Posted: 4/16/18 at 2:45pm. Article by Patrick Clark.
Patrick Clark currently serves as a BGAV Venturer in Vienna, Austria, ministering especially with refugees. The following article is taken from his most recent newsletter.
Since January, several Farsi have been granted asylum. This has been a major answer to our prayers as the new government has been making it increasingly difficult for immigrants to receive asylum in Austria. One of the interesting outcomes of this crackdown is that more of our Farsi sisters and brothers are given opportunity to share their testimony about their faith and walk with Jesus Christ.
In today's political climate, less than 30% of the people applying for asylum are getting a positive result in the first round at the Government Office for Immigration and Asylum. The case is then transferred to the Government Appeals and Oversights Court where they are interviewed by a judge to determine whether they meet the requirements for asylum. Because they are seeking protection from religious persecution in their home country, the judge asks them questions to evaluate the authenticity of their faith. This usually consists of questions like: name the Ten Commandments, name the four Gospels, name the disciple betrayed Jesus, etc. They are then asked how they came to know about Christianity and why they became Christian.
Recently I had the privilege of attending such an interview where my Farsi brother shared his faith journey of being a nominal Muslim who became an atheist, then agnostic, while attending university in Romania. After he fled to Austria, he met a member of our church in his camp who invited him to check out our Farsi service. He told the judge he started attending our worship services in 2015 and began to grow in his knowledge and faith about Jesus. He became convicted that Jesus Christ died for his sins and is the source of all truth and life. The judge was so impressed by his genuine faith that she granted my brother asylum within 45 minutes, as opposed to three or four hours.
Several weeks ago I started leading the 'baptism class' with Ehsan, another member of the Farsi congregation. This is the last class that new members go through before they are eligible to be baptized (over 150 baptized in the last two years). We spent two days with the new group and asked them to share how Jesus is at work in their lives.
As I listened to each person, I was humbled and inspired by the difference Christ makes in small and significant ways. Many of them said "I gave my life to Jesus." This gave us an opportunity to talk more about the significance of this phrase; for me it is the privilege of teaching Muslims about Christ, and for them it is the decision to convert at great risk.
In other news, Projekt:Vienna (our apprenticeship program) began its second semester at the end of March. We, the instructors and leaders, have learned a lot in the first six months of this new project and continue to make adjustments along the way. My role is to lead some of the praxis elements with the interns. In the coming weeks, I will start teaching the interns "Lifeshapes," a discipleship process that uses simple geometric shapes to understand the core teachings of Jesus (from the book, Building a Discipleship Culture). I have found this to be a helpful resource to help people discern what God is saying and what they are to do in response. This also provides a common language that is easy to remember and share with others.
Prayer Requests
- Please pray for favor in the midst of the current Austrian government stance against refugees. It now takes about a year for the first interview to occur and additional 9-12 months for the second interview. As a result, there is considerable anxiety among our Farsi sisters and brothers, and there are additional burdens on our team as we serve and care for them.
- For the leaders and interns associated with Projekt: Gemeinde and Projekt:Vienna. May we continue to discern the will of God so we can further the Kingdom work in Vienna and Austria through missional communities.
- I have been given the honor of making a presentation and coordinating with other presenters about 'Diaspora Missiology' to the Mission Commission at the Baptist World Alliance meeting in July (thank you Dr. Jim Baucom). Please pray as I connect with those who will also make presentations and for those who will attend the meeting.
- The KMI Team from Virginia will arrive mid-May to be immersed in our community for 10 days. Prayers for safety, kairos moments, and great fellowship are appreciated.
- Our team will travel to Bulgaria in June for the European Baptist Federation Conference. Pray for connections and conversations.
- We were informed recently that one of our neighbors in the Donauhof has filed a complaint against us for using the building while it's still a construction site. We've since learned that this person is one who had to buy the building several years ago and is using this to show their displeasure. Unfortunately, the government of Austria doesn't care why a complaint is filed—only if it's justified. What that means for us is that we can no longer use the main ballroom until several items are completed—most notably new emergency lighting and exit doors. If all goes well, we should have that done in the next couple months. Please pray that all goes according to schedule and for improved relations with our neighbor.
I am grateful for your prayer and financial support and appreciate all you have done and will continue to do in that regard for my work in Austria. If you, or someone you know, would like to make a financial donation for my support the link is: https://bgav.org/donations/venturer-ministry-austria/
Please know that I pray daily for you and give God thanks for who you are and what you mean to me.
Until the next newsletter, I pray viele segnungen (many blessings) over you,

Representatives of ufological organizations reported that the US military got a spaceship that previously belonged to aliens. There are witnesses that an aircraft of extraterrestrial origin was transported using a van.
This incident occurred on one of the tracks in the US state of Nevada. A strange apparatus, very similar to the classic "flying saucer", immediately attracted the attention of local residents, some of whom took photographs and videos. It is assumed that the spacecraft was transported to the legendary base called "Zone-51", which is believed to be fraught with many dark secrets. Ufologists and former employees of federal departments assure that the facility contains a whole research center, where they are engaged in developments based on alien technologies. There is evidence that there are several alien ships, as well as the bodies of the aliens themselves who died during the crash.
Indeed, the object in the photographs is very similar to a "flying saucer", but most Internet users cannot agree with the opinion that it is true. The fact is that this kind of thing is hidden and guarded by military structures very seriously, and it would be unlikely that they would have allowed the transport of an alien spacecraft in such a primitive way, putting it on public display.

I thought I was going to go bald! Seriously!
I was terrified of washing my hair or even brushing it, because handfuls of hair were falling out every time.
I would get out of bed in the morning and see a ball of hair on my pillow! I had no idea what was going on and how to put an end to it before it was too late.
I had tons of long and thick hair in my teens and at age 30 I was left with only a thin layer!
When hair loss strikes, it is definitely a symptom that raises concern. After all it is something hard to hide.
The amazing news is that my hair doesn't fall out anymore! I probably only see 4 or 5 strands in my hairbrush, and none on my pillow. And, I am even seeing new strands growing which I am really ecstatic about.
Hair loss is a topic very near and dear to me, because I struggled with it for over 15 years, and I was really terrified about it.
In this post I will share with you exactly what was causing my hair loss and how I brought it to a halt.
If you're experiencing hair loss, whether it has just begun or has been going on for awhile, do not delay treatment. Hair loss is a sign of a deeper imbalance and left unchecked, you may develop other symptoms or never see the return of your beautiful hair.
Hair loss has several different causes, and none of them has anything to do with your hair itself.
You can put on all the treatments, conditioners, and masks, but if your hair doesn't get the nutrients it needs from within,to grow new hair and keep your hair healthy, you will just be spending your money on expensive treatments for no reason.
The health of your hair is a reflection of your internal health, and most issues with hair have to be addressed from within.
Let's look at some common causes of hair loss:
One of the biggest culprits for hair loss is medications. Let me share a bit of my story in this regard:
I was treated for under active thyroid for several years. I saw several different specialists and they all told me that I was going to be on thyroid medication for the rest of my life,and that my hair loss was just an effect of my under active thyroid.
Luckily they were wrong!, because I have been medication free for 2 years and my hair is coming back!
But before I get sidetracked talking about how i walked away from my doctor's office and never came back (maybe i will write another post about that). As it turned out, my thyroid medication dose was too high! I had become hyperthyroid! And that was causing my hair to fall out by the handful!
It took me many years to figure that out, but I am sure glad I did!
Now, I know you might not be on thyroid medication, but maybe you are taking other pharmaceutical drugs, and since it is known that all drugs block metabolic processes, it is a good idea to address your health issues from the root so that you don't have to deal with the side effects of most medications.
When your body thinks it is running from a lion on a regular basis because of your lifestyle, a poor diet, a specific health condition, a high stress job, dysfunctional relationship, etc. You are spending precious nutrients in dealing with excess stress, and your body doesn't have the resources available to build hair.
Hair is metabolically expensive, which means it takes a lot of resources and energy to build hair. If your resources are scarce, your body doesn't think it is a priority to build hair, and so your hair falls out, gets dull and dry.
Some important nutrients to watch out for deficiencies are: Iron, B vitamins and Omega 3's fatty acids.
Regardless of the cause, there are lots of things you can do to restore the health of your hair and even grow new hair.
If you look at any other article on hair loss, you might find a long list of causes related to hormonal imbalances such as: cortisol imbalance, thyroid hormone imbalance, testosterone, progesterone and estrogen imbalance, DHEA, and blood sugar imbalances.
You will also find a long list of tests that you can do to find those imbalances.
However, if we recognize that our body is designed to work with minimal effort from our part- meaning: we don't have to tell our heart to pump blood or tell our stomach to break down the food we eat. Do we really have to go into such level of detail to find exactly which hormone is low or high, and try to "fix" us that way?
…..I'm not totally convinced about that approach. Specially taking into consideration that a blood test is just a snapshot of what is circulating in your body in that moment, but it could be very different the next day!
The body constantly adapts to it's environment, and while testing is appropriate in some instances, when it comes to hair loss, I am not sure you necessarily have to worry about having multiple tests done.
If you have a hormonal imbalance, I am almost positive that it didn't just happen to you out of the blue. Likely, your diet and lifestyle played a big role.
And, if the way your body is now is consequence of what you have been doing in the past, then changing what you have been doing can bring your body back to balance.
We know that Stress is the biggest epidemic in our society and the cause of most illnesses and diseases.
When I say Stress, I mean: Physical, Emotional, Environmental, Chemical.
So, If you are struggling with hair loss, I challenge you to take a close look at your life and identify all the ways your body is under stress:
- Diet: poor quality, under eating, overeating, restrictive, low calorie, eat too fast, lack of pleasure, tracking and counting calories or nutrients.
- Exercise: over training, sedentary life, exercising for fear of gaining weight.
- Work: difficult boss, frustration, long hours, frequent travel, dissatisfaction
- Relationships: dysfunctional marriage, abusive relationships, lack of social interaction, dysfunctional family, lack of self-love, etc.
- Health: vaccines, inflammation, chronic pain, frequent infections, digestive problems, difficult pregnancies, painful periods, surgery, being overweight, etc.
- Environment: Air quality, chemicals and pollutants in the air and water.
- Lifestyle: lack of "me" time, lack of rest, lack of time in nature, extremely busy lifestyle, frequent travel overseas, perfectionist personality, etc.
Address you main stressors, commit to reduce ,or even better ,eradicate your stress sources, while you focus on taking care of yourself and nurturing yourself, incorporating joy and laughter into your life. Then come and tell us how much hair you are losing?
While you work on reducing your stressors, here are other strategies that have work for me and that I recommend to clients who struggle with hair loss.
1.- Eat enough food. Fats, proteins, carbs, as well as vitamins and minerals are needed to provide your body with what it needs for proper functioning. If you are on a strict diet or very low carb diet it might not be sitting well for you.
2. Focus on healing your digestive system. If you are not absorbing nutrients correctly, it doesn't matter how healthy and organic your diet is, it is just going into the drain. Iron deficiency- very common in women could be a cause of hair loss. Stomach acid is necessary for iron absorption.
- To have your nervous system working correctly. Your nervous system controls every organ in your body. Getting regular chiropractic adjustments can fix digestive issues and save your life, like it did mine!
- You also need enzymes. Your body is supposed to produce enough enzymes but when things are not optimal it is a good idea to take additional enzymes for a period of time, while you work on healing, and fixing the root cause
- Bile will help you digest fats and get them into your system, If your liver is congested, your might not be producing enough bile.
- Healthy Gut Flora. We know that the research on the importance of gut bacteria is quite compelling and there is much more to be discovered about the role of bacteria in our body. Consuming fermented foods like sauerkraut, is a great way to increase beneficial bacteria in your gut.
- Stomach acid. The acid in your stomach can break down anything! It is very powerful, but if you deal with tons of stress and your digestion is off, you are probably not producing enough stomach acid to break down proteins into usable amino acids that your body can use, and to extract minerals from the food you eat.
Also, if you take certain medications like Nexium or any other kind of acid blockers or antacids, you are not breaking proteins well and not absorbing minerals from your diet.
If you are in childbearing years, you might need to supplement with Iron, but before you do, speak with your health practitioner and have your levels checked.
The next 3 are super easy tricks that you can start now. They work!
3. Essential Oils did miracles for my hair.
I tried rosemary, lavender, and peppermint. They all act in different ways to prevent hair loss and promote the growth of new hair. These oils penetrate the scalp and even though you apply them topically, they work internally.
Method: you can use a carrier oil such as castor oil or even olive oil, mix it with the essential oils and massage on your scalp preferable after washing your hair and at night before bed. I make a mixture ahead of time and put in in jar or spray bottle. The amount is approximately 5-6 drops of essential oil for every tablespoon of oil.
I noticed less hair falling out just a few weeks after starting to use them. All these oils can also help you relax your nervous system and sleep better.
4. Try the inversion method.
This is great for increasing blood flow to your scalp and hair follicles. It consists of basically massaging your scalp while doing a "forward fold" with your head hanging. You can do it standing or seating. Use the oils mentioned above to do the massage.
5. Wash your hair less, and brush it every night.
When you wash your hair too frequently you get rid of the natural oils on your scalp, which are necessary for the health of your hair. As you brush your hair you are spreading those naturally produced oils on your hair strands.
As for washing, the ideal frequency will largely depend on where you live, and the specific characteristics of your hair, but if you wash it every day and your hair is falling out, try washing it less.
I wash my hair once or twice a week because my scalp is dry and I live in a part of the world where winters are very cold and dry, so I don't need to wash as often.
What you use for washing your hair is also important. Even the organic, "natural" brands have tons of ingredients. I would recommend picking one with the least ingredients and chemicals possible.
You can also add a few drops of the lavender, peppermint or rosemary oil to your shampoo.
Wrapping it all up
I know how devastating losing your hair can be…..I really do!
But before you get confused trying to figure out which hormones are out of balance, and think that you might need to get a bunch of tests done, you can start by doing something a bit more intuitive and within your reach.
You can focus on bringing your overall health into a balance that works for your body. Like I mentioned earlier, looking at the health of your digestive system is one, the quality and quantity of your diet and your main stressors are great places to start.
I know it sounds easier than it is, specially if you are trying to do this on your own. I know from having dealt with multiple health issues, that the more support you have the better.

When dyou want us there? asked Iris via email.
Round about noon, I said, thinking that would give me plenty of time to:
Mail a get-well card to a friend in Pompano Beach, FL, vacuum, including all the crumbs on my red living room couch, put away my clothes scattered throughout the living room, make a Welcome sign and affix to outside door, clean off the phenomenally messy kitchen table, set the table, have the appetizers ready.
Every time I'd sit down on couch, thinking I'd finished everything, I'd remember something else, like taking down the wine glasses for wine I bot yesterday at the Giant.
Finally, I sat down to watch Person of Interest, an exciting CBS Show I watch on Netflix
and I looked out the door and there they were coming up my sidewalk.
They looked surreal! It felt as if they were coming out of my movie.
I blinked my eyes, shut off the laptop, and went out to meet them.
Iris and I have been in touch on Facebook. Art, her second husband, I'd never met before.
Scott, who arrived quite early, after having slept a bit, had given me brown rice, which we put beneath the chili.
I'd grated an entire package of Cabot sharp cheddar which we sprinkled over the hot chili.
Scott just came over before walking to the train station.
You told me the chili was delicious, and it really was!
Managed to find the pink water pitcher - I have so many cupboards, Mrs Hubbard - I don't know what to put in em.
A Sleepwalker's Guide to Dancing by Mira Jacob
and some fantastic coffee made by Boston's Best
not to mention Stash White Tea, which I'm brewing now. Don't tell Iris but it smells like Vicks Vapo-Rub, but I think it will taste better.
Hold on... it's cooling now..... will let you know.... very very nice! a fruity bouquet! Thanks, Isis!
Your women friends, said Scott, are really talkative. What wonderful stories she told... after her first husband Kim Abbot died, she wanted to join a Widow/Widowers Group. The guy said it was too soon.
Her rebuttal? Okay, if you don't let me in I'll start a group of my own the same time yours meets and it'll be free for everyone.
They let her in.
How did she meet Art, who is a cardiac nurse. Stay tuned.
Note: Whenever you don't have matching glasses, here's what you do. Give everyone a different glass. This fish glass is an old one of Mom's. From our days on Glenmore Road in Shaker Heights.
They've been married 20 years now. They met from a spunky personal ad Iris put in the paper. She got dozens of responses, met a couple of them at the now-defunct Robertson's Ice Cream Shop, but no one would do.
She received an excellent response from Art, tossed it into the trash, and then retrieved it.
This white tea is really tasty, a term Bernice, her mom/law used. The mom was a beauty in her younger years. Art shared photos on his i Phone.
Iris also told us about visiting a medium who said many different spirits were vying to be heard. I'd wrin a story about psychic medium Theresa Roba for the Bucks County Herald.
Good. The earth is parched. The CT license plate is beautiful.... blue
See you on your Coach Iris website.... you'll wanna take a look at this... you can sign up for a free consultation.... hmmm, maybe I should do dat!
Now, I'm gonna write a very quick poem here, after I pour meself some more tea
The construction workers, clad in red shirts, have left for the day
the attic is being transformed into a master bedroom
they talk amongst themselves in the morning, kindly, as my
feet patter by, we nod, and down the hill I go
aching to find out what thoughts will arrive
Where do they come from?
Can they be seen by the man on the moon
or heard by the Almighty?
Today is Succos, the holiday of the harvest,
In the middle of the road, I give thanks
for the black-eyed peas in the chili I made
and hope that the black man someday
will be free.

Highs and Lows - about diabetes - published - Poem: Bernice and the Lunar Eclipse
The Chicago-based lit mag Hektoen International just posted my creative nonfiction piece "Highs and Lows" about my kidney transplant and subsequent acquisition of insulin-dependent diabetes, due to my antirejection meds, Prograf and prednisone.
They asked me to substantially shorten it, which I did, after brewing a cup of coffee.
You know what, Dear Reader?
I kid you not. A good cup of coffee is just about my favorite thing in the world.
Read my true story here.
You may think I'm on a roll having a few of my stories - and "Nazi Waters" at last - published. Indeed, I am very grateful and proud they've been published.
Yet, some of my best work has yet to be published.
My Jenny - On Good Days I Remember My Name - Uncle Benny's Stradivarius - have yet to find a home.
Just spoke to my friend Carolyn Constable who told me to send my eye doctor the poem "Seven Minutes in Hell" about my experience in the visual field machine.
"Visual field machine." It took me ages to remember that term. Kept getting it confused with "field of vision."
Oh no! I hope I don't forget it again.
This morning I emailed in my entries to Pentimento magazine, HQ'd in Lambertville, NJ, just across the Delaware River from New Hope.
My true story is called The Wrath of Diabetes. I submitted three poems, one of which I wrote this morning in about 45 minutes. It's printed below and is totally fanciful about last nite's lunar eclipse which really could not, in totality, be seen here on Cowbell Road.

Ninety-three now, her legs are gone,
so Steve slings her over his back
and carries her into his black
Cadillac with that gorgeous
emblem like the queen's jewels
that proclaims I'm rich, and
settles her, as she laughs softly,
and thinks, What fun it is being carried by
a handsome muscular man,
reminding her of that wanderlust husband
of hers she lost a thousand years ago.
I get in the back
smelling the still-new interior
leather – oh no! a cow was
sacrificed – and gaze out
the front window. My sister
Ellen, Mom's caretaker, slides
in next to me, still munching a brownie.
We drive to Woodlawn School
the highest point in the county
and park on the empty street.
It's well before midnight and
a few people stand on their
sidewalks. Some have flashlights
that pass over their pajama-
clad children.
"Bernice," says Stevie. "The
moon's up there," he points.
"I'm not blind," says Mom, with
her flashing new front teeth
- expensive as real pearls -
the new dentist drilled in.
Everyone who sees the lunar
eclipse makes a Rorschach
of it. I see it as a round black head
with white ribbons curling all around.
"Let me out," says Mom.
We look at one another.
"Do it!" I say to Steve and
we all exit onto the silent street.
He opens the huge heavy
door and we stand Mom
up on the sidewalk, a rag
doll, needing support.
"Harold!" she points at the
moon. "Harold, wait for me.
You're the only man I ever
"Daddy," I think. Yes, he was
a good man. And, were he still
among us, instead of rotting
underground in Cleveland, he
would have driven us here. Wonder
where his 1964 Country Squire
Station Wagon has gone.

Writers' Group meets at Beatriz's Condo - Special guests Lorraine and Fran Bareikis Pulli - Poem: Barbara's Notecards
C'mon in. We have appetizers, seltzer water, and a blue cake Donna Krause made.
Oh, and we'll also read our latest work. Almost forgot about dat.
Newcomers were surprised about her lovely place.
Prophet Isaiah.
Steve is a volunteer at Rock Ministries in the Kensington section of Philly. This once beautiful neighborhood has gone downhill and now has lots of crime and poverty.
Rock has 'safe houses' on every block. Steve enjoys telling the gospel to the down and out in the neighborhood, under the El.
No no no! He was a social worker, who She took to task for his lack of compassion.
Who is Judith from the Bible?
Martha, our bible scholar, as is Murphy, said that in the Apocrypha ... well, let's hear it from Wiki
The story revolves around Judith, a daring and beautiful widow, who is upset with her Jewish countrymen for not trusting God to deliver them from their foreign conquerors. She goes with her loyal maid to the camp of the enemy general, Holofernes, with whom she slowly ingratiates herself, promising him information on the Israelites. Gaining his trust, she is allowed access to his tent one night as he lies in a drunken stupor. She decapitates him, then takes his head back to her fearful countrymen. The Assyrians, having lost their leader, disperse, and Israel is saved. Though she is courted by many, Judith remains unmarried for the rest of her life.
Judith with the head of Holofernes
What other biblical characters were beheaded? Dozens. Bring me the head of John the Baptist said Salome.
His newest poem Where Have You Been Sky Saxon, written in his usual couplet form, talked about sightings of this dead rock musician who was the lead singer of Seeds.... he was found under a manhole cover and near a dirty river in Las Vegas.
The poem was a delightful mishmash of images. Let's listen to the late Sky Saxon, whose real name was Richard Elvern Marsh, born in Salt Lake City, Utah
He died at age 71 of an untreated infection that spread through his body. Sounds a bit like Jim Henson, doesn't it?
Listen to his famous song Pushin Too Hard. Don't mind if I do, Ruthie!
Conflict of interest! Ruthie is listening to the Blues Show on WXPN. The Tennessee Workhouse Blues by Jenny Pope. You can imagine what that's about!
I didn't get a good pix of Rem, who wore a Phillies' baseball cap.
Linda Barrett.
Fran was shocked at the depth of Linda's writing. Her short story Lucy's Quest was about a brilliant young woman who was terrified by a woman named Klemmer who no one but Lucy could see. She was so terrified she jumped into Ada's backyard pool from her bedroom. Linda was describing our friend Ada who has a pool in which I swam thother night.
As someone commented in the group, Klemmer (can't remember her first name) was embued with red-hot anger against Lucy. Linda submitted it to a journal where Allan Heller has been published. Night to Dawn.
Martha wrote The Grand Cleanout, a poem about throwing things away, how difficult it is, so you put it in three piles, one never to be seen again. But, then again, maybe she'll keep it after all.
Marf told us that when she goes home, her husband David will have a cup of tea ready for her.
Mon dieu! What a guy.
Donna presented Down and Dirty Vacation, an unforgettably horrible trip to Wildwood. The bed in their room slanted downward like a slope on Mount Everest.
Lorraine was kind enough to help Beatriz out. Wouldn't that be great if I could say, "Lorraine, would you mind getting me a glass of water?"
Fran read two poems she wrote in the 1970s. She no longer writes poetry, is not interested, but enjoys photography. Her marvelous photos appear on Facebook.
When I goggled her name, this photo came up! Brava
Wonder if she's ever seen the pix by my friend Carl Yeager
She read Amber Roots which she wrote after taking a trip to her native Lithuania, though she's a first-generation American. Her poem is impossible to describe. It took our breath away. Incredibly great lines - :Baltic rain" -working up to a crescendo at the end. It ended "We remember."
Amber, used in jewelry making, is exported from Lithuania, tho many international companies have branches in this Baltic country.
Monet's Lavender was the second poem she shared with us.
Last nite I attended the Coffee House, where the coffee is always hot and strong. Two people were of great interest. I wrote a poem about Barbara and short story based on meeting a 66-yo man named Rich.
Rich, I said. I need to write a story for my writers' group tomro. I'd like it to be like a film noir with lots of sex, violence and seedy characters.
Can you be thinking about it, while the band plays.
At intermission he told me a terrific story about his wife leaving him. They had marriage counseling, by which time it was too late.
What didn't she like about you, I asked.
She said I was controlling... I can't remember the other thing. Truly I was amazed he told me this. I did mention I was a therapist.
I wrote it up very quickly before 1:15 when it was time to leave for B's. I drove Judy L since I know where B lives.
I called it Jack. The weird thing is that I was in bed at about 7 am and I had the entire story in mind, was real happy about it, then fell asleep, and it had vanished.
Neither Rich nor his ex-wife has remarried. Wish I were awake enuf - yawn! - to tell you his story.
"Look up at the sky at the beautiful clouds," I said.
One little girl, Bella, said "Hi Ruth." That's very advanced for a 5-yr-old.
As I walked into the
crowded basement
of the cabaret I spotted
her, a woman my age
with honey-blond hair
and a name tag around
her barely wrinkled neck
"Barbara Rosenzweig," a
Jew like me, peddling her
watercolors and notecards.
Now that I'm no longer young
and the pet of various one-
night stands, I seek excitement
in various new ways, the hummingbird
levitating, the darting bats at
dusk, the algae in my birdbath
and Barbara's notecards.
For fifteen dollars I buy Seashells
from the Jersey Shore. A pack of
five, wrapped like my new Animals
of the World calendar in cellophane.
The coffee here is good, I tell her.
May I get you a cup? Her husband
Aaron fetches a hot one as we
reminisce about our families
in the Holocaust. Her people
escaped Russia in 1924. Well
before Hitler, I say.
The Pograms, she counters.
I am sixty-nine,
she is a month older,
and somehow we learn my
son Dan was her math and science
student in middle school.
Quite a boy, her blue eyes sparkle.
I rock with joy.
You look like him! she smiles.
Is that when I decide to splurge
on the notecards? Once my
Fallingwater cards were the
love of my life, but nolo contendere,
the seashells beat all.
Remember the first time you were
at the beach, sand, unlike the prickly
grass and clover back home, sand
crunchy underfoot, can you feel
it, sticking like paste, and
foul on the tongue, gritty on
your teeth?
I held a conch up to my ear
in Barbados,
the sound of the sea leaking
through, along with the
slow hiss of the beginning
of the universe, whose surface
I tred upon lightly,
lightly and gently
so as not to
fall in.

Swim and Dine at The Fabulous Fleishers - My Home Made Cards - Poem: Seven Minutes of Hell
While there, I took the Visual Field Test. When Michele came in to switch back on the lights, I asked her, How long does the test take - for each eye?
Seven minutes, she said.
Seven minutes of hell, I said.
She said everyone thinks the same thing.
I was so excited when Ada left both a phone and email message to come over.
King of the West.
Fruit lovers know the little dustbowl of a town near San Jose in California called Turlock produces the world's best-tasting melons. Honeydews from here, grown and packed by 'King of the West', are sumptuous. They weigh a ton, emanate their sweet bouquet from miles away (ok - not quite miles, but far) and have a real lime-y color to their flesh. Be patient and let them ripen fully before diving in. Your reward will be pure succulence.
Rich and I sat in the den and watched the PBS Evening News Hour.
My medium rare piece was scrumptious, as was the salad, below right, tossed with Ken's Balsamic Vinegar Dressing, and how about those grilled vegetables on the lower right.
Who's on the phone? Their son, Aaron, discussing whether his parents should come down to DC. Aaron gave direx to avoid Pope traffic.
On the way home I drove I drove down Morgan Mill Road, close to my house, and found a treasure-trove of items in the trash. The people are moving.
I took the toys, which are still in my back seat.
Wait! You think I've finished already?
Hold on! Here are some home-made cards I mailed out two days ago.
My artist friend Claudia is a huge inspiration.
What happened to the flashing
brown eyes I had as a kid?
Rest your chin here, your forehead
pressed to the top, says Michele.
Do not blink.
My eyes flutter.
I'm ready, I say, and
hold button in hand.
The visual field machine
grinds. The room is dark.
I am alone. Fright
fills my soul, afraid I've
got glaucoma in my
Medicare years.
Click, goes the button,
click click click.
Whenever you see
the flashing light. Ah,
there's one up top,
click, like catching a
high drive in right field,
click, a grounder near
first base, Yoga Berra,
newly dead at ninety,
concentrate, I yell inside,
what if I go blind, I'll kill
myself, they make you
fill a coffee cup by weight,
not sight, a regular Jimmy
Piersall, still alive at 85, I snag
a ball from centerfield, grateful
for my dexterity, still playing
at sixty-nine. Light enters
the room. Michele is back.
Time for the other eye.
I ask the only question possible
How long does it take?
Seven minutes on each eye, she says.
Seven minutes of hell, I reply.

The world of social media has allowed us to scan our old photos, and upload them so that we can share them with the world. Some of these images have created such nostalgia that they have actual been known to building friendships and led us to reconnect with old friends. One of those is the hit theme on Facebook known as "Throwback Thursday," where people post photos from long ago. It's always fun to see how the styles and times have changed and it's quite interesting to remember those old schoolmates in an old class photos. There is nothing quite like seeing some old photos from the eighties. The big hair, puffy shoulder pads and bright colors will send us right back into the memories from those days.
Even old music has a way of changing our mood, sending us back to an era from long ago. Hearing an old love song by Patsy Cline, may pull up a memory of a love lost long ago.
But what about those old tools and appliances? Every now and then an old photo of a vintage tool pops up, and really makes us appreciate the modern tools we have today.
On a site known a "Do You Remember," an image is posted of something that appears to be an old tool. But, can you guess what it is?
Some may think it's an old garden tool, meant to dig up dirt or old flowers. Others may think it's designed to pull apart a clam shell. It certainly looks similar to some type of a shovel. But is it dangerous with that threatening sharp triangular edge?
Can you guess what this item is?
The truth behind this mysterious image is that it's a vintage oil can opener spout. I bet the tin man from The Wizard of Oz would find this little handy as he begged his friends to squirt that much needed oil on his limbs.
If you look really closely, the shape of the tool is somewhat similar to those tools that are used to crack open those cans of juice. They opening results in a puncture that is in the shape of a triangle.
Nowadays, if an oil can opener is still even used, we can imagine it would be a lot smaller. As time goes on, tools like this tend to become more compact and take up less space. New inventors find ways to create tools that are just as useful, if not more, with less supplies needed. If you search online long enough, you will see that there are several vintage oil can openers and over the years, they have in fact, gotten smaller.
This particular oil spout opener, dates back to the 1980s, so while it's vintage, it's surprisingly not too terribly old.

The southernmost capital city of Australia, the sleepy city of Hobart is one of the prettiest capitals in Australia. Hobart residents (of which this writer was one – can't you tell?) will wax lyrical about the city's cool climate, scenery, access to surrounding bushland, interesting history and … well, yes, we do go on!
But how does being the most southern capital affect renewable energy options such as solar power systems in Hobart, particularly since it is not as sun-blessed as its northern counterparts. Does this mean solar energy is not an option?
Not so, as the burgeoning number of companies installing solar panels on houses and businesses in Tasmania will attest to.
While the level of solar energy is reduced in comparison to mainland locations, it has been shown that a combination of PV panels and natural energy efficiency will pay enormous dividends in the Apple Isle. Cooler temperatures can also help improve solar panel efficiency.
Making use of the Hobart yearly average of 3.5 hours of sun per day with efficiency guidelines as suggested by the Hobart City Council – which promotes the use of the sun's energy to heat homes through design at the building stage – shows that Hobart residents are equipped to embrace the future in energy needs: that of solar energy.
Hobart City's Council has also jumped on the solar energy bandwagon. In 2015, it installed a 100kW system on the Hobart Aquatic Centre rooftop. That project was so successful in helping slash the facility's electricity costs, it was announced in May 2017 another 1,040 solar panels would be added. Furthermore, Council will be installing solar power systems on 11 other buildings throughout Hobart; generating savings for ratepayers and setting an example for others to follow.
You can join Hobart City Council and thousands of the city's households and businesses that are reaping the rewards of rooftop solar electricity generation. Start today by getting three quotes from top installers in Hobart.

Founder / CEO
"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything". ~Albert Einstein
This quote of Einstein's is probably the simplest reason why Kesava picked up photography.
From the time he sneakily picked up his dad's worn-out yet everlasting Yashica camera, to click random pictures of dogs on the streets, the tumblers with water that his mom used to carry and even his little toys – he knew he was having fun, and the fact that it was fulfilling was not just because he was freezing those beautiful moments on camera but also because he fully knew his subjects – be it the dog he played with or the faded tumbler he used to water the plants.

50 The Central Intelligence Agency fueled the sense of urgency. 51 Dulles and his intelligence analysts left little doubt that Iraq was fated to become the next communist satellite. The CIA pressed the Iraq Committee to pursue an aggressive covert action program, including possibly assassination, which intelligence analysts saw as the only sure way of removing Qasim from power. '52 A partially declassified document prepared for the Iraq Committee listed overt and covert measures being planned or implemented by the United States.
While it is difficult to know exactly what actions were taken to destabilize or overthrow Qasim's regime, we can discern fairly clearly what was on the planning table. We also can see clues as to what was authorized. Within days of the coup in Iraq, the US and British governments began contemplating covert action. 46 The Iraq Committee, formed a few months later, counseled military restraint while considering covert options. It shared the consensus view within the administration that dramatic military action by the United States was not desirable at that time.
34 The discussion again turned to military intervention. By the spring of 1959, the Pentagon had already developed plans to use two or three army divisions to gain control over Baghdad and other strategic locations. 35 But the Eisenhower administration also recognized that unprovoked, preemptive warfare would stimulate fierce resistance from the Iraqi populace. Any new government set up by the United States would be discredited, the State Department warned: 'As soon as US forces left Iraq the revulsion against any government set up [by the US] .

CAPAC Members Commemorate 53rd Anniversary of the Voting Rights Act
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today marks the 53rd anniversary of the enactment of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. In commemoration of this anniversary, Members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) issued the following statements:
Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-27), CAPAC Chair:
"53 years ago, the Voting Rights Act (VRA) of 1965 made it possible for all Americans to exercise the right to vote, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, or language ability. Despite the tremendous progress made through this landmark legislation, the sacred right to vote remains under attack. In fact, since the Supreme Court gutted the VRA with its 2013 Shelby v. Holder decision, states and localities have passed voter suppression laws that have made it harder for millions of Americans to vote. This includes the implementation of increasingly onerous voter ID laws, purging voter rolls, and asking for proof of citizenship that disproportionately impacts communities of color.
"As we mark the 53rd anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, CAPAC remains committed to ensuring that all Americans have an equal voice in our democracy. Congress must work to restore the Voting Rights Act and ensure that all voters have the ability to make their voices heard."
Senator Mazie K. Hirono (HI):
"As we mark the 53rd anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, we continue to fight Supreme Court decisions like Shelby County and Abbot v. Perez that erode the VRA's fundamental protections. Congress must act to protect the right of all Americans to vote and to have their votes counted."
Congressman Joe Crowley (NY-14), Chairman of the House Democratic Caucus:
"The passage of the Voting Rights Act marks one of our country's boldest steps forward in the fight for equal rights, a fight that we continue today. This momentous piece of legislation guaranteed access to the ballot box for millions of African-Americans, yet the forces of intolerance and fear continue to wage an endless assault on this sacred right. The Supreme Court's Shelby County decision, along with the passage of voter suppression laws in state legislatures across the nation, have rendered millions of citizens unable to exercise their constitutional duty. The fact that the Voting Rights Act stands weaker today than it was in 1965 is a moral travesty. We must pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act to restore the critical protections that have been gutted from the Voting Rights Act and ensure that every voter is able to participate in our democracy to the fullest extent."
Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13):
"The Voting Rights Act of 1965 affirmed that Americans of every race have a fundamental right to the ballot box. Sadly, the shameful decision in Shelby v. Holder has eroded that right and made it harder for Americans to vote. Systemic disenfranchisement and purges of voter registrations prevent many - especially those in communities of color, living in poverty, and in marginalized communities - from exercising their constitutional rights. As an elected official, I will keep working with my colleagues to safeguard our democracy and end voter disenfranchisement."
Congresswoman Grace Meng (NY-06):
"Today is the 53rd anniversary of the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) which was created to ensure that every American can exercise their right to vote. Unfortunately, the VRA has been weakened by the 2013 Shelby County v. Holder decision and subsequent discriminatory state laws and court decisions have made access to the ballot box even harder. Despite these setbacks, we must continue our fight for equal access to the ballot box. I will work with my colleagues in Congress to restore the VRA and ensure that all voters can make their voices heard."
Congressman Scott Peters (CA-52):
"On the 53rd anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, voting remains among our most basic, sacred rights as Americans. The ballot box should be accessible to all—no American should be subject to disenfranchisement or efforts that prevent them from exercising their right to vote. We've come a long way in making voting more accessible, but we still need to pass the Voting Rights Amendment Act to fully restore and modernize the Voting Rights Act, ensuring equal voting transparency requirements for all 50 states."
Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard (CA-40):
"When the Voting Rights Act was signed 53 years ago, it instantly became a landmark law in a fight that continues to this day: ensuring that people of color have an equal voice in our democracy. That is why we must keep working to restore the VRA sections that were wrongly rolled back by the Supreme Court and remain ever-vigilant against assaults on the voting rights of any group. When our children and grandchildren look back on this era, let's make sure they'll see that we all stood up for the right to vote."
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) is comprised of Members of Congress of Asian and Pacific Islander descent and Members who have a strong dedication to promoting the well-being of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community. Currently chaired by Congresswoman Judy Chu, CAPAC has been addressing the needs of the AAPI community in all areas of American life since it was founded in 1994.

The PhD researchers share a common supervisor, Professor Rob Reed at CQUniversity, and both presented posters on their projects at the Australian Society of Microbiology Conference in Sydney recently (July 4-8).

Riti's work should help community planners encourage use of the most cost-effective and safe copper vessels and water storage procedures throughout areas of Asia, where many people draw their water from natural watercourses.
Sadia, who has come to Australia via a Masters program in New Zealand, is using metal in a different way to harness sunshine as a disinfectant for aquaculture pond systems, such as prawn hatcheries, which provide seafoods for millions across the globe.
Her system involves circulating pond water across a glass plate covered with a thin film of titanium dioxide, which acts as a solar disinfection catalyst without becoming a residue. If shown to be effective the system will reduce the chance that antibiotics or other treatment residues will get into the food chain.
CQUniversity engineer Dr Mohammad Rasul is supervising the structural side of Sadia's project.
"The economic significance is considerable," Sadia says. "At present, bacterial and viral disease must be treated using antibiotics and similar chemical approaches, creating problems at the retail level when antibiotic residues are present, as well as leading to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, with consequences for animal and human use of such antibiotics.
"This project will enable such antibiotics to be replaced by a low-cost, sustainable approach leaving no residual chemicals in the water and thereby improving the quality of the prawn stock."

Disability Accommodation
Students that have a documented disability or a health concern that requires specific housing arrangements may request a reasonable accommodation in housing. Students should complete all of the following to request this accommodation:
- Indicate accommodation needs on the Housing and Food Service Contract.
- Complete a Request for Accommodation in Housing form and submit it to the Office of Residence Life
- Provide documentation from a relevant physician, psychologist, physical therapist, audiologist, social worker or other appropriate licensed professional. This documentation should describe the condition requiring the accommodation, the current impact of the condition in relation to the request, and the level of need for the requested accommodation and the consequences of not receiving it (1-10 scale).
Received documentation will be reviewed by the Office of Residence Life in consultation with the disability services coordinator. All information submitted will be treated as confidential. The University's evaluation of these requests is based on the severity of the condition, the timing of the request, and the feasibility and availability of modifications or space requested.
Note: Requests for single rooms as an accommodation based solely on a desire to have a "quiet, undisturbed place to study" are generally not granted. The University provides quiet study areas in the residence halls and in the library.
Written requests should be submitted as early as possible to allow adequate time to make arrangements or modifications as appropriate.
Download the Request for Accommodation form
Emotional Support Animal Protocol and Agreement
It is recognized that emotional support animals can provide valuable support to students with properly documented disabilities. Since the animal is not a service animal as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act, the University needs to review documentation to determine if the request for this accommodation is a reasonable and appropriate accommodation under the Fair Housing Act.
The University will work with students to help define the role and the place of emotional support animal(s) at the University of Evansville. A requesting individual should provide the Disability Services office appropriate documentation at least 30 days before prospective housing will be needed for the emotional support animal. Written requests should be submitted to Debbie Brenton, Disability Services Coordinator and ADA Coordinator for students.

We've recently learned that HeinOnline's "U.S. Congressional Documents" library offers browsable copies of the Congressional Record Index. Given proposals to axe many print copies of the Congressional Record, there is concern that, among other things, we could lose ready access to the great research tool that is the Index. Last year, we researched dozens of wilderness-related bills in the 1950s-1960s. Initially, title searching in Congressional documents databases did not identify them all, because a few of the earlier bills were captioned as "forestry"—a fact discovered by using the print version of the Congressional Record Index. So, we are relieved that HeinOnline has preserved the Index's utility with browsable PDFs. To boot, they do a great job with metadata structuring. Each letter within an Index may be accessed via separate hyperlink. As one browses, the list of hyperlinks remains visible along the left of the screen, allowing for easy navigation. Thank you, HeinOnline!

Is searching the best way to retrieve legal documents?
This paper from Norway suggests that legal information sources " have a rich and homogeneneous structure which makes it possible to establish chronological, alphabetical and systematic indexes," something we tell our students over and over and over again.
Is searching the best way to retrieve legal documents?
By Trygve Harvold
Lov&Data nr. 98 – Juni 2009
Legal texts have a rich structure and a large number of links which can be utilized in retrieving documents. This paper is based on a numerical study of the link structure in approximately 200,000 documents in the Lovdata database. The hypertext structure is analyzed and it is suggested that it should be possible to navigate the database on the basis of indexes and links. Analysis of the use of Lovdata also indicated that utilizing chronological and alphabetical indexes and the hyperstructure of links might in many cases be a more efficient and use-friendly way of finding documents than the traditional search.
While searching is a necessary and powerful tool, it may not always be the most user-friendly way of locating documents in a legal information system. In this paper we have shown how the rich structure and numerous links of legal documents allow for the construction of indexes, buttons and links which makes it possible for users to navigate the system without searching. User statistics from Lovdata show that users often prefer this alternative way of navigation in situations where it is possible and practical.
The paper is rich with persuasive illustrations.
Legal Ontologies Spin a Semantic Web
Legal Ontologies Spin a Semantic Web
By Dr. Adam Z. Wyner
Special to Law.com
June 8, 2009
"The Semantic Web, an extension of the current www, promises to make documents meaningful to people and computers by changing how legal knowledge is represented and managed. Dr. Adam Z. Wyner explains how legal ontologies will help complete the new Web's design."
From the article:
Consider an example ontology for case law. There are various approaches to find relevant case law — using text-mining software, search tools, proprietary indices or legal research summaries. These approaches can extract some latent linguistic information from the text but often require researchers to craft the results; indeed, successful information extraction depends on an ontology, and as there is not yet a rich ontology of the case law domain, much information in cases cannot be easily extracted or reasoned with. Moreover, none of these approaches apply inference rules.
Reading a case such as Manhattan Loft v. Mercury Liquors, there are elementary questions that can be answered by any legal professional, but not by a computer:
Where was the case decided?
Who were the participants and what roles did they play?
Was it a case of first instance or on appeal?
What was the basis of the appeal?
What were the legal issues at stake?
What were the facts?
What factors were relevant in making the decision?
What was the decision?
What legislation or case law was cited?
Legal information service providers such as LexisNexis index some of the information and provide it in headnotes, but many of the details, which may be crucial, can only be found by reading the case itself. Current text-mining technologies cannot answer the questions because the information is embedded in the complexities of the language of the case, which computers cannot yet fully parse and understand. Finally, there are relationships among the pieces of information which no current automated system can represent, such as the relationships among case factors or precedential relationships among cases.
In conclusion, the author remarks:
Legal ontologies are one of the central elements of managing and automating legal knowledge. With ontologies, the means are available to realize significant portions of the Semantic Web for legal professionals, particularly if an open-source, collaborative approach is taken.

Wolfram Alpha, Kumo and Google Squared
Good article in the Comment & Analysis section of today's Financial Times, " Wolfram Alpha asks some searching questions of the web," by John Gapper.
The article points out that "[w]hile search engines are a starting point in a quest to find things out, Wolfram Alpha provides complete answers." Or attempts to, anyway. According to the article, Wolfram Alpha is especially successful when dealing with "scientific and mathematical data, or the sort of information held routinely on public databases such as . . . World Factbook . . . "
Unlike other search engines, Wolfram Alpha's data "are not drawn from the web but from a database that is 'curated' by Wolfram Research. . . . Its data are drawn only from sources that are edited and checked . . . "
The article also reports that next week Microsoft will launch what is codenamed Kumo, a search engine to compete with Google.
There's more on a new Google feature too:
. . . "One of the hardest problems in computer science is data extraction. Can we look at the unstructured web and extract values and facts in a meaningful way?" asked [Google's] Marissa Mayer, . . .
Ms. Mayer showed off Google Squared, an experimental new feature that would allow Google users . . . to assemble data about, for example, various breeds of small dogs in a form like a spreadsheet.
The Wayback Machine and More From Brewster Kahle

The internet's librarian
Brewster Kahle wants to create a free, online collection of human knowledge. It sounds impossibly idealistic — but he is making progress
It is easy to dismiss Mr. Kahle as an idealist, but he has an impressive record of getting things done.
I have used the Wayback machine — i.e., The Internet Archive — to find needed documents that were not otherwise available online anymore. And apparently I'm not the only one:
The most famous part of the archive is the Wayback Machine (its name inspired by the WABAC machine in the 50-year-old television cartoon featuring Rocky and Bullwinkle). This online attic of digital memorabilia stores copies of internet sites . . . Paul Courant, the dean of libraries at the University of Michigan, equates what the archive does for the internet with what the British Museum did for the British empire. . . . The Wayback Machine "gives us access to what people were producing at different points in time," he says. Evidentially this is of more than just academic interest: the site gets 500 page requests per second.
The article also discusses "Mr. Kahle's wider goal:
to build the world's largest digital library. He has recruited 135 libraries worldwide to openlibrary.org, the aim of which is to create a catalogue of every book ever published, with links to its full text where available. . . .
The article notes that "this activist for online privacy is also a staunch supporter of openness" and details efforts and litigation Mr. Kahle has been involved with.
CILP, the Schooner Tuna of legal information providers
Here's an e-mail that brightened my day:
I know we are all worried about how to maintain the quality of our collections and services in light of our uncertain economy.
We have decided to roll back our price for electronic CILP to 2005 levels or $696 for the coming year.
As with any vendor, we have expenses to pay. We are trying to reduce these to give you the best possible price we can.
Any other vendors willing to follow suit?

A New Index to the South Dakota Constitutional Conventions
Being a huge fan of indexes, this item in a brand new law review caught my eye: "Indexing the South Dakota Constitutional Conventions: A 21st Century Solution to a 125 Year Old Problem," 53 South Dakota Law Review 260 (2008).
The indexes in this article
. . . are an index for the Constitutional Conventions of 1883, 1885, and 1889 arranged by subject matter and by article of the constitutional document. They were initially compiled by University of South Dakota law student David Barari. Justice Steven L. Zinter and I [Chief Justice David Gilbertson] edited them. . . . The new indexes constitute a vastly improved research aid for those wishing to research the Constitutional Debates.
