Self-abortion is illegal in New York State, where abortion after 24 weeks is not permitted unless there are serious medical reasons. The self-abortion charge is rare though, probably because those who induce miscarriages themselves generally do so much earlier in pregnancy and hide the facts. Even more importantly, safe abortions are legally available to women in the US.
That proved to be impossible in this case; the dead fetus was found in a trash container. The superintendent who found him described how he saw the baby as he tying up a garbage bag. He wanted to put a piece of plastic in the recycling bin, and when he moved it, he noticed something that horrified him: "When I found the baby, I didn t know if it was real at first. It was so bad. After that happened, I just stayed in my apartment for a while because I didn t feel well."
Press reports say that police are investigating whether Yaribely Almonte induced an abortion using herbs with abortive properties, and also noted that the woman is due back in court on January 3. Previous cases of self-abrtion in the first degree resulted in suspended sentences. Discarding a six-inch, 24-week old fetus is shocking to anyone this baby could have been born alive and even survived with intensive care if he had been born to a mother who went into preterm labor.
Still, experts have been discussing self-abortion and have commented on the practice in newspaper reports on this case. Apparently, the practice is not all that uncommon, especially now that medical abortion drugs such as misoprostol (see misoprostol and Cytotec) are available on the street illegally at low cost. Herbal abortions, meanwhile, have been practiced for centuries in almost every culture.

NEW DELHI: President Pranab Mukherjee will pay tributes to former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on her 30th death anniversary at 'Shakti Sthal' here tomorrow.
After the Narendra Modi Government distanced itself from holding any anniversaries to commemmorate departed national leaders other than Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Vallabhbai Patel, the All India Congress Committee extended an invitation to the President to attend the event.
The President will arrive at 'Shakti Sthal' in the morning and attend prayers being organised at the memorial, official sources said.
The President may also visit 1, Safdurjung Road where Gandhi was assassinated by her own bodyguards in 1984.
The Union Cabinet earlier this month had decided that the government will associate itself only with the birth and death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
The anniversaries of other departed leaders may be observed by respective trusts, parties, societies or supporters. The Cabinet also decided not to convert government bungalows into memorials.
Later, the President will flag off the 'Run for Unity' at the Forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan at 8.15 AM to mark the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
The residents and staff of Rashtrapati Bhavan, the President's Body Guard, the Army Guard and the Delhi Police will participate in the run.
The Rashtriya Ekta Diwas (National Unity Day) Pledge will be administered by Omita Paul, Secretary to the President, to all staff prior to the run.
The government has declared October 31 as "Rashtriya Ekta Diwas" to mark the birth anniversary of Patel, country's first Home Minister.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Patriots are going on the road again in the playoffs, a place that hasn't always been kind to them during the Tom Brady era.
New England was unbeatable at home this season, going 8-0 during the regular season and rolling past the Los Angeles Chargers in the divisional round.
Playing outside of Massachusetts has provided different outcomes. Brady is 6-1 when playing in an AFC Championship Game at home. But he's 2-3 on the road in the conference title game, with the wins coming in Pittsburgh during 2001 and 2004 seasons. New England was 3-5 in games away from Gillette Stadium during the 2018 regular season.
The Patriots enter Sunday's AFC title game at Kansas City trying to become the first team since the 1990s Bills to reach the Super Bowl after losing it the previous season. They haven't won a road playoff game since beating the Chargers 24-21 in the divisional round of the 2006 season.
The Patriots lost to the Colts on the road in the AFC title game after the 2006 season and twice at Denver — in the AFC Championship Game after the 2013 season and again in the 2015 season's AFC title game. New England has played the rest of its 22 playoff games since the 2006 season at home or on a neutral field in the Super Bowl.
"It's tough to beat the No. 1 seed on the road. That's the reality, just like we're tough to beat at home when we're the No. 1 seed," Brady said this week. "It takes a lot. It takes a lot of good football. It takes a great complementary game. All three phases have to be on point. We're going against a team that scores a lot of points."
The AFC teams will also have to deal with what could be the coldest temperature for a game in Arrowhead Stadium history. An arctic blast is forecast for Kansas City.

Patriots linebacker Dont'a Hightower said his focus will be on trying to contain the NFL's top scoring offense and not the thermometer.
"It's definitely one of the hardest places to play. But, at the end of the day, it just comes down to executing It comes down to football and executing plays," Hightower said. "They're a high-powered offense and they're real good on defense, so obviously defensively, we're going to have to eliminate big plays."
The Patriots opened as a three-point underdog, the first time in 68 games, including playoffs, that Brady didn't enter a week as the favorite.
The previous time Brady wasn't the favorite was on Sept. 20, 2015, at Buffalo. The Pats were two-point underdogs that day and won the game 40-32.
It's why Chiefs coach Andy Reid is expecting Brady and the Patriots' best effort on Sunday.
"They're a heck of a team, so I don't get caught up in all that," Reid said. "You're talking about a dynasty, if there is such a thing, in the National Football League. They've been that. You're talking about a head coach that I think the world of him, I think he's a great coach. He's done a phenomenal job keeping that thing together. We're getting ready to get their best shot, offense, defense and special teams."
Kyle Hightower is an Associated Press writer.

Sigma Chi was founded on June 28th, 1855 at Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. Our seven founders created the fraternity on the basic values of Friendship, Justice, and Learning. For more on the general fraternity, click here.
The Alpha Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Chi has a rich tradition of excellence by developing character traits and personal responsibility to prepare our men for responsible citizenship and manhood. Our chapter gained our charter in 1883, and moved into our current chapter house in 1900. We encourage our brothers to not only live the values and virtues of Sigma Chi, but for our brothers to get out into the world and make their own mark.
You can find our brothers all over the world and all across campus. Our brothers are involved in other organizations and activities on campus such as Big Red Investment Club, Omicron Kappa Delta, The Interfraternity Council, PREVENT, and more.
As Sigma Chi's, we have three core values - friendship, justice, and learning. We take these values and lessons from our founders to lead and direct our actions every day with everything that we do. The fundamental purpose of the Sigma Chi International Fraternity is the cultivation, maintenance and accomplishment of the ideals of friendship, justice and learning within its membership.
The Fraternity best serves that purpose by developing, implementing and monitoring programs that foster leadership, build character and promote positive relationship skills, which in turn enable its members to become productive and caring participants in their families, colleges and communities.
The Peterson Significant Chapter Award, sponsored annually by the Sigma Chi Foundation, is the highest honor that the Fraternity bestows upon an undergraduate chapter. Named for 38th Grand Consul J. Dwight Peterson, INDIANA 1919, the award recognizes excellent, but not impossible, performance by chapters in all major areas of operation and programming. For many years, the Peterson plaque has been a symbol of dedication, idealism and achievement.
Years won: 1982, 1985, 1988, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2001, 2014, 2015, 2016
Any Sigma Chi alumnus or undergraduate may nominate a brother for the Significant Sig award. A nomination consists of a completed nomination form, and a resume or summary of the nominee's past and present occupations and positions, professional and/or civic activities, and honors or awards received. Service to Sigma Chi as an undergraduate or alumnus is not a criterion for this award, and ought not to be listed. If a candidate is selected, a nominator may be asked to assist the alumni services department at International Fraternity Headquarters with coordinating an awards ceremony. Only living members of the Fraternity are eligible to receive the award.
Alpha Epsilon Significant Sigs: Lamonte Belnap, 1898; John Brown, 1930; Barnard Houtchens, 1933; Floyd Baker, 1937; Donald Meier, 1941; Fred McLafferty, 1944; E. Abdnor, 1945; Milton Whitehead, 1950; Joseph Feeney, 1954; Paul Allen, 1958; Frank Morrison, 1959; J. Steve Davis, 1967; Eric Piatkowski, 1993; Barnard Houtchens, 1993.
Each year, the Order of Constantine recognizes a group of Sigma Chi brothers for their commitment, dedication and service to the Fraternity. Induction into the Order of Constantine is considered to be the highest honor that the Sigma Chi Fraternity bestows upon one of its members. The honor of being named an Order of Constantine Sig has been conferred on just over 720 brothers since the Order's inception at the 47th Grand Chapter in 1948.
Order of Constantine Recipients from Alpha Epsilon: Frank Proudfit, 1910; Kenneth Craig, 1919; Bennett Martin, 1925; Floyd Baker, 1937; Corwin Moore, 1938; William Moore, 1938; Gregory Kallos, 1949; Marion Denker, 1977.
Life Loyal Sigs are part of a brotherhood of young and old alumni who continue to reap the benefits of Sigma Chi membership long after their college years are over. Life Loyal Sigs exemplify the prosperity, achievement, idealism and deep sense of personal responsibility that we all wish for ourselves and our families. A Life Loyal membership is the best way for members to take part in the enduring spirit and heritage of Sigma Chi.
The first Life Loyal Sig was William "Pop" Henning, DEPAUW 1890, who is most commonly known for leading the Fraternity through the difficult years of the World War I era. Since that time, more than 56,000 brothers have become Life Loyal Sigs.

When A Machine Learning Algorithm Studied Fine Art Paintings, It Saw Things Art Historians Had Never Noticed
The task of classifying pieces of fine art is hugely complex. When examining a painting, an art expert can usually determine its style, its genre, the artist and the period to which it belongs.
Art historians often go further by looking for the influences and connections between artists, a task that is even trickier.
So the possibility that a computer might be able to classify paintings and find connections between them at first glance seems laughable.
And yet, that is exactly what Babak Saleh and pals have done at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
These guys have used some of the latest image processing and classifying techniques to automate the process of discovering how great artists have influenced each other.
They have even been able to uncover influences between artists that art historians have never recognized until now.
The way art experts approach this problem is by comparing artworks according to a number of high-level concepts such as the artist's use of space, texture, form, shape, color and so on.
Experts may also consider the way the artist uses movement in the picture, harmony, variety, balance, contrast, proportion and pattern.
Other important elements can include the subject matter, brushstrokes, meaning, historical context and so on. Clearly, this is a complex business.
So it is easy to imagine that the limited ability computers have for analyzing two-dimensional images would make this process more or less impossible to automate. But Salah and co show how it can be done.
At the heart of their method, is a new technique developed at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire and Microsoft research in Cambridge, UK, for classifying pictures according to the visual concepts that they contain.
These concepts are called classemes and include everything from simple object description such as duck, frisbee, man, wheelbarrow to shades of color to higher-level descriptions such as dead body, body of water, walking and so on.
Comparing images is then a process of comparing the words that describe them, for which there are a number of well-established techniques.
For each painting, they limit the number of concepts and points of interest generated by their method to 3000 in the interests of efficient computation.
This process generates a list of describing words that can be thought of as a kind of vector. The task is then to look for similar vectors using natural language techniques and a machine learning algorithm.
Determining influence is harder though since influence is itself a difficult concept to define. Should one artist be deemed to influence another if one painting has a strong similarity to another?
Or should there be a number of similar paintings and if so how many?
So Saleh and co experiment with a number of different metrics. They end up creating two-dimensional graphs with metrics of different kinds on each axis and then plotting the position of all of the artists in this space to see how they are clustered.
The results are interesting. In many cases, their algorithm clearly identifies influences that art experts have already found.
For example, the graphs show that the Austrian painter Klimt is close to Picasso and Braque and indeed experts are well acquainted with the idea that Klimt was influenced by both these artists.
The algorithm also identifies the influence of the French romantic Delacroix on the French impressionist Bazille, the Norwegian painter Munch's influence on the German painter Beckmann and Degas' influence on Caillebotte.
The algorithm is also able to identify individual paintings that have influenced others.
It picked out Georges Braque's Man with a Violin and Pablo Picasso's Spanish Still Life: Sun and Shadow, both painted in 1912 with a well-known connection as pictures that helped found the Cubist movement.
And yet a visual inspection shows a clear link. The yellow circles in the images below show similar objects, the red lines show composition and the blue square shows a similar structural element, say Saleh and co.
That is interesting stuff. Of course, Saleh and co do not claim that this kind of algorithm can take the place of an art historian.
After all, the discovery of a link between paintings in this way is just the starting point for further research about an artist's life and work.
But it is a fascinating insight into the way that machine learning techniques can throw new light on a subject as grand and well studied as the history of art.

The Scandalous Life of Marie Antoinette's Versailles Apartments
Open again after a three-year restoration, the goings-on in these posh suites are as steeped in mystery and scandal as the doomed queen herself.
If these (gilded) walls could talk!
Of the 700 rooms at the Palace of Versailles, among the most famous are the Queen's Apartments, which include Marie Antoinette's private chambers. Open again after a three-year restoration project to return the series of rooms to their former damask-covered glory, the apartments are now back open and attracting visitors in droves who come to gawk at the lavish silk tapestries and over-the-top rococo flourishes.
However, the centuries-old fascination with the frivolous French queen's former stomping grounds goes beyond the ornate canopy bed and the large jewelry case with mother-of-pearl inlay that sits in an alcove beside it. The goings-on in these the posh suites are as steeped in mystery and scandal as the doomed queen herself.
These apartments were where Marie Antoinette, with the help of myriad staff, got dressed each day in stockings, garters, a tight corset, and layers of silk, topped off with clouds of powder and perfume. And, says the Revolutionary-era gossip mill, got undressed. Often. Love letters were written in these rooms (although not to the king), and there are also rumors of same-sex trysts with ladies in waiting, passionate romps with a young duchess, as well as numerous orgies. Not-so-affectionately known as "Madame Deficit," the queen's excesses, legend has it, went beyond her flamboyant fashion sense and extended to the bedroom.
"…debauchery and agitation of passions were observed in Marie Antoinette's life," an anonymous, circa-1783 pamphlet titled "The Historical Essays on the Life of Marie Antoinette of Austria," reads. "Men, women, everything was as she liked. She was satisfied with everything. Marie Antoinette also was unfaithful to Louis XVI and fooled him too."
Indeed, among the many scandalous rumors that dogged the queen during her reign was an alleged affair with her husband's younger, better-looking brother, the Comte d'Artois, also known as Charles X. King Louis XVI was known to suffer from sexual dysfunction, and the intimate life between the king and queen was lackluster at best. Apparently, the two royals didn't even consummate their marriage until seven years after their wedding, leaving the young queen famished for sexual attention. She is alleged to have quenched her desires in the arms of Louis's brother, a rumored philanderer who enjoyed a close friendship with his sister-in-law. Just how close, has never been proven, however.
The king's kid brother wasn't the only one believed to have indulged in lusty interludes with the queen. Two of her closest female friends, the Princesse de Lamballe, and the Duchesse de Polignac, were rumored to have been more than friends. The queen met Marie-Thérèse-Louise de Savoie-Carignan, who would become the Princesse de Lamballe, shortly after her arrival in France. Widowed young after her husband's death from venereal disease (you can't make this stuff up), Lamballe became close with Marie Antoinette, who appointed her as superintendent of her household—a move that provoked jealousy among older, more experienced courtiers. Marie Antoinette referred to Lamballe as "mon cher cœur," my dear heart, and the Austrian ambassador to the court of Versailles wrote in a letter, that "Her Majesty continually sees the Princesse de Lamballe in her rooms," adding that he had "taken the precaution to point out to the Queen that her favor and goodness to the Princesse de Lamballe are somewhat excessive in order to prevent abuse of them from that quarter."
So were they or weren't they? It's important to remember that effusive demonstrations of affection weren't unusual in friendships between young women in the 18th century, and there is no historical evidence that the queen and Lamballe were indeed anything other than close friends. The princess even had a reputation of being socially withdrawn and even prudish— not exactly the character of someone indulging in steamy Sapphic capers with her best friend. Nevertheless, she was regularly portrayed as Marie Antoinette's lover in anti-monarchist propaganda of the time.
Whether friend or lover, Lamballe was soon cast aside for a new object of the queen's affection: Yolande Martine Gabrielle de Polastron, also known as the Duchesse de Polignac. De Polignac was presented to the queen at Versailles in 1775, and the queen, who was reportedly instantly smitten with her, invited her to move to the palace. The alleged romantic relationship between Marie Antoinette and Polignac was dramatized on the big screen in Benoît Jacquot's 2012 film, Farewell, My Queen, based on the novel by French author and historian, Chantal Thomas.
"Have you ever been attracted to a woman?" Diane Kruger's Marie Antoinette asks her servant, played by Léa Seydoux, in heated whisper. "To the point that you suffer in her absence?"
The film deviates from the book, which is more ambiguous in its depiction of their relationship, conveying an intense friendship between the two rather than a full-blown love affair. Chantal Thomas pointed out that even in the film the sexual relationship is ambiguous.
"Yes, they embrace," Thomas, who describes their relationship in the film as a "passionate friendship," told The Daily Beast. "But nowhere in the film are we shown the queen and de Polignac making love."
Marie Antoinette was depicted as having sex with both the Duchess de Polignac and the Comte d'Artois in other mediums, however. Books, plays, and tawdry pamphlets that can best be described as political porn were clandestinely distributed among in the French public prior to the Revolution. A scene in one circa-1789 play, The Royal Orgy, describes l'Autrichienne having a threesome with the Comte d'Artois and Madame de Polignac, as the corpulent Louis XVI sleeps, oblivious to the debauchery around him.
Such libelles were common during pre-Revolutionary France as public anger towards the monarchy was reaching a boiling point. Stanford University keeps an online archive that includes the smutty cartoons depicting the queen in the arms of the Princesse de Lamballe, as well as in other compromising positions. Many contemporary historians agree that the pamphlets helped shape the image of the queen as a morally bankrupt sex fiend.
Of all the Versailles-related scandals, the queen's affair with Axel von Fersen is among the most enduring, some even accepting it as fact. A dashing Swedish count, von Fersen is believed to have been Marie Antoinette's lover throughout most of her reign. The two first met as teenagers at a masked ball at Versailles in 1774. Five years later he moved into the palace, and later divided his time between the court and his military duties.
"I have decided never to marry," von Fersen wrote in a cryptic letter to his sister. "I cannot belong to the one person I truly want… So I prefer to belong to nobody."
Even the Palace of Versailles has weighed in on their relationship, acknowledging on its official website that the friendship between the queen and von Fersen, "was the subject of much speculation," adding that, while there is no solid proof of an affair between the two, "enough mystery persists to maintain the myth."
Some historians would say otherwise, including Evelyn Farr, whose 2016 book, I Love You Madly, is centered on a trove of secret letters exchanged between the two, many of which had been written in code or invisible ink, or with sections blacked out.
"My dear and very tender friend—my God, how cruel it is to be so close and not be able to see each other!" Fersen wrote to Marie Antoinette in 1791. "I live and exist only to love you; adoring you is my only consolation."
The queen responded in kind in January of 1792: "I am going to close, but not without telling you, my dear and very tender friend, that I love you madly and never, ever could I exist a moment without adoring you."
Perhaps even more telling is the final message she sent to von Fersen shortly before she met her fate at the guillotine. Delivered to von Fersen by a friend 18 months after the queen's demise, the single line read: "Farewell. My heart is all yours."
Despite these lovelorn lettres d'amour, there is nonetheless ongoing dissent among historians as to the true nature of their relationship. Some insist it was platonic, others argue that while the two may have had strong feelings for one another, the love was never actually consummated. Others point out the logistical issues such a clandestine liaison would have posed, including French historian Fanny Cosandey, who told The Daily Beast in a prior interview that she "didn't think it was possible for Marie Antoinette to have had an actual physical relationship with Fersen," given how closely the young queen's every move was monitored.
Farr's book nonetheless suggests that two of the queen's four children, Sophie and Louis-Charles were fathered by the count, not the king. And thanks to a secret room located just about Marie Antoinette's private apartments, his amorous visits weren't as tricky to pull off as one might imagine. Farr even offers proof by way of a letter Quintin Craufurd, a friend of von Fersen's, wrote to British Prime Minister William Pitt and Foreign Secretary Lord Grenville asking them for assistance in the royal family's escape.
"I know him [Fersen] intimately, and think him a man of unquestionable honor and veracity," Craufurd writes in a letter dated August 3, 1791. "This gentleman was Colonel of the Royal Suédois; was Her Most Christian Majesty's prime favorite; and is generally supposed to be the father of the present Dauphin."
What is perhaps most intriguing about the late queen is the dichotomy regarding her image. Depending on the book, blog post, message board, or Versailles-related film you encounter, she is either presented as ruthless profligate libertine, or a chaste, tragic, and deeply misunderstood figure—the country's favorite royal scapegoat who didn't warrant the cruel gossip or anti-royalist "political porn" that often made her a punchline. So which is it?
Even some historians admit that the scandalous rumors that continue to follow the queen are impossible to verify.
"There is no hard recorded proof that there were these affairs," Lauren Puzier, a New York-based librarian and historian who publishes a blog specializing in the 18th century told The Daily Beast. "She was very attached to the two women [Lamballe and Polignac], but there is just so much room for interpretation."
"It was known that she wasn't haven't sexual intercourse with her husband until later in the marriage, so who knows? Maybe she was seeking gratification with her friends. It could be, but we just don't really know."
Thomas said that the duality in Marie Antoinette's own personality over the course of her lifetime also fueled the duality regarding her image.
"Up until 1789 before the death of her son, she was a rather superficial woman in search of pleasure and diversions," she explained. "After 1789, she became someone with a serious, tragic, and courageous side."
A campaign against the young monarch was launched shortly after her arrival at Versailles, Thomas said, which contributed to the destruction of her reputation. She was surprised, she said, by how much hatred was directed at the queen.
"Since her death a certain amount of justice has been done against this abominable image [of the queen,]" she said.
Puzier explained that the century that followed the French Revolution brought renewed interest in the queen, and portrayals of Marie Antoinette in books and essays took on a softer tone. The bloodshed was over, a new government had been installed, and public hatred of the royals had become passé. This renewed, less lurid curiosity about the queen, said Puzier, has continued to the present day.
"People hear the name 'Marie Antoinette' and associate her with a type of celebrity that has endured," she said.
Along with the ornate furnishings in the queen's bedroom, there is also a secret door that came in handy on the evening of October 5, 1789. A thousands-strong angry mob had marched from Paris to Versailles and broached the entrance to the palace. A group headed straight for Marie Antoinette's apartments. The queen escaped via the hidden door and made a run for it. Less than two years later, the royal family fled only to be arrested in Varennes. A couple of years after that Marie Antoinette met the guillotine in the Place de la Révolution (Place de la Concorde today).
Apart from a few minor adjustments, her private apartments are much as she left them. No other queen occupied Marie Antoinette's room following her hasty departure, and as she fled what many historians believe is a gilded cage, France's last reine left ostentatious grandeur, scandal, and seemingly endless intrigue in her wake.

You know you've arrived when this newspaper likes your stuff.
Ian Capstick's blog post titled "John Baird is really gay" writes:
"Right off the top, this will make a whole lot more sense if you know that John Baird is a homosexual." see here
Curious if Capstick will out any others on Parliament Hill?
The Toronto Star is in fine form today:
Thomas Walkom is upset that John Baird used an American political reference "elite" to describe Layton and Iffy but has no issue with calling US conservatives "nuts" and the "lunatic right"
Haroon Siddiqui compares PM Stephen Harper to the Nizam of Hyderabad:
"King Stephen wants his orders obeyed. Those who don't are fired, transferred or demonized. Or they quit."
Siddiqui sickly blames Harper for the death of one person:
"Remy Beauregard, head of Rights and Democracy, who died of a heart attack after being hounded into line."
James Travers continues the bizarre comparison of the Conservative Party's low numbers 5 years ago under Harper to Iffy's and the Liberal Party's low numbers now.
"As autumn 2005 approached, Conservatives trailed badly in opinion polls and Harper was coming off a summer tour remembered for a cowboy outfit weirdly reminiscent of the Village People"
Problem with this grasping-at-straws kind of hope is that one of those two leaders actually had a clue on how to get a political party organized.

From October 2nd-13th 2019, vehicles are the main theme during the Children's Book Week 2019: Travel with us.
The famous Dutch astronaut Andre Kuipers wrote this year's children's book and this inspired us to make a fluffy rocket for the central hall of the Public Library Rotterdam at Blaak.
Last week we had our first try-out with our arty foyer experience for the toddler's festival: Festival Colorful/ Festival Kleurrijk.
Here is already a small preview of how it looked like that morning. We were very happy to see everything together after weeks of preparation. And to see how everything was build up in 1 space and that the children were immediately enthusiastic and playing around!
When you are interested in checking out the festival yourself with your toddler, check this website for the tourdates:
On this year's Children's Book Party (Kinderboekenbal 2019) were only adults invited. Therefore the design and decoration of the party was slightly different that the other years. We painted a small photobooth, which was sponsored by the NS (Dutch Railway System).
And Andre Kuipers ( Dutch astronaut) was the special guest and posing in front of our train:)
From September on, we are part of a small theater festival called Festival Kleurrijk/ Festival Colorful which travels for 2 years through the Netherlands and Belgium!
Together with 2 theater groups, we are now developing a special playground for toddlers and preschool children who visit the theater mostly for the first time. Off course we want to give them a special, colorful and joyful experience after viewing their first theater play.
The first theater play is called Yellow and the second one is called Color Ballet and inspired by Oscar Schlemmer's Triadisch Ballet. Inspired by these two performances we have created various play grounds.
Coming weekend we are on music festival 'Festival de Frikandel' with our custom made decoration and photobooth.
A 'Frikandel' is a Dutch fried sausage snack, but the festival is vegan:) The festival's name comes from the music studio's: Oefenruimte de Frikandel. On this festival 5 Bands of the music studio get a stage to perform this day.
The theme of the festival is 'Soup', so we made all funny decoration inspired by the Big Bang Oersoep, Andy Warhole, Cup a soup and many more.
Check out the festival this Sunday from 15-22 pm.
For the whole summer you can visit our exhibition/ scavenger hunt 'Come with me', spread over four floors in the big central library of Rotterdam!
The public library Rotterdam-Blaak and publisher Lemniscaat asked us to design a summer exhibition based on the children's book. 'Ik neem je mee/Come with me' by Linde Faas. The book is about a boy in a bed who is taken by his friend, together they make fantastic drawings that take them to amazing adventures through jungles, seamonsters and more.
Here a preview of what you are going to see on the different floors in the library :). If you have a jeugdvakantiepaspoort (youth holiday passport), don't forget to bring it with you!
Go check it out and make the scavenger hunt yourself!!!
For the exhibition 'Post/Delete', we were asked by the Stedelijk Museum Schiedam to design a temporary photobooth 'the perfect picture".
In this exhibition the museum shows the effect of all these 'perfect pictures' on social media in the youth culture. It's becoming harder to see what's fake or what's real (in a humoristic way).
Our photobooth was a typical tropical beach setting, where you could make a super fake selfie with a cocktail or with a silly giant flamingo. The perfect social media selfie setting, to make everybody jealous :).
Studio de Bakkerij invited us for their summer exhibition to design their foyer. We came up with our wall installation 'Ik slaap, maar ik slaap nog niet' / 'I'm sleeping, but not sleeping yet'.
They connected us with the SKVR, an educational art center in Rotterdam. The SKVR gave poetry lessons on two primary schools, in which the children made poems themselves. From all the beautiful poems, we chose the most poetic sentences and used them as inspiration for our fluffy mural installation.
The exhibition is extended and you can see it for yourself until the end of October 2019
After 1,5 week of sunshine, painting and happy helpers we finished the giant Seal and its little buddy Elephant with a new colorful summer outfit!
Here is the official 'get ready for the launch' invitation for June 12, 2 pm.
Thanks to our super interns Manon and Mirthe and the big support of the Sportspeeltuin Hillesluis!!!!!
On all the good things, come to an end :(
After 3 months of building up and down and traveling through whole Amsterdam, last Sunday was the final location of the OBA100 Mega Reading Bed.
Here is a compilation of pictures of all the cool and different OBA libraries from the last 3 months:)
Thanks for all the help from the library employees and all the sweet big and little readers who visited our bed!!!!

Helping Grandparents Obtain Custody Rights
For 15 Years, I Have Been Protecting The Grandparent-Grandchild Relationship
I frequently work with grandparents who:
- Are raising their grandchildren due to a death in the family, child abandonment, drug and alcohol abuse, jail, illness or crime
- Have lost the right to visit their grandchildren following a divorce, estrangement, or other personal matter or family law matter
Without taking legal action, a grandparent generally has no legal rights regarding his or her grandchildren. However, with effective legal action, in some circumstances you may be able to obtain custody, visitation and other accommodations.
When you wish to pursue grandparents' rights, I am ready to help. I am a solo practitioner who understands that grandparent-grandchild bonds are healthy and essential for both parties. I believe that it is usually in the child's best interest that grandparents have a meaningful relationship with their grandchildren and regular contact with them.

Consequences are Gifts
Tough love isn't punitive. The purpose of tough love is redemption. This means that the consequences that are being faced by the offender should be something that will lead them back to the place that they should be.
What does that look like practically from a parental point of view?
Today my nineteen-year-old son did not wake up for work. He lives in the same house with his boss, which happens to be his Dad.
He is preparing to move away to start college, work, and adulting. In the interim, he is working for his father along with other laborers.
There are no special privileges for him. Especially not the privilege of a personal alarm clock.
Today, because he was not awake when it was time to leave, he will not earn money. Instead, he will stay home and work on the yard for free.
This may seem cruel to some, but he knows that he messed up. He knows he needs to have the skills to be self-governing and self-supporting.
His bad decision to stay up late, not set his alarm, or whatever it was that made him unprepared for his workday is all on him.
He acts offended and victimized at first but as I explain to him in a calm, concerned, and determined manner, he lets his victimhood melt away and is ashamed and feels like a schmuck. I do not enjoy it.
Resist the Urge to "Fix It"
As a parent, of course, we want to overlook it. We want to tell him "it's ok" and give him another chance. If he were fourteen, we might do that. But this is not a drill. It is time for him to be an adult.
We raise our children to be self-sufficient and purposeful, according to their plans. That means one may choose a doctoral program, while another chooses to marry and raise children.
Both are treated with the same level of importance and respect. We expect them to pursue excellence in whatever they pursue. We do not choose their life plan for them. If they are in a state of preparedness and personal growth, they have our support, however, we do reserve the right to dissuade boneheaded decisions.
Allowing them to fail and face consequences are the best gifts we can give our children for being prepared. Don't waste opportunities for growth on useless passive aggressive nonsense.
Tough love means that when your children fail, you weep with them. You hurt for them, but you do not fix their problems. You point them in the right direction and let them attack problems themselves.
Be Adult in Your Parenting
Tough love isn't mean. I think people believe in order to demonstrate tough love that you must be unloving and withdrawn. That is the worst time to be unloving.
It doesn't mean that you don't get angry. It means that you demonstrate how adult you are by "cooling off" before you speak.
You reach within yourself beyond the personal offense that you feel because your child disobeyed you and take the opportunity to help them grow.
You encourage them that they were created to be amazing people. You tell them to pay for the consequence and do better tomorrow.
Discipline and consequences should be purposeful and redemptive. The motivation of our actions should be to help them succeed later.
Honesty Really is the Best Policy
We do not have to trick them or keep them guessing. We tell them what we are doing. We tell them that they are worth it.
Tough love hurts but it is not mean. It is done with patience, thoughtfulness, and purpose.
Sometimes that means paying for the dent they put in the car, even though it was an accident that could have happened to anyone.
It means allowing them to fail while they are close to you so that you can help them identify and overcome their weaknesses.
Tough love is not easy, but it is right and necessary.

some words about me
If you do some research on the Internet, you will notice that there are hundreds of people all over the planet offering personal trainer advice by Skype or in person. So, it's no surprise why so many people are wondering why they should choose me over other personal trainers. That's a fair question!
Well, there is more than one thing that makes me better than my fellow personal trainers. First and foremost, I have a specific type of education that makes me more competent than many trainers out there. Namely, in addition to my Personal Trainer Level 3 certificate, I also have a high medical degree and specialisation in Sports Medicine.
I must point out that my experience helps me a lot in this process because I have over 15 years of international working experience in sports medicine in different countries including the UK, USA, South Africa and Russia. I was helping many professional athletes.
Furthermore, thanks to my huge experience in this field, both as a personal trainer and sports medicine practitioners, and my outstanding educational background, I was able to develop a specific, unique approach in my work. I am providing new, effective exercises to all my clients which are tailored to their specific needs and condition. I am also taking their metabolism into account. But, what's even more important is that I am developing unique food plans for each client. These food plans make them healthier and they don't have to give up on many things to achieve their health goals. I am visiting my clients at their homes in person, but only if they live in Sheffield (UK) or the surrounding area (up to 10 miles). I am also available for office consultation for companies that want to improve the health of their employees. But, even if you are in another country, you can still get a valuable consultation by Skype.
So, let me provide help and assist you with all your health-related issues!

"The drive to prove that no one owes income taxes is not a libertarian cause. It does nothing to show people that government programs hurt, rather than help, America. By trying to focus on legalisms, it does nothing to show that government shouldn't be taxing your income."--Harry Browne, Jail Bait
I've been asked several times why, given that I generally support reducing tax rates, the number of taxes, and the government's power to tax, I show such antipathy to tax resisters and tax protesters individually and as a movement.
It would pay, first, to distinguish between the two. Tax resisters are those who honestly refuse to pay some or all of the taxes they admittedly owe the government. Tax protesters, on the other hand, devise and advance crackpot legal theories claiming that either they personally or nobody owes income tax.
The question of when civil disobedience is appropriate has always been one of shades of grey, and , I suspect, of taste. Rule of law is the foundation of free society; clearly we can't decide for ourselves all of the time which laws to obey and which obligations to meet. Yet clearly we should also not obey every law and meet every obligation no matter how unjust or burdensome. There are people, however wrongheaded, who believe in good faith that taxation is theft. (Not "like theft" or "sometimes theft", mind you, but always, exactly, categorically, theft.) And then there are those who refuse their taxes out of opposition to wars of aggression or the War on Drugs.
Both sorts strike me as hypochondriacs; I remain unconvinced that taxation itself is so great a burden or that the little bit spent on war is so great a portion to justify flouting not just law but rule of law itself, especially in light of tax resistance never making a significant difference. Nonetheless, I appreciate their position and understand its honesty.
Tax protesters, however, come in two flavors: charlatans and suckers. Since nobody likes admitting to being a sucker, the latter usually become the former when pressed about their beliefs. To top it off, they ordinarily become downright rude, namecalling, engaging in personal attacks, and insisting that, instead of referring them to sources, the person who bursts their bubble spell everything out, explicitly, themselves. Ordinarily decent people become outright jackasses when called on their tax protest theories. Maybe they feel like cornered cats. I don't know.
It's nearly impossible to scam an honest man. As with most con games those advancing tax protester theories prey on the greed of their mark, including a desire to be special and be exempt from an obligation the rest of us pleebs and pedestrians have to pay. Thus the tax protest advocates convince people of things no reasonable person in complete intellectual honesty could believe, from a Matrix-like demiurge fantasy about capital-letter, SSN-indexed straw men, redeemable for cash to a belief that the everyday meaning of the word "income" doesn't apply to the internal revenue code. They lead people to believe numerous twisty, unlikely arguments more suited to weasels than to men, and convince them of these things even though the IRS and many private individuals and groups have debunked nearly every bogus argument being advanced. They've lead people astray who've wanted to be led astray.
There's the sad part. People who recognize that taxes are too high and that we were once far freer than we are now are being led to ruin their reputations, discredit their causes, destroy their finances, and face prison time by those presenting the false hope of achieving freedom from taxation, at least for themselves, through word magic. The victims are greedy and dishonest, yes, but ruination is not a fair comeuppance.
Not only must liberty and a $0 tax bill never be confounded: one must also never get so foolish as to believe that there's a way to say "Open Sesame" and have an instant free society. The changes we are due will come slowly and through much struggle both at the polls and in the court of public opinion. By leading people with the right instincts about government astray and perpetuating myths about the natures of liberty and positive law, tax protesters undermine that effort.

This weekend my boys desperately wanted to get out and go to a playground. 🏀 Schools will be closed for about a month as my boys will be educated at home. A good idea to get outside and do fun, active things with your kids would be to find obscure playgrounds which might not be as germ-infested as the most popular playgrounds. Kids don't need a fancy playground, they just want to get outside and run around! Remember all those small, simple playgrounds you've passed in your car over the years? My boys would sometimes say, "When can we go to that playground?" Since we surely won't be going to inside places, we will find time to go out to safer outdoor locations with (hopefully) less germs. My advice? Be well with your family this week, turn off the news sometimes, and go outside and play!💗
god bless america!
We were so taken aback when we saw this Christmas tree on the Avenue of the Americas in NYC. 🗽🌆 Our hearts, thoughts, and prayers go out to all the First Responders and Military personnel who are trying their best to fight the good fight every day in the face of evil, and unfortunately, sometimes illogical political pressures and influences. We not only support these men and women, we stand up for them at any opportunity to do so. Saying we support them isn't enough. Yes, it's hard to understand the totality of their circumstances unless you've lived that life. We've lived it in our immediate and extended family. We DO understand, and we do support them for every hardship they have to endure on a daily basis. 🇺🇸 May God protect them, and help them to stand strong. We love them. We pray for them. We stand with them. ➕
Being Kind
In different parts of the country, and different parts of the world, some people can just floor you with their "kind tone." They don't need a good reason to be kind - they just are. Being from Upstate New York, sometimes kindness from strangers seems like a rare occurrence. One such example of a genuinely kind person is our long-time customer Ingrid from the Netherlands. She's just a very nice woman, and it shows through in all her correspondence. Here's her latest e-mail... Thanks for looking out for us Ingrid!!! -Karen
"Hello, my name is Ingrid and I live in Margraten in the Nehterlands. For quite some years I have ordered and used your Purse Gummy strips! I think they are great!!! Today I was in a new handbag/laptop bag shop in a nearby village called Gulpen. The shop is called bags2buy. I showed them your Purse Gummy and they were really interested. The owner of the shop is going to contact you by email one of the coming days. She was very enthusiastic to sell them in her shop! I hope this will lead to something fruitful! The Purse Gummy is a super product!! Best regards. Ingrid"
On a recent episode of "The Ellen Show," actress Melissa McCarthy was asked about what stunts were difficult for her while filming the movie "The Kitchen." She responded, in all seriousness, that she had the most difficulty trying to keep her purses (or "lady handbags" as she called them) securely on her shoulder during filming of action scenes. Melissa McCarty described how her body and shoulder structure are not conducive to hold straps in place on her shoulder! Of course, as women, we already know this can be a huge problem in our daily lives but we all won't readily admit it; Much less in front of an audience on the Ellen Show! Ha, Ha! Good for Ms. McCarthy to bring the issue up and address it with Ellen!
We're all just human - celebrity or not. We all have various problems and difficulties with our mobility. Isn't is nice to just be reminded of that once it a while? We're all in the same boat ladies! Let's work together to solve our issues, no matter what they might be!
Spring change for the better
First, Congratulations to Vicki B. from Ontario, Canada, one being the winner of the Spring Baggallini Handbag contest. She was extremely appreciative, which makes us feel HAPPY here at Strap Gummy Company! All you have to do is ENTER and add your e-mail to our secure list in order to get a change to WIN!
So... it is now SPRINGTIME!
They say the only constant in life is change. They are right.
Sometimes we plan out our lives—our days, our weeks, our years—and everything falls into place. But other times, we make our plans, only to have them upended by circumstances outside of our control.
Either way, the only constant is change. Life never remains the same. Sometimes it changes for the better, sometimes it changes for the worse, but always for something different than today.
I find myself reflecting on that fact this morning as I sit at a table typing this. My life is good, and peaceful in this moment. My family is happy, and we are all healthy. I have friends I can rely on, and family I enjoy being with.
It is easy, I suppose, to think life will stay this way forever. But that is not the case. Everything could change as early as tomorrow.
This may cause some to worry. But I do not think the best response is to worry about the future. I mean, the change that is coming could be a positive one. Besides, worrying won't change the future anyway. Change is going to happen whether you worry about it or not.
Instead, I think the best response is to fully appreciate this very moment, because it could change at any time.
If life is good, count your blessings, be thankful, and enjoy the moments—every single one of them. Slow down, take a deep breath, and savor this Spring season as best you can.
If, on the other hand, your life is not in a good place, take heart, because change is coming. As the seasons change, so does life. Value love, faith, and hope. Find peace to accept the things you cannot change and courage to change the things you can. But through it all, remember, this is only a season. Things will change, they always do.
If you can only live one moment at a time, you might as well make it the present. After all, we have no idea how long "today" will last… everything could change as soon as tomorrow. I hope you are having fantastic Spring season so far!
New black package on amazon!
Thank You to everyone who added their name to our e-mail list and thus entering the latest Handbag Giveaway for the Baggallini zipper bag (click on bag photo to enter). 👜 We will give the bag away soon on the first day of Spring. Positive, warmer seasonal change will be in the air soon! 🌼🌷
By the way, we just launched the all black package of Purse Gummy® strips for sale on Amazon.com, which you can check out here.
We had previously only offered that color package exclusively on Ebay or our website.
We have had a tremendous response to this offer as the black color is very popular.
There are no constants... change is contunual.
Sometimes we plan out our lives—our days, our weeks, our years—and everything falls into place. But other times, we make our plans, only to have them upended by circumstances outside of our control.
Either way, the only constant is change. Life never remains the same. Sometimes it changes for the better, sometimes it changes for the worse, but always for something different than today. We are always hoping for positive change, which is undoubtedly the best attitude to carry going forward. 🙏
Entrepreneurship has produced positive change in our lives and we are forever grateful to our customers for their support and encouragement. 🛍
Thank you for your interest!
We have been overwhelmed with customer support. Our small company gets so many positive e-mails and Amazon product reviews, which we are extremely grateful for. It is very encouraging.. especially on these brutal winter days!
We must apologize in advance, as we have been intermittently sold out of Strap Gummy and Purse Gummy products on Amazon. This is due to a minor delay with our supplier, but we are working those issues out. It is a lesson learned. If something that is important to you is working in your life, then don't neglect it, don't assume a process is running smoothly. Nourish your vision, focus on it to get the results your want! Thanks so much and stay warm!
Wow! We're well into the new year and we're still cleaning up after Christmas in our home! Life as a parent, especially during this time of year, goes at a very fast pace. I make a conscious effort to try to not bring all of the issues of the day into my night-time routines for myself or my children. In order to get a good night's sleep, and start the next day fresh, it is best to have a philosophy: When you go to bed, clear your head. Thank you so much for checking out our website and our products. With much gratitude...
Welcome Woman's Day readers!
My name is Karen and I'm the owner of Strap Gummy Co, the company which manufactures and sells the Purse Gummy® and Strap Gummy®. Thank you for checking out my products which help to keep your bag straps from slipping off your shoulders.
Like everyone else, I've had my share of personal and business struggles and triumphs. My main most cherished accomplishment is that I am the proud Mom of three beautiful boys! For fun, our family likes to ride bikes, take walks, (watch the kids) play sports, take short trips, cooking, and eating out at (inexpensive) hole-in-the-wall restaurants. I get the most enjoyment out of watching these curious creatures explore the world through new eyes (and sometimes I now get to sleep through the entire night uninterrupted!).
I'm able to be an entrepreneur and still do the "stay at home Mom" thing at the same time. It is very empowering for me to have this privilege. I like to think of it as a traditional arrangement, but modernized. Maybe someday there will be more free time to spend at the shopping malls, but not just yet!
I don't claim to know it all, and remain skeptical when others do. I try to keep moving the puck forward a little each day, and take life with my family one day at a time.
Thank you so much for checking out my website and my products!
We are so excited that we will be getting some major media attention soon for our products!
MY company / ABOUT ME
The Purse Gummy® accessory was invented and designed by me, Karen, a mother of 3 who was annoyed by her bag slipping off her shoulder. I experienced the common problem of "bag slippage" for many years, and always wondered "Why doesn't someone invent something to prevent this problem?" One day it hit me, since I had a basic conceptual idea of how to prevent the problem by creating simple friction, that maybe I should tackle the issue with my product design!
