll pass through a portion with a low ceiling, requiring you to bend slightly as you tread a path leading to the cave's exit that's perfect for photo opportunities. However, this one's dead end since it overlooks a forested ravine.
My heart was swelling with joy throughout the cave tour. The sad thing, though, was seeing some part of cave walls vandalized long before the destination started to be taken over by the local tourism office. But with its congressional declaration as a tourism destination a few years back, I am hoping the local government will get enough funding needed to better manage and preserve this natural gem.
Bataraza town is a 4.5-hour drive from Puerto Princesa City. It's accessible by public utility vehicles like shuttle van and bus which leave San Jose Terminal almost every hour. You may ride a van bound for Bgy. Rio Tuba, Bataraza (P400) and ask the driver to drop you off in Bgy. Sandoval. For more information and assistance, contact the municipal tourism office at 0918 780 3985 or email them at email@example.com.

A few months ago, French Ready-to-Wear Federation organised its second edition of TRAFFIC, a fair dedicated to fashion services. During two days, the show gathered 80 exhibitors, 50 workshops and 10 forecasting conferences on the theme of Innovation.
The talk was moderated by Lydia Bacrie and featured Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer from Courrèges; Jérôme Bergeret FashionLab director at Dassault; Catherine Gorgé, luxury, art, design and architecture division director of Prodways; Audrey Bergenthal, founder of Euveka and Marlène Ramos-Augereau, business development fashion – luxury from CETI (the European Center for Textile Innovation).
To open the talk, Lydia Bacrie asked Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer about their vision of how innovation inspire them for their collections. Arnaud Vaillant and Sébastien Meyer are the Artistic Directors of Courrèges. Prior to that, they launched their own brand, Coperni. When designing for Courrèges, Vaillant evokes the importance of finding an avant-garde expression, rather than just designing "new floral patterns". In the previous years, the duo has been presenting their creations in keynote formats (inspired by Apple's infamous ones), and sometimes integrating technology into clothing. As for their ads, the duo also found a way to communicate around their products, rather than around intangible stories (as shown below),
Later on, the duo unveiled a campaign around their patterns, which is quite unlikely in fashion advertising. The patterns were not just on the ad, they were downloadable for free on the brand's website, illustrated by 3D animation videos showing how the pieces were to be assembled. As a press release, the brand sent out paper patterns to journalists, fashion historians and fashion school directors. As Vaillant shared during the panel talk, "For our campaigns, we like to tell different stories about our products, not just a beautiful model wearing it, but rather a striking message putting the product at its center. We decided to use our patterns, which is kind of the magic Coca-Cola recipe in fashion, we very much like the idea of open source."
About innovation in fashion, Vaillant shared his envy of making innovative products yet not to be gimmicky. He also mentioned their warming coat, and working with companies like Prodways for 3D printing. On this point, Vaillant shared how they dream of a future where everyone would be able to print their own clothes: "even if the idea is still far away from today, it is now that we shall think and create the solutions that will make it possible tomorrow" he added.
On creativity, his fellow designer Sébastien Meyer underlined how passionating it is to witness the modernisation of the fashion designer's creative process,
"Our stylists are used to working around themes, but we realised it prevented us from making the garment evolve. For two years now, we have been trying to implement new systems, as for example working on product categories 'for this season, a stylist will work only on skirts', which allows us to make this product evolve by working fiercely and exclusively on it, rather than losing attention on other kind of garments at the same time. These are examples of ideas we have and try to innovate. Another time, we divided the garment types in three categories: easy, working and classic. Each stylist had a category and had to work around it, including the product's pricing. Which is too expensive today, we want to democratise fashion while keeping the notion of luxury. For the working category, we wanted clothes that are more than just clothes: for example we had this jacket that could transform into a skirt and then a dress. We are interested by more alive pieces of clothing. And for classic we studied quality, because Courrèges comes from Couture, so there's a patrimoine, there are techniques. How do you create a garment that lasts more than 30 years without one of its thread moving?"
"We are always in a research for wearability." Vaillant added. "Digital and the idea of community is also something we are very interested about: for our last show, we hired no model, we only asked a few friends to come over. Inspiring girls that all have real jobs and are amazing. We asked them to come with their own clothes, adding only one piece of our Courrèges collection. Because we thought that they could associate their own old pair of Levi's, their favorite shirt or whatever with our jacket or dress."
"We wanted to speak for our first show, we think it is important – even if it is hard sometimes to speak in public – because we can tell a garment's story. Which obliges us to design clothes that have a meaning for us, and make it evolve" Meyer concluded.
Their talk was followed by a presentation of the European Center for Textile Innovation (CETI). Marlène Ramos-Augereau told us how the center gathers multi-disciplinary teams working on inventing and producing new materials. The center was created to make the French Northern region's fabulous textile industry "reborn" (as many of the factories were decentralised to lower costs countries in the last decades and were abandonned) and now works with brands on special projects, as for example with Courrèges or Paco Rabanne, being curious about exploring new grounds in fashion.
After Ramos-Augereau, Jérôme Bergeret from Dassault's FashionLab told us about their work on 3D modeling and printing with freshly honored Haute Couture label Julien Fournié; Audrey Bergenthal, founder of Euveka – which tackles the model sizing adaptation issue for couture confection: it is a smart mannequin that reproduces the exact size and morphology, with a measuring system and the detection of the bien aller thanks to sensors.
To close the talk, Catherine Gorgé, luxury, art, design and architecture division director of Prodways, made a keynote on 3D printing and its possibilities for fashion and luxury. Showing us samples of previous projects, Gorgé underpinned the currently available materials and what can be done with it: nylon, polyamide, metal powders or more flexible materials like TPU. Working closely with feather makers, Gorgé shared intricate designs in her presentation. But 3D printing is not just that, it is the possibility to use biobased and biocompatible materials. It is also more and more used in jewelery making, as it is a great solution for prototyping.
"While 3D printing is still quite expensive, with professional machines pricing going from 100K to 500K euros, we are working closely with big brands and luxury groups to democratise it for the future."
We are at @initial_lescreations #Prodways, visiting their #3dprinter manufacture. Here is a 3D printed ring #prototype. On the right, the whole printed structure (supportive parts are required to end up with the right one). ✌ #3Dprinting #fashiontech #jewellery #innovation #sls #additivemanufacturing
Catherine also mentioned 3D printing for sneakers, which has gotten pretty amazing lately :-)! A perfect way to close an inspiring talk, opening the imaginaries around new possibilities offered by innovation.

Exclusion by Other Means: Medical Testing and Chinese Migration to Canada, 1947-1967
The end of the so-called "Chinese Exclusion Era" in Canada (1885-1947) did not lead automatically to open and free migration. In the absence of overtly racebased discriminatory policies, Canadian officials in the early 1950s required migrants from the People's Republic of China to produce an additional set of costly medical exams. This paper explores the impact of this targeted medical discrimination against Chinese migrant families. It investigates the manner in which medical tests were structured and looks specifically at how government officials varyingly understood the uses, and the reliability, of the results over two decades of immigration reform.

Jack, 87, of West Bend was called home to be with our Lord on Friday, January 10, 2020.
Jack was born in Hartford, WI. He was united in marriage to his high school sweetheart, Patricia Riess (Endres) on August 18, 1956. Jack and Patricia celebrated their nuptials again on their 25th & 50th Wedding Anniversaries. Jack met Patricia on the day she was born, because Patricia's grandmother used to daycare for Jack, and Jack happened to be at Patricia's home in Hartford, WI on the day she was born.
Jack earned 2nd Lieutenant in ROTC and served in the Army's National Guard and Reserves, retiring as a Lt. Colonel. He was in the Special Forces in Germany, and was a Pilot. Jack was an educator, teaching from a one room schoolhouse in Kohlsville, WI to retiring in 1992 from his teaching position at West Bend West High School.
Jack was a faithful servant of God, and was a member at Trinity Lutheran Church. He found delight in golfing, fishing, trap shooting and travel. Jack was elated to have been to all fifty states. He enjoyed traveling to Europe, and Hawaii the most, and was the inspiration to organize family reunions, as he loved being with his family. Jack was loved by many and his sense of humor was contagious. He was labeled the social butterfly.
Those Jack leaves behind to cherish his memory include three children, Jeanine (Mike) Hautzinger, Jack (Laura) Riess, and Jayne Endarries (Jason Farrar); five grandchildren, Brennen, Shelby, Nathan, Morgan, and Max; great-grandchild, Mia. He is further survived by other relatives and friends.
In addition to his parents, Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Patricia Riess (Endres); daughter, Joanne (Tom) Zmuda; grandson, David (Tiffany) Zmuda and other close relatives and friends.
Jack's family extend their heartfelt appreciation to the staff at New Prospective, where Jack resided since 2013, and Horizon Homecare and Hospice, for the thoughtful, professional, compassionate support and loving care they all provided.
Myrhum Patten Funeral & Cremation Service has been entrusted with Jack's arrangements.
Burial with military honors will be at the Washington County Memorial Cemetery at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, January 17, 2020.
A Celebration of Life gathering will be held at New Prospective, 2130 Continental Drive, West Bend, WI on Friday, January 17, 2020 from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.
Additional information and guest book may be found at www.myrhum-patten.com.
In lieu of flowers, memorials to Alzheimer's, Cancer Society, or Heart Association is appreciated.
To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Jack D. Riess, please visit our floral store.

Pottering about at home.....
And the sewing by hand, or threading the machine.....you can just imagine. Thank heavens for self threaders! Anyway, I have soup on the stove cooking away. I trawled through the fridge and tossed any and all veg into the pot. It smells like winter. You know that hearty food smell? That's the one. So supper is sorted, for a good few days too.
Tomorrow is another 20% off day at M&S, so providing there is no snow to contend with, I will be there at the crack of dawn, to pick up the few last bits I need. I really do not enjoy shopping much. At all. I try to avoid the shops, especially at this time of the year, but I need to start wrapping things, and M&S has them. So far, I have managed to spend very little this year, and have made small things for my friends, and the family too.
This is the way it is supposed to be. Using my time to make some small gifts which my friends will appreciate. I hope! Christmas is not about getting into debt, especially now. Ever, in fact. I think that even if money was not an issue, the home-made gift from our home to another's is still what is preferable. Simple. The focus then is on the true meaning of Christmas, and not on commercialism.
So I must get on with the finishing off of bits now, and then I will show you the results of my creativity! It is freezing around here, and snow is expected to blanket most of the country tomorrow. Perfect weather for staying home and making stuff.
Now where did I put the Christmas CD???

Can I come over for supper? I'll bring some biscuits, no, not cookies, biscuits...to go with your hearty soup. I'll thread your needles and putter about in your kitchen while you sew. Sounds wonderfully cozy.
I have an eye that starts twitching and won't quit every now and then. Annoying!
Your ideas for a debt-free Christmas are just what I'm thinking this year, too. Okay, it's back to the sewing room for me.

Does this soup contain left over celery, carrots, green onions,tomatoes,green beans and beef stock? No? good! I'll be right over.
Well done for doing the homemade Christmas gifts - I am sure that your creations would be far superior than any commercial this and that.

I'm still here, faithfully reading.
I'll be looking forward to the results of your sewing and making projects.

I'm glad you've decided to stay away from the power tools while you're under the influence, Linds. All prescription pain meds make me loopy too.
I agree with the gift giving and keeping it simpler this year. I think a lot of us are toning it down this Christmas. Still, thankfully since it's my business now, I'm very glad people love hand made gifts.

- Linda said...
What a lovely picture Linds, soup simmering, you creating wonderful presents and snow coming. We just won't think about the side-affects thing.
My favorite kind of gift is a homemade one. It never fails to make me feel loved and appreciated. I can't wait to see what you've been doing.

- Dawn said...
Sounds like the only thing missing is a roaring fire in the fireplace! Sounds wonderful - wish we could sit and visit as the soup brews.
I save all year for Christmas shopping. But there will be nothing frivolous in the buying - everything that everyone needs!

- Diane@Diane's Place said...
Soup sounds good, but I think tonight we're having fried eggs on toast for supper. Maybe soup later in the week....
Good luck with your crafts, and be careful of all your appendages. ;o)
Love and hugs,

- Theresa said...
I feel like I'm right there sitting beside you smelling the delicious soup.
I started a new part-time job today, so now I work 2 jobs, uggghhhh. I know how it is to start something and get distracted. The pressure is intense.
Christmas CD's, I'm not ready for that yet.
- 11:38 pm
- Needled Mom said...
I am trying to imagine a scroll saw with blurry eyes.....hmmm. That does not sound too safe. I can't wait to see what you have created.
I've always loved M&S. I make it a point to hit that store when we are in England. I still have some of the nicest baby gowns from when our kids were little.
The soup sounds delightful. I think I will have to make some tomorrow as it is suppose to cool down a bit.
Enjoy your cozy setting.

- Unknown said...
I love soup and salad too. I could easily become a vegetarian. I took our turkey leftovers and made a big pot of gumbo. It made up three old weather meals to freeze. We a bit left over for JD to enjoy the next night while I whipped up a pan of fried cabbage for me.
I am so ready for winter, hot cups of tea, a fire in the wood stove and snow floating to the ground.
Hugs across the pond for ya sweety.

I've been doing lots of hand sewing too and ugh...my fingers tingle LOL
Can't wait to see what you've made :)

- Crystal said...
You sound just like me!!! I am famous for starting tons of stuff and finishing none of it. DH and I are hugely different on this point. I call it multi-tasking! I'm so looking forward to seeing your creations. Back to the sewing machine I go :))
What's your favourite Christmas CD? I try to buy one each year so I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks!
- 5:02 am
- Joyful Days said...
The soup sounds lovely. I finally got some shopping done! Looking forward to seeing your gifts.

Penn Camera's News & Notes
By Jeff Snyder
I was fortunate enough to spend last weekend at the Churchill Downs Sports Journalism Seminar in Louisville. Besides the incredible line up of instructors: Dave Black, Rick Rickman, Joe McNally, Skip Dickstein, Mike Corrado, Lucas Gilman and Bill Frakes, there was an amazing group of students. The 20 juniors & seniors were so talented and the images they turned out showed us all more and more promise each day. I'd highly recommend taking a look throughout SportsShooter.com and visiting the pages of the student members, you'll be blown away! Take a look at the links here: http://www.sportsshooter.com/news/1174
Nikon's SB800
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY…Canon's EOS1D-Mark II's have begun to arrive. I'd like to thank all of you for being so patient during the long period that we've ALL been waiting. As you can imagine, I've been inundated with Instant Messages, Emails and phone calls by so many customers, wondering where their cameras are. Believe me when I tell you, that we want you to have them, as badly as you want them. Many of you are probably going to be getting a call during the 2nd round of deliveries. Keep your fingers crossed that it'll be sooner than later. Canon's rebate program in effect at this time too on many lenses, binoculars and flashes…
Nikon's D2H's are in stock, and continue to sell everyday. The D70, Nikon's entry level digital SLR has been getting rave reviews by our customer. This is a great backup body for the professional as well as beginner. Have you seen the 10.5 f2.8 G/AF lens? Full frame fish-eye on a digital body, and with Nikon Capture 4 software, with one click of a button, all of the curved lines can be straightened out…It's something to see! Nikon's SB800 strobe is a tool that every Nikon owner should look twice at. Wireless remote TTL flash, with up to 100's of strobes, all controlled from the main on camera unit. Just think of the possibilities! Joe McNally led a breakout session last weekend, and demonstrated how simple it really is. With the help of a new Bogen clamp, called the "Justin Clamp", you can mount SB800's just about anywhere. I'll have some of the new clamps very soon, with pricing, so contact me if you're interested.
With the help of a new Bogen clamp, called the "Justin Clamp", you can mount SB800's just about anywhere.
Nikon's Cash Back Rebate program is in effect through June 30th, so if you're in the market for some new lenses or a D100, think good and hard, because you can save hundred's of dollars…
We have the complete line-up of Lowepro cases, and Tamrac cases in stock for immediate shipment. From small pouches to the rolling backpacks and rolling equipment cases available. If you must have an airline acceptable carry on, we can look that up for you, so you can carry on as much gear as possible!
Epson's New R800& R300 have arrived….and they're producing mind boggling images….
While we await the delivery of Lexar's new 80X series, we have super specials on the current 40X cards. Call or email me for pricing….
If you have any questions at all on gear…lighting…printers…Please feel free to contact either myself, or anyone in our professional sales department…all at the 800# below. We're there to help!
It's so great to meet so many of you in my travels…Look for me at the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes in the coming weeks…If you see me, make sure to say "Hi…"
