Restorative Justice at the Intersections of Indigeneity, Spirituality, and Race
Led by Fania E. Davis, PhD, JD and Teiahsha Bankhead, PhD, LCSW
Intensive 3-day Workshop
Monday, January 14 to Wednesday, January 16, 2019
9:00 am-1:00 pm and 2:00-5:00 pm
This is a three-day interactive and experiential training that explores the origins, principles, and practices of restorative justice (RJ), with a special emphasis on its intersections with spirituality, indigeneity, racial justice, and peacebuilding. Experiencing the power of the RJ Circle firsthand and engaging in simulations, participants will learn how to facilitate a Community-building Circle and will be introduced to Conflict Circle facilitation. Using the Circle process and other interactive approaches, participants will also examine their own implicit bias and explore practical de-biasing strategies. The entire training will be scaffolded throughout with ceremony, movement and other modalities to deliver an embodied learning experience.

Bio of Fania Davis and Teiahsha Bankhead
Fania Davis
Fania E. Davis is a leading national voice on restorative justice, especially its intersection with racial justice. She is a long-time social justice activist, civil rights trial attorney, restorative justice practitioner, writer, professor and scholar with a PhD in Indigenous Knowledge. Coming of age in Birmingham, Alabama during the social ferment of the civil rights era, the murder of two close childhood friends in the 1963 Sunday School bombing crystallized within Fania a passionate commitment to social transformation. For the next decades, she was active in the Civil Rights, Black liberation, women's, prisoners', peace, anti-racial violence and anti-apartheid movements. Studying with indigenous healers, particularly in Africa, catalyzed Fania's search for a healing justice, ultimately leading Fania to bring restorative justice to Oakland, California. Founding Director of Restorative Justice of Oakland Youth (RJOY), her numerous honors include the Ubuntu award for service to humanity, the Dennis Maloney Award for excellence in Youth Restorative Justice, World Trust's Healing Justice award, the Tikkun (Repair the World) award, the Ella Baker/Septima Clark Award, the Bioneer's Changemaker Award, the LaFarge Social Justice Award, and the Ebony POWER 100 award. She is a Woodrow Wilson fellow and the Los Angeles Times has named her a New Civil Rights Leader of the 21st Century.
Fania, who resides in Oakland, California, writes and speaks internationally on restorative justice, racial justice, school-based restorative justice, restorative justice to interrupt the racialized school to prison pipeline and mass incarceration, a restorative justice-based truth and reconciliation process to transform historical harm against African-Americans, gender and restorative justice, restorative justice to promote community peace and healing and other subjects.
Teiahsha Bankhead
Executive Director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth (RJOY), Teiahsha Bankhead is a social justice activist, a restorative justice advocate, a licensed psychotherapist and a professor with both MSW and PhD degrees in social work from the University of California at Berkeley.
She was a Research Fellow of both the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), and the United States Psychiatric Congress and served on the Family Council of Spirit Rock Meditation Center. She is co-author, with University of California Berkeley, Professor Emeritus Jewelle Taylor-Gibbs, of Preserving Privilege: California Politics, Propositions and People of Color.
Born to a Black radical mother during the uprising of the Watts Rebellion and coming of age in South Central Los Angeles during the embittered racial relations and social unrest of the civil rights era ignited within Dr. Bankhead a passionate commitment to social justice advocacy and transformative community empowerment.
Dr. Bankhead has a commitment to racial justice, racial healing and restorative economics. She has taught racial, gender and sexual orientation diversity, theories of criminal behavior, and US social policy. She speaks and holds circle on the subjects of Race and Restorative Justice, the Indigenous Roots of Restorative Justice, Truth-Telling and Racial Healing, the School-to-Prison Pipeline, Mass Incarceration, and Restorative Cities.
Over the last years she has worked to increase racial equity building approaches in restorative justice practices. In June of 2017 she co-chaired, with Fania Davis, the largest and most diverse RJ conference in US history, the Sixth National NACRJ conference in Oakland with the theme, "Moving Restorative Justice From Margins to Center: We're the Ones We've Been Waiting For," which included over 1,300 registered attendees.
Her future is focused on expanding the work of RJ towards radical inclusivity and practicing restorative justice through an equity lens in ways that honor its indigenous roots.

Cable operators look to Wi-Fi hotspots as customer retention strategy
U.S. cable operators are making free Wi-Fi hotspots in select cities part of their customer retention strategy -- a move expected to eventually evolve into revenue-generating services based on or tied to Wi-Fi.
Cable operators have encroached on nearly every part of traditional telecom turf over the past few years, with one notable exception: wireless. In an effort to reduce churn and get in on the rapidly growing mobility market, U.S. cable companies are making free Wi-Fi hotspots in select cities part of their customer retention strategy
"If you look at this in isolation, you'd say it doesn't make any sense. But if you look at it in [light of] the value proposition, it makes a lot of sense," said Mike Jude, program manager for Stratecast, a division of Frost & Sullivan. "This integrated service environment is starting to set the standard for [the perceived value of services]."
With thousands of miles of cable plant already in the ground and no appetite for spending billions to build mobile networks from scratch, cable operators can use Wi-Fi hotspots to cost-effectively extend wireless services to subscribers on top of their existing infrastructure, Jude said. It's a natural choice for operators since many mobile devices, including most smartphones, now support Wi-Fi, he added.
Although Wi-Fi has a much shorter range than cellular signals -- feet versus miles -- the capital expense of a few thousand wireless access points (APs) in select cities is dramatically below the cost of building cell sites and base stations nationwide.
Free Wi-Fi with widespread coverage is also more palatable to consumers who are weary of shelling out $15 to $30 every month for 3G data services, which notoriously slow to a crawl in the same cities that cable operators are peppering with hotspots.
"Wi-Fi really isn't that expensive an adjunct to a cable operator's business. In fact, it's a lot less expensive than offering cellular data," Jude said. "We're almost certain that it's a value-add [service] for customer retention and maybe some customer attraction."
Wi-Fi surpasses cellular speeds, but will it reduce churn?
Although the forthcoming next-generation cellular technology, Long-Term Evolution (LTE), offers a theoretical 100-150 Mbps downlink in pristine laboratory conditions, the latest Wi-Fi standard, 802.11n, blows it away with a 600 Mbps theoretical max. Those throughputs will be tough to achieve outside labs, but 802.11n APs still typically offer 300-450 Mbps, whereas actual LTE speeds are expected to be between 5 and 12 Mbps.
Comcast Corp., Cablevision Systems Corp. and Time Warner Cable announced an agreement in April to allow subscribers in the New York metro area, including parts of New Jersey and Connecticut, to roam between all of the operators' previously independent Wi-Fi networks. Each wireless AP displays authentication options for all three services -- Cablevision's Optimum Wi-Fi, Time Warner Cable Wi-Fi and Comcast's Xfinity Wi-Fi.
Meanwhile, Cox Communications has generated some revenue from its free Wi-Fi strategy. The cable operator installs and manages wireless APs in customer-facing Rhode Island and Connecticut businesses, selling the service to businesses as a way for them to attract customers. Cox-branded Wi-Fi is free to anyone near the hotspot, regardless of whether or not the user is a Cox subscriber.
"It's a wireless land grab," said David Callisch, vice president of marketing at Ruckus. "Whether you're a wireless company, a cable company or a podunk LEC, everybody's trying to grab subscribers, and they're doing it any way they know how."
Cable operators' Wi-Fi strategy: A threat to telcos
Although free Wi-Fi hotspots alone are unlikely to poach a significant number of new subscribers from traditional telecom and mobile carriers, analysts say they have the potential to be a selling point -- and profitable -- if cable operators can tie them into fixed-line services.
"This integrated services environment is starting to set the standard for value perception," Jude said. "Now you can say that it's not just a video service. Now you have data, and if you're located in [a Wi-Fi coverage area], you can extend that data presence to wherever you are."
For now, however, Wi-Fi hotspots appear to be a customer retention strategy to reduce churn and keep pace with traditional telecom and mobile operators, which now have one more reason to see their cable operator brethren as a credible threat.
While many telecoms will view this Wi-Fi strategy as a threat, others might seize it as an opportunity, according to Bill Rubino, principal analyst at ACG Research. Some wireless carriers may ultimately lease Wi-Fi from cable operators as a cheap means of wireless backhaul.
"I think initially it's a way to differentiate themselves. But I think as things evolve, especially in terms of 3G offload … you're going to really see the marriage of the cable operators and the mobile carriers take off," Rubino said.
"It's not a rational market, in the sense that nobody knows what's going on," Jude said. "We're making up the rules as we go along. We don't really know what's ultimately going to define the market."
Cable operators have become "a serious threat to telcos" because of their ability to deliver faster throughput and more tightly integrated services, he added. The attempt to usurp mobile broadband with free Wi-Fi is just "upping the ante" and forcing telecom operators to invest more in integrated services.
"I think you can expect to see a lot of innovation coming out of [telecoms], and they wouldn't [do that] if they didn't feel threatened by Comcast and the other cable MSOs [multiple system operators]," Jude said. "Everything's a threat to them."

While the temperatures continue to drop outside, it's only natural to want the temperatures inside to rise. As winter continues, we tend to do whatever it takes to stay warm and comfortable whenever we're indoors, and that often means setting our thermostats to a higher than normal internal temperature.
Sounds like a flawless plan, right? When you're cold, simply turn up the heat in your home or office, and you have what it takes to beat winter! Well, not exactly. When the weather inside becomes even just a few degrees warmer than normal, that temperature fluctuation can have drastic consequences on you and your body.
Here are a few common irritants that often come with turning up the heat in your home.
Use a Humidifier
Although your home's heating system will bring needed comfort from the bitter cold, that doesn't mean the price you have to pay is allergies and dry skin. Why does this happen? The higher the temperatures, the less moisture there is in the air, and that often leads to cracked lips, irritated skin, and even the occasional sore throat.
This is where a humidifier in your home will help significantly. Humidifiers will deliver the necessary moisture needed in the air, all without sacrificing the cozy feeling you're looking for.
Try a Space Heater
While space heaters are a great option to create warmth in your home without turning on the furnace, we highly recommend you use one without a fan. Fans in space heaters can easily circulate excess dirt and dust in your home.
Instead, go for a micathermic heater or an infrared space heater. Micathermic heaters are quiet, efficient, and heat indoor rooms evenly without fans. Infrared heaters, which use energy waves to transfer heat directly onto people or objects, are great for warming areas directly in front of the heating unit.
While it may feel good to turn the temperature up in your home this winter, proceed with caution. The more you know about how heating can lead to dry skin and allergens, the more you can do to not only combat those potential issues and stay cozy and healthy all season long. For more information on how you can heat your home safely, trust your friends and experts at Wheeler Heating and Air. Reach us today at 417-839-9240 or at email@example.com.

The latest on the presidential horse race.
Trump Gets Trumped by Clinton in Michigan
The latest Michigan poll by FOX 2 Detroit/Mitchell has been an unfriendly one for Donald Trump, who fell by 10 points to his rival Hillary Clinton.
Which presidential candidate would you vote for?
- Hillary Clinton – 49%
- Donald Trump – 39%
Clinton continues to play the slow game and it is working. By letting Trump dominate the media, she has completely taken the spotlight off of her own campaign and her political baggage.
Every day, Trump or his campaign says something idiotic to the media. Dating back to the beginning, it started with Trump's wall and Muslim ban proposals, and today, it continues with his war of words with the Khan family and other individuals.
Trump's biggest weaknesses are his inability to keep quiet and apologize when he makes mistakes. The tough guy persona he plays may work in business, but in politics it is the equivalent of tying your own noose. Politics is a game of subtlety and it requires a nuisanced individual that understands the intricacies of such a game. These are qualities that Trump does not possess and that his opponent does.
As the election draws closer, expect Clinton to cement the undecided voter block and push Trump into a corner in the presidential debates, where he will no longer be able to hide from discussing actual policy, beyond his usual talking points.

New ADR Resource: Dispute Resolution Data
The new database, Dispute Resolution Data, is an interesting addition to the Moritz Law Library's ADR collection. It provides aggregated international arbitration and mediation data from 185 countries. It collects this data from 17 arbitration and mediation organizations from all over the world, and makes it available to view in the form of charts, lists, and statistics, by case type, region, award details, counterclaims, and more. The data allows users to examine geographic and case type outcome differences, compare ADR to traditional litigation, and see ADR trends over time.
To use Dispute Resolution Data (off-campus access), click "Sign In," and then select "Academic Login" for immediate access as an OSU user.
New Library Database: ProQuest Supreme Court Insight
ProQuest Supreme Court Insight 1975-2016 (off-campus access) provides comprehensive materials from cases argued before the U. S. Supreme Court, including opinions, dockets, oral argument transcripts, joint appendices, and amicus briefs. (ProQuest plans to add cert denied cases starting later this year.) For each case, ProQuest has compiled a history, including a brief summary, the docket, and documents organized by stages, from petition through resolution. Users can also craft more sophisticated searches across content, for example, cases appealed from the Sixth Circuit in which a particular justice dissented, or amicus briefs filed on behalf of the petitioner in tax cases. ProQuest Supreme Court Insight serves as a companion to two other databases: ProQuest Legislative Insight (off-campus access) and ProQuest Regulatory Insight (off-campus access). For cases that involve a specific statute or regulation, users are presented with links to the relevant material in the companion database to supplement your research. Currently, Supreme Court Insight includes cases from 1991 to present; material dating back to 1975 will be added by the end of the year. ProQuest is developing a plan to add and update pending cases, so while many documents for 2017 are available, some opinions are not yet uploaded. See ProQuest's guide for the latest information on content as well as search tips. If you are looking for documents from an earlier case, the Making of Modern Law (off-campus access) offers Supreme Court documents from 1832 to 1978.

Pirates, Wildcats Advance, Johnnie's Fall in Big East Quarterfinals
Villanova will battle Xavier, Seton Hall gets Marquette in semifinals.
In a packed day at Madison Square Garden that saw the highest attendance in a Big East Tournament quarterfinals since 2013 (19,354), the Villanova Wildcats defeated the Providence Friars and the Seton Hall Pirates dominated the Georgetown Hoyas.
The Wildcats opened the day like they usually do, defeating the Friars 73-62 and improving their Big East Tournament record to 12-2 since the 2013-14 realignment. The Wildcats also improved to 10-1 all-time against Providence in the Big East Tournament.
Villanova was led by Eric Pachall, who tallied his third double-double of the season. His 20 points were a game-high to go with 10 rebounds. Collin Gillespie added 19 points going 7-15 from the field.
"Coach tells us we have to lead by example, talk to our younger guys, and just do all the little things — playing defense, rebounding, not worrying about if our shot's going in," Paschall said. "I just feel like our whole team has been doing that. Our whole team's had a great attitude, and we're taking a step in the right direction."
Head coach Jay Wright was also pleased with the gritty performance.
"It was a good effort against a Providence team that's really starting to come together," Wright said. "So I think we beat a good team, a good physical, defensive team. It wasn't pretty, but you've got to be willing to play ugly and win some of those games. So I'm proud of those guys that they did that."
The Friars were led by Nate Watson who tallied 14 points in the loss.
Seton Hall 73 Georgetown 57
The Seton Hall Pirates continued their hot play, defeating Georgetown 73-57 for their third-straight victory.
The Pirates were led by Myles Powell, who set a Big East Tournament record with 29 first-half points. It was the most points in the first half in a Big East Tournament game ever. Powell would go on to finish with 31 points, three rebounds and four rebounds.
Along with Powell was teammate Sandro Mamukelashvili registered a double-double, tallying 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Seton Hall head coach Kevin Willard is happy with his team and where they are at.
"At this point, I like where we're at, I do," Willard said. "I think we're understanding concepts very easily. We're complicated…that's one of the hard things about playing for me, we do complicated things on defense to get teams not to be comfortable."
The Pirates will take on Marquette Friday night with a trip to the Big East finals on the line. It will be Markus Howard and Myles Powell, a matchup everyone is excited for.
Marquette 86 St. Johns 54
The St. John's Red Storm was defeated by the Marquette Golden Eagles 86-54 on Thursday night.
Big East Player of the Year Markus Howard exploited the Red Storm defense, going for 30 points on 8-of-15 from the field. He also knocked down 11 free throws and tallied seven rebounds to go with four assists.
For the Red Storm, the loss was their first to the Eagles this year, having beaten them in both regular season matchups. Justin Simon and Shamorie Ponds tallied 14 and 13 points respectively.

Efficient Algorithms for Non-convex Isotonic Regression through Submodular Optimization
Part of: Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 31 (NIPS 2018)[PDF] [BibTeX] [Supplemental] [Reviews]
Conference Event Type: Poster
We consider the minimization of submodular functions subject to ordering constraints. We show that this potentially non-convex optimization problem can be cast as a convex optimization problem on a space of uni-dimensional measures, with ordering constraints corresponding to first-order stochastic dominance. We propose new discretization schemes that lead to simple and efficient algorithms based on zero-th, first, or higher order oracles; these algorithms also lead to improvements without isotonic constraints. Finally, our experiments show that non-convex loss functions can be much more robust to outliers for isotonic regression, while still being solvable in polynomial time.

Global Knowledge Work
Diversity and Relational Perspectives
Edited by Katerina Nicolopoulou, Mine Karataş-Özkan, Ahu Tatli and John Taylor
Chapter 9: Relationality in Global Knowledge Work Teams
Olivia Kyriakidou
Olivia Kyriakidou INTRODUCTION Organizations in the global knowledge economy typically confront a pressing need to integrate knowledge that is geographically dispersed in order to create and appropriate value (Foss and Pedersen, 2004). The network and knowledge literature suggests that groups of global knowledge workers may serve as vehicles that can integrate such dispersed knowledge (Brown and Duguid, 2001). Such knowledge networks of individuals pose the critical question of how members of global knowledge teams stay engaged and responsive in relationships with knowledge seekers who belong to the same workgroup but to different cultural contexts. This question implies that strong relationships lead to greater knowledge exchange, as people are more willing to give useful knowledge (Andrews and Delahay, 2000; Tsai and Ghoshal, 1998) and are also more willing to listen to and absorb other's knowledge (Carley, 1991). Presumably, networks with strong relationships are more likely to expend effort to ensure that a knowledge seeker sufficiently understands and can put into use newly acquired knowledge (Hansen, 1999). Moreover, it implies that the abilities of knowledge workers to develop a relational orientation, and hence relationality at work, is crucial for sustaining the effectiveness of knowledge exchange. Such relationality could be in some way influenced by the organizational arrangements within which such interactions take place. Following recent work in this area, the term 'relationality at work' is used to describe the tasks necessary to develop and sustain interpersonal relationships (Fletcher, 1994; Jacques, 1992). These are concrete tasks that are required for skilled knowledge exchange...

I went through a classics phase and read a whole bunch. I don't think I've picked up many since that... Good luck with your reading goals! New follower. Happy Friday!ReplyDelete
Yeah, most of the stuff I'm yet to read are also classics! I have to be in a certain mood to read those. They are so rich and awesome when I do but they are hard to sit with.ReplyDelete

Hello! I think venturing outside your comfort zone is a good idea --- shakes things up a bit. :)ReplyDelete
I should probably make an effort to do more of that, myself.

It's always a great idea to push your reading boundaries some of my favorite books are ones that I never would have picked up on my own!ReplyDelete
Hey, at least we'll get some classic reading done in British Novels this semester. Ready to hit Bronte? Lol!ReplyDelete
Hopping through. I'm with you on classics. I want to read them but it's hard to get through them.ReplyDelete
My Hop
I tend not to make too many resolutions either!ReplyDelete
Mostly classics? Probably a quarter of mine are! I know what you mean about reading loads of them though- it just doesn't happen. They're amazing books, but not the kind you can just read in a day. You need the time to stop and think about them and absorb what you're reading.
I own a few classics as well but always end up choosing something else to read instead of them, new follower, here's mineReplyDelete

There's just something about Latin American food – the vibrant and rich flavours, and the unmistakable taste of ingredients that have been kissed by fire.
Adelaide's Hoosegow Restaurant passionately cooks up a Latin American-inspired menu, and with their unique mix of Argentinian, Venezuelan, Albanian, Brazilian, Indian and east-Asian flavours, it's unlikely you're going to find food like this anywhere else in town.
This one-of-a-kind restaurant tucked away in suburbia serves up a menu based all around the charcoal grill. And having just hit their fourth birthday – which is almost an eternity in hospitality years – they're clearly doing something right.
Going back to the beginning, it all started with chilli chicken. Ara Ohanessian would always cook his signature dish for family barbeques, which would always leave friends and family saying, 'you should be selling this!'
While Ara and his wife Shadia both ran their own businesses in graphic design by day, he spent two decades perfecting it, getting the marinade just right. Then a chance encounter saw them taking over a space on Magill Road and opening Hoosegow.
Haven't discovered this hidden gem yet? Just 10 minutes out of the city to the west, Hoosegow serves Latin American food, with a touch of eastern Asian flavours (thanks to the Ohanessian's love of that part of the world).
The majority of food is cooked on charcoal – which is obvious the second you set foot in the venue as the unmistakable aromas waft past. Think melt-in-your-mouth eight-hour smoked beef brisket, slow roast soft pork belly, or spicy lamb backstrap.
Surprisingly, there are also plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, which also each carry their own when it comes to spice and big bold flavours.
In the kitchen now they have chefs from Venezuela, Albania, Brazil and even India – head Chef Rafael Loggiodice and his team Sineda, Filipè, Neil and Francis each brings their own unique flavour combinations.
Co-owner Shadia says the restaurant is all about igniting all of the senses, from the comfortable dining space with pops of vibrant colour and ornate detailing and gentle background music, mixed with what they call their signature friendly 'hoose-pitality', and of course the smokey aromas that drift past.
To try Hoosegow with an extra dose of flavour and flair, they're holding their popular flamenco dinner on October 26 with live entertainment by Alma Flamenca. Entry is free but bookings are essential, and an a la carte menu will run for the evening.
Hoosegow is at 419 Magill Road, St Morris. Find out more here.

Oct 3: Doctor X Treme & Alexandra Ars from Orgasmatronics on the Ambrosia Vibe and their mission of Less Pants, More Science
This week for Sex Out Loud, I talk to the co-founders of Orgasmatronics, Inc. Doctor X. Treme & Alexandra Ars. Their recent crowdsourcing campaign is bringing the first touch response bionic strap-on vibrator, the Ambrosia Vibe. They'll discuss the process of bringing the revolutionary Ambrosia Vibe to the market, how they create innovative toys, and their inspirational motto "Less Pants, More Science."
Sex Out Loud airs every Friday at 5 pm PT / 8 pm ET on the VoiceAmerica Variety channel. You can listen on your computer, phone, or tablet, find all the ways here!
When Doctor X. Treme was a child he dreamed of becoming an inventor. His aspirations led him to the field of physics and his studies earned him a PhD from Yale University. After graduation the Doctor took a job in a government lab. He spent the next six years erecting quantum measurement devices for low temperature physics. While the work was engaging, Treme found it constricting and oppressive, like wearing pants. He grew weary of the military's involvement in his field. To the Doctor, applied physics was about more than advanced weaponry. One fateful night, his wife made a simple request. "Build me a sex machine?" she asked. And just like that, Doctor X. Treme quit his government job, took off his pants, and got to work. These days, the Doctor dedicates his time to coupling science and technology in the bedroom. He researches ways to use physical principles to enhance the lives of (extra)ordinary people.
Alexandra Ars manages the brand, designs the web and brews the tea for Orgasmatronics, Inc. She co-founded the company with Doctor X. Treme. Alexandra used to be a graphic designer for a jewelry company, several bands and, for a little while, Mozilla. But when Dr. X. elucidated his vision of a queer sex toy company while they waded in a freezing river she knew she had to help make the dream a reality. She is a kinky, polyamorous, bespectacled drummer. She believes socks and scarves are the sexiest items of clothing especially when worn exclusively. Alexandra loves the Ambrosia Vibe bionic strap-on for it's simplicity and body-hacking and gender-bending possibilities.
One Response to "Oct 3: Doctor X Treme & Alexandra Ars from Orgasmatronics on the Ambrosia Vibe and their mission of Less Pants, More Science"
As sexually adventerous people age and deal with increasing physical challenges and limitations how will this impact the sex toy industr?
What do you feel is the best way to promote sex toys that can enhance or regain the joy of sexual pleasure and expression for older folks without embaaressment and shame?

South Africa - Part 1
Susan and I are just back from South Africa. This was our fourth trip to support Cape Mental Health. These are good people doing good work for a great cause. And over the years, many have become dear friends.
But flying is different in South Africa. Most of you know we don't let kids around or under our stuff. But in Cape Town, we made an exception.
This little fellow came up and wanted to hold the line. We let him grab one and then gave it just enough of a boost to lift his feet off the ground.
The smile his face was as big as an Octopus!
He gave Susie a big hug when he was done. And it wasn't until he was walking away that we realized he had been so excited he had "soiled himself". Susie laughed and then hugged me!
The flight from Washington DC to Johannesburg was 14 hours long and crowded. Susie tried to sleep while I flipped channels on the entertainment system. The seat was tight and hard. By the end of the second film, I was starting to turn numb.
In Jo'burg we learned that half our baggage didn't make the connection. We cleared customs and ended up running for the next flight over in the domestic terminal. Two hours later, we were flying into Cape Town and a stunning sunset over Table Mountain. Old friends Keith and Barbara Mould were there to greet us and help handle an unexpectedly light baggage load. After a great dinner, we went straight to our base at the Homestead Inn and fell hard into soft beds.
Early the next morning, we were picked up and drove to nearby Township of Kayleshia where we did a show for some of the CMH clients. That's a polite way of saying, disabled kids from single-parent families in the slums. Hard flying in heart wrenching conditions.
This was our fourth visit to Peace Park. We eased the cattle out of our flying space and took stock of the situation. Winds were blasting at 50 kph (30 mph). Anchors were sparse. Kids were starting to gather. And all we had to fly was one big kite!
We pulled out the Big Bear and tied him off to a soccer goalpost. Susie took the main line and I organized the kids to help hold things steady. The turbulent winds dragged us from side-to-side and tossed children everywhere.
As we packed things away, I marveled that no one was hurt, damage was minimal (one small tear quickly patched), and that we weren't more battered and bruised.
Our bags arrived the next day and were taken straight to the nearby seaside resort of Muizenberg where the main festival would be held.
"CMH" argues that kiting lifts the spirit and brightens ones outlook. So they have worked to organize an international festival each year as part of their overall mental health message. The event offers what we think is the best program for children we've seen anywhere on our travels.
A month before, they send kite skins to local schools and invite classes to decorate them based on a general theme. Then on 'kite day', the classes bring the sails to the festival where they are assembled by volunteers into arches. Kites are judged and awards given to the winning schools. Then the arches -- 50 to 70 of them -- head for the field. Instead of 500 kids running in 500 directions with line and battered kites dragging behind, you get an organized and successful group fly.
At the opposite end of the field, we lofted a collection of showpieces and sat back to watch the crowd stream in. The festival was fenced and a 10 Rand fee ($1.50) was charged for entrance to see the kites, enjoy the displays, hear the music, and shop the craft booths. I'm told attendance was roughly 7000 each day.
As we travel our exciting planet, Susan and I observe that kiting "success" is relative. Cape Town may not be the biggest event we have ever attended, but it was the biggest ever held here. And judging by the faces of the kids spread across the field, it was the best time they had ever had.
We're home now and still in catch-up mode. Check back in a few days and we'll show you more of our South Africa trip.
Delta Sale!
We're closing out brand-new kites in old packaging which normally sell for $20 and marking them down 50%! Choose the Shadow or Hi Sky Deltas. Buy a package of ten for $100. These seven footers are loaded with extras. Each kite comes with matching fabric tails, three tail connection rings, and molded plastic spreader connections, Order now and we'll send a pack of assorted colors.
Bring a show to the next festival. Stock up for the holidays. Build a Delta Stack or Arch. Or hand them out and be a hero in your neighborhood. Supplies are limited.
This offer good until December 1 unless we run out before.

Benefits of recycling car parts to the environment
June 6, 2019
Lots of car modifications or mods, as it is frequently referred made to a lorry are made using aftermarket car parts. Simply put, aftermarket parts are those who have actually been made by a business other than the initial maker of your car. Makers parts are commonly called Initial Equipment Manufacturer. It resembles in any market if a firm is making just specific type of items they may have extra expertise than the original manufacturers therefore they have the capability to supply a far better and larger range of products such as a company specializing in performance car parts may provide better parts.
Advantages Of Purchasing Car Parts Direct From Suppliers
To start with you require being conscious that mounting an aftermarket car part might void your lorries service warranty, if there is any. Consequently, be sure to inspect your warranty papers prior to continuing to mount a car part. Second of all ensure you understand your car maker, version and year as these are the common standards made use of to check whether a part works with your car. Lastly be sure to inspect your neighborhood regulations as setting up a certain sort of part might be regarded illegal in your area of the house. When your car is severely damaged, you can seek the services of a mechanic to assess the condition of the nash metropolitan restoration parts.

One of the best areas to offer previously owned car parts is an automobile dismantler. An automobile dismantler reuses old cars. Thus, automobile dismantlers get harmed cars and trucks, used parts, etc. A mechanic can advise you pertaining to which ones are practical and which ones are not. It is great to offer just the functional parts since purchasers will not be interested in damaged ones.
Guarantee on Your Car
Some aftermarket parts can be installed by the car's owner with very little or no knowledge concerning nash metropolitan parts catalog vehicles while various other parts may require you to seek a specialist to set up the part. You should inquire from a well-informed person before acquiring an aftermarket car component. Aftermarket car parts consist of a vast array of item types such as light bulbs to air filters and turbo kits and chrome wheels. There are certain requirements which one should recognize prior to going out to acquire aftermarket car parts.

I previously posted that Kyrgyzstan enacted a 10% flat tax that took effect in 2006, followed by a 10% flat tax in Kazakhstan in 2007. To those two "stans" should be added Turkmenistan, which earlier adopted a 10% flat tax for resident individuals that took effect in 2005. The next closest "stan" to a flat tax is Tajikistan, which has two rates of 8% and 13%. Uzbekistan continues to have a much more steeply graduated system of personal tax rates, ranging between 13-30%.

Christ is risen! Truly He is risen!
The glorious resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ opened unto us the gate of righteousness. When the Psalmist says, "Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in" (Psalms 24:9), we know that this can only be the Lord Jesus Christ who may enter, for He is the everlasting door by which we, too, shall enter in Him. He is the King of glory and the gate of righteousness that leads to life everlasting. There is no other way to the kingdom of heaven other than by Him, through Him, and in Him.
"Open to me the gates of righteousness;
I will go through them,
And I will praise the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord,
Through which the righteous shall enter."
(Psalms 118:19-20)
The believers enter this gate of righteousness and life while here on earth by partaking of the Holy Eucharist in every Divine Liturgy and celebrating Christ's glorious resurrection every Sunday, which replaced the former Sabbath. This is the day in which the Lord entered into His rest having achieved salvation for the world. Every Divine Liturgy is a journey to heaven where we see, touch, and unite with the Lord. "This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it," is the beautiful liturgical chant taken from Psalm 118:24 and recited after the Procession of the Lamb in the Divine Liturgy. "Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:54).
The Lord told us that the only way to salvation is through Him. "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture" (John 10:7). Not alone, nor with any other, but with the Lord Jesus, did Demas, the thief on the right, enter into Paradise: "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). In our father Adam, we sinned and were banished with him from the garden of Eden (Genesis 3), but in the Lord Jesus, the gate of righteousness, we can enter the kingdom of heaven triumphantly in Him. He told us plainly that the way to eternal life is through Him. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (John 14:6).
At the gate of the city of Nain, life greeted death when the Lord Jesus met the grieving widow while she was on her way accompanied by mourners to bury her only son (Luke 7:11-17). Death was silenced at this gate in the presence of the Lord Jesus, the gate of righteousness. With love and compassion, the Lord Jesus reached out to this heartbroken widow to console her. By His gentle life-giving touch, He raised her beloved only son from death to life. It was through Christ Jesus alone for He is the True Physician, the Healer of our souls, the Author of life, and the only reason that this young man's life was restored. Bitter conditions in the hands of Christ the Lord are transformed to comfort and joy, and death is conquered by life through Him. "He opened the gate of Paradise and restored Adam to his authority" (Sunday Theotokia).
God is aware of our struggles and unworthiness, but His love surpasses all human wisdom. Though we do not deserve His grace, He grants us His life-giving Mysteries, an honour that not even angels can obtain. "If you love Me, keep My commandments" (John 14:15). Loving God is a decision to reject all evil. Arise from every fall by repentance and the Mystery of Confession and partake of the Lord Jesus Christ who is waiting for you upon the holy altar. We are not righteous, but He is the gate of righteousness: "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city" (Revelation 22:12).
Christ has prepared His kingdom in great anticipation to receive each one of us (John 14:3). He is the gate of righteousness and the only way into the kingdom of God and life everlasting. Through the intercessions and prayers of Saint Mary and all the angels and saints, we ask the Lord to preserve the life of our beloved father, His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, the 118th Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of the See of Saint Mark, and to keep him on his throne for many years and peaceful times.
Glory be to God, forever, Amen.

text: M**********d Feb 26, 2017 1:32 PM I've read other posts here about shingles, but I have a specific question for anyone that has *personally had shingles*.... mom found out about 3 weeks ago, after a trip to the ER with severe pain & headache that she had shingles. She went the same day she broke out in the rash & they immediately started her on meds. She got better for a few days but is now worse again. The rash had dried up, but still visible & red and she's having excruciating pain directly under the rash, located on her back near her shoulder blade. She said the pain is so bad, it takes her breath & nothing helps it. She's also afraid it could be something else because of the length of time she's had it & the severity of her pain. Is this normal? Is the pain so bad that a woman who normally has a high tolerance for pain be completely incompacitated for weeks?

What: FREE Webinar
Where: Online
When: On Demand Until May 2, 2019
Backup Power Systems for Edge Data Centers
Our society has become highly dependent on electrical power. It is the underpinning of virtually everything we take for granted in everyday life at home, work, and in many cases, public transportation. Moreover, virtually all of the critical infrastructure for communications, security, as well as emergency services and life safety, depend on power.
Data centers are an integral component of our critical infrastructure. Traditional centralized large data centers have well established redundancy classifications and guidelines for back-up power requirements. However, more recently "edge" and distributed computing has become part of the data and network architecture, as well as to meet the increasing performance demands of mobile devices. This in turn created a need for "edge" data centers which are typically smaller and are situated in different areas than larger facilities, yet they still require back-up power systems to ensure continued operational status.
Climate change in general and record weather extremes will continue to increase the likelihood of utility power interruptions, as well as risks to life and property. In this new age, 100-year events are becoming common, making it clear that essentially no place is totally immune to natural risks. Therefore, reliable back-up power has become as important as primary utility service for data centers.
In this part of our series of webinars, we will examine the considerations when specifying and selecting back-up power systems for edge data centers.
Learning Objectives
- Identify the fundamentals of data center redundancy classifications
- Evaluate back-up power requirements for containerized and modular data centers
- Recognize how edge data centers may be exposed to more frequent or extended utility outages due to remote locations
- Consider how this may impact extended fuel autonomy storage requirements

Acts of Patience by way of Prayer and Ejaculation.
I will seek unto God, unto God will I committ my cause, which doth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number. Job. v. 8, 9, 11, 16-19, 26.
To set up on high those that be low, that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
So the poor have hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth, and his hands make a whole.
He shall deliver thee in six troubles; yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a just age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his season.
I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate upon thee in the night watches. Because thou hast been my help, therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee; for thy right hand hath upholden me. Psalm lxiii. 6-8.
God restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Psalm xxiii. 3, 4.
In the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavillion; in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock. Psalm xxvii. 5.
The Lord hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heaven did the Lord behold the earth; to hear the groaning of his prisoners; to loose those that are appointed to death. Psalm cii. 19, 20.
I cried unto God with my voice, even unto God with my voice, and he gave ear unto me. In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; my sore ran in the night and ceased not; my soul refused to be comforted; I remembered God, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Thou holdest mine eyes waking; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. Will the Lord cast me off for ever? and will he be favourable no more? Is his promise clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore? Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? And I said, This is my infirmity; but I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High. Psalm lxxvii. 1-4, 7-10.
No temptation hath taken me but such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not suffer me to be tempted above what I am able; but will, with the temptation, also make a way to escape, that I may be able to bear it. 1 Cor. x. 13.
Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning; that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope. Now the God of peace and consolation grant me to be so minded. Rom. xv. 4, 5.
It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth good in his eyes. 1 Sam. iii. 18.
Surely the word that the Lord hath spoken is very good, but thy servant is weak: O remember mine infirmities; and lift thy servant up that leaneth upon thy right hand.
There is given unto me a thorn in the flesh to buffet me. For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly, therefore, I will glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For when I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Cor. xii. 7-10.
O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life. And I said, My strength and my hope is in the Lord; remembering my affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled within me. This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.
It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, said my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The Lord is good to them that wait for him; to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord. For the Lord will not cast off for ever. But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies. For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men. Lam. iii. 58, 18-26, 31-33, 39.
Wherefore doth a living man complain - a man for the punishment of his sins? O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave (of Jesus), that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past; that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! Job, xiv. 13.
Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? Job, ii. 20.
The sick man may recite, or hear recited, the following Psalms in the intervals of his agony.
O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure. Psalm vi.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed.
My soul is also vexed; but thou, O Lord, how long?
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul; O save me for thy mercy sake.
For in death no man groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim: I water my couch with my tears.
Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all my (sorrows).
Depart from me all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer.
Blessed by the Lord, who hath heard my prayer, and hath not turned his mercy from me.
In the Lord put I my trust: how say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your mountain? Psalm xi.
The Lord is in his holy temple, the Lord's throne is in heaven; his eyes behold, his eyelids try, the children of men.
Preserve me, O God; for in thee do I put my trust. Psalm xvi.
O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord; my goodness extendeth not to thee.
The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup; thou maintainest my lot.
I will bless the Lord who hath given me counsel; my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth; my flesh also shall rest in hope.
Thou wilt show me the path of life; in thy presence is the fulness of joy, at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness. Psalm xvii.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief; yea, my soul and my belly. Psalm xxxi.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
I am like a broken vessel.
But I trusted in thee, O Lord; I said, Thou art my God.
My times are in thy hand; make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me for thy mercy's sake.
When thou saidst, Seek ye my face, my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek. Psalm xxvii.
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man; thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavillion from the strife of tongues, (from the calumnies and aggravation of sins by devils).
I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes; nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplication when I cried unto thee.
O love the Lord, all ye his saints; for the Lord preserveth the faithful, and plenteously rewardeth the proud doer.
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.
O Almighty God, merciful and gracious, who in thy justice didst send sorrow and tears, sickness and death, into the world, as a punishment for man's sins, and hast comprehended all under sin, and this sad covenant of sufferings, not to destroy us, but that thou mightest have mercy upon all, making thy justice to minister to mercy, short afflictions to an eternal weight of glory; as thou hast turned my sins into sickness, so turn my sickness to the advantages of holiness and religion, of mercy and pardon, of faith, and hope, of grace and glory. Thou hast now called me to the fellowship of sufferings: Lord, by the instrument of religion let my present condition be so sanctified that my sufferings may be united to the sufferings of my Lord, that so thou mayst pity me and assist me. Relieve my sorrow and support my spirit; direct my thoughts, and sanctify the accidents of my sickness; and that the punishment of my sin may be the school of virtue, in which, since thou hast now entered me, Lord, make me a holy proficient, that I may behave myself as a son under discipline, humbly and obediently, evenly and penitently; that I may come by this means nearer unto thee; that, if I shall go forth of this sickness by the gate of life and health, I may return to the world with great strengths of spirit, to run a new race of a stricter holiness and a more severe religion; or, if I pass from hence with the outlet of death, I may enter into the bosom of my Lord, and may feel the present joys of a certain hope of that sea of pleasures, in which all thy saints and servants shall be comprehended to eternal ages. Grant this for Jesus Christ's sake, our dearest Lord and Saviour. Amen.
O eternal God, thou hast made me and sustained me; thou hast blessed me in all the days of my life, and hast taken care of me in all variety of accidents; and nothing happens to me in vain, nothing without thy providence; and I know thou smitest thy servants in mercy, and with designs of the greatest pity in the world; Lord, I humbly lie down under thy rod: do with me as thou pleaseth; do thou choose for me not only the whole state and condition of being, but every little and great accident of it. Keep me safe by thy grace, and then use what instrument thou pleaseth of bringing me to thee. Lord, I am not solicitous of the passage, so I may get to thee. Only, O Lord, remember my infirmities, and let thy servant rejoice in thee always, and feel and confess and glory in thy goodness. O, be thou as delightful to me in this my medicinal sickness as ever thou wert in any of the danger of my prosperity; let me not peevishly refuse thy pardon at the rate of a severe discipling. I am thy servant and thy creature, thy purchased possession, and thy son; I am all thine; and because thou hast mercy in store for all that trust in thee, I cover mine eyes, and in silence wait for the time of my redemption. Amen.
Most merciful and gracious Father, who, in the redemption of lost mankind by the passion of thy most holy Son, hast established a covenant of sufferings, I bless and magnify thy name that thou hast adopted me into the inheritance of sons, and hast given me a portion of my elder brother. Lord, the cross falls heavy and sits uneasy upon my shoulders; my spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak: I humbly beg of thee that I may now rejoice in this thy dispensation and effect of Providence. I know and am persuaded that thou art then as gracious when thou smitest us for amendment or trial, as when thou relievest our wearied bodies in compliance with our infirmity. I rejoice, O Lord, in thy rare and mysterious mercy, who by sufferings hast turned our misery into advantages unspeakable: for so thou makest us like to thy Son, and givest us a gift that the angels never did receive; for they cannot die in conformity to, and imitation of, their Lord and ours; but, blessed by thy name, we can: and, dearest Lord, let it be so. Amen.
Thou, who art the God of patience and consolation, strengthen me in the inner man, that I may bear the yoke and burden of the Lord without any uneasy and useless murmurs and ineffective unwillingness. Lord, I am unable to stand under the cross, unable of myself; but thou, O holy Jesus, who didst feel the burden of it, who didst sink under it, and wert pleased to admit a man to bear part of the load, when thou under wentest all for him, be thou pleased to ease this load by fortifying my spirit, that I may be strongest when I am weakest, and may be able to do and suffer every thing thou pleased through Christ, who strengthens me. Lord, if thou wilt support me, I will for ever praise thee; if thou wilt suffer the load to press me yet more heavily, I will cry unto thee, and complain unto my God; and at last I will lie down and die, and by the mercies and intercession of the holy Jesus, and the conduct of thy blessed Spirit, and the ministry of angels, pass into those mansions where holy souls rest and weep no more. Lord, pity me; Lord, sanctify this my sickness; Lord, strengthen me; holy Jesus, save me and deliver me. Thou knowest how shamefully I have fallen with pleasure; in thy mercy and very pity, let me not fall with pain too. O let me never charge God foolishly, nor offend thee by my impatience and uneasy spirit, nor weaken the hands and hearts of those that charitably minister to my needs: but let me pass through the valley of tears and the valley of the shadow of death with safety and peace, with a meek spirit and a sense of the divine mercies; and though thou breakest me in pieces, my hope is thou wilt gather me up in the gatherings of eternity. Grant this, eternal God, gracious Father, for the merits and intercession of our merciful High-priest, who once suffered for me, and for ever intercedes for me, our most gracious and ever-blessed Saviour Jesus.
O most blessed and eternal Jesus, thou who art the great physician of our souls, and the Sun of Righteousness arising with healing in thy wings, to thee is given by thy heavenly Father the government of all the world, and thou disposest every great and little accident to thy Father's honour, and to the good and comfort of them that love and serve thee; be pleased to bless the ministry of thy servant in order to ease and health, direct his judgment, prosper the medicines, and dispose the chances of my sickness fortunately, that I may feel the blessing and loving-kindness of the Lord in the ease of my pain and the restitution of my health; that I, being restored to the society of the living, and to thy solemn assemblies, may praise thee and thy goodness secretly among the faithful, and in the congregation of thy redeemed ones here in the outer-courts of the Lord, and hereafter in thy eternal temple for ever and ever. Amen.

Humidifiers started life as devices that help reduce the affects dry air can have in an indoor environment. They were initially fairly large, yet while the technology used was effective, they could only be used in one location. They didn't offer portability benefits we see from manufacturers today.
Portable humidifiers are becoming increasingly more popular because people are looking to improve the quality of the air they breathe not just in one room, but in their office or RV as well. They work in the same way as larger models, except they're designed to deliver levels of humidity to smaller areas, making them perfect for enclosed spaces.… [ Read More ]
When looking to buy a small humidifier, it's important to check how easily it can be transported. For example, is it lightweight and easy to carry? You should also check for general safety features such as tip-over switches and cut-offs if the unit becomes too warm.
Top manufacturers of small and portable humidifiers are Sunpentown and Air O Swiss. Both companies offer great features and use the latest technology available on the market today.[ Minimize ]

The Department of Defense is seeking help in tracking down photos of five Vietnam Veterans. They are trying to create an online database for Vietnam veterans killed in action. There were 26 Vietnam veterans from Martinsville and Henry County killed during the war.
The Bassett Historical Center is currently working with the capital to find the remaining photos of Charles Edward Manns, Lewis Dean Lamkin, Jerry Allen Dillard, Samuel Harrison Easley, and David Wayne Wilson. If you have photos of any of these men, the Bassett Historical Center would love to have one.

Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan has confirmed reports that he was once an Israeli spy and arms dealer. Milchan — whose credits include "Pretty Woman," "12 Years a Slave" and Darren Aronofsky's upcoming "Noah" — told "Uvda," an Israeli TV show: "Do you know what it's like to be a 20-something-year-old kid [and] his country lets him be James Bond? Wow! The action! That was exciting." The 68-year-old once worked for spy agency Lekem — also known as his country's now-defunct Bureau of Scientific Relations — in the 1960s to secretly cultivate Israel's nuclear arms program. "When I came to Hollywood, I detached myself completely from my physical activities to dedicate myself to what I really wanted — filmmaking," Milchan added. "But sometimes it gets mixed up." He asserted, "I did it for my country, and I'm proud of it." His long-rumored spy background was detailed in a 2011 book, "Confidential: The Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan."
