Every month, we share a snapshot of Shakespeare in performance across the country. What's onstage in January? We visit our theater partners to find out.
Among the many treasures of the Folger is a lavish "Cosway binding" that includes five unique miniatures by a 20th-century British artist, "Miss C. B. Currie," based on the images from the book itself. One of the oddest to modern eyes is the all-white bust from Stratford.
Recent news about proteomics (the study of proteins) in the humanities has included a Folger Shakespeare Library project, irreverently called Project Dustbunny, that studies proteins in rare books to learn about those who once handled or read them.
Inspired by a real-life episode, Simon Mayo's novel 'Mad Blood Stirring' tells the powerful story of a Shakespeare production by African American prisoners of war at Dartmoor prison in England, near the end of the War of 1812.
Happy New Year! We picked out four awful ideas for New Year's resolutions from Shakespeare's "Love's Labor's Lost" and added some hints for improvements.
Enjoy our five most popular #FolgerFinds posts on Instagram of items from the Folger Shakespeare Library collection, from a silhouette of a 'Midsummer' scene with Bottom and Titania to vintage photos of 19th-century actress Julia Marlowe.

Principal's Update- March 20, 2020
Dear Addison Families,
To: Community Members in the Addison School Neighborhood
Provded below is information about the Addison School construction project.
Planning for a proposed modernization started a few years ago after an anonymous donor made an offer of a generous gift to fund the project; this process included extensive school and community input meetings, architectural design, approvals from the Division of the State Architect, construction bids and final approval of the donor's generous gift. The Palo Alto Unified School District Board of Education gave final approval for the project on May 8, 2018, and also approved the contractor for the project.
Since then, the school has been moving quickly to allow the contractor to demolish and remove the old multipurpose building this summer while the students are not on campus. The last day of school is Friday, June 1, and construction will start on Monday, June 4. We estimate the project will take 27 months to complete, ending in August 2020.
At the very beginning, a construction fence will be put in place to allow construction equipment and vehicles to be parked on the campus close to the building being demolished. The demolition process has been designed to minimize noise, dust and debris, to the extent possible.
We do have a plan for keeping the school community and neighbors informed about developments as the various phases of the project unfold. As a first step, the school prepared a flyer with a rendering of the building that will be delivered to homes in the area the week of May 21.
In addition, we have just developed a construction web page on which ongoing information will be posted: https://addison.pausd.org/construction. You can also go to the Addison website's Home Page (https://addison.pausd.org) and find a link in the upper right corner that will take you to the construction page. There are a few things already posted and we will build this page out and keep it updated.
And, as part of the construction process, the district will be holding weekly meetings with the contractor to assure the work is progressing on schedule and to resolve any issues that arise. The principal will attend these meetings, along with the district's construction manager and architect, thus enabling her to keep people informed and to bring any concerns to the attention of the construction team.
We will continue to post updates as construction proceeds.

Chicago's biggest fashion brand name with a huge price range
Akira is (arguably) Chicago's most popular fashion brand, or at least the most visible. Its red awnings can be seen from blocks away, and if there's a fashion show happening somewhere, chances are Akira has something to do with it.
So what's the huge appeal? The price range suits everybody. You'll find dresses here for $30 and $300 sitting next to each other on the racks. There are separate storefronts for men's clothing, women's clothing and shoes. (Shoe brands include Harajuku Lovers, Jessica Simpson, Sam Edelman, Frye, Michael Kors and Rocket Dog. Talk about variety!)

Modern Cameos with a TwistMonday, January 10, 2011
While working on holiday orders in December, we worked on several by the very talented Camille Cooper Photography. I love how she's taken the old cameo and given it a modern twist with her silhouette images used in our photo jewelry...

WEST POINT — Investigators from the Calaveras County Sheriff's Office are investigating the circumstances surrounding a shooting that left a man dead early Friday morning east of West Point.
Deputies responded to reports of a shooting at 5:15 a.m. in the 2900 block of Oak Haven Lane, an isolated dead-end street off of Bald Mountain Road. Initially, they reported it to be near Wilseyville.
Deputies learned that a resident had shot a man who confronted residents outside the home and refused to leave, Sgt. Anthony Eberhardt said.
The man who was shot died at the scene, authorities said. Detectives were still trying to identify him Friday afternoon, Eberhardt said.
No arrests had been made in connection with the shooting, Eberhardt said. Detectives were trying to determine if the shooting was justified.
Eberhardt said he did not know if any of the residents of the home were injured during the confrontation with the man who was shot. He said detectives were still investigating.

Clayderman was a child prodigy at tickling the ivories, accompanying in his youth celebrated French crooners Johnny Hallyday (born Jean-Philippe Léo Smet, 1943–2017) and Michel Sardou, as well as working as a bank clerk to make ends meet, before achieving fame with the song Ballade pour Adeline, composed by Paul de Senneville and Olivier Toussaint in 1976. Pagès' name was changed to Clayderman (his great-grandmother's surname) for the release of the single to avoid mispronunciation of his real name by audiences abroad.
Eschewing traditional musical forms, Karlheinz Stockhausen began composing in the early 1950s and produced 376 performable works, and is renowned for his groundbreaking experimental work in electronic music, for introducing controlled chance (aleatory techniques or aleatoric musical techniques[1]) into serial composition, and for musical spatialization or Raummusik [German, lit.

The Women in the Castle
By Jessica Shattuck
Narrated by Cassandra Campbell / 12 hours 38 minutes
Three women, haunted by the past and the secrets they hold
Bookseller Recommendation
The Women in the Castle
"Women in the Castle tells the stories of two German women widowed during World War II. Their disparate backstories reveal so much about the German reaction to Hitler, Nazism and the War both during Hitler's rise and after Germany's demise. For one woman, Hitler's vision (at the beginning) of a strong nation built on physical fitness and outdoor activities was so appealing until reality showed a more sinister motivation. Another woman was a resistor from the start, but even she paid a high price for her righteousness. These lives, so different, yet so intertwined are fascinating to behold. A new twist on an old story."Phyllis, Wellesley Books
Set at the end of World War II, in a crumbling Bavarian castle that once played host to all of German high society, a powerful and propulsive story of three widows whose lives and fates become intertwined—an affecting, shocking, and ultimately redemptive novel from the author of the New York Times Notable Book The Hazards of Good Breeding.
Amid the ashes of Nazi Germany's defeat, Marianne von Lingenfels returns to the once-grand castle of her husband's ancestors, an imposing stone fortress now fallen into ruin following years of war. The widow of a resister murdered in the failed July 20, 1944, plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, Marianne plans to uphold the promise she made to her husband's brave conspirators: to find and protect their wives, her fellow resistance widows.
First Marianne rescues six-year-old Martin, the son of her dearest childhood friend, from a Nazi reeducation home. Together, they make their way across the smoldering wreckage of their homeland to Berlin, where Martin's mother, the beautiful and naive Benita, has fallen into the hands of occupying Red Army soldiers. Then she locates Ania, another resister's wife, and her two boys, now refugees languishing in one of the many camps that house the millions displaced by the war.
As Marianne assembles this makeshift family from the ruins of her husband's resistance movement, she is certain their shared pain and circumstances will hold them together. But she quickly discovers that the black-and-white, highly principled world of her privileged past has become infinitely more complicated, filled with secrets and dark passions that threaten to tear them apart. Eventually, all three women must come to terms with the choices that have defined their lives before, during, and after the war—each with their own unique share of challenges.
Written with the devastating emotional power of The Nightingale, Sarah's Key, and The Light Between Oceans, Jessica Shattuck's evocative and utterly enthralling novel offers a fresh perspective on one of the most tumultuous periods in history. Combining piercing social insight and vivid historical atmosphere, The Women in the Castle is a dramatic yet nuanced portrait of war and its repercussions that explores what it means to survive, love, and, ultimately, to forgive in the wake of unimaginable hardship.

Telltale CEO has confirmed that the Game of Thrones video game will in fact have a second season. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Kevin Burner said this about the upcoming season of the game:
"We've been planning the second season all along but I really shouldn't be revealing more than that. It's not unusual for our games to exist longer on whiteboards and sticky notes and in scripts longer than they do in traditional game production. It's incredibly similar to how TV often spends so much time in preproduction and planning before moving into actually shooting. It's from then on that we take the live development aspect into play, observing the audience and their feedback as we're able to adjust and build upon the experience along the way. While we cannot say exactly how far along season two is right now, we can say that there's never a shortage of sticky notes on the walls around the studio."

The time has finally come! After skipping out on having a conference at E3 this year, professional heart-breakers Telltale Games have finally dropped their 2017 update straight out of Comic-Con and it's pretty big. In a style similar to Nintendo's, they've released a video announcing new seasons of three beloved titles and that one of them will be a series finale. So grab a box of tissues (and/or a stress-ball), these are the three titles coming out over the next 12 months.
- Bruce Wayne's Telltale story continues.
While I personally haven't gotten around to playing my copy of Season 1, Telltale has announced that they will drop the first episode of Season 2, The Enemy Within, on August 8th. That's in less than three weeks! Considering what the third announcement is, I didn't even think they were going to jump straight into this one so soon.
Season 1 had put players up against classic Batman villians: Two-Face and the Penguin, but I'm super excited for Season 2 as they're pitting Batman against one of my absolute favourite DC villains (yes of the whole DC universe), The Riddler, while hinting at the possibility of Mr Wayne facing someone who I've heard is a rather significant character in Season 1, John Doe. This announcement has definitely gotten me wanting to go and binge-play Season 1. Let's hope Season 2 starts off with less bugs than season 1 did.
2. Clementine's story is coming to an end.
This one was a real shock to me as I'm sure it was for a lot of people.The New Frontier, Season 3 of this series just came to its heart-wrenching end less than two months ago, but yet Telltale has decided that Season 4 of The Walking Dead will be the last of the series. They really like to rip the band-aid off, don't they? On the plus side, we'll be playing as Clementine once again, following her search for A.J., her ward who was taken away from her before the events of Season 3, and her decisions thereafter.
Will they finally be reunited? What will Clem do if she finds him? How will Telltale break our hearts in this series finale? We'll have to wait and see. Episode 1 will be released sometime in 2018.
- The Big Bad Wolf is finally back!
This is probably the title I'm most excited about, fellow Mundies. Hearing Adam Harrington do the voice of Bigby to announce this gave me chills. It's been almost four years since the release of Season 1 and Telltale Games have finally announced that The Wolf Among Us will return with a second season, with a release in 2018. While not much has been said in regards to what the next season will be about, but it seems like we will definitely will continue our journey with a battle-wounded Bigby, sheriff of Fabletown. How far ahead from the end of Season 1 we will be, we are yet to find out.
If you haven't played it yet, you really should pick up a copy and dive right in. I must warn you, this one has more plot-twists than their Game of Thrones series.
More information should be coming out soon! In the meantime, Telltale has a Humble Bundle sale going on so if you need to catch up with their titles, especially the ones with new seasons coming up, this is a good way to get cracking.

Ward did say Murhder and Xhex had to work something out, but she wasn't very clear. Really just joked about how much we all blood thirsty and wanted more Murhder in our lives. Know Xhex will have to explain to JM about Murhder before it is all said and done.
So glad I could share all the info with everyone! I'm very lucky to only be about a 5 hour drive from her signings.

Are you seeking a meaningful career path centered on making a positive impact in your community? Do you want to help motivate people to change their lives for the better? Let compassion evolve into action by earning your substance abuse degree online at SNHU.
The issue of substance abuse is a stark reality for communities across America:
While an immense burden to society, substance abuse also takes a toll on individuals and families. With the conversation shifting from creating tougher regulations and punishments for drug offenses to how to address the nation's substance abuse problem, the need for highly educated community workers with a background in substance abuse has increased.
For those passionate about helping substance abusers on the road to recovery, Southern New Hampshire University now offers the Bachelor of Arts in Human Services with a concentration in Substance Abuse. This specialized online program serves as an important educational first step toward becoming a drug and alcohol counselor.*
*This program does not guarantee licensure; requirements vary by state.
SNHU's substance abuse degree online provides the training and tools you need to support sufferers of alcoholism, drug addiction and other substance use disorders as they endeavor to restore their lives and relationships.
As a private, nonprofit university, SNHU has one mission - to help you see yourself succeed. The benefits of earning your substance abuse degree online at SNHU include:
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has projected that demand for substance abuse and behavioral disorder counselors will grow 22% through 2024*. This much faster than average growth stems from the growing recognition of the widespread toll that substance abuse is taking on society.
With an SNHU substance abuse degree online, you'll be qualified to provide entry-level services to individuals, groups and families in residential addiction treatment facilities, outpatient addiction programs, state drug courts, prisons, mental health centers, community health centers and private practice. Most of these are full-time positions.
Potential job titles include:
The Bachelor of Arts degree in Human Services with a concentration in Substance Abuse, offered by Southern New Hampshire University, does not directly lead to licensure. It does provide a significant portion of the substance abuse coursework most often required for licensure. Students seeking licensure and/or certification may be required to complete additional coursework and will be required to complete fieldwork as prescribed by each state. Most states also require a passing score on a licensing exam.
The licensure process and educational requirements for drug and alcohol counselors vary from state to state. This program does not directly lead to licensure.
It is the student's responsibility to contact their state board or agency for additional information regarding the licensure process and educational requirements. If the student moves to another state, the requirements for licensure will likely be different from the state where the student currently resides, and the student is responsible for determining the licensure requirements in the state to which he/she relocates. Southern New Hampshire University does not guarantee that the completion of this program will result in state licensure or certification.
To help guide you through this process, SNHU has provided information on individual state licensure boards.
Coursework for the BA Human Services concentration in Substance Abuse explores the trajectory of diagnosing, treating and reintroducing a recovering individual to a healthy, sustainable life. You'll learn about screening techniques, prevention strategies, pharmacological factors, and more.
The substance abuse degree concentration has been designed with the International Certification & Reciprocity Consortium (IC&RC) in mind to teach you the 12 Core Functions of a drug and alcohol counselor, including:
Core courses in the human services degree curriculum highlight the importance of law and ethics, confidentiality and case management. The addition of the substance abuse concentration includes new courses that focus on each step of the prevention, intervention and rehabilitation process. The courses in the substance abuse degree online concentration are taught by instructors who are experienced in substance abuse counseling and have worked in the field for years.
The substance abuse degree online culminates in a capstone experience that allows you to apply what you've learned to the real world.
SNHU's bachelor's in substance abuse program includes:
General Education Program
Our programs are designed to equip you with the skills and insights you need to move forward. In recent years, employers have stressed the need for graduates with higher order skills - the skills that go beyond technical knowledge - such as:
All bachelor's students are required to take general education classes. Through foundation, exploration and integration courses, students learn to think critically, creatively and collaboratively, giving you the edge employers are looking for.
Total Credits: 120
Tuition rates for SNHU's online degree programs are among the lowest in the nation. We offer financial aid packages to those who qualify, plus a 30% tuition discount for U.S. service members, both full and part time, and the spouses of those on active duty.
*Tuition Rates are subject to change and are reviewed annually.

O'Connor Connective Reaches Fifth Year of Business
What started out as an idea to offer senior executives a sounding board for strategic communication decisions has evolved into a full-service consultancy. O'Connor Connective, moving into its fifth year of business, has rapidly added services, renovated a historic building for its office, and added consultants to meet the growing needs of organizational leaders. Today, they launch a new web site to showcase their growth and services.
O'Connor Connective owner and founder, Bridget Krage O'Connor started the company with leaders in mind.
"I learned early in my career that the person at the top has the weight of the world on them. That person is asked to be the voice of the organization—positioning the vision, defining the culture, and ensuring growth," said O'Connor. "That can be a lonely place. Our job at O'Connor Connective is to be a sounding board and strategy partner to help the CEO, superintendent, president or chairman define success and then execute throughout their organization so to reach their goals."
O'Connor Connective has led organizations like Elevate97 through full company rebranding efforts; Howard-Suamico School District through referendum communications and the Green Bay Dioceses through communications and marketing decisions.
When O'Connor Connective was launched, O'Connor herself felt that education would be a primary market for her company's services—and it has as the company provides marketing and strategic communications counsel to colleges, universities and pre-k through high school environments looking to grow enrollment and raise dollars, such as University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, Green Bay Area Catholic Schools (GRACE), Bellin College, St. Norbert College and Notre Dame Academy. A welcome addition is how manufacturing, distribution, transportation, retail and non-profit clients see the value of O'Connor Connective.
"We're grateful to our clients and their referrals. They have encouraged us to grow and offer even more," said O'Connor. "I felt when we launched that it would take the community to help us build a business and that has certainly been true. We have found the region to be an outstanding place to start and expand."
The company began when Bridget O'Connor took a leap of faith and made the decision to leave her post as vice president of enrollment management and communications at St. Norbert College to launch a consultancy. The first year, O'Connor committed to consulting independently. By year two, another consultant was added and an historic building located on Main Avenue in De Pere was purchased and remodeled to become the company's office and a place for clients to come for strategy sessions. By year three, more staff, clients and services emerged. Today, the company has five team members and contracts with over a dozen freelancers and sub-consultants based on client needs. In 2015, the company received the Entrepreneurial Award from the Greater Green Bay Chamber.
"Our vision is to be a trusted partner of forward-thinking leaders so to build extraordinary organizations," said O'Connor. "Our mission is to create results through strategy that communicates. Every day, our team works hard to make that happen."
Consultant Susan Baranczyk, who joined the firm after 18 years at Integrys as Business brand manager, leads merger and acquisition brand strategy as well as culture and employee communications for the consultancy. Rachel Sonnentag, previously a director of admission and marketing at Mount Mary University, leads the education and non-profit consulting provided by O'Connor Connective. Lindsay Arndt joined O'Connor Connective this year with agency social media and marketing expertise, having most recently served as a project manager at Imaginasium and earlier at a Minneapolis-based company, Periscope. Aimee Massie is the organization's office manager who previously was a staff accountant at KerberRose.

Chhattisgarh wants public sector firms to spend on developmentJuly 24th, 2010 - 10:25 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, July 24 (IANS) Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Raman Singh Saturday said three major public sector undertakings (PSUs) having interests in the state for decades, spend less than three percent of their profits for local development.
Addressing the 55th meeting here of National Development Council - the country's top policy forum, Singh demanded that the three PSUs should increase their development expenditure in the state up to 20-25 percent in a phased manner.
The three PSUs are: the South Eastern Coalfields Ltd (SECL) which is the highest profit-making subsidiary of the Coal India Ltd, the National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) and the Steel Authority of India Ltd (SAIL).
"The PSUs spend only small amounts of their profits toward local development, which needs to be corrected urgently," said Singh, who is heading the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in the mineral-rich state.
"The Supreme Court, in one of its landmark judgments known as 'Samatha Judgment' has laid down the guiding principle in this regard saying that the companies working in the Scheduled Areas should set a part at least 20 percent of their profits for local infrastructure building and other developmental and welfare activities," he said.
"The amounts being spent for this purpose presently are even less than 3 percent which need to be immediately raised to 10 percent and finally up to 20-25 percent in stages," he said.
"The factual position in regard to a malicious propaganda that one of the causes of Left-wing extremism in Chhattisgarh is the mining activities undertaken by private and multinational companies is that over 86 percent coal and over 98 percent iron ore mining in the state is undertaken by the central PSUs," he said.

Cheena Sandwich Recipe:-
I have another sandwich recipe which is my favourite one. I must say guys its not only healthy but also very delicious. Cheena is a main ingredient in our recipe.
So, let's get straight to the recipe …
Dear Reader,
Wash your hands with soap before touching your face. Stay indoors. Isolate. Stay safe.
INGREDIENTS (1 Cup=250ML) :-
Materials for preparing Cheena:-
- A clean cotton cloth
- A medium saucepan
- A heavy bowl or a plate
Ingredients for Cheena :-
- A litre of fresh cow's milk
- A tablespoon lemon juice or 3 to 4 tablespoon of yogurt (dahi) add more if needed
Sandwich Ingredients:-
- Bread 8 slices
- Ghee for cooking
- Cheena 1 cup
- Capsicum 1 (big),finely chopped
- Onion ½ cup,finely chopped
- Tomato 1 cup,finely chopped
- Green chillies 3-4,finely chopped
- Fresh coriander leaves 4 tbsp,finely chopped
- Salt as per taste
- Black pepper 1 ½ tbsp
How to make Cheena at home :-
Cheena is the coagulated milk. We should use cheena fresh and don't even refrigerate it because it will change the texture and taste of the cheena. Remember to use fresh milk usually from a litre of cow's milk we should get about 350 gms. of cheena.
Steps :
- Boil milk in a saucepan.
- Add lemon juice or yogurt.Stir well.
- Now you'll see the milk is getting curdled(seperated into lumps).
- When you see greenish whey, pour it into a pan with a thin cotton cloth and then bring together the edges of the cloth and squeeze it.
- You can use this whey to make chapatis and even pulaos because the whey is nutritious.
- Rinse the cheena in water to get rid of the smell.
- Cheena is ready to use
- Take a medium size container put cheena, capsicum, onion, green chillies, tomato and mix it.
- Now add salt and pepper to the mixture.
- Then take a slice of bread and put some ghee on it.
- In this slice spread the mixture and garnish it with coriander leaves.
- Cover it with another slice of bread while putting some ghee inside.
- Roast the sandwich from both sides.
- Cut it into two halves.
- Serve hot with tomato sauce.

I had put one of Josh's songs on a mix on my iPod awhile back. Listened to the mix for the first time the other day, and when the song popped up, I realized I hadn't written a message this year. It's still hard to know what to say, other than I miss Josh and am glad we have his music which will live on forever.
Date: Fri Feb 11 06:55
A few days ago, I dreamt I was a giant walking among the stars, Josh's music surrounding me, propelling me forward, and I was so happy. His music has been with me since I was a teenager, through my college years, and early adulthood. For the past eight years, I constantly turn to it as I struggle with chronic health issues. Thank you, Josh, for the joy and peace of mind your music continues to give to me and so many others!

Quotes About Anger
•"Learn this from me. Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."
Mitch Albom
•"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."
― Buddha
•"To be angry is to yield to the influence of Satan. No one can make us angry. It is our choice. If we desire to have a proper spirit with us at all times, we must choose to refrain from becoming angry. I testify that such is possible."
Thomas S. Monson
•"Anger is a valid emotion. It's only bad when it takes control and makes you do things you don't want to do."
Ellen Hopkins
•"Don't hold to anger, hurt or pain. They steal your energy and keep you from love."
Leo Buscaglia
•"If you try to get rid of fear and anger without knowing their meaning, they will grow stronger and return."
Deepak Chopra
•"Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us."
Steve Maraboli
•"Patience is the direct antithesis of anger."
Allan Lokos

•"If you take action while you are mad, you will always make the wrong decision."
Robyn Wheeler
•"There is nothing worse than having an enemy who is a total loser. It's incredibly frustrating when seeking revenge against one, because you come to the realization that there is really nothing you can do to make the person's life worse than it already is. They have nothing to take, there is no way to screw them over if you have been their victim. It's maddening."
Ashly Lorenzana
"It is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
― Wayne Dyer
•"Divorce lawyers stoke anger and fear in their clients, knowing that as long as the conflicts remain unresolved the revenue stream will keep flowing."
Craig Ferguson
•"Bad luck with women is a determined man's road to success. For every affliction, he makes, out of indignation, yet another advancement in order to exceed the man that the woman chose over him.

Criss Jami
•"Anger's like a battery that leaks acid right out of me
And it starts from the heart 'til it reaches my outer me"
Criss Jami

Only beware the ends to which it is turned, and know the means will truly determine the outcome."
― Derek Donais

Yes, Folks, there is a difference between Nay-Sayers and Bray-Sayers.
Nay-Sayers are all about the "No" in order to keep the same amount of Control they feel they have always had within Systems that maintain their ability to Control all of the Controls they have accrued for the Controlling Nay-Sayers over time. They don't like Change. They don't want or feel they Need Change, because they are very Con-Trolll-ingly Comfortable with their established Status Quo that Protects them and their Con-Troll-ing Interests. Who really cares about anyone else ? They don't. They fully approve of and support Attitudes, Systems and Institutions that shove out EveryOne else who is Different or Differing.
Bray-sayers, like Donkeys who protect Herds of Sheep, Goats and Cattle, Bray to Warn the whole Environment that something UnSafe, Dangerous and Deadly is within that Environment. Then they Hunt the Death-Bringer Predator down, Run the Death-Bringing Predator down and break the Death-Bringer's neck, back or head to Protect the Herd.
The Donkey is a Herd Animal, and the Donkey doesn't care if a Herd member differs from or differs with him or her. The Donkey will Fight to Support and Protect the Life of Every Herd Animal within its Environment from Any and All Death-Bringers. All for One and One for All !
Progressive Democrats are predominately Bray-Sayers; not Nay-Sayers.
Like the Majority of Americans, the Bray-saying Progressive Democrats want the Herd to:
Have Medicare for One and All.
Have the Rich and Corporations pay higher taxes to help nurture and support
Progressive and Expansively Fair and Just Cultural and Societal
Rules and Laws, Systems, Institutions and Futures of and for
One and All.
Be paid a Living Wage for the Work they Do so that they don't have to
work two or three other jobs just to meet so-called Normal (overly
inflated by the Rich and Corporations) Monthly Bills.
Establish and Work Hard on the Green New Deal in order to Save,
Nurture and Sustain their Planetary Home – Earth, and All of Her
Flora and Faunna.
Have Freedom, Equality and Opportunities in All Things for EveryOne that Do
Harm to None !
Have No For Profit (for a handful of Rich and Corporations) Prisons.
Have No Mobster, Gang-a-lang- Wanna-Be's (and Being) Me-Me-Me and
Only Me's who choose to run damaging Self-Serving Criminal
Syndicates for President or King or Queen or ChairMan or ChairWomen
Or CongressMan or CongressWoman or Autocratic Dictator…….
Power over any City, State, Region or Nation of the Whole Wide World !
Have a World filled with Compassionate Action (Individually and
Communally). Not a World filled with Fear-Based Hate for AnyOne
Or Anything Different like:
I'm Such-and-Such
and you're black, brown, yellow, red, white, blue, purple, green….
Or I'm Such-and-Such and you're Christian, Muslim, Buddhist,
Hindu, Jewish, Voo-doo with Hoo-Doo…..
Or I'm Such-and-Such and you're Russian, Israeli, Palestinian,
American, Middle Eastern, African, Asian, Australian, Chinese,
Antarctican, North Pole Artican, Shan-gri-lalian…..
Or I'm Such-and-Such and you're HeteroSexual, Bi-Sexual,
HomoSexual, Tri-Sexual, Multi-Sexual…….
Or I'm Deservedly Such-and-Such and you're deservedly
such-and-such, so Me, MySelf and I can treat you as UnJustly,
UnEqually, Dis-crimination-ally, Badly, Hatefully and
Murderously as Me, MySelf and Me-Me-Me so Choose,
So that Me, MySelf and I Always Win and You Always Lose…
Or 'Different You' is a Yuck and, because I Fear you, and so therefore
have Chosen to Hate you in order to make MySelf feel better about
Me and Not 'Different You', I will Con-sider MySelf Superior to
'Different You', because you are Not like Me-Me-Me ! Different You
Does not look like Me-Me-Me ! 'Different You' does not Do things
The Way Me, MySelf and I Do or like to have them Done ! So,
'Different You' does not deserve the same Freedoms, Equalities or
Opportunities the Me-MySelf and I Do ! And because 'Different You'
Are UnWorthy, Valueless, Meaningless, Invisible, Subjects of
Subjugation and Subservience and ultimate EnSlavement from
Me, MySelf and I – your Supreme Superior Me, MySelf and I's
Created Systems and Institutions, Cultural and Societal Rules
And Me,MySelf and I's Human-made Laws must keep 'Different You'
Under the heel of Me, MySelf and I's heavy Scoot-Boot and snubbing,
stubbing Thumb ! Tah-dah-dumb !
Have a Progressive Future in which All Peoples can raise their Children
and their Children's Children to Happily, Decently, Freely, and
Expansively thrive, and not be forced into Suppressed-Lives that
collapse into and onto ThemSelves.
A Progressive Individually and Socially Conscious Future in which
NoOne and NoThing is Originally forced into slow-burning De-
bilitation and Dis-Appearance by crushing, mutilating UnJust and
ImBalanced Societal Attitudes, Systems and Institutions created by
UnJust and ImBalanced Me, MySelf and I's.
Yes, Folks, there is definitely a Difference between Nay-Sayers and Bray-Sayers ! Long may they Bray, and Bray and Bray and Break-neckingly Work for the World's Herd and Positive Preservation and Future Hopes, Dreams, Probabilities and Possibilities ! Yes, long may they Individually and Socialistically Work and Bray !

Harrisburg Housing Authority Taps Honeywell for Affordable Housing Project
April 29, 2014
Honeywell Building Solutions is helping Harrisburg Housing Authority (HHA) lead an initiative to refurbish and reopen the vacant Jackson Towers apartment complex in Harrisburg, Pa., to provide valuable affordable housing for local residents.
The 159-unit Jackson Towers has been vacant for more than nine years. The housing authority will finance a majority of the $21-million renovation through guaranteed energy savings from previous Honeywell-led improvements at other properties — $10.8 million in anticipated savings in total. Those prior efforts have helped HHA save nearly $1.3 million in annual utility and operating costs through efficiency and comfort upgrades in more than 1,700 housing units.
The new project was made possible after changes to Pennsylvania legislation in 2010 that allows housing authorities to extend the terms and associated guarantees of existing performance contracts by up to eight years, for a maximum of 20 years. HHA can leverage the continued savings to help restore Jackson Towers as a result.

A great story from one of our adopters. Worth a read!
Edith came to Nantucket with her puppies in the December batch of Little Mountain Rescue dogs. She was a great mom to those pups. At one of the meet and greets she delighted visitors by running around pulling off all of the "Adopt Me" bandanas from her puppies! She was soon adopted by a young family with an infant son, Charlie. Just recently, Edith was called into action when Charlie got too near the stairs at his grandmother's home. While the mom ran to grab Charlie, Edith leapt to her feet in front of the stairs, blocking his way. Even as the child pushed at her, she stayed stock still until the mom could swoop him up. We knew she was a good mom, and she continues this calling with her new charge, Charlie.

Prepare Today for Future Caregiving Challenges – for Yourself or a Loved One
JOYN's Behavior Wealth Management model teaches that your wealth is much more than just money. A key element of wealth is it helping you nurture relationships with your spouse or partner, parents, siblings and other family members.
If you haven't already, you probably someday will face difficult conversations, and complex and frightening decisions, about caregiving for an aging family member. You may need to address: Where he or she should live? Which daily activities are still practical and safe? What kind of specialized treatment is needed and how to pay for it?
"Many of our clients are part of a first-time 'sandwich generation' that will help care for parents who will live for long periods of time with chronic illnesses and dementia while having children at home," notes JOYN CEO David Geller. "They are desperate for more information about what to do."
These topics were addressed at JOYN's first ever Conversations on Caregiving Panel event held November 29, 2018.
The evening was designed to help our community find tactics and actionable information for family caregivers either during or beginning their caregiving planning. The panel presentation will feature recognized experts providing clarity on the tough subjects and the unknowns that drive our sense of fear and anxiety in caring for our aging loved ones.
The expert panelists represented a wide array of caregiving sectors, including elder law, geriatric care, real estate, and wealth management fields. Collectively, they have over 97 years of experience in their fields. JOYN's investment advisors and outside partners offer consultation and analysis that can help you more confidently address these elder care issues. In addition to the panel, you can garner benefits from our other workshops, such as our next Seasons of Care Workshop on Jan. 31.
Here are a few of the challenges the panel discussed.
Long Term Care Insurance
The evening featured an emphasis on long term care insurance. While the need for, and cost of, nursing homes and other care sources continue to climb, there are some encouraging developments for you in the U.S. marketplace, including
1) "More insurance companies are creating and selling hybrid products that add long term care coverage as a rider to their whole life policies or annuities," Charlie says. These hybrids often give you the choice of collecting long term care benefits at one time as an indemnity, rather than in smaller amounts as you are billed by a care provider.
2) "A number of life insurers also now offer long term care policies with guaranteed premiums and caps on how long they will be paid," Charlie adds. That could lead to more people buying coverage at the recommended age 50.
3) More than 40 state insurance departments have passed rules to hold down the size and frequency of long term care premium hikes.
Approaching a Parent About Change
What are some warning signs that should push you to initiate a conversation with a parent about investigating an assisted living or nursing facility? A few are if he or she:
▪ is cooking less often and has a poor diet.
▪ often gets lost driving unless a passenger is along.
▪ is spending less time out of the house with friends.
▪ shows increasingly poor grooming.
▪ has a hard time keeping up with basic finances.
▪ is more forgetful and has difficulty following instructions.
"Once you get to the table, it is critical to talk with and not at a parent," says Sherri Selman, co-founder of NexSeason Transitions, an Alpharetta senior real estate advisory business.
"You've got to make sure that the elder loved one feels included in this conversation," Sherri says. "Kids can't tell them what to do, or you can get into a battle of wills where nothing gets accomplished."
Choices at the End of Life
An even more devastating conversation involves a seriously ill family member who faces end-of-life care decisions.
In her experience, JOYN panelist Dr. Dwana Bush, a Roswell specialist in hospice and palliative care, has learned that most of her patients (as well as their spouses) are resolute about spending as little of their remaining time as possible in treatment centers. Most often, their highest priority is to maximize the time they spend with loved ones or on treasured activities.
"They want more hospitality, less hospital," Dwana explains. A doctor who continues to make house calls, she has shaped her treatment approach around these wishes and seen shorter drop-offs in patients' health and longer periods of stability before hospice admittance is needed.
"If you address tough caregiving issues with a parent in the right way," David summarizes, "you move from what you saw as this terrible burden to also giving your parent the great gift of dignity, and a way to show love back and forth."

I was able to talk to Alicia Wong, a senior in the World Bachelor in Business program about her opportunity to study, work and live at schools and companies across the world, from Los Angeles, Hong Kong and Milan, to NYC, and the Bay Area. She shares her unique perspective on her time in these cities, her favorite moments, work culture comparisons, most challenging... and what's next!
Alicia, to begin, give me a brief overview of yourself: where you're from, what the World Bachelor in Business is and what you're focusing on in your studies…
My parents are from China and Malaysia, but I grew up in the Bay Area. I'd always travelled when I was younger, and I moved to LA when I was 18 to enroll in the World Bachelor in Business program.
The WBB program is a triple degree program that allows students to study at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, the HK University of Science and Technology in Hong Kong, and Bocconi University in Milan. Students fulfill general business requirements such as economics, business law, accounting, marketing, and finance, as well as global business practices, local history, and other general education.
Some of my favorite classes have been business strategy, ethics, and negotiations. I've also declared a minor in Mobile Application Development for my USC degree.
What has been the most rewarding part about spending a year in a new location over the course of your studies? And the most challenging?
Being able to connect with a new culture, meet new people, and learn new things is incredibly rewarding. Of course, doing so has also been very challenging. There were so many times when I was frustrated by a language barrier or local bureaucracy, got lost, or was just homesick.
Most surprising thing about….
LA: It takes 30 minutes to travel both 5 miles and 20 miles. I don't know why or how this is true.
Hong Kong: The escalators and elevators move so quickly!
Milan: The city is surprisingly small. Milan is arranged in a circle, and opposite ends of the city (from Vigentino to Isola areas) are just 6 km (3.7 miles) away. My friend and I were training for a half marathon while living in Milan, and our training routes would go all the way across the city and back.
San Francisco: Amount of wind. I think San Francisco is the true windy city.
NYC: Since space lower Manhattan is tight, trash bags get put out on the sidewalk every night. Trucks are out around 2am, and the garbage man manually picks up every bag and throws it into the truck. Once I was in an Uber that got stuck behind a garbage truck for twenty minutes on a one-lane road.
What you liked the best about living in….
LA: Variety. If you're willing to drive a little, you can find almost anything.
Hong Kong: It was so busy. It wasn't often that someone was standing around for no reason, everyone was always on their way to something.
Milan: Definitely the food. Access to fresh mozzarella, homemade pasta and local French and Italian wines totally spoiled me.
Bay: It really was great being close to home, since I was able to see my family and old friends a lot more.
NYC: I definitely had the most random celebrity sightings in New York, like Jonah Hill and Solange.
What you liked least about living in….
LA: Traffic, and the polluted air that is a result of traffic.
Hong Kong: The humidity. My hair and skin were both a mess for the first couple of months.
Milan: I'd never lived somewhere with actual winter, and so getting used to the cold was new to me. I hated that I would have to wear a ton of layers, just to walk around outside and sweat under all the jackets.
Bay: Nothing was within walkable distance, a car is mandatory for living in the Bay.
NYC: It took me a while to catch on to the subway system. For the first month, I'd consistently be on the wrong direction platform, and for a lot of stations, you have to leave the station, go above ground, cross the street, and then go back down on the other side to reach the opposite platform. Delays and weekend/weekday schedule changes always caught me off guard too.
What were you doing in each location, how would you describe the work culture each location….
In LA, NYC, and Bay, I was working at AT&T within different divisions...
LA: Data science. Laid back but very friendly, huge push at my office to eat lunch together every day.
Hong Kong: I interned at a startup in HK (instead of a Fortune 10 company). Work was pretty busy and tasks changed every day. Because we were a satellite office (HQ being in Singapore), most communication was done through email or Slack.
Bay Area: Consulting. I was working remotely, and went into the office once a week. Because our company was pushing very heavily into a more flexible and remote workforce, we didn't have desks. If I were going into the office, I would have to reserve a table online before going in.
NYC: This was the most business-formal office. I was also in a more client-facing role, business to business sales. Work starts and ends a little later, from 9 AM to 6 PM. We also went to visit our clients at their offices a few times a month.
Favorite neighborhoods/restaurants:
LA: Koreatown, Old Pasadena or Culver City were my favorites. Some restaurants I frequented were Beverly Soon Tofu, Sunlife Organics, and Sushi Gen.
Hong Kong: Kennedy Town, Sheung Wan and Tsim Sha Tsui were the places I spent the most time. I loved Sweetheart Garden Restaurant, Tim Ho Wan, and Cong Sao Star Dessert.
Milan: Brera and Porta Ticinese neighborhoods. And for restaurants, Sanya AYCE, Princi, Upcycle Milan Bike Cafe, and Osteria dell'oca Giuliva.
Bay: Fremont (my hometown) would have to be my favorite place. Some favorite restaurants are Pepper Lunch, Shanghai Noodle House. The SF hoods I like are Pacific Heights and Nob Hill.
NYC: I definitely spent a lot of time in the Lower East Village and ate at BK Jani in Brooklyn, Poke Chan, and 212 Hisae's.
Your favorite moments in each place:
LA: Racing golf carts across campus at midnight.
Hong Kong: Hiking, swimming and cliff diving in Sai Kung in spring.
Milan: Starting boxing and Crossfit with two of my close friends, and travelling around Europe.
San Francisco: Catching up with old friends.
NYC: Long nights and weekends spent out with friends, meeting new people and trying new things!
Graduation is on the horizon, what's next? A new city?
I don't have any plans set in stone yet. I love technology and business, and love working with people. That leaves me a lot of room to find a job that I like. In terms of location, I would love to go to a new city. I've loved everywhere I've lived previously too, and wouldn't mind returning to any location either. It's all possible!
As someone who is just entering the work field, how do you think the World Bachelor of Business has prepared you in regards to skillset/outlook that perhaps friends you have from growing up wouldn't necessarily have gained in the past 4 years?
Many others my age have never had the opportunity to leave their state or their hometown, and I'm very grateful for having the opportunity to do so. I think that the constant change has helped me become a very flexible and adaptable person. Quick learning and a good attitude are necessary, and I'm really happy that I have been able to learn and practice these skills throughout the past few years. It definitely wasn't easy, but it was a valuable experience.
