"When I look at the work of someone like Frank Gehry, I see a sculptor who was hired for an architecture project," says José DeJesús Zamora, assistant professor in the School of Design Strategies at Parsons. "It's promising when the most imposing names in architecture incorporate a sense of sculptural beauty into their work. The sculptor's influence lets me be creative and use nontraditional methods when working with Parsons students."
A healthy disrespect for design orthodoxy—the boundaries that separate drawing from sculpture and sculpture from architecture—has benefited DeJesús Zamora throughout his career. Although his childhood in Puerto Rico was consumed with life drawing, DeJesús Zamora spent many years working in New York City as an architect, allowing his passion for order and process to flourish. Returning to school for an MFA in sculpture, DeJesús Zamora immediately sensed how an architect's approach would inform his work, an understanding he now brings to students in the classes he teaches in the School of Design Strategies. DeJesús Zamora joined Parsons' faculty in 1999 and now collaborates with colleagues who combine architecture, urban design, and digital media in innovative ways that that show artists and designers how disciplines can complement one another.
"Drawing is more a way of teaching students to slow down and look more carefully. Then they bring the richness of their own visual experience. The product of this exercise is as much intellectual as it is aesthetic—maybe even more so."

Lawmakers Demand Response to Allegations of Inmate Abuse
Milwaukee Democrats call on the Department of Corrections to respond to allegations of abuse at Waupun Correctional Institution.
Six Democratic Wisconsin lawmakers have written to the state Department of Corrections demanding action regarding allegations of abuse of inmates by guards at Waupun Correctional Institution.
"The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism has published a series of articles that have drawn great interest and concern from many of our constituents," the lawmakers wrote in a Sept. 9 letter to DOC Secretary Ed Wall. They said they were writing in hopes of prompting further dialogue on the issue.
The lawmakers noted that Wisdom, a faith-based state advocacy group, has received no reply to its earlier letters to Wall and to Republican Gov. Scott Walker, seeking an investigation into the allegations. They called for "a full and thoughtful response and/or dialogue of how DOC plans to address these allegations, what steps are taken to educate correctional officers on appropriate use of force, and how all parties can work together moving forward."
DOC spokeswoman Joy Staab, in an email, declined to say whether Wall would meet with or respond to either the lawmakers or Wisdom. "The department remains focused on our mission of protecting the public, our staff and those in our charge," she wrote.
Signing the letter were state Sen. Nikiya Harris Dodd and state Reps. Mandela Barnes, Evan Goyke, LaTonya Johnson, Sandy Pasch and Christine Sinicki. All live in Milwaukee except Pasch, who lives in Shorewood.
Incident reports provided by Waupun officials confirmed that inmates were subjected to the use of force, including tasers, pepper spray, knee strikes and takedowns, and in some cases sustained injuries. But the reports portrayed the prisoners as instigators, saying staff used only necessary force.
Two-thirds of those allegations involved a single correctional officer, Joseph Beahm, who has worked in Waupun's segregation unit since 2006. Beahm has never been disciplined for any inmate-related infraction, the Center reported.
Bill Lueders is the Money and Politics Project director at the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism (www.WisconsinWatch.org). The Center produces the project in partnership with MapLight.
The Center collaborates with Wisconsin Public Radio, Wisconsin Public Television, other news media and the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

Leggi questo articolo in italiano
In this retelling of the classic fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood, the main character is not a small girl but a young wolf, who has to bring a gift to his grandmother: a delicious rabbit.
His mother tells him to be aware in the woods, and to avoid any human, and in particular the hunter. However, Little Red Wolf wanders off in the woods and loses his path, and a young girl finds him, she seems so nice…
The Little Red Wolf is a wonderful book, firstly for the retelling of the story twisting the point of view we are used to, and where good and evil are not absolute as in the classic version of the story.
The illustration and art are truly amazing, extremely well-detailed and well-finished.
Thanks to the publisher for providing me the copy necessary to write this review.

All right, so I'm not a scorge or anything, in fact I love Christmas but I hate it when places close early for the holidays. Mainly I hate it that agents, editors, and publishing houses close like a week in advance for the holiday season. Hey! I'm still writing here and waiting! All right, so I understand that they don't want to start new material before they are closed for a few days. But this brings up a point to me. What is the proper amount of time to wait to her from a publisher?
At our monthly GCCRWA meeting this subject was brought up by a young lady who was waiting to hear back from an editor that she pitched to in March. Now, I pitched to the same editor and sent my material right then to her. I heard back from her on a short story in mid September. Two days ago I received an email from the same editor apologizing for her delay in getting my material back to me. I was like "What are you talking about?" turns out I'd sent her another story in September and she was sending me a "please submit more material but we pass on this ms." rejection. So for this editor the first time frame from submission to rejection was about five months. The second time was about three months. I like how her time frame is going down.
And just this past week I received a letter in the mail from an agent that I've queried many, many, many times. I hadn't remembered I'd sent her anything either. Which I had sent her the partial back in August. She apologized for the delay, saying that it had gotten lost on her desk. I've seen the work load this agent has and completely understand. Again this was a rejection but the personal hand written note was very appreciated. Her time frame:about four months.
Now for another editor, I sent a story to one editor after nationals in July. I emailed said editor to ask if she would like the partial via email or mail. This editor is in Canada so I figured she'd want to do email. NOPE. And she warned me that with taking over her new position that she was swamped and I wouldn't hear back from her until December. Thats six months! Oh well. But its December and they are closed for the holidays and still no word from her.
I hate emailing agents and editors to ask if they've read my material yet. I feel like its tacky and makes me look needy. But at the same time if their website says that an author will hear back from them in three months shouldn't I go with that and expect them to also? I just don't know. What would you do? Would you begin emailing away at three months or let it ride and see when you receive answers?
Ok, enough scorgey talk lets get to Holiday Giveaway Part 3!
On Rachel Firasek's blog http://www.rachelfirasek.com/ author Daryn Cross is giving away a free ebook.

Alternative Registries
Maybe you live in a loft apartment and don't have much space, or perhaps you already have all the items for your abode that you could possibly want. Whatever the reason, understand that you're not required to follow the traditional registry route of pots and pans and punch bowls—oh my! Guests truly want to give items that you need and that you'll enjoy, so if you're dreading the thought of having to return unwanted items, skip the scanning gun and register for the stuff you'll really love.
Honeymoon Additions
True, you can't really ask for your guests to pay for your all-inclusive getaway, but you can request that they chip in to allow you to do some extra fun activities while you're there. Honeyfund.com lets you register for personalized items on your honeymoon such as airfare miles, a relaxing couples' massage, a kayaking adventure, an upgrade for your room or a romantic dinner.
Pricey Pieces
So you've got all the dishes and serving ware you could ask for, but what you really want is that gorgeous dining room table from Decorum you've had your eye on. Newgiftregistry.com allows guests to contribute a dollar amount toward larger items including furniture, a new TV or any item that would be too expensive for one person to buy on their own.
The Gift of Giving
If you truly have everything you could ask for and would like to celebrate your love together by sharing with those less fortunate, you can opt for a charity registry. I Do Foundation allows couples to share the generosity of their guests with chosen charitable causes, so if you have a specific cause or a Hampton Roads organization or foundation that has made a difference in your life or that you'd like to support, encourage your guests to give the gift that really does keep on giving by donating to a charity that's close to your hearts.
Registry Rules
Even though it's perfectly fine to stray from tradition when forming your registry, there are certain standards that should be adhered to:
- Never make mention of gifts on your invitation. Although it's expected for guests to want to give gifts, it's not polite to mention it here, even if you're requesting that no gifts be sent. Instead, let your bridesmaids know where you're registered so they may pass the information along or put the information on your wedding website.
- Always send a Thank You note after receiving a wedding gift, even if it wasn't on your registry and even if you're pretty sure it was purchased at a yard sale in the 1960s. Even with today's ease of sending a text message or e-mail to get your message across, there's nothing like a hand-written note to show that you appreciate someone's generosity.

Guernsey Summer Shows
The South Show
14th – 15th August 2020
The West Show
19th – 20th August 2020
The North Show & Battle of Flowers
26th – 27th August 2020
Book and visit Guernsey for the summer shows
The Guernsey summer shows are a great way to get to know the island, its customs and taste some traditional food. Take a look at our Guernsey holiday packages with a choice of accommodation and ferry travel included as well as self-catering options.
The South, West and North traditional shows
Most countries have a tradition of celebrating their horticultural and agricultural produce and Summer shows are definitely part of the seasonal calendar in most counties in Britain. There's something quite magical in growing your own and seeing nature at its finest. It's also hard work and worthy of a celebration! Traditionally shows were held around harvest time as a way to let your hair down after all the hard work but as the historical books of Guernsey's West Show will reveal, sometimes it's better to celebrate when the weather is at its best and Guernsey certainly does this. The little island has a big agricultural and horticultural tradition and celebrates no less than 3 shows back to back in August. The Guernsey Summer shows are a real highlight of the summer season on the island and showcase not only the competitive element of rearing or growing 'the best of' but are full of lively entertainment, tradition and tasty home made goodies!
The South Show
The first of Guernsey's Summer shows kicks off in the south with an indoor show. Flowers, fruit, veggies, crafts, home baked goodies and preserves will be scrutinised carefully before winners are announced. As well as the exhibits there will be flower arranging demonstrations. With a Bonny Baby competition, children's fancy dress and decorated hat parade for all ages, there's plenty of entertainment on offer. Islanders who have entered the best island garden competition will hear the judges results and local dogs will be going through their paces to secure winning medals. Refreshments, bric a brac stalls, a WI book stall, pocket money games, face painting and a bouncy castle all make this a lovely occasion for everyone.
The show was originally founded in 1908 as St Martin's Cottage and Garden Society with a fruit, vegetable and flower competition. By 1923 a Sweet Pea and Rose Show had been added and horses and cattle the next year. Over the next ten years the show suffered under war constraints but by 1946 was back on its feet and incorporated St Peter Port to become the Southern Agricultural and Horticultural Society, or South Show.
The West Show
Following on from the south show, the midweek West Show is a large affair incorporating the islands biggest fun fair alongside the traditional country fair. Starting with a horse show on Tuesday, the event includes animal competitions (fur and feather), crafts and plenty of entertainment including motorcycle stunts, a period costume pageant, birds of prey display, jousting, live music, traditional fairground organ, Punch and Judy, beer tent and plenty of refreshments.
Originally founded in 1913 to promote and encourage agricultural and horticultural interests in the parishes of St Saviour's, St Pierre du Bois and Torteval, the committee minute books make for fascinating reading. The notes reveal insights into the traditions and customs behind the show, including a decision to allow English to be spoken along side traditional Guernsey-French and importing sheep to allow for a sheep dog display as there weren't enough on the island! The minutes also mention the visit from George V and Queen Mary in 1921 who admired the prize winning cattle.
The North Show & Guernsey Battle of Flowers
The last of Guernsey's summer shows is The North Show which incorporates the islands traditional Battle of Flowers. The show attracts thousands of visitors and offers the traditional judging categories for flowers, fruit, vegetables and livestock as well as professional and amateur entertainment, crafts, refreshments, a beer tent and live music. Some of the competitive elements include categories for fruit grown by the exhibitor including lemons, figs, and kiwi fruit, more accustomed to warmer climates. There's also a specific category for the best Golden Guernsey Goat!
The show culminates with the islands traditional Battle of Flowers Parades – one in the daytime and an illuminated evening parade followed by a spectacular fireworks display. Floats of all shapes and sizes are carefully decorated and compete for the title of "Prix D'Honneur" awarded to the best mobile floral float. The original 'battle' element was abandoned in the 1960's when the tradition of tearing the petals off the floats and showering them over the crowd got a bit out of hand! Today, the flowers stay intact to be magically illuminated for the evening cavalcade with the only 'battle' being for the prestigious winning titles.

Indigenous leader remains cautiously optimistic about President's promise
RIAU (foresthints.news) - Last year, Indonesia's numerous and diverse indigenous peoples were given cause for optimism when President Joko Widodo undertook to set up a taskforce to facilitate reconciliation efforts between indigenous peoples and the state with a view to protecting the rights of indigenous peoples.
President Jokowi, as he is popularly known, made this promise in a meeting held at the State Palace in June 2015 with the Indigenous People's Alliance of the Archipelago, commonly referred to by its Indonesian acronym of AMAN, an alliance representing 2,253 indigenous groups.
AMAN has long been pushing for more recognition and rights for indigenous peoples as well as their greater involvement in environmental matters affecting them, especially those that pertain to the forests in and around which many of the communities live.
The indigenous communities have come to feel that the forests they call home have turned into political and economic tools for the benefit of the government and big corporations, while indigenous peoples themselves have been left out of forestry-related policies and planning.
The optimism provided by Jokowi's proposed initiative has diminished somewhat as the promised taskforce has failed to materialize. However, this may be explained by the fact that the President was overwhelmingly preoccupied with tackling last year's massive land and forest fires and associated haze.
In December last year, the President once again raised the hopes and spirits of Indonesia's indigenous peoples when he mentioned the role the indigenous communities have played in combating climate change and called for their greater involvement in the issue, in a speech delivered at the UN Climate Conference in Paris.
With a further half year having passed since then, foresthints.news sought to gauge the current feelings of the country's indigenous peoples in an interview with the AMAN Secretary General, Abdon Nababan, on the sidelines of an AMAN event held in Pekanbaru, the capital of Sumatra's Riau province, on Wednesday (Jul 20).
We started out by asking Abdon what AMAN's demands are with respect to the action that needs to be taken by President Jokowi.
"Indonesia has one of the most progressive constitutions related to indigenous rights. Of course, Jokowi needs to take action to fulfill those rights. One, Indonesia has to have national indigenous peoples' rights, and it has to resolve problems and conflicts that are right now happening all over the country. To do these two things, Jokowi needs to have a taskforce. We need a taskforce, a presidential taskforce right now."
Asked specifically about the meeting that took place at the State Palace last year and whether there have been any concrete follow-up measures taken with regard to it, the AMAN Secretary General seemed slightly disappointed.
"The meeting with Jokowi came to an agreement that the President would establish a taskforce. The question right now is that this taskforce was supposed to be formed last year, so we are already now at least six years late (five years of time spent waiting during SBY's term and one year under Jokowi) from what we discussed. So I think we will still continue to communicate with the President's office about how to make this happen."
Abdon also sought to differentiate the approach of Jokowi's administration in relation to addressing AMAN's concerns and demands with that of his predecessor.
"The substance of Jokowi's commitment is, of course, a continuation from SBY's term, but the difference that Jokowi brings to this issue is planning, which he has put in his agenda. I think that's the difference, but of course we still need action, concrete action on the ground. We need that right now, but the planning, the plan, is already there."
He was guarded when asked if he remained optimistic that the President would keep his promise of forming a taskforce and prioritizing the rights of indigenous peoples.
"This year will be a very crucial time. If Jokowi fails to fulfill his commitment this year, I think support (for our cause) will dissipate. The indigenous people will be disappointed. But, yes I am still optimistic about Jokowi, at least for this year. So we still continue (hoping) that Jokowi will do something different this year."
When asked by foresthints.news to make some final additional comments, Abdon took the opportunity to make an appeal for action from the Indonesian President.
"Now is the time for Jokowi of course to really bring this issue into his agenda, because Jokowi's priority on infrastructure development is also very related to indigenous rights. So this is the time for Jokowi to do something."

Smartphones are fragile, but Proporta's gone to great lengths to show that we don't have to constantly live in fear of breaking our expensive pocket gadgets. The company's proved that protective cases are… well, protective, by holding an EXTREME DROP TEST. The team strapped a cover on the iPhone 6S and launched the damn thing high into the air with a Bottle Rocket. As you can see from the video below, it survives the ordeal unscathed (though it does land on a thick blanket of luscious grass).
The case in question is the £19.95 Dual Shield for iPhone 6/6S, which claims to offer 'military-grade' protection.

Barclays Bank,

Quakers have played a very important role in the history of Darlington and its environs – and at a time when they were barred from political life, universities, the judiciary and a whole host of other roles in society. Being forced into their own businesses, they often found themselves acting as our bankers, financiers and industrialists – with startling results.
One such tale is the rise of the mighty Barclays Bank, which can trace a substantial portion of its roots to the town of
James Backhouse, a wealthy Quaker flax dresser and linen manufacturer, set up
Backhouse's Bank in the town in 1774 – originally as a sideline to his main
business (from the 1750s), then subsequently as an entity in its own right. As
the Industrial Revolution took hold in the years following this bold move, the
institution grew, too – essentially bankrolling the growth of the railways and
related industries of the area (most notably financing the Stockton &
Darlington Railway).
James's sons, Jonathan and James Jnr, helped and then succeeded their father; and in turn Jonathan's son (another Jonathan) took over. The next generation (Edmund) took things even further; to be followed by his son, Sir Jonathan Backhouse – under whose guidance the bank merged with Gurney's Bank of Norwich and the existing Barclays of London in 1896 to form the nationwide monster that we now know as Barclays Bank. At the time of the merger of these institutions – all of them Quaker-run – there were 20 Backhouse branches across the region, and this northern powerhouse was one of the lead banks in the amalgamation.
Interestingly, the Backhouse and Barclay families even intermarried. Alfred Backhouse, who for a time ran the HQ of the Backhouse empire from what is now the Barclays Bank building in High Row,
Darlington, married Rachel Barclay in
1851. The couple, who were extremely wealthy, were pioneers of public health,
helping to establish two hospitals in the town. Similarly, Alfred's nephew,
James Edward, also married into the Barclay family.
Many of the above named individuals are buried in the Quaker (Friends) Burial Ground in the town.

Legends in the Law: Charles T. Duncan
(Appeared in Bar Report, June/July 1996)
Charles T. Duncan, currently a member of the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal in The Hague, Netherlands, has practiced law for more than 40 years, during which he has amassed a significant number of firsts: first general counsel of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission; first president-elect of the D.C. Bar and first African-American D.C. Bar president; first chair of the D.C. Judicial Selection Commission.
A graduate of Dartmouth College and Harvard Law School, Duncan has been in private practice with several D.C. firms, in public service in the Office of the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia and of the Office of the Corporation Counsel for the District of Columbia, and served as law professor and as dean of the Howard University School of Law.
Bar Report: Where did it all begin?
Charles Duncan: I am a District of Columbia native. I was born quite literally in the 400 block of Florida Avenue and, until I moved down to Annapolis last July, I lived in only four different places, all in the Northwest. I went to D.C. public schools through the ninth grade, Patterson Junior High School at 10th and U. Then I went away to Northfield Mount Hermon School, a preparatory school in New England, and then to Dartmouth. D.C. public schools, although segregated, were very, very strong schools. I had two years of Latin at Garnet-Patterson, and in ninth-grade English we read The Odyssey and The Iliad so I had a strong academic background going into preparatory school.
BR: When did you decide to go into the law?
CD: I hate to admit this but I was senior in college, and it was quite clear that I needed to further my education. I eliminated medicine and the ministry and teaching—which were really about the only options a young black kid had in those days. I ended up going to law school thinking it would finish off a nice liberal education, but after about six weeks I said, "Hey, this is very, very nice," and decided to make it my profession. But I cannot pretend I wanted to be a lawyer since I was eight years, and I think more lawyers went to law school for reasons like mine than because they had seen Perry Mason.
BR: How was Harvard Law?
CD: By then I was used to being the first Negro here and the first Negro there and basically so it was at Harvard. My class at Harvard, the Class of 1950 which entered in 1947, was the first post-war class. Returning veterans had the G.I. Bill available to them so there were in fact seven or eight black students in my class. Then it went back to ones and twos and threes and fours all the way into the 1960s. However, only two black students in my class graduated. The other was Clarence Holloway who interestingly enough was a blind student who got through Harvard despite his disability.
BR: What was your first job?
CD: For some reason I was convinced I could only practice law in New York City, so I went with one of the leading Wall Street firms: Rosenman, Goldmark, Colin, and Kaye. I suppose I ought add that I interviewed with 15 or 20 of the top Wall Street law firms and all of them said, "Mr. Duncan, we are ready to have our first Negro associate, but our clients are not ready." I was not offered a job in any of the mainstream firms, but Rosenman was one of the leading so-called Jewish firms.
As it turned out I hated it. I didn't like big city living, and I didn't like big firm practice. I was assigned to a partner who specialized in wills and estates, although I did general corporate work. Like any new associate I basically did research, had little or no client contact, no courtroom contact at all. I stayed for three years and then I came back here.
BR: What was your first job in the District?
CD: It was with a very small four-person firm called Lawson, Mackenzie, and Robinson. The Lawson was the late Belford Lawson, the Mackenzie was Marjorie Mackenzie who became a juvenile court judge, and the Robinson was Aubrey E. Robinson Jr. who became a U.S. District Court judge and later chief judge and now a senior judge of the District Court. That association didn't last very long. Aubrey Robinson and I left and, together with Frank Reeves, a leading civil rights attorney and namesake of the D.C. government's Reeves Building, we formed Reeves, Robinson, and Duncan.
BR: Were there many black lawyers in Washington at that time?
CD: Not numerically in the sense that there are today, but there was certainly a thriving and active black bar. It was strictly limited in terms of what we could do and what clients we were able to attract, but certainly the criminal field and the commercial contract field—small contracts— insurance, divorce, were very active. It just so happened that during those years the firm, through Frank Reeves, was approached to represent one of the second-string communists in New York, a man named James E. Jackson Jr. After much soul searching, we undertook to represent him and I spent six months back in New York. He was duly convicted by the U.S. District Court, but in this case the Smith Act, which outlawed advocating forcible overthrow of the government, was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and our client was released. That was probably the biggest case we had.
BR: What prompted you to go to work for the government?
CD: We had a political awakening in 1956 in that citizens of D.C. for the first time were able to vote in the presidential elections. Before then Washingtonians could vote for nothing; we were "electoral eunuchs," if that's the way to put it. Frank Reeves and I were both politically active as Democrats. In 1960, as a member of the Democratic Central Committee, I was active in [John F.] Kennedy's campaign. I don't remember what I did—not a lot—but I was active, as young lawyers were. Growing out of that and my desire to join government as part of the Kennedy turnover, I had a choice of positions in the U.S. Attorney's office or with the State Department.
I was briefly chief of the appellate division of the U.S. Attorney's office. But going in it was understood that I would become principal assistant U.S. attorney after a few months, and I served in that position for almost four years. In those days, all criminal cases except minor ones were tried the U.S. District Court. In fact, even to this day the U.S. Attorney prosecutes local crimes, the only jurisdiction in the country where that's true.
BR: What were your most memorable cases?
CD: I tried 21 felony cases including a couple of first-degree murders, but the most interesting case was one I tried with the late Luke Moore, who later became a Superior Court judge, against an impostor attorney whose name was, believe it or not, Daniel Jackson Oliver Wendell Holmes Morgan. He was quite literally a jailhouse lawyer who learned his law while incarcerated out in Chicago. He came to the District and adopted the identity of Lawrence Archie Harris, a real D.C. Bar member who was then practicing in Sacramento, California. He practiced for 18 months before he was caught up with. Curiously enough, there was a D.C. Code provision that prohibited practicing law without a license, but no section two specifying any penalty for doing so. We had to put together a conglomerate of charges against him: embezzlement, larceny, larceny after trust, false report, and mail fraud. Because he had appeared before all the District judges, the judges accused themselves, so they had to import a judge from Memphis, Tennessee. Morgan was represented by a lawyer, now deceased, named King David who was rather flamboyant himself. Old-timers like myself will remember King David. The trial went on for a couple of weeks and we played to a full house every day.
BR: What was your next government job?
CD: I went to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which was created by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as its first general counsel. That was fascinating. I didn't appreciate it at the time but it involved the birth of a federal agency. The general counsel staff in those days consisted of four lawyers: general counsel, deputy general counsel, two assistants. Four of us did the whole thing, but four was a quantum leap above what existed before and we had a statute outlawing discrimination in employment. That first year was organizational, making rules on what was a complaint and when it had to be notarized—basic questions like that. Then we began to get into policy areas. We really had a messianic zeal—everyone in the agency did—to eradicate employment discrimination in the U.S. We thought we could do it; we thought we would do it. All my jobs have been interesting, but that is the one that I thought held the greatest promise.
In retrospect, I certainly think the EEOC has made a gigantic contribution to what I would call social progress. It had greater impact in the field of women than in the field of minorities, but that's fine. In retrospect, and having grown up, I realize that fundamental problems in the society cannot be solved overnight.
BR: When did you join the District of Columbia government?
CD: In 1966, after a year with the EEOC, I was offered the position of corporation counsel for the District of Columbia. That was an exciting time. During my first year in the office, D.C. was still run by the old three-man Board of Commissioners which was appointed by the President and exercised both legislative and regulatory authority. In 1972, the Home Rule Act passed and there was an election for mayor and city council. But before then there was an interim period when, by executive order, President Johnson reorganized the city government and there came into being an appointed commissioner—called "mayor"—and an appointed city council. Of course Walter Washington was the first appointed mayor and, later, the first elected mayor.
During the transition from a commission form of government to an appointed form of government, someone in my office had to go through the D.C. Code and separate the executive functions from the regulatory functions. It was like unscrambling an egg, a massive undertaking. The actual moment of transition was of great legal interest to me as a city lawyer because we had to be careful that things didn't lapse, police power for example. And no sooner had the new city government come into effect than we had the Martin Luther King riots. That was in April 1968 when the new government was less than a year old.
BR: Who was in charge during the riots?
CD: Books have been written about this. Article One of the Constitution says Congress shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the seat of government but, over the years, statutes were passed which vested certain executive functions in the President—appointing the Board of Commissioners for example. By the time of the riots, you have one center of authority in the White House and another in Congress. On the second day of the riots, it was the President—after consultation with the mayor—who called up the National Guard and sent federal troops. I remember vividly being in the room at two o'clock that afternoon when Lyndon Johnson called Mayor Washington and decided then and there to send the troops.
Resurrection City happened later that summer, a big, big event in the life of the city. The whole plot of ground immediately south of the Reflecting Pool became an encampment of shacks and flats and tents. The demonstrators camped for a month in my recollection. It could have been a shorter time but it seemed like forever. We got together in the mayor's office every morning at seven o'clock—the National Park Service and Park Police and D.C. Police and the D.C. Fire Department—to review the events of the day before and decide what to do next. Eventually, it got to a point where the constructive purposes of the march had run its course and the police chief just closed it down. Most of the people had gone by then; it was almost abandoned.
I left the D.C. government in 1970. I was close to turning 50 and had to decide if I wanted to remain a government attorney for the rest of my career or return to private practice. I made the decision to return to private practice. Walter Washington was at the very least more than willing to have me stay on—he and I had a wonderful relationship—but I felt it was time to move on. So I joined a law school classmate, Lionel Epstein, in his small firm Epstein, Friedman, and Medalie which became Epstein, Friedman, Duncan, and Medalie.
BR: Were you involved in the formation of the D.C. Bar?
CD: No. The idea of having a unified Bar grew out of what was then the new D.C. Court of Appeals. The reason I'm pretty sure I wasn't involved is that I got a telephone call asking me to run for president-elect. That year, because it was the first year, they had to elect a president and president-elect at the same time. As I remember I had to inform myself as to what the unified Bar was all about.
BR: Did anyone run against you?
CD: Yes, but I don't remember who. The basic structure was there, but it was so new nobody did any campaigning. The first two years were largely organizational, establishing committee structures. Sections came along a little bit later. As far as issues were concerned, certainly the image of lawyers was an issue. I sort of made that a priority of mine. Pro bono was even then a big issue. CLE hadn't come up on the radar screen. Judicial evaluation was not an issue, but dues level was.
BR: What do you think of today's Bar?
CD: I have watched with interest both the EEOC and the D.C. Bar. There's no similarity between the two except that both started simply, small, focused on objectives, and both have grown and grown and grown so that many years later it's hard to for me to say, "That's what I used to be part of." The original [D.C. Bar] charter gave us authority over anything that affected the administration of justice, which was pretty broad. We used to get involved in legislation and all kinds of matters. The referendum in 1979—which grew out of complaints by some members over rising dues levels—limited the authority and powers of the Bar mainly to the disciplinary function. I'd like to see it go back to the pre-referendum days, but I'm not going to hold my breath until it happens.
BR: What drew you to Howard Law School?
CD: What's of interest to me about my career is that, except at the beginning, I never sought or interviewed for a job; I was always approached. With Howard, the academic vice president acting on behalf of the president asked me to come to the law school. I was very familiar with the law school, having taught there on and off on a part-time basis from 1954 to 1961. I knew the law school, I knew a lot of the faculty, I obviously had strong feelings about legal education generally and legal education for minority lawyers in particular, so it was sort of natural for me to want to do it.
BR: Did you enjoy the academic life?
CD: Of the various positions that I have had, that was the one I would regard as the least rewarding. There are things you learn about yourself, and I learned that at heart I am a courtroom lawyer. Without in any sense downplaying the importance of legal education—I grew up in a family of educators—to me that was not the courtroom and I did not find it as stimulating as everything else I had done to that point and everything I've done since.
BR: When did you serve on the D.C. Judicial Selection Commission?
CD: I was on the commission from 1977 to 1984, the first years of the commission, and I was chairman the first five years. I was the appointee of the mayor, who appoints one member. Other members are appointed by the D.C. Bar, D.C. City Council, the White House, and the Federal Court. Whenever there's a vacancy in either the D.C. Superior Court or D.C. Court of Appeals, the commission sends three names over to the White House and the White House is obliged to select from among those three. If the White House doesn't act within 60 days, the commission is empowered to make the nomination directly to Senate. This has never happened.
The commission gave D.C. a good deal of say in who went on the bench. For example, if we decided we needed a woman, we'd send over three women's names and we'd get a woman. The same with blacks or whites or Hispanics or whatever. During those early years, while I was chairman, we participated in the process of selecting some 40 judges and it remade the Superior Court. If one were to look at the Superior Court before the commission came along and look at the Superior Court five years later, you would see the difference.
BR: Where did you go after Howard?
CD: To Peabody, Rivlin, Lambert, and Myers, general practice, a full-service law firm. For other career reasons I felt it was best to go with a larger firm which gave me greater flexibility and better ability to attract clients. Interestingly enough, a fair amount of time was devoted to work for Howard University which was in the midst of a lot of development problems. It had a hospital, a radio station, the usual problems of a university like tenure denial and alleged wrongful discharge. It had real estate problems because it had acquired the Van Ness campus where the law school is located and a campus out in Brookland where the divinity school is located.
Peabody Lambert was just a wonderful firm in terms of partners, associates, equipment—just cutting edge. But we grew faster than our client base and we just got to the point where, as an economic matter, the thing to do was to dissolve the partnership, which was done amicably. Three of us went to Reid & Priest, an old-line New York City law firm that got started back in the 1930s primarily active in utilities regulation. It has the reputation of having the oldest Washington branch office of any major New York firm. At Reid & Priest I continued Howard University work and—again affirmative action rears its head—I got involved in Resolution Trust Company work. I had decided to retire when I was 70 which would have been at the end of 1994. In anticipation of this, I had taken senior status at Reid & Priest and cut back on my time when the Iran-U.S. Claims Tribunal came along.
BR: What's the Tribunal?
CD: It's an international arbitral tribunal created by the Algiers Accord as part of the hostage settlement with Iran back in 1981. The accords provided for a return of assets and a lot of other things—most notably return of the hostages—but they also created this tribunal to arbitrate claims between the two governments or its citizens. It's still in existence 15 years later and I'm the new man, coming up on my third year. There are three U.S. representatives, three Iranians, and three neutral country members. My appointment is a wonderful example of affirmative action because obviously there was an interest in having a minority represent the U.S., so they looked around and found me. It's full time but, given where we are in the life of the Tribunal, it's not as busy or as time-sensitive or time-demanding as it used to be. I'm over in The Hague about eight months out of the year.
BR: Speaking as an almost retired lawyer, what words of encouragement can you offer those just entering the profession?
CD: The role of lawyers has always been misunderstood and underappreciated. But that doesn't take away from the fact that lawyers have always been critical to the establishment of the democratic form of government as we know it and the preservation of the democratic form of government as we know it. The lawyers I look up to as heroes are the First Amendment lawyers and criminal defense lawyers who define the limits of the First Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment and other basic rights of citizenship. That to me is where the core of democracy lies, and that's why I'm proud to be a lawyer, and that's why I don't worry too much about the lawyer jokes.

We decided to stay above Hambleden Lock for another day as the forecasted rain came on Tuesday during the night and it never let up the whole of Wednesday.
So 9:30 Thursday morning we pulled away ...
and headed for the lock
We weren't the only ones on the move, there was a queue at the lock and not enough room for this huge barge to get onto the lock landing so we had to wait mid-river too
The view was pleasant enough though
The barge gets onto the landing
... and we pull in behind but there is no way I'm stepping off into that!
We were moored over there just in front of the second boat to the right of the picture
I wonder if this is the meadow where the Rewind Festival will take place next weekend, they appear to be bringing lots of 'stuff' in on lorries.
This is what happens when boaters don't pay their mooring fees around here.
The lock keeper motions the barge to come in and us to follow
I asked the lady on board to put the tiller the other way as I didn't want us to get caught up with it, we were that close!
A hire boat came in too
We descended the lock slowly and safely, gates open and off the barge went
Looking back as we started to leave the lock I was surprised to see that there were two cruisers behind us.
Passing Hambleden weir bridge which would take us to the marina (our winter mooring again this year)
Tug Churn is pulling a hopper with what looks like an effluent tank in it, the contents of which were being transferred to the tanker on the bank, this is how the elsan and pump outs must be emptied at locks with no vehicle access.
Although we've had lots of rain, we've still not had enough to warrant opening the weir sluices
The two swans in the right hand picture were 'courting'
Culham House
We were soon settled at another favourite mooring on the meadow at Medmenham for a few days.

Almost certain that this is the correct procedure, but want confirmation.
The target drive is OS-1TB-SSD. The backup is on a WD Elements external drive.
In the DOS recovery environment the "restore from" dialog is as follows...
Elements (next)
IFW folder (next)
Specific back-up file (next)
OS-1TB-SSD drive (active)
It's the drive name of this last entry that gives pause. Is that indeed the back-up file on the Elements drive, to be restored to OS-1TB-SSD?
Thereafter, the "restore to" target lists this same C: drive.
Simple mode is not used when creating images. At restore via DOS a prompt appears to the effect that it cannot detect backups made in simple mode and to disable that mode in settings.
When that is done the UI responds that "settings could not be saved." But CANCEL, and you're allowed to proceed.
Can this extra step be overcome? And is there a way to save the product key when using this utility, instead of having to retype it each time? Gracias

Organic means you are going to pay more for the same product. What the hell is organic coming from the Caribbean? Everything I ate as a child was organic because no one used any evil stuff on our food. Our fertilizer were the cowdung, sheep dung and fowl dung, everything was dung. Everything was fresh. We never had a refrigerator and every single day my mom cooked up fresh food , nowadays with all the conveniences around people still have no time to cook for their family, but stuff things in fridge and pass that off as food warmed in micro-wave ovens. Is it any wonder people are living long only because of ,medical intervention. If there was no medicine people would have been dying by 40 years old. This expanding life expectancy in the west is not because of health outcomes but because of pills and machines that are keeping people breathing.
My folks live up to their 80's and died with dignity. they had their wits about them, they raised their family and I believe were ready to go with everything they came with. The only pills my mother took was for her high blood pressure, other wise everything was in tact and she died of a broken heart three months after my dad passed away. They worked hard and ate well and raised us to cook and eat good food – maybe a little less salt.
So this thing that people are throwing at us to make us pay more money for food is a fraud. You have to pay more for free run eggs and free run chickens and grass-fed cows – what's going on here are these not the natural things that should happen. We are living in a messed up society where they care more about money than you where pharmaceuticals and the food producers are in collusion to keep us unhealthy and feeding us pills, antibiotics and chemicals to keep us dependent on more chemicals. Wake up people and if you have a patch of land, plant your own food, move to the country, raise a couple of chickens or go vegetarian, you will be healthier and happier. Let us return to how our old people in Leguan lived and taught us to live.

My kid is about to turn 3 and for some reason he keeps asking for a cake with a picture of him on it. My husband sent me this link: SIMPLE CHOCOLATE PAINTING TECHNIQUE from the Eye Candy Food Blog.
At first I was thinking, "yeah right. SIMPLE MY ASS. This has to be one of those things that someone can make look simple but in reality will come out looking like crap". And maybe it is, I have a hard enough time just tempering my chocolate.
Check back in with me in like mid May to find out how I fare with my kids birthday cake.

Al Waha
Time Out says
This long-established Westbourne Grove stalwart continues to produce Lebanese cooking of the highest order. Inside the smallish corner premises, a profusion of plants, seating on different levels and professional and friendly staff make for an atmosphere that, while not exactly informal, is comfortable. The quality of the dining experience is reflected in Al Waha's popularity – it was buzzing on a recent evening visit. We began our meal with some diverse meze dishes: a gloriously oily, chilli-hot, nutty muhamara; a bright, lemony fuul moukala (fried broad beans); fattoush salad bursting with freshness, the crisp salad warmed by sumac spice, the toasted pitta bread crunchy; and the warmly flavoured comfort dish moujadara – a mixture of rice and lentils, topped with crisp caramelised onion. There was tabouleh too, composed of the tiniest chopped shreds of herbs with lashings of tangy lemon. As we ate, bread came regularly and unobtrusively to the table, served warmed and puffed up from the oven. We shared a mixed grill too: perfectly tender chunks of lamb, chicken and köfte. This was a reminder of how Lebanese food should be – traditionally and painstakingly prepared and a joy to eat.

I extremly do not recommend it ,its over price and tastless food with no qulity their are many restaurents much better than this.
Great food! Falafel is amazing! Great place to go with friends
This was one of the worst meals I have eaten in a long time. It tasted of absolutely nothing and the okra was completely unidentifiable. Where the 5 star Time out review came from I have no idea. One star was too much but I couldn't select zero stars.
Very dissapointed. A friend of mine organised dinner for us in this resturant. I enquired whether the food is halal and waiter gave me a very hesitatnt 'yeeeees' and when i asked where is the certificate his answer 'we do not have one'. So I concluded it was not halal so please be aware of that. When we ordered we were told we have to order above or equal to £13.50 not less. my friend that booked this resturant enquired no one told her and they said we do not usually say on the phone. The food was average nothing special. Overpriced and woud not recommend!
I brought some friends to Al Waha as it had been a decent restaurant in the past. This time, we ordered two bottles of the house wine. The waiter asked us if we wanted French or Lebanese wine. We told him we wanted the house. He told us that both were house wines. At the end of the meal, we received the bill. The wine was double the price of the house wine we ordered. We quietly mentioned this to the waiter and he just laughed at us. He said he didn't think it was necessary to tell us that the house wine was two different prices. We spoke to a number of different staff members and they were incredibly rude to us. We explained that we were repeat customers but they didn't care. We will never go there again. So dishonest.

For agriculture and stock breeding.
The dictionary meaning of salt is; (NaCl) an odorless crystal element found in nature, that dissolves in water which is used for preservation of food and raw stuff, which also gives a salty taste to food but; salt is much more important than its dictionary meaning for life. Salt contains vital minerals such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium. These minerals make our body functioning well, support a healthy blood circulation and strengthen our muscle system. It helps us to have a healthy and dynamic life by regulating our acid-base and electrolyte balances.
Yetişkin bir insan vücudunda ortalama 250 gr. Tuz bulunur. İnsan vücudunun ihtiyacı olan tuz miktarı günde 6 gramdır. Aşırı tuz tüketimi hücrelerin çok fazla sodyum tutmasına sebep olur. Bu durum ödem ve şişkinlik, su kaybı ve susuzluğa yol açabilir. Çok fazla miktarlarda tüketilen tuz tansiyonun yükselmesine yani hipertansiyona sebep olabilir. Bununla birlikte 6 gr. dan daha az tüketimi de olumsuzluklar yaşatabilir. Örneğin; sodyum eksikliği, halsizlik, yorgunluk ve tansiyon düşmesi gibi rahatsızlıklar gözlenebilir.
An average adult body contains 250 gr. salt. Average salt consumption of a human body should be 6 grams per day. Overconsumption of salt causes cells to retain too much sodium. In this case edema, bloating, dehydrantion and thirst can be experienced. In addition, overconsumption of salt can cause hypertension. Besides consuming less than 6 grams of salt can cause health problems such as lack of sodium, weakness, fatigue and drop in the blood preasure.
Rock salt deposits, the hidden treasure under the ground, are formed of evaporation and desiccation of sea and closed basins at geological times. Inside the caves there is nothing toxic and the rocks taken from that clean environment are transferred to the facility. First step at the facility is crushing. Rocks become small stones in this step then they are melted at the pool, getting ready for the decontamination. During the decontamination step, salt is separated from clay and other foreign substances. At evaporation process, salt is evaporated and they become salt crystals. Those crystals are put into centrifuge machine. When the centrifuge process is over salt is ready for the last step: dryer. After being dried, steps of refining procedure are over. We would like to indicate that during all those steps our salt is analyzed at both local and international labs and only then is ready for consumption. After packaging it is delivered to the domestic market and worldwide.
One of the most important things regarding salt consumption is the source of the salt. Nowadays sea and lakes are getting polluted day by day. On the contrary salt mines are still clean as they are under the ground. The healthiest salt for our body is the one without getting effected by the waste materials. Moreover rock salt is good for migraine headaches, gout illness, power loss of muscles and asthma.
Iodine is an essential mineral for our body to have a healthy metabolism.
Iodine is one of the vital minerals for health and its main function for our body is to secrete hormone from thyroid gland at our neck. Iodine is essential for proper work of thyroid gland which has role in thermoregulatory, physical activities, nervation, brain functions and body development. Pregnant women should get enough iodine in order to keep the baby healthy. The best method for iodine deficiency and prevention of goiter illness is to iodize salt. Unless indicated otherwise by doctors it is recommended to consume iodized salt. In order to keep the salt iodized it should be kept in cool and dry environments in sun proof, proper containers.
During pregnancy, iodine deficiency may cause miscarriage, stillbirth, mental and physical dysfunctions. During childhood and teenage periods iodine deficiency may cause mental and physical dysfunctions. During adulthood stage iodine deficiency may cause mental and physical dysfunctions and goiter.
Malnutrition is the one of the main problems of this era. Not enough consumption of fruits and vegetables or consuming inorganic fruits and vegetables cause lack of minerals in our body. In need of minerals, our body tries to supply desiderata from salt that is why we want to consume more salt
As is known 70% of an average human body is water. As we can't live without water we can't live without salt too because the water in the body is retained by the proper level of salt.

New Instruments in Foresight Studies
Presentation on New Instruments in Foresight Studies at the "Research Workshop Foresight and Science, Technology and Innovation Policies: Best Practices" (Higher School of Economics, Russia).
The workshop was attended by some 100 stakeholders representing the research, business and public sectors in Russia. International speakers included Prof. Ian Miles, Prof. Luke Georghiou, Dr. Michael Keenan and Dr. Jennifer Cassingena Harper, among others.
How are foresight methods selected?
Purpose – This paper addresses a challenging topic, which in both academic and professional literatures has been widely discussed but mainly from one single angle – that is, how to select foresight methods. From that point of view researchers and consultants promote (even if unintentionally) the use of particular methods. Here the question of selection is raised from a different perspective: how are foresight methods selected?
Design/methodology/approach – The guiding ''theory'' is that a better understanding of the fundamental attributes of foresight methods and their linkages to the core phases of a foresight process, together with the identification of possible patterns in the selection of methods, will provide useful insights as to how the selection of methods is carried out.
Findings – So far the selection of foresight methods has been dominated by the intuition, insight, impulsiveness and – sometimes – inexperience or irresponsibility of practitioners and organisers. This paper reveals that the selection of foresight methods (even if not always coherent or systematic) is a multi-factor process, and needs to be considered as such.
Practical implications – The results can be utilised by lecturers and students to describe and understand better the use of foresight methods, and by organisers of foresight (including practitioners) to better inform decisions during the design of (hopefully) more coherent methodological frameworks.
Originality/value – The paper combines practical concepts and frameworks (such as the Foresight Process and the Foresight Diamond) with innovative analyses to represent and visualise better the combination of methods in 886 case studies, for example introducing the Methods Combination Matrix (MCM) to examine the dynamics of a mix of methods.
Keywords – Research methods, Design, Forward planning, Strategic planning, Creative thinking, Decision making
Type – Research paper

Standards of Teaching
All teachers who are approved to teach on italki agree to our Teacher Terms of Service. In addition to our Teacher Terms of Service, we ask that all teachers adhere to our Teacher Code of Conduct.
The italki Teacher Code of Conduct serves as general teaching guidelines for all italki Teachers (both Professional Teachers and Community Tutors). The purpose of our italki Teacher Code of Conduct is to:
- Encourage the highest standards of behaviour for all teachers in their relationships with italki students by setting out clear statements of expectation
- Provide a set of principles to guide teachers in their everyday conduct and assist them when interacting and teaching italki students
As our teachers come from all over the world and may adhere to different cultural norms, our italki Teacher Code of Conduct has been created based on universally accepted standards of respect and tolerance. It does not cover every specific situation but provides guidelines for ethical and professional behaviour.
italki Teacher Code of Conduct
1. Be Culturally Sensitive: Respect the values and traditions of your Students
Until you build a stronger rapport with your student, try to avoid asking the following questions (unless specifically requested by the student) during your teaching sessions:
- Personal life Avoid asking students if they are married and or single (i.e. Do you have a girlfriend/boyfriend?)
- Politics Avoid asking students about their political affiliations
- Religion Avoid asking students about their religious views
2. Be Patient and Polite
Since students come from different backgrounds and have different language levels, it is important to be patient and polite and help them through their language learning difficulties. Encourage them! Do not discourage them.
- Do not berate, yell or insult students Do not tell them they are dumb or insult their current level of language ability
- Do not use rude or foul language Teach using respectful language and professional courtesy
- Do not lose your temper with a student If you are not sure that you will be able to handle a situation with composure, you are welcome to contact italki Support (firstname.lastname@example.com) or to suggest that the student contact italki Support to resolve the issue.
3. Provide Professional Service
As teachers on italki, you are providing a service to students who are paying for your services. Teachers must take the initiative in communicating with and managing students. Professionalism includes:
- Responsiveness Be prompt in replying to student questions and sessions requests.
- Responsibility and reliability Maintain your calendar to accurately reflect the times you can be available for lessons.
- Respect for student privacy Recording audio or video of students is not acceptable without the student's prior written or recorded consent. It is a violation of privacy to publicly post a recording of another person without that person's written permission.
- Actively manage your profile Regularly check in to answer messages, adjust your time availability schedule and update your status. As students can view a teacher's last login time, teachers who actively manage their profile will attract more students. If you plan to take time off, update your profile accordingly to remove yourself from active teacher listings.
- Teach your language Students are paying you to teach them a new language. Do not use this time to practice the student's native language. Try to give students more speaking time.
4. File Sharing
We have created "File Sharing" in order to improve convenience and facilitate better language learning between teachers and students. We ask that teachers and students use this feature as intended and do not use File Sharing to:
- Share anything illegal
- Send spam. For example unwanted or unsolicited pictures, gifs, emojis or files.
- Share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity).
- Engage in activity that is harmful to you, italki, or others (e.g. transmitting viruses).
- Infringe upon the rights of others (e.g., unauthorized sharing of copyrighted music or other copyrighted material, or photographs).
italki Lesson Policy (More details)
We have received numerous feedback from users confused about individual lesson policies. To ensure clarity for both teachers and students, we have decided to remove "Lesson Cancellation Policy (optional)". All teachers should be aware of italki's Lesson Policy as this will be used in the event of a dispute. These changes will come into effect on April 2nd 2019. (Link)
- Commitment A confirmed lesson is a commitment you make with your students. Reschedule or cancel as a last resort and only after you have communicated this with your student. If you know you'll be away and unable to respond to students, take the responsibility to notify your students of your absence and update your profile accordingly.
- If there is a dispute both student and teacher need to provide evidence in the form of screenshots (showing any relevant information including time and date).
- Start lessons on time Teachers should initiate contact with students, particularly if it is a first-time student.
- Connecting with student Teachers should connect with their students on the agreed communication platform before the lesson time.
- Waiting for a student Teachers should wait for the student until the lesson end time. The teacher should be available to start the lesson at the time the student attends. The teacher is not required to make up for lost time teaching time. (More details)
- End lessons on time Teachers should politely let students know that their lessons are ending by reminding them before the lesson ends. You may politely tell the student you need to prepare for an upcoming session with another student.
- If a student fails to attend a lesson and requests to reschedule the class, then it is the teacher's choice to agree or disagree.
italki Cancellation & Rescheduling Policy
1. More than 24 hours before the lesson start time: Rescheduling of confirmed lessons is only possible if both the student and the teacher agree (this must be done via the italki website and mobile app).
