On Kelley's Wii:
Kelley's maintaining my current star count, but she's a little behind. I finished it — getting all 120 stars(!!) on 2/24. In fact, I even started to play as Luigi, getting 20 stars as him to match Kelley's current Mario-played total. Some of those levels are WAY easier the second time around!
This game is awesome. Pretty much every review I've seen talks about how it's accessible to hardcore "gamers" and non-gamers alike. You'll also see tons of praise for the impressive visual aspects of the game as well as its ingenious level design. I wholeheartedly agree, so there's not much else I'm gonna be able to add that's going to break new "review" ground here.
I'm hoping to finish this soon, so I can move on to one of these:
Board/Card Games:
Mayfair The Settlers of Catan Board Game
Kelley introduced me to Settlers and I am totally HOOKED! I have no idea how I had never heard of this award-winning game before, but if you're looking for a fun way to spend 1-2 hours with a few of your friends (up to 6 total if you get the expansion pack), definitely check out Settlers!
In addition to the base Settlers game, we've recently started playing the Seafarers of Catan Expansion and it's totally fun.
Mike Groen won the first two games (both 6-person mega events) we played. We played again on 2/9 with Sarah and Tim. Sarah took the first game and I was able to win the last one. LOVE the different scenarios you can play with this one.
I also picked up the Settlers of Catan Card Game and Kelley and I played for the first time on 2/10. It's a two-person variation of the board game that comes with a pretty intimidating rule book. Once you get started though, everything starts to make sense. I can see this getting some definite attention over the winter months!
Lost Cities is a really simple, quick-to-play game that ultimately includes a bunch of strategic decisions (and a certain amount of luck) to win. Kelley and I have enjoyed playing this one a lot — especially since a match (three games) takes only 15-30 minutes.
Still waiting for the time to play:
Other stuff I've purchased and may play sooner or later:

I just finished reading Life of Pi by Yann Martel. It was truly a fascinating story and a fairly good page-turner. In the end, the author explains the story quite well, so that even a dense guy like me can see some of his points.
This is not the story of pi (3.14159…), but rather the story of Piscine Molitor Patel, a young boy in India whose family owns a zoo. Piscine goes by Pi in order to avoid being teased because his name sounds like 'pissing.' The thrust of the story line is that Pi's family decides to sell the zoo and move from India to Canada. Along the way, the cargo ship that they travel on sinks, and Pi finds himself on a lifeboat with a variety of animals, including an orangutan, a hyena, a zebra, and a Bengal tiger. If that doesn't get your interest, I don't know what will.
Pi is an interesting young boy who is a boy of faith — he claims to be a hindu, muslim, and christian all at the same time. I do not think the Mr. Martel's point is that all three religions could co-exist, but rather that the truths that he points out in the novel could apply to any of those three religions, or indeed any religion. During the book, one man does not believe Pi's story, because he simply can't believe it. Pi tells him that the things of faith are also unbelievable, but that doesn't make them untrue.
Overall, this was a very enjoyable story — one I would recommend.

It's … been a while.
And a lot has happened. Mostly good.
* * * * * * *
Many years ago, a friend got involved in something called "The Jesus Seminar", which eventually produced (among other things) The Gospel of Jesus.
My friend commissioned Cheryl Jacobsen, well-known calligrapher and friend of mine from my UI Center for the Book days, to do a hand-lettered edition of the book as a gift for Robert Funk, the founder of the Seminar. The work was done on calligraphic vellum, and when it was completed, I did the binding. This is it, which I have used as the main image on my business homepage for at least a dozen years:
And here's the descriptive text from my site:
The Gospel According to Jesus: Full leather contemporary case binding, shown here as tooling is being done. Collaborative work with calligrapher Cheryl Jacobsen of Iowa City. Sewn on linen tabs, cover mounted to text block using adhesive. Covered full in burgundy Chieftain Goatskin, blind tooled using a hot brass folder.
It's a lovely, but very simple and traditional binding.

"How far did you drive?" she asked, a noticeable touch of twang in her voice.
"From Columbia. Missouri."
"That far?" She looked honestly surprised. "Y'all are very, very kind people, to drive that far."
* * * * * * *
A couple weeks into the New Year, a Facebook friend forwarded a pic to me. It was of a medium sized dog which kinda-sorta looked like a German Shepard.
"They're looking for a home for this pup. She's here in the KC area."
* * * * * * *
Thirteen years ago, we adopted a stray. A stray we named 'Alwyn'.
He was a great dog.
And he did a lot to help heal me, following the closing of our art gallery the previous spring. I was deep in the depressive trough of my bipolar cycle, feeling like I had failed. Having a new pup to love and train helped pull me out of that darkness.
And saw me through the many troubled times ahead, being a care-giver for my mother-in-law through the arc of Alzheimer's, with all the stresses and demands that included. There's nothing quite like a brisk walk with the dog for clearing your head. And the routine of it, walking a mile or so every morning, probably helped keep me alive as well as sane.
Alwyn died suddenly and unexpectedly when he was about 8 years old. Since he was a mutt and in good health, we had expected to have him for at least another four or five years. But it was not to be.
I grieved for a long time.
Then, a year or two ago, my wife and I decided that we were ready to welcome a new dog into our lives, and that we would keep our hearts open to that possibility should one come along who needed a home.
* * * * * * *
I passed the picture along to my wife. "What do you think? Her name is 'Ramali', and she's from Kuwait."
She thought the dog looked like a good candidate.
I got in contact with the folks from Puppy Rescue Mission. Ramali was still available. We decided to apply for adoption.
It took a week or so, with the application, and discussion, and background checks and everything. We had someone come look over our home and make sure it was suitable (fenced yard, decent neighborhood, no evidence that we were running a meth lab or conducting animal experiments, etc). The folks at the rescue were polite, helpful, and thorough. A few days later we drove to Kansas City and picked her up from where she was being fostered. Here she is on the trip home:
Ramali was about 14 or 15 months old, and hadn't had the best life. She'd come over to the States with a service member, but things didn't work out. After bouncing around a bit, she came to the attention of the the rescue, thanks to the microchip she had, and had been transferred to the foster home while they sought to get her a permanent place.
On the application for adoption, there were the expected questions about our experience with animals, previous pets we'd owned, and our thoughts about training and discipline. We'd filled all that out with confidence that we'd be able to deal with whatever challenges Ramali might have — both my wife and I had always had dogs, and I had always had a great deal of success at working with dogs to train them, whatever their background. We expected that while Ramali might have some issues due to her previous home life, that we'd be able to work through them without too much a problem.
We were wrong.
* * * * * * *
Well, we were right, for the most part. There were some problems she had that we were able to work through. She was a sweet pup, eager to please, though high-energy. She just needed a stable home and regular exercise, combined with consistent training and attention. Within the first couple of weeks we had gotten past the worst of it, and she was learning to be well-behaved while walking on a leash, or playing, and was making real progress on almost all fronts.
The one problem was her response to cats. To our cats inside the house. To the neighbor's cats she saw through the window. To cats she saw on our walks. At first I thought it would just take a little work as she adjusted to living in a home with cats, and that as she settled into some stability, the problem would pass with regular discipline. That had always been both mine and my wife's experience in introducing dogs into a home with cats, or cats into a home with dogs. After a week or two everyone would calm down, and they'd get along pretty well from there. I expected that the same tactics would work with Ramali's problem with our cats.
It didn't.
In fact, it got worse over time.
I started reviewing online resources about training a dog to deal with this problem. I consulted friends with experience having both cats and dogs. From all those resources, it looked like we were doing the right things, and that if we stuck with it, it'd work eventually.
It didn't.
Finally we consulted our vet of 20 years for his thoughts. After discussion with him, he recommended an animal behaviorist in the area who has a great reputation for working through such problems. We got in contact with her clinic, and after a long discussion they said that they probably could help us with Ramali, but that it was likely to take months or even years to succeed.
That's when we told the rescue that we just couldn't keep her. It wouldn't be fair to our cats, who had basically taken up permanent refuge in the climbing tree I had constructed for them last year, any time Ramali was in the house and not shut up in her crate for sleeping at night. It wouldn't be fair to Ramali, who would have to be kept on a close leash indoors at all times to prevent her from attacking the cats until the training could change her behavior. Ramali needed to be rehomed, someplace where there weren't cats, and where she could have a sane and normal home life. The folks at Puppy Rescue Mission agreed, and set to work to find her another home.
* * * * * * *
They did find a good home for her, one without other pets. In North Carolina. Arrangements were made for transport. We said we'd be willing to drive her to Nashville (about halfway), where she'd be put up in a pet hotel overnight until the second half of her journey could be done the next day.
We got to the pet hotel about 2.5 hours late, due to a massive traffic jam an hour or so north of Nashville. But Ramali had been a good girl, and stayed pretty calm and relaxed through it all. We got her situated inside the kennel, then were chatting with the owner before we got back in the car to go to our hotel.
"How far did you drive?" she asked, a noticeable touch of twang in her voice.
"From Columbia. Missouri."
"That far?" She looked honestly surprised. "Y'all are very, very kind people, to drive that far."
"She deserves it," I said. Which was true enough. But I had also done it for my own selfish reasons. And to pay an old debt.
I hate to fail at things. But still, being human, and ambitious, I do fail.
Alwyn had helped save me after a previous big failure. Adopting him had been mostly about healing myself.
Adopting Ramali had been about healing her. And though we couldn't keep her, we'd made progress in healing her. Sometimes, all you can do is be part of the chain; doing what good you can and then passing along the person, or pet, or thing, to the next link in the chain. Driving to Nashville was my way of closing that loop the best I could.
Goodbye, Ramali, now known as Pepper. Have a better life.

I sewed up a book yesterday.
* * *
It's been a rough year.
Oh, a good one, in many ways. The delightful trip to Wales was certainly wonderful. And I was pleased to finally wrap up our two-year work on the brick walkway; I recently used it, and it was nice to see how it has settled solidly after a couple of months weather. There have been other highlights, time spent with those I love, sharing & caring.
But it's been a rough year. Mostly, because back in early spring I started my slow bipolar descent, and then got stuck stumbling along the bottom of my personal trough for the last six weeks or so. And, while I haven't talked about it (or anything else) much here, the political situation has been extraordinarily depressing. It's been a weird combination of things I have long dreaded and things I was writing to warn people about in St Cybi's Well, and after significant effort to re-write the draft of that book to reflect the new political reality I found myself without the energy or inclination to continue. I felt paralyzed.
* * *
But, as these things go if you are lucky, the wheel continued to turn.
Even if the progress is steady, and consistent with my previous personal experience, it'll be some 4 – 6 months before I completely climb out of the depressive part of my bipolar cycle.
But I sewed up a book yesterday. This one, for the first time in at least a year and a half:
Yeah, it's one of the premium leather bindings of Communion of Dreams.
For whatever reason, completing those books got mixed up emotionally with completing the writing of St Cybi's Well. I think I understand it, but I don't think that I can explain it. Well, I understand it now. At least part of it.
That's how you solve art, sometimes. And how you walk out of depression: one part at a time, one step at a time.
The writing wants to start again.
In the meantime, I sew books.
Happy New Year.

About 13 months ago I wrote the following:
But redoing a 300'+ length of brick walkway is no small task. To do it correctly would require a lot of work and a fair amount of expense for proper landscape edging, landscape fabric, gravel/chat, and sand. And if we were going to go to the trouble of redoing it, we wanted to do it correctly and expand it a bit.
As noted in that post, we (my wife and I) didn't expect to finish the entire length of the walkway last year before winter set in. But we did get about 180′ of it done.
And this summer, after our various trips and other obligations were completed, we got back to the project. A few days ago I was able to post these pics to my Facebook page:
As you might guess, that's where the walkway ends, some 320′ from where it began. If you look carefully, you can see our house hiding behind some trees at the top of the second image.
It was a *lot* of work. No surprise there. But I found it interesting to estimate (with reasonable accuracy) some of the numbers involved to get a scale of the project. We used about 25,000 pounds of crushed limestone. Some 2,500 bricks (most first dug up from the old walkway, supplemented by some salvaged brick from another neighborhood building tear-down). And about 1,600 pounds of sand. I have no idea how much old, too-damaged brick and dirt I dug out of the old walkway, but it was substantial enough for a good start to a landscape berm we're going to put in along one edge of the walkway, as seen on the side of this image:
* * *
When I wrote the blog post linked above, I noted that I was probably at about the bottom of my mild bipolar cycle. It runs about 18 month from trough-to-trough, or peak-to-peak, so that would mean I'm currently somewhere between a manic high and a depressive low, but heading down. That feels about right, and fits with the onset of cool weather hinting at the winter to come.
I don't look forward to that. Wrestling with the black dog is never easy.
But I now have a new path to walk, when I need somewhere for my feet to take me. A path which was constructed with much sweat, some blood, and a whole lot of love. A path which respects the past, but builds on it, extends it, and makes it more durable, whatever comes. That helps.

The eighty-something man fumbled with the pocket knife he had carried his whole life. His hands trembled with age, rage, and fear, but if the hulking stranger refused to leave his house, well, then by God he'd force the man to leave!
The stranger easily took away the knife, and told the man to go back upstairs. Then he sat down on the mechanic's stool next to his motorcycle and began to weep.
I was about 14, and had just witnessed age-related dementia for the first time.
The hulking stranger was my uncle, whom I had come to live with. The elderly man was his grandfather. We were at his grandparent's home, using the garage under the house as a warm place to get a little work done on his bike. He and his grandparents were close, always had been. He had lived with them for a while when he was young.

President Trump is certain that he was cheated out of a popular election mandate due to voter fraud. Almost no one else agrees, and even members of his own party who are responsible for elections at the state and local level have said that there is virtually no evidence of actual fraud.
The President has also claimed that his inauguration had more people in attendance and watching around the world than any previous. The best evidence and estimates available from multiple sources do not support this claim.
I could go on.

I remember Martha Sr getting fixated on things which were weird, unpredictable. Fixated in such a way that no matter what we tried to say or do, she was certain that we were wrong. Or just lying to her. Or something.
It was almost always some strange idea or memory or object which would catch her attention seemingly out of the blue and often at the most inconvenient times. The idea that the strawberry seeds in her yogurt were necessary for completing a crossword puzzle, so she had to pick them out and keep them. Or that she was going on a train trip, and had to make sure to go get her tickets right now. It drove us completely nuts, and was one of the more difficult challenges of being care-givers. We'd try to distract her with other things, or explain that we already had her tickets and she didn't need to worry. Sometimes that worked. Sometimes she'd go on and on and on about whatever it was which had captured her attention, returning to it for days on end.
* * *
In the aftermath of the presidential election, many people who had supported Secretary Clinton were shocked, stunned, at the outcome.
Some started looking for ways to challenge the results. First there was an effort to get the Electoral College to not affirm Donald Trump as the winner, on the basis that Russia had influenced the election. Then there was a hope that the House of Representatives would not confirm the results of the Electoral College vote. Then there were challenges made to whether President Trump could hold the office, since he was in violation of the Constitution.
I could go on.
* * *
It seems like the long-respected norms of civic behavior are finally starting to break down. They've been stressed for a very long time, like a marriage which has gone badly wrong, but is held together out of fear for what would actually happen if one partner were to confront the other over perceived slights or suspected betrayal.
But now someone has had enough, and said words which cannot be taken back.
The shouting, the screaming, the breaking of china in anger and frustration has begun.
Young children stand in the doorway to the kitchen, tears streaming down their face, unsure what this means or what will happen next.
* * *
Someone punched a neo-Nazi. Plenty of people cheered. It's hard not to cheer when Nazis get punched.
The day after the inauguration, millions of people marched in protest of the new president and his administration. Plenty of people cheered. It's hard not to cheer the affirmation of civil rights and political empowerment.
The day after that, a top-level presidential advisor ill-advisedly used the term "alternative facts" when disagreeing about the turnout at the inauguration. Plenty of people jeered at her for doing so. It's hard not to mock something straight out of 1984.
The day after that saw the start of a number of Executive Orders and memoranda signed by President Trump, putting into motion the changes which he and other members of his party had promised. Plenty of people cheered to see the change they wanted starting. Plenty of people jeered both the spirit and the letter of the changes.
* * *
I'm not saying that President Trump has age-related dementia. Not even the first signs of it. I'm a bookbinder, not a doctor, and am in no way qualified to make such an assessment.
And I'm not saying that the rhetoric and actions from those who oppose the new administration are equivalent to the rhetoric and actions of those who have supported it.
I am saying that things have changed. I think that we are on the precipice of something akin to Heinlein's "The Crazy Years". Things have changed so much, and so quickly, that I have had to go back and make substantial revisions to St Cybi's Well. Because what before was a challenge to the reader's 'suspension of disbelief' has been completely superseded by our reality. It's not the president who is showing signs of dementia — it's our society.
And I am saying that when you accept and embrace the use of violence against a political opponent, you open yourself up to the use of violence against you by your political opponents. Because there are always justifications and rationalizations for such use, and human history is filled with the resultant wars civil and decidedly uncivil. Be very careful what you wish for.

2016 was odd. Just plain odd.
On the one hand, I had the same dumpster-fire of a year that everyone had, in terms of notable deaths, bizarre & unexpected election results here and abroad, and surreal news & social trends.
On the other hand, I'm alive. Which is something of a small (technological) miracle.
I now understand better (thanks to more discussion with my doctors, research, and experience) what happened with my heart, and what it really meant. Turns out that I didn't have any plaque build-up even in the convoluted artery in question, as I initially thought. No, it was just that badly kinked, and probably had been all my life. I had started to notice it just because of normal aging, meaning that the normal parts of my heart were slowly getting weaker.
In the last six months or so I have finally been able to strengthen the 1/3 of my heart which had never had proper blood supply. Meaning that now I am actually in better cardiac health than I have ever been before. I walk three miles most mornings (5-6 days a week, usually), and don't feel the slightest bit fatigued from it. The other parts of my 58-year-old body may limit me, but my cardiac condition isn't a problem at all. Part of me wonders what it would have been like to have had this kind of stamina when I was young and athletic. Another part of me realizes that those limitations helped me develop awareness and self-discipline which I may have missed, otherwise.
Related to that, as mentioned in this post, early last year our financial situation stabilized for the good. We still need to be reasonably prudent about how we go through life, but I no longer feel as if I am hanging on by my fingernails sometimes. Without that change, I may not have felt secure enough to have my heart checked out when I did — meaning that I was very much at risk for the slightest little blood clot to trigger a massive heart attack.
Unrelated to any of that, the election lead-up and results also proved to be both a blessing and a curse for me. I was astonished at the results of both the Brexit and US presidential elections (and no, I'm not going to argue the point in comments — so just refrain from making any on this topic), yet it solved a problem for me with writing St Cybi's Well. See, in the alternate time-line of Communion of Dreams, prior to the onset of the fire-flu, the US had become an authoritarian, semi-theocratic state. But I was having a really hard time explaining how we had gotten to such a point when actually writing SCW; everything I came up with just seemed too outlandish for the willing suspension of disbelief on the part of the reader.
Well, that's not a problem any longer. No, I'm not saying that I think that the US is headed for an authoritarian, semi-theocratic state … but because of the rhetoric and rise in power of some groups both in the US and the UK, that is no longer an unimaginable future. As a result, I have been revising the finished chapters of SCW to reflect these new insights, and I think that the book will be *much* stronger for it.
So yeah, I have really mixed feelings about 2016.
Oh well, I suppose that at least I'm around to have them. And that's a good thing.
Happy New Year. Remember, today (and the first of every month until I say otherwise), both Communion of Dreams and Her Final Year are available for free download.

The past few months have been … eventful.
* * * * * * *
A couple of weeks ago I got back to work on St Cybi's Well. Yeah, the break since I finished Chapter 14 was much needed, as I had hinted in my last cluster of blog posts at the end of May.
Why? What happened?
Well …
… in no particular order:
- Discovery, and subsequent treatment, of a major cardiac health problem.
- Completion of a full course of cardiac rehab.
- A substantial change in our financial situation resulting from the sale of property we owned.
- A bunch of resultant legal and investment research, planning, and changes which every adult should do but few of us ever get around to actually completing. Something about almost dying tends to focus the mind on such matters.
- A couple of extended out-of-state trips.
- My starting to train someone from the MU library staff in proper conservation techniques a couple of afternoons a week.
- A complete new computer system & software upgrade, with all the fun of transferring archives and working files.
And then there's all the usual business of living and working. Having a couple of months of my life sucked up by dealing with the cardiac problems & treatment meant a lot of changes and trade-offs … but it sure as hell beats being dead from a massive sudden heart attack.
* * * * * * *
So, a couple weeks ago I went through and re-read the entire text of SCW to date, then started working to pick up the story again and bring it to a satisfactory conclusion. Here's an excerpt from the next section:
Darnell looked out Megan's bedroom window, across the little lane into the large field beside the Tanat. The field, where so recently cattle peacefully grazed, was now a small village of tents and temporary structures. Most prominent among them was a large marquee someone had found and brought from a nearby town. Make-shift walls had been constructed of large plastic-wrapped round bales of hay from down the road, their tough skin making them weather and even somewhat fire-resistant. The marquee was the main recovery center, where people would be brought from the church after healing, allowed to emerge from the deep sleep at their own pace.
He turned and looked at his sister, who was sitting on the side of her bed. "There's no reason for you to get up. We can handle it. Go back to sleep."
There was a faint blue-white shimmer to her skin which never left her now. It wasn't like she was glowing, exactly, but more like she had a permanent echo of the healing energy which she had used so much in the past couple of weeks. She shook her head. Darnell wasn't sure whether it was in response to his comment, or just an effort to clear away cobwebs of sleep. "It's better if it comes from me. I'm known as the Guardian of the Shrine. That carries some official weight with the Church."
* * * * * * *
I got my garden in late this year. No surprise, given how things went with spring and the early summer. So my tomato plants were not as far along as they could have been when the first waves of heavy storms hit in June. Since then we've had fairly regular poundings of storms. And it looks like the tomatoes are almost at the end of their producing for this year — a full month or so early. But between what I harvested, and extra tomatoes picked up at the farmer's market, I've put up about 60 pints of chopped tomatoes. Not quite as much as I would normally like to have, but not bad considering the situation.
And my habanero plants seem to be doing OK this year. Won't be a bumper crop, but it ain't nothing.
* * * * * * *
The past few months have been … eventful.
And a lot of things which normally get done, didn't. Or were handled in a more superficial way than I would usually do.
But that's OK.
Jim Downey

INFORMAS in Ethiopia is run by Dr Kaleab Baye, Ursula Truebswasser and Elise Talsma
A pilot study has been conducted between October and December 2018 in one public school of Addis Ababa. The school food environment has been assessed for different types of food outlets and food advertising, using the food promotion module. All food outlets and food advertising has been mapped and availability of different food groups and processed foods has been assessed in a subset of different food outlet categories. This assessment of the objective food outlet has been combined with a qualitative study on the perceived food environment of students, using Photovoice.
Together with the Bureau of Education, this pilot study will be scaled up to ten public and private schools in Addis Ababa. Findings shall help improve existing school nutrition policies and programmes.

On Saturday 8th February, the Burton launched a new display on a most significant element in Bideford's history, The Story of Bideford Black, a coal-based pigment found in the Bideford area. Work on the project to create the display started in January 2013, and has been supported by a grant of £8,700 awarded under the All Our Stories funding programme run by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). Combined with a legacy grant gifted to The Friends of the Burton from Peggy Lines, the project has recorded, documented and explored Bideford Black resulting in the new permanent display.
Over 70 people attended the launch of the new display which was officially opened by Cllr Simon Inch, Mayor of Bideford and Cllr Tony Inch, Chair of Torridge District Council, with speeches from Tamin Daniel, South West Heritage Lottery Fund Committee Member and Pam Biggs, Chair of the Friends of the Burton. Out thanks to all involved especially those who donated items, stories, memories, facts etc. as well as the local artists, primary schools and local expertise and lead researcher, Pete Ward and learning co-ordinators, Julian Vayne and Sadie Green.

Telling Our Story: Burton Art Gallery and Museum celebrates £8,700 Heritage Lottery Fund grant to support Bideford Black project.
We're really pleased to announce that the Burton is one of the first organisations in the UK to receive a Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) All Our Stories grant. This exciting project, The Story of Bideford Black, will be led by The Burton, who have been given a grant of £8,700 to find out more about the rich history of Bideford Black and its relationship to the area.
Bideford Black is a naturally occurring pigment, which was mined for over 200 years, until 1969. It is a unique pigment found only in Bideford, used by the local ship building industry, for tank camouflage in WWII, as a dye and artist's colour and even by Max Factor in make up production.
All Our Stories funding, is a brand new small grant programme, launched earlier this year in support of BBC Two's The Great British Story – it has been designed as an opportunity for everyone to get involved in their heritage. With HLF funding and support, community groups will carry out activities that help people explore, share and celebrate their local heritage.
The programme and HLF All Our Stories has proved a real hit and now The Story of Bideford Black is one of hundreds of successful projects around the UK to receive a grant. The Burton will be working with the local community to research, gather and document stories and share these memories and experiences, through a Show and Tell at the Burton on March 20th, and at other community based workshops. The project will also collect information from local historians and geologists. Stories, information, images and artefacts gathered will also be shared via a blog, website and social media pages. The Burton invites local people to volunteer their time and help to gather the stories. All of this will contribute to the production of a specially designed new permanent exhibit within the Burton Art Gallery and Museum and the production of a teachers' pack for work in schools.
Councillor Jane Whittaker added "this project and the funding secured for it is another triumph for the Burton and for Bideford as well. There are a wealth of stories to be told about the town's significant past and this one of them. The story behind the rise and fall of Bideford Black will now be told and of equal importance will be available to future generations".
Commenting on the award, Miranda Clarke Visual Arts Manager at The Burton said: "It's fantastic news that we have been awarded this grant and we can't wait to get started. Older members of the local community still remember Bideford Black, but if we're not careful to record and document these memories and collect relevant artefacts that first hand information will be lost forever. For me, what's even more exciting is that Bideford Black is not only part of our local heritage but it's also an artists material, in fact a number of local artists, such as Pete Ward, who inspired this project, still use Bideford Black in their work. So it has a direct connection with the current day. It's so important to teach and share our heritage with future generations and this project will add to our knowledge and preserve history."

Letters to the Editor: Beware of Trump propaganda
In 1933, in Germany, a certain authoritarian leader had a similar problem with the free press. His solution was to create a Propaganda Ministry to be directed by Joseph Goebbels. Any viewpoints that threatened the ruling party beliefs were then censored or eliminated from all media.
Is that what is next? A Propaganda Ministry that will replace a free press? Wake up, America! It is no longer Republican versus Democrat. It is a democracy versus a dictatorship.
Hunter Taylor, Foster City
Myriad threats
President Trump may proclaim that this country's free press is the enemy of the American people, but that is only one of the most egregious of his countless and endless false assertions.
A free press is rather the best ally of citizens in a democracy because with this abomination of an administration we'll never get the truth from our liar-in-chief, any of the spineless sycophants surrounding him in his palace of lies, or the state propaganda machine masquerading as a news organization at Fox.
Our president is trying to destroy our free press because he fears it as an impediment to furthering his autocratic and authoritarian goals. We must protect our freedoms of speech and press to ensure that this 229-year-old noble experiment in democracy is not undone by this petty tyrant.
Philip Shoemaker, Pittsburg
Speaking up
I was disappointed to see that The San Francisco Chronicle did not join 300 other newspapers and media outlets around the country today and speak up for a free press. I subscribe to daily newspapers as a way to support American democracy. If you don't speak up, please let your readers speak for you.
Carla Woodworth, Berkeley
Acts of desperation
At first I, too, was dismayed by The Chronicle's decision to not join the 300-plus media outlets in a coordinated effort to protest Trump's war on them. ("Why The Chronicle did not join the crowd," Editor's Note, Aug. 17). After further reflection, I realized that giving a rational response to an irrational person is an act of futility ... except when it isn't.
In this case, Donald Trump and his media attacks are anything but irrational. He knows the investigations into his relationship with Russia are anything but a "hoax," "witch hunt" or "fake news." He knows the truth of his own guilt and is well aware that in this democracy, as Congress sits on its hands, the only threat to expose his crimes, malfeasance and treason is the mainstream media. His actions are, in effect, not delegitimizing the MSM but validating them. The MSM is armed with the truth, and the truth is his biggest enemy and ultimately will be his undoing.
I would assume John Diaz knows this and has chosen to not waste a single keystroke to participate in this fabricated conflict created by an increasingly desperate man.
Cory David, South San Francisco
Support Trump
President Trump has always condemned fake news, not factual news.
It is widely reported that the president is anti-immigrant, when he is actually opposed to illegal immigrants.
And when someone has no better argument, they scream racist, misogynist, etc.
I did not vote for former President Obama and truly hoped he would do a good job. In my mind he failed miserably but while in office, he was still my and our president and I chastised anyone who said different.
I was highly dismayed when Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, started chanting "Impeach 45" right after the election. Nobody did that to Obama after his apology tour or after he went on the mantra "You didn't build that, the government did."
It is a shame that the media is not concentrating on the accomplishments of President Trump.
Bob Crowell, San Jose
Angel of Soul
Concerning "Eternal r-e-s-p-e-c-t" (Editorial, Aug. 17): One can almost imagine the late Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, now leading a Hallelujah Chorus of angels in the heavens above. Meanwhile, we mortals on Earth below must wrestle with the "twin demons" of global warming and an anti-science U.S. government. The word that comes to mind when describing the current administration's regard for its citizenry is spelled d-i-s-r-e-s-p-e-c-t.
Terrence Williams, Berkeley
Fitting tribute
Dear Aretha, I'll say a little prayer. Thank you.
Ignacio Dayrit, Berkeley
Aretha's impact
A few years back I was a bit mean to a lady friend's kids and she said even kids deserve respect. So right away I could hear the voice of Aretha Franklin singing "Respect."
Yes, Aretha Franklin, you sure had an impact on me, and wouldn't it be wonderful if our POTUS would have some RESPECT? Rest in peace, Aretha.
Henry Karnilowicz, San Francisco
Revoke me, too
Any idea how one might get one's security clearance revoked by the president? I would dearly love to have my name on that list. I believe I have met all qualifications: I have spoken Ill of him. I have behaved irrationally when hearing of his latest foolishness. I have described his behavior as treasonous. Please publish the requirements, as I am quite certain there are others who would appreciate the opportunity this presents. Thank you.
Jude Ataie, San Ramon
Next up in D.C.
Since Mr. Trump's commemorative military parade has been postponed, there will be ample time to decide where the replica Lenin's Tomb will be erected.
Fred Weesner, Oakland

Friday roundup of environmental news and commentary of the week
China environment officials in Xi'an detained for data fraud [Reuters]
A shocking reveal this week as Xi'an officials were detained for tampering with air quality monitoring equipment. The officials are allegedly responsible for falsifying data and stuffing air quality sensors with cotton in order to elicit lower PM2.5 readings.
As incomes rise in China, so does concern about pollution [The Conversation]
Incomes are rising in China, but personal satisfaction is not and pollution is at least partly to blame. As people's quality of life increases, so does their desire to see environmental action.

Steve McRae, a well-known professional hater of Christians & Believing Jews, has recently morally condemned the Red Pill Religion team.
Problem 1: This is a man whoo has insulted multiple Red Pill Religion team members who are Child Sex Abuse survivors. He also routinely trades in demonstrable pseudoscience, demonstrable pseudohistory, and demonstrable lies about the nature of religious belief and its history. Why would anyone care about such a man's moral condemnation?
Problem 2: McRae and his group of ideological fellow travelers and hangers-on are also people who routinely deny that there is any objective morality anyway.
So our answer to McRae and his fellow moralizing bullying cultists and pseudoscholars is simple: you have no moral leg to stand on condemning anyone. You mock, abuse, and marginalize the vast majority of the world's Child Rape victims, you use and abuse other Child Rape survivors to score political points, and you routinely hang out with pseudoscientists and pseudohistorians peddling easily debunked, propagandistic garbage.
As a child molestation survivor myself–at the hands of Secular authorities–I have no particular distress being morally condemned by McRae, or his friends/groupies. These are people who pretend to be nice but will lie about you or mischaracterize you and even insult you, publicly, when you're not there to defend yourself. These are people who routinely mute, or mock, anyone who challenges their views in any serious way. They are people who pretend to represent "Science" when they routinely get contemporary mainstream science wrong, and who pretend to represent "empathy" and being "nice" while they routinely cruel condescending mocking and hateful towards people who don't share their ideological worldview.
The fact that they're also cruel to victims of Child Sex Abuse who don't happen to be politically "worthy" of McRae & co's selective empathy should also tell you a lot.
Those who defend Ideological Secularism while condemning Christians for their much smaller sex abuse problem are more than hypocrites. They're hatemongers, period. We sex abuse survivors are overwhelmingly more likely to be abused by Secular authorities than religious ones. So when Anti-Religious zealots feel entitled to morally condemn everyone else, the rest of us have no obligation to listen or care.
These are people who will never subject themselves, or people or things they like, to the same standards they apply to all religious people.
And they're also, it bears repeating, people who will routinely tell you that morality is entirely subjective or a social construct.
In short, being called Morally Bankrupt by people who have no morals is not particularly upsetting.
PS: This is an open offer to anyone in McRae's orbit who is taking this guy seriously to come onto a stream and talk to us. We offered McRae friendship and dialogue and discussions on how to make Atheist-Theist relations better and how to do scientific debates in an interesting and truly useful way, but no dice. Still, we're happy to talk to anyone who was on this stream, or listening to it, who wants OUR perspective.

Although high heels are extra fashionable, most people can live without them. High heels can be very bad for your body. Experts have said that a three-inch heel stresses your foot seven times more then just a one-inch heel. Heels can also put a lot of extra stress on your knees which can make you more likely to have more problems with arthritis in your knee.

We are inviting proposals for presentations at The 12th Nordic Conference on Bilingualism (NCB12), to be held in Stockholm, Sweden, June 10–12, 2020. The conference is organized by the Centre for Research on Bilingualism, and the venue will be Campus Frescati, Stockholm University.
Since the conference is almost 3 months away, we will, at this point, avoid making hasty decisions about cancellation. Being incurable optimists, we're hoping that the virus situation will change for the better during the next two months. If the situation has gone back to normal, or close to normal, with national and international travel and meeting bans having been lifted by early May, we will go ahead according to plan.
Registration is now open.
The presentations of the conference are requested in three formats: (1) oral presentations in parallel sessions, (2) posters, and (3) colloquia. These may or may not address the general conference theme.
Kenneth Hyltenstam, Brigitta Busch, Eric Pakulak, Sari Pietikäinen and Panos Athanasopoulos.
It is a commonplace that bi-/multilingualism is a complex phenomenon that can and should be explored from many angles. This conference seeks to take advantage of this fact by demonstrating the evident value of diverse angles in multilingualism research as well as by interrogating the potentials of x-disciplinarity more generally.
Local Organizing Committee and Scientific Committee.
Biennial Report 2017–2018, Centre for Research on Bilingualism, Department of Swedish Language and Multilingualism.

Are you having trouble finding a particular breed of dog or cat in Berlin?
Well, you don't have to worry anymore. Pet Shelters is offering you one of the most extensive pet shelter directories on the internet. With our help and support, you will be able to locate every pet shelter in Berlin. We offer the most comprehensive directory of pet shelters in Berlin.
When it comes to pet adoption, many people prefer private breeders because they are unable to find a reliable shelter in Berlin. You may also visit local shelters in Berlin and adopt the pet that you like. It will not only cost you less but it will also help save an innocent life.
Thousands of pets are abandoned by owners every year. These pets end up on roads where they get in accidents or catch diseases. Many of these pets die from starvation, waiting for someone to show mercy. The pets that are found on roads are rescued by animal shelters, which are then put up for adoption.
By adopting one of the pets from a shelter in Berlin, you will help make space for more abandoned pets in the shelters. You will also give a new life to a pet that could've been euthanized.
Berlin CT 06037
We are a foster-based rescue group dedicated to finding furever homes for all of our little hidden treasures. We strive to ensure that all adoptions result in optimal conditions for both the adopted feline and the adoptive owner/family.
