Sorry friends, did not mean to leave you hanging from the last post. We closed, moved, and found out that we're a bit out in the country and the whole internet and cable business isn't as eager to get you back to your Real Housewives addiction as the suburbs. So, we've gone now two weeks and counting without internet and cable. We also had a faulty dishwasher so I went 12 days without one of those too until Thursday. To sum up the past two weeks I'd say this preggo girl has been roughing it.
But we are making progress on unpacking each day. I sort of over did it that first week and ended up with a quick visit to the doctor and instructions to take it easy. Those are tough words to hear when you're surrounded by mountains of boxes. The pug's are loving it though. And I promise to catch up more on the house and share baby boy's name once we get reunited with the whole internet business.
Until then I'm stealing internet from my parents while we get ready to cheer on the Jayhawks this afternoon. Rock Chalk and have a great weekend!!

it's a...
We are so excited! We found out yesterday and honestly the night before you would have thought I was a six year old waiting for Santa to come on Christmas morning. I think I got 3 hours of sleep total.
Originally, I wanted to just have our doctor write it down and then take it to a bakery and then we could cut into the cake with family around to find out all together. But then boy and I realized there was no way we could not find out immediately, so we decided we'd find out and then do a family gathering later in the week with a fun reveal. But the grandma's would have none of that and protested a week of waiting. So we had everyone meet up at Jason's Deli after our appointment and I had done up 2 batches of pink and blue cupcakes and we surprised everyone that way. It was priceless. It was so much fun and I'm relieved I don't have to go a whole week bursting at the seams to tell them, also I need them to help us move this weekend too!

These ice crystals are known as ' hoar frost ' and sometimes might be so thick that it looks like snow.
Just before New Year Milo and I took a quick walk around the fishing lake to feed the ducks with some stale bread . Yes it was cold , very very cold but it was oh so pretty and so peaceful .
We haven't had any snow this Christmas and I think I remember that we didn't have any at all last year either . If we can't have snow then this hoar frost will most definitely do.

In my own country I am in a far-off land
I am strong but have no force or power
I win all yet remain a loser
At break of day I say goodnight
When I lie down I have a great fear
Of Falling
– Francois Villon
Ten years? Has it been that long? I have been thinking about what to write here all week long and even as I sit typing this I am still not exactly sure as to what I want to say or where to even begin for that matter.
Those of you who are long time readers will no doubt have noticed that I haven't posted here consistently for a long time and for that I do apologise. This site means a lot to me and I have spent a considerable amount of time, effort and a bit of money in keeping it going over the years. Despite the radio silence over the past two years I have no intention of letting this site fall by the wayside. It is here to stay and I do have plans to crank it back into high gear.
I originally set up this site back in 2008, shortly after I began my doctorate on Hunter S. Thompson. I should acknowledge that in the very early days this was a joint venture with my good man Marty Flynn of HSTbooks. Over the years we have both covered all things Gonzo and I'd like to thank Marty for his friendship and all the help he has given me over the years in finding obscure Thompson references, not to mention helping me gather quite a collection of rare Gonzo books and articles.
The past few years working on my doctorate and this site have been a real pleasure and I'd like to thank all of YOU for sticking with me along the way. The feedback I have received from all over the world has been incredible and I am very thankful for all the great people I have gotten to know through this site. I never expected it and it has been humbling to say the least. I'll blame Hunter for that, he was always good at making worthwhile connections.
Outside of this site and my work unfortunately life has not been quite so smooth. In the second year of my doctoral studies I managed to tear the cornea in my right eye. I had to see a whole bunch of specialists and quacks of every description you can imagine as they tried to figure whether to operate or not. I ended up travelling to London to see more doctors and the whole thing was utterly exhausting. In the end, after a year or so my eye miraculously healed and believe it or not my vision actually improved. My work however had taken a severe setback.
Then the Irish economy crashed. You may or may not be familiar with what happened here but needless to say it was pretty horrific. The past few years have been extremely tough, not just for me but for everyone in Ireland (except the usual suspects) I'm not going to go into it here, it is neither the time nor the place and I'm not even sure I can find the right words to do it justice. Not yet anyway. It is the reason however as to why I have only checked in here sporadically and as to why I am only finishing up my doctorate this year. You could say that life got in the way.
So what has this all got to do with Hunter I hear you ask? Well, I didn't feel like just posting some tribute and leaving it at that with no explanation as to where the hell I've been. I felt I owned you all an explanation and I know there have been many unanswered emails and messages on social media. I hope this goes some way as to explaining why I haven't replied to you all.
As for Hunter, I guess I wanted to write something a bit more personal than trying to comment on his legacy etc. I'll leave that to others this time. However I do want to talk about how Hunter's books and words have kept me sane through this seemingly endless shitstorm. I really mean that. Writing about Hunter, when I was able to get the opportunity, was an immense source of comfort amid all the madness going on around me. Writing about his struggle to make it as a writer, dealing with poverty and unemployment and the constant feeling that the deck was stacked against him – yeah that certainly connected. Hunter never gave up though, no matter how disillusioned he felt with his homeland and the way politicians and other people abused their power – he always felt it was a worthwhile fight to stand up to these whores and not let them get away with it.
Which brings me to the quote at the top of this post. You'll probably recognise it as the preface to Hell's Angels. Hunter later revealed why he chose that particular verse in Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail '72 – ''At the time it seemed like a very apt little stroke – reaching back into time and French poetry for a reminder that a sense of doomed alienation on your own turf is nothing new.' Which kind of bring me to a comment on his legacy, the very thing I said I wouldn't do at the start of this post. (I told you this wasn't planned out!)
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Hunter was keenly aware of this and many other choice morsels of Wisdom. His work is peppered with it. I've often wondered what Hunter would have thought of the past decade and where we find ourselves in this foul year of Our Lord, 2015. Horrified is the conclusion I come to every time. You only have to read Kingdom of Fear and Hey Rube to see his very warnings about the road We have been dragged down in the past ten years by the stupid, vicious, corrupt thieves and warmongers in power around the world.
This has happened on our watch however. We elected those people. I better bite my tongue here or this will veer off into a rant like no other. So I only have to say this – read Hunter's work. He showed what people who Know the Past can do when they decide they have had enough of these swine and actually Do Something About It. As he was so fond of saying – 'Politics is the art of controlling your environment.' He also had another eloquent one – 'There Is Some Shit People Won't Eat.'
Have you had your fill?

Spring is officially here – warmer weather, longer days and plenty of great games to enjoy with friends and family. Since the outdoors are more welcoming than they have been in the previous months, it's time to get out and feel the sun on your face. So what's an Atlanta sports fan to do? How can you catch every second of March Madness or the opening of baseball season while still living it up in the great outdoors? Lucky for you, we've got some great home entertainment system solutions for your backyard.

The Latest From Sunbrite
There are two major problems with moving your TV outside: the first is that it's not weather proof, the second is that it's not bright enough. Thankfully, the TV experts at Sunbrite have solved this problem – and they now offer 4K UHD resolution.
Sunbrite has long been a leader in outdoor televisions, offering water tight video display solutions perfect for your backyard. The ultra-bright image combat's glare from the sun while the incredibly durable casing is designed to withstand the elements. The company is even rumored to test durability with measures as extreme as firing guns at it. We don't know if that's true, but we certainly get the point.
Their latest model, the 84" Pro Series 4k Ultra HD Outdoor TV is sure to turn the deck or yard into your favorite media room. Sure, it won't be available for your home viewing pleasure until sometime in June, but nevertheless it's a fascinating piece of hardware. Tempered glass keeps the LED display safe, and EST tech prevents isotropic blackout – meaning you'll be able to enjoy true Ultra HD picture for hours, even in the brightest sunlight.
Drop the Bass on Your Outdoor Audio
You may be ready to install a pristine 4k UHD TV in your outdoor entertainment center, but you'll also need a sound system to give it a real kick. We've already told you about outdoor speakers by Sonance, but you haven't heard anything until you've heard their underground subwoofer.
One frequent problem with outdoor audio is that it has nothing to resonate against. Sonance has solved this issue with speakers that can be expertly placed to mimic the sounds of a traditional surround sound system. But because woofers are not generally constructed in the same forward-facing manner as your other speakers, installing one outdoors proves a challenge.
That's why they've perfected the underground woofer, which is exactly what it sounds like. The woofer is placed underneath your deck or seating area, allowing it to create a full, robust and resonant experience. Plus, its placement means that you won't be able to see it, so it can't disrupt the look of your beautifully landscaped spaces.
Are you ready to experience the sights and sounds of springtime with awesome AV? Contact us today to upgrade your outdoor home entertainment system.

By Friday, I need extra shots in my coffee, just to get jump started in the morning.
I tried out a new fitness place near me, and was hooked. It's called 9Round, and the basic premise is nine stations of three minutes of kickboxing work with a 30 second cardio burst in between. One round was front kicks. One round was jab cross. One round was jump rope, and one station was speed bag. We also did some ab work in there. He did one station of pad work with me, which I have really missed.
I will be doing this at least three times a week from here on in. LOVE.
My son started with the golf team again this year, and today was the first meet. The field was a spongey mess, but he did well.
And I made drunken raisin walnut cookies - soak the raisins in rum, heat it in the microwave and then allow to cool. Mix into the batter with walnuts.
(I also worked, did kid pick up, did laundry and took my daughter to rehearsal for Cosi Fan Tutte - of these things, I do not have photographic evidence. :)

Marines from 3d Battalion, 3d Marines complete the final user evaluation for the tropical uniform in Kahuku's Training Area Oct. 3-5, 2017. Durability, fit and function were tested in order to compile the final report for the Commandant of the Marine Corps to make a decision on the future of the uniform in 2018. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Molly Hampton)
The Marine Corps Uniforms (MCU) portfolio provides products and services required to develop, evaluate, field, and sustain clothing and textiles utilized by all Marines. MCU funding supports development, test, procurement, and initial sustainment of USMC clothing programs and enhancements. The MCU portfolio also includes Marine Corps Uniform Board requirements for uniform modifications, uniform shade evaluations, and certification and quality inspections of uniform articles as required by MCO P10120.28G Individual Clothing Regulations.
Operational Impact
Uniform development will improve comfort and weight to enhance the performance for Marines who primarily conduct dismounted operations. Improving the spectral performance of camouflage will make Marines less visible at night which reduces their vulnerability. Other enhancements allow Marines are able to operate with Flame Resistant (FR) protection in the utility uniform.
Program Status
MCU is a level of effort that seeks to exploit the development of advanced technologies in textiles that will lead to increased durability, breathability, flash fire protection and emerging camouflage patterns of uniform construction. MCU is also used to develop, evaluate, field and sustain Marine Corps Dress Uniform items. Ongoing CMC-directed initiatives for uniforms include tropical combat uniforms, tropical combat boots and improvements of the Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) as well as procurement of redesigned female dress blue coat.
Procurement Profile: N/A
Developer/Manufacturer: Ordered through Defense Logistics Agency; Multiple Vendors in Numerous States

Amalasuntha was Queen of Spain from 1109 - 1126, the first queen regnant in Spanish history. She succeeded her elder brother, Alfonso V, and was in turn succeeded by her son Alfonso VI after her death in 1126 from the plague. Unusually for a medieval queen, she was a strong ruler in her own right throughout her reign, never allowing herself to be dominated by either of her husbands despite the wishes of the overwhelmingly male nobility.
She is notable for officially converting the Church of Spain to Islam, completing a slow process that was begun two hundred years earlier by King Athafuns II. Catholic Christianity had lost all its credibility after the conquest of the Papal Kingdom and the exile of the Pope to Germany, and the 1115 decree rejecting Catholic doctrine met with surprisingly little resistance from the Christian north of the realm. Unlike Athafuns, Amalasuntha's reforms lasted long after her death and Spain still has a large Muslim majority to this day.

Travel chaos at Gatwick Airport - know your rights
The Consumer Council offers advice to passengers affected by the disruption
The Consumer Council is encouraging passengers who have been affected by the disruption at Gatwick Airport to know their passenger rights.
The shutdown started on Wednesday night when two drones were spotted flying over the Gatwick Airport airfield. The incident has caused disruption for passengers flying in and out of the airport.
Jenny Redman, Senior Policy Officer at The Consumer Council, said "If your flight is delayed or cancelled you may be entitled to assistance such as meals, refreshments, telephone calls, emails or overnight accommodation while you wait. If your flight has been cancelled, the airline must offer you a choice between a refund or an alternative flight. As the disruption at Gatwick Airport is outside of an airline's control, passengers will not be entitled to compensation.
Jenny added, "The Consumer Council encourages passengers to check with their airline for regular updates and to know your rights when flights are delayed or cancelled.
"For passengers travelling to or from Northern Ireland who have been affected by the disruption and want to know more about their passenger rights, contact The Consumer Council on 0800 121 6022 or download our Plane Facts guide available at www.consumercouncil.org.uk".

Marching Orders for 2010
Happy New Year! Happy New Decade!
What are your plans? Are they God's plans, or are they your plans?
Look at Joshua's situation. The mantle was passed to him upon Moses' death. Joshua was given "marching orders" to move to the next level of his and the Israelites' natural and spiritual lives. Perhaps you don't have a mantle passed to you (or maybe you do!!). However, take it upon yourself - prayerfully - to march forward this year in VICTORY!
Three points to ponder:
- Don't dwell on the past
- Face your giants; be strong and encouraged
- Miracles follow when you follow His marching orders!
Amen? AMEN!

Jewish voters in Miami, Florida today confronted Barack Obama on his very close friendship with Rashid Khalidi, a former PLO operative and professor at Colombia University.
Barack Obama played down his close friendship with the former PLO operative:
The Jewish voters were again doing the work of the media who refuse to ask Barack Obama about his many close associations with Jew-haters.
Advertisement - story continues below
This is what Obama told the Jewish voters about his association with Khalidi:
"Let me respond to the question. My… uh, uh, uh, The assumption- I think the general question was that the, uh… Are there past associations of mine that would be troublesome to the Jewish community… Well, you mentioned Rashid Khalidi who's a professor at Colombia. I do know him because he taught at the University of Chicago and he is Palestinian. And, I do know him and I have had conversations. He is not one of my advisors. He is not one of my foreign policy people."
Obama did not mention that the Obama family and the Khalidi family shared many dinners together.
TRENDING: BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: As Soon As Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos Testified that Joseph Mifsud Worked For the Clinton Foundation, She Was Brutally Targeted and Harassed By the Left
Obama did not mention the many talks he shared with Khalidi.
Nor, did Obama tell the Jewish voters that he gave a toast at a going away party to Rashid Khalidi when he moved from Chicago to New York to take the job at Colombia University:
Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases… It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation — a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."
Advertisement - story continues below
By the way, The Los Angeles Times has video of this dinner and has not released the tape.
Obama also did not mention the other anti-Semites at that dinner:
At Khalidi's 2003 farewell party, for example, a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, "then you will never see a day of peace."
One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."
Obama also did not mention that the Khalidi's held a fundraiser for Obama's unsuccessful congressional bid in 2000.
Obama also did not mention that he helped funnel tens of thousands of dollars to Khalidi's anti-Israel Arab American Action Network.
These are a few of the things Obama forgot to mention to his Jewish audience today.

If you read part 1 of this, at this time nascent, NFL project, you read how I worked to find the specific data from one NFL game to isolate the boxscore information. Continuing the delving into the hashes, I was able to dive deep enough into the parent information to find the individual player information needed to re-create a box score and perhaps do a bit more analysis from a basic point of view, and while that is a great first step, that's just one game. One game that I found manually. To do any sort of analysis you need a lot of games, and to save time and aggravation, you need to able to get those games more easily then hunting down the unique id of every game of every season.
Fortunately, since there are patterns and consistency within how the NFL presents its game results, and there are existing tools to take advantage of that, the problem of finding a lot of games and getting them automatically is not all that impossible, though again time consuming.
So let's get started
Step 1 - Finding the information you need
This link is the page on the NFL website that lists the final score for all 16 games played in week one of the 2016 regular season. If you peruse this page just a bit you'll see that each individual game has a button that says Game Center. This button will take you to the place where you can find all the information specific to that game. And like in part 1, we learned that each game has a unique identifier that can be used to access the information in other ways. So, this page does have the information I need to get the unique identifiers for every game played that week. Additionally, if you look at the link itself, you can see a pattern that would allow you to easily determine the right page for, say, week 4 of the 2015 season if you decided you would want to download that data, however, that's for later, and pretty simple.
While all the information is available on the page when you look at it, it's not as simple to access it. This page is the source code of the pretty page you were looking at. In short, source doe is the programming as it were that tells your browser what to display and how to format it. It's kind of messy and full of extraneous information, but this is where the information that I need is, and I needed to figure out how to extract it, and as usual Ruby has a nice little freely available tool to do this, and so I had to learn a bit about Nokogiri
Step 2 - Extracting the links I need with Nokogiri
Nokogiri is a very popular (it has 4,103 stars and 567 forks at the time I'm writing this, which for those of you who aren't github users, is a sign of popularity) gem for Ruby for parsing raw HTML (and XML) data. This data is different than the JSON data that I was parsing in a previous article, but this information isn't as readily available in JSON format because it's pretty static information and easier to present. In searching, I saw no JSON option for obtaining the unique identifiers. Though, truthfully, as a learning tool, using Nokogiri instead of JSON allows me to work on some new skills.
Nokogiri does a lot of marvelous wonderful things, but what I'm focusing on at this point is the ability to scan through HTML (us developers sometimes call it scraping) and find specific information. When you write HTML you often will apply special formatting to similar content so that it all looks the same and presents a pleasing appearance to the user. This is done through Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and the application of specific classes that are blocks of CSS code that allow you to easily apply identical styling to various parts of a page with a simple statement of
class="css-class-name". Nokogiri has the built in ability to find not only specific elements (links, rows, buttons, etc…) but also classes that can be applied throughout that source code you were looking for. With that piece of information, I just needed a way to find any kind of class information that was applied to those Game Center buttons that wasn't applied anywhere else in the page. (I mean, I could deal with other content, but if there is something specific only to the Game Center button, it does save time).
Looking through this introduction to Nokogiri gave me enough ammunition to:
- Get the raw HTML of the weekly results page linked above
- Use Nokogiri to find a way to isolate the links that had the information I needed.
If you took the time to scroll through that link to the source page data, you would have seen a lot of information crammed together. When you use Nokogiri to process it, it becomes even more crowded (though easier to work with) so the first step was to work through was finding the identifier that would give me only the links I wanted.
Reading through the linked primer of Nokogiri, I was able to find all link elements on the page (there are a lot of them) and a quick scan through them found that all the links to the Game Center for a specific game had a specific class assigned to them. (This is unsurprising since they have formatting not seen anywhere else on the page). Thus, I could isolate the link to each Game Center by using Nokogiri and knowing that specific class.
RawData.css('a.gc-btn')["href"] would isolate the web address of every Game Center in a given week, and this is great information to have, but I still need to do a little more work to drill down because there is only one piece of information I need to extract from that entire web address that looks like, and that means working with my nemesis, regular expressions.
Step 3 - Extracting the Game Identifier from the links using regular expression.
The link to the Game Center looks like this:
http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2016090800/2016/REG1/panthers@broncos?icampaign=GC_schedule_rr. I only need that long string of numbers in the middle: 2016090800. As stated in part 1, this is the unique identifier for the game that would allow me access to the box score, and as stated earlier in this article, having to manually extract it for up to 16 games every week is a time consuming and numbing process that could cause a project to be less interesting. Not to mention that if I want any historical data, it would take a very long time to manually search through all the pages to get the information, and that just isn't going to be productive. So, even though I've isolated all the links, what I really want is that very specific number, and that's where regular expressions come in.
If you don't know what regular expressions are, consider yourself lucky that you've never had to learn about them, but I will give a brief explanation. Basically, regular expressions are a way to find patterns within text. If you wish to know more, wikipedia always has more. I have a long history with regular expressions, most of it frustrating, but I have over time become at least comfortable enough with them that I can use them when I need to. There is a great website called rubular where you can put in a test string (like the link I above from which I need the unique id) and then construct the regular expression to match the pattern I need. After a little experimenting, I came up with this regular expression:
/\/\d+\//, which successfully isolates
/2016090800/ from the entire link. Now, this is almost exactly what I need but those pesky forward slashes (and they are forward slashes, \, that, is a back slash) are in the way. Fortunately for me, ruby has a nice built-in method that allows me to easily deal with this issue.
Gsub is a method built-in to Ruby that will search for patterns in a supplied string (like regular expressions) but allow you to also manipulate the found patterns if you want to. There are lots of options as you'll see if you click the link to the guide, but the one I'm dealing with is the replacement. Using gsub, you can replace something that exists with nothing using "" as the replacement. Hence
.gsub("/","") will replace every instance of the forward slash with what's between the two quotation marks, i.e. nothing. So if I apply that gsub statement to my regular expression search I will successfully isolate 2016090800 as a string, which is more than enough to then plug it into another method that I build on my own to download the box score information for that game.
Of course, this is still just a small step in the development of the project, but a vital one that will allow later more complex programming to be done.
Hopefully, I'll get there soon and you'll read about it.

Over the summer, many Penn History Majors explored their historical curiosities outside the classroom. We asked some of our current undergraduates to share their experiences.
Maggie Rymsza (C '19)
Maggie is a a Junior studying American History, concentrating on colonial America. She assists with the rare books and manuscripts at the Kislak Center of Van Pelt Library. Currently, she is working on a book with the Arcadia Publishing series Images of America about her hometown of Muncy, Pennsylvania.
Maggie on her summer experience:
"This summer I was fortunate to have been given the opportunity to work at the American Philosophical Society as the Curatorial Intern for the upcoming Spring 2018 Exhibit, celebrating the 275th Anniversary of APS. Beginning with the founding of APS in 1743, the exhibit will highlight the achievements of its members from its inception to the present. My time at APS was spent working with the Museum fellows, conducting archival research within the organization's extensive collections and identifying possible objects, books, and manuscipts for the new exhibit.
My research at the library led me to view incredible documents, such as the letters of Ben Franklin, the notes of Alexander von Humboldt and the fragile second draft of the Decleration of Independence. Along with this research, I visited the Chemical Hertiage Foundation and the new American Revolution Museum to analyze museum structures in order to improve upon the structure of our own exhibit. Most importantly, my internship encouraged a connection the organization itself, as archival research was coupled with active participation in APS through events, outreach programs and collaborations within other departments, such as Conservation and Museum Education."
"The image above shows the preliminary stages of our exhibit; APS uses the wall of their conference room to attach images of possible objects to display. The objects are then grouped of the different sections, or nodes, of the exhibit."
Justin Estreicher (C'19)
Justin Estreicher is a member of the Class of 2019 majoring in American history and minoring in anthropology. A native of Long Island, he grew up with a love of history encouraged by exposure to museums in his local community and in nearby New York City. Though his current research interests relate mostly to early American history, he indulges his fascination with the deeper and more global past as well through his activities as a board member of the Clio Society, the Penn Museum's student outreach group. On campus, he also works as a tutor at the Marks Family Writing Center and has contributed writing to such publications as 34th Street, Stamped, and Stylus.
Justin on his summer experience:
"This past summer, while also putting my knowledge of history and other subjects to use as a tutor working for a service and with private clients at the middle- and high-school levels, Igained valuable experience in closely studying historical documents as an archival intern at the Vanderbilt Museum on Long Island. I worked on a project cataloguing William K. Vanderbilt II's vast collection of books, mainly from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, housed on the shelves of the Eagle's Nest household library.
My tasks involved documenting both the physical description/condition of the books and the most interesting content of their pages. In the process, I studied works of particular relevance to my research interests, such as Catlin's North American Indians, and came across such fascinating finds as handwritten inscriptions by Jules Verne, Joseph Conrad, and Mr. Vanderbilt himself. My work resulted in detailed contributions to the museum's permanent records, providing valuable resources for future research and conservation efforts."
Matthew Palcynzski (C'18)
Matthew Palczynski is a senior, graduating in December, who is majoring in History with a World concentration. He is currently involved with four research projects exploring the following topics: family graveyards in Dover, New Hampshire; slave graveyards in Lunenburg County, Virginia; the legacy of slavery in Penn's founding history; and the travels of B.V. Ephraim, an 18th-century Prussian-Jewish spy. Back home in New Hampshire, he has two dogs (Ginger and Pepper) and two cats (Comet and Clara), all of whom he misses dearly.
Matthew on his summer experience:
"This summer, I worked on two projects for which I had received funding. The first project, funded by the Penn Museum, seeks to survey the old family graveyards of Dover, New Hampshire, a city which has been continually occupied since 1623. There are records of approximately fifty such graveyards, and maps from the Dover Library archives that suggest there may be several more. However, the problem is that a lot has since the last such survey—Dover is a rapidly growing city and at least three graveyards, and hundreds of bodies and stones, seem to have been lost. I endeavor to find those and to map them in addition to those still preserved.
The second project, funded by the History Department, seeks to study the slave graveyards of Lunenburg County, Virginia. Lunenburg County, a thinly populated area about eighty miles outside of Richmond, once hosted one of the highest percentages of slaves to whites in Virginia. The County also has some 300 pages of published records regarding family burial grounds, with some persons buried before the Civil War, and others who served in the Confederate Army. My hypothesis is that if families had a family cemetery on their property, with burials prior to the Civil War, there might also be a slave cemetery on the property. This will take a great deal more work to uncover than the week I spent at the State Library of Virginia in Richmond but, with some luck, and the leads that I have, I should have a good start."

Potatoes - Bacterial Wilt
Note Number: AG0314
Published: June 1995
Updated: April 2011
Bacterial wilt is one of the most destructive diseases of the potato, which has a very wide host range. On potato, the disease is also known as brown rot, southern wilt, sore eye or jammy eye.
Bacterial wilt of potato is generally favoured by temperatures between 25°C and 37°C. It usually does not cause problems in areas where mean soil temperature is below 15°C.
Under conditions of optimum temperature, infection is favoured by wetness of soil. However, once infection has occurred, severity of symptoms is increased with hot and dry conditions, which facilitate wilting.
Bacterial wilt is a serious problem in many developing countries in the tropical and sub-tropical zones of the world. It is usually found between the latitudes 45°N and 45°S. It has been recorded in all Australian states except Tasmania.
Economic importance
Bacterial wilt is responsible for causing considerable losses to the potato industry where the disease exists.
In the south east of Victoria, it has caused considerable losses in the past to the potatoes planted mainly in the swampy areas. However, the threat of the disease is potentially significant to the seed potato industry. Some importing states and countries regard bacterial wilt in the same light as black wart, ring rot, and potato cyst nematode (PCN) and ban imports from areas known to be infected.
The disease can cause total loss of a crop and prevent the use of land for potato production for several years.
Causal organism
Bacterial wilt is caused by a soil-borne bacterium named Ralstonia solanacearum (earlier known as Pseudomonas solanacearum). Based on the type of host plants it attacks it is divided into three races, and based on its biochemical properties it is divided into four biovars. The most widespread strain in Australia is race 3/biovar ll. This strain is known to occur in New South Wales, Queensland and it primarily attacks potato. Two other strains, which attack other hosts besides potato, are confined to the Northern Territory and Queensland.
Host range
Bacterial wilt attacks more than 200 species. These include economically important hosts such as tobacco, potato, tomato, eggplant, pepper, banana, peanut and beans. Thorn apple and nightshade are two common weed hosts that are attacked by the disease.
Typical symptoms are wilting, yellowing and some stunting of the plants, which finally die right back. Wilting is first seen as a drooping of the tip of some of the lower leaves similar to that caused by a temporary shortage of water. At first only one branch in a hill may show wilting. Affected leaves later become permanently wilted and roll upwards and inwards from the margins. The wilting then extends to leaves further up the stem and is followed by a yellowing of the leaves. This yellowing, wilting and in-rolling of the leaves makes diseased plants very obvious, especially when surrounded by healthy plants. The leaves finally turn brown and fall off, beginning at the base of the stem and continuing upwards.
Symptoms in the tuber are very specific: brownish-grey areas are seen on the outside, especially near the point of attachment of the stolon. Cut tubers may show pockets of white to brown pus or browning of the vascular tissue which, if left standing, may exude dirty white globules of bacteria. As the disease progresses bubbly globules of bacteria may exude through the eyes; soil will often adhere to the exuded bacteria, hence the name 'sore eyes' or 'jammy eyes'.
Disease cycle
Potato wilt bacterium is a soil-borne organism primarily inhabiting the roots. It enters the root system at points of injury caused by farm implements, nematodes and by other means. It is spread by irrigation water, flood waters and contaminated soil.
The wilt bacterium is able to survive for periods up to 2-3 years in bare fallow soils, and for longer periods in soils cropped to non-solanaceous crops.
Infected seed is an important method of dissemination, both locally and over considerable distances. It is not the heavily infected tuber that is the problem since these generally rot away, only maintaining contamination of the land in which they were grown. However, slightly infected tubers, which show no visible symptoms, pose a serious threat of spreading the disease to new areas. Self-sown potatoes are extremely difficult to eradicate and, if a paddock is infected, the disease may remain in it for five or six years after the initial outbreak.
Bacteria can also be spread to clean tubers from an infected seed-cutter. There is also a real danger of infection if secondhand bags are used or if half tonne bins have held infected potatoes. Growers should be aware of these risks and take precautionary measures.
Disease Management
Bacterial wilt is difficult to control (or eradicate) because of the soil-borne nature of its causal organism. Therefore, following options should be considered in managing the disease.
Minimising the occurrence
- Adopt rotations with pastures, cereals and non-solanaceous crops for periods exceeding five years.
- Use of certified seed from reliable sources. Exclusion of the disease may be exercised by quarantine or other legislative measures. For example, Tasmania, which so far has not recorded bacterial wilt, is very careful to import only healthy seed. New Zealand and South Africa ban the importation of seed from areas known to have the disease. Other measures of control include:
- Planting in areas where bacterial wilt has not occurred previously.
- Control self-sown potatoes.
- Control weed hosts such as nightshade, thorn apple, Narrawa burr around dames, along channels and in the paddocks after cropping potatoes.
- Avoid deep ploughing – the organisms survive in the deep, cool layers of soil.
- Irrigation water should never be allowed to run freely over or below the soil surface. It should never be allowed to return to the dam or stream from which it is pumped, nor to any other irrigation source.
- Regular crop inspection for disease symptoms and remove and destroy diseased plants, tubers and immediate neighbours.
- Use stock to clean up chats, discarded tubers and crop debris, but do not allow the stock back onto clean paddocks.
- Do not return potato waste, e.g. oversized, misshapen and diseased tubers to paddocks.
Minimising the spread
- Machinery taken onto a diseased paddock should be left on the paddock while it is being worked.
- Machinery removed from the paddock should then be washed clean with a disinfectant solution in a dedicated area for equipment wash down.
- Use high-pressure wash to clean machinery, sheds etc to remove soil adhering to any surfaces.
- Clothing and boots of people working in the paddock should be exchanged for clean items when leaving the paddock, or else boots should be washed in a suitable disinfectant.
- After harvest, all diseased and discarded tubers should be collected and buried at least one metre underground.
- On no account should any of the produce from a diseased crop be kept as seed.
- Load and unload vehicles only in designated areas with sealed or hard ground or bare paddocks away from potato paddocks.
- Choose transport roots that minimise travel through potato paddocks and regions.
- If second-hand bags or half tonne bins have been used to hold potatoes, these should be thoroughly washed and disinfected before being used again. Bags should be disinfected or discarded.
- Ask visitors, contractors and workers to wear overalls, gumboots and overshoes on the property.

From the moment we have our 'history hero' badge pinned to us by socialist vegetarian Beryl and meet weapons expert Bob it's obvious that this walking tour is not your average stroll in the park. Our eccentric guides, Barb, Benjamin, Beryl, Bevan and Bob, played by local Big Fork theatre performers Taylor Edwards, Jim Reynolds, Rosa Sottile, Cameron Watson and Chris Martin, keep us amused with a mixture of fantastical stories as the group traipses after them through the streets of West End. We are regaled with tales of the ghosts from the 1920s, the mystery of the vanishing yiros from the Greek club, Beryl's ode to the public pool and the conspiracy of the sky needle. Audience involvement is central to the action and we find ourselves munching falafels, asking questions of ghosts and singing to ward off any encroaching hipsters.
The tour skirts the topic of the controversial West End property development that is being rushed along despite the ardent protests of local residents and recent protest marches. Outside the building site we are attacked by one of the actors posing as a dreaded property developer. She underhandedly tries to sell us an apartment off the plan as we are rushed down an alley to escape. Further on however the dangers are not over as we are again attacked by a hipster wanting funding for his app. The actors are laughable in their scarily accurate portrayal of modern stereotypes. The tour concludes with a moment of silence for West End and a mini street party, party popper included. All in all it was a ridiculously fun time. My advice – buy the ticket and take the ride, just watch out for those smashed avocado eating hipsters.

Teaching English abroad in Taiwan 2015
Teaching English abroad in Taiwan is an interesting experience available to English speakers with a degree. There are different views on teaching English in Taiwan both from locals and from foreigners. I taught English in Taiwan for 4 months at a cram school and currently teach adults a couple times a month. Recently an American friend in Taiwan asked me these set of questions so I thought I would put together a Teaching English in Taiwan resource for 2015. I don't claim to know everything, but I thought I would share as much as I know. When I was doing my research to be an English teacher I was already in Taiwan and had to go through the Formusa forums or some good, but outdated blog posts. As a digital nomad trying to get your business off the ground teaching English can provide another stable revenue steam. Its time to share what I know based on my experience to help you out.
How much can you earn?
The standard hourly rate is 580nt (obo$18.23 US). You will also get taxed on this amount. With a monthly part-time 20 hour contract I think I was earning around 39,000nt per month. Don't quote me on that, but that is the general ball park range. If you teach outside a private school and you have more experience you could earn from 600-800nt hour.
Do you get paid for holidays or typhoon days?
Typhoon days you ask? Yes, I experienced one typhoon day in Taiwan, and it happens from time to time. Basically you get to spend the day at home, but you don't get paid for it. Other holidays in Taiwan or vacation you take you don't get paid for either. I know this sucks as you may in the country you live in. I did in Vancouver.
What other benefits can you expect?
If it is a larger school you can expect a health card, an ARC (resident visa to work and live), and if you're lucky you may get access to a non-interest loan of up to 30,000nt. If you are working less than 20 hours it is likely you will not get any benefits. The health card is actually quite useful as it gives you access to good quality healthcare. For example a teeth cleaning will normally cost 1000-1300nt, but with the NHA card you can expect to pay 200nt.
How many hours will yo get?
For a part-time contract I believe I was getting 20 hours per week at the cram school. You can expect to be asked to sub (fill-in ) for other English teachers, which will bump up your hours.
What qualifications and requirements do you need?
For a cram school they require the original copy of your degree. The scanned copy will not do. I actually had to ship my degree from Canada to Taiwan. For more specific requirements please refer to the HESS site. You will need to hold a passport from one of these English speaking countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, The United Kingdom and The United States.
How and how often will you get paid?
Normally your monthly salary will be paid out the following month. The interesting thing is you will get an envelope with a slip and a big wad of cash on payday. This may seem strange for Westerners used to electronic automatic direct deposit. It is a bit of an inconvenience as you might need to make a special trip to get your pay. If you have a class that day you don't, but you'll have the responsibility of looking after your entire months day until your shift is over. As teachers didn't get any secure locker or area I ended up stuffing this wad of cash in my jean pocket. Mentally you may feel rich on pay day, but be spend carefully otherwise you may be eating 5nt dumplings and 7-11 take out until the next payday.
How does the teaching thing work?
In a nutshell if you are new to the country the larger schools will arrange for you to stay at a hotel during the first week. You'll get orientation, culture training, as well as training for about a month at the headquarters. Next, you will be assigned to a branch office where you will teach. You can request where you will teach, but are not guaranteed to teach at this location. Once at the branch you may observe an existing teacher before beginning your first class. You will get a schedule with your classes on a slip of paper. Usually in each class you will have a Chinese teacher whose job is to assist you. In my experience the Chinese teachers will likely have more experience than you and have sharper grammar than you so don't be surprised if they interrupt you or report your mistakes to your manager. For each class you will teach you will receive a set of books. These books will contain the lesson plans and curriculum that you will be teaching. You will be responsible for marking homework. Do not be surprised if the Chinese teacher audits your homework grading. In some classes the Chinese teacher will teach the same set of students on alternate days so you will need to get the graded homework back to them before their class. If you fail to do so you will quickly get on their bad side as I experienced. To get back on their good side you may need to earn your guanxi back by treating them to a Starbucks drink.
How much time will I need to spend outside of the classroom?
You will be responsible for grading homework and all tests. You're also going to need to be well prepared for your lessons. Teaching is like a performance. Once you begin class you're performance begins until the break. For lower level classes this is not too difficult and may average 15-40 minutes for lesson planning and grading. Of course this varies with the number of students. For higher-level classes the grammar and grading gets more difficult. The amount of time can go up from 40-80 minutes. As you get more familiar with the material and get into a flow these times may drop. I used to take a notebook and scribble notes, which made lesson planning really slow. I tried typing out the notes, but I found it hard to get access to a computer at my branch. The most effective tip that my manager gave me was to just use post-it notes and just stick them on the books. This way you didn't need to keep flipping back between your books and your notes.
How many students per class and how old are they?
Depending on the class you may get lucky and have 5 students, but sometimes you can get larger classes with up to 20 students. Generally the students I taught ranged from 5 – 15. If you get the kindergarten classes they are couple years younger.
What are the hours?
Classes are generally in the evenings between 5-9pm Mon – Fridays. Each class is 2 hours in length. You get a 10-minute break between each class, which is just enough time to relocate and setup for the next class. There are also classes on Saturday mornings. I taught on Friday nights until 9pm and had an 8:30am Saturday class. I never got used to it.
I've never taught before?
It is okay they will provide all the training. In my experience the training was not enough. Most of what I learned was just to start teaching and make plenty of mistakes and ask questions.
What are some of the schools to teach at?
There are a ton of schools to teach at. The largest schools to teach at are: Hess, Kojen, Reach to Teach, and Happy Mariam
Where can you find English teaching jobs?
Facebook groups: Need a Sub Teacher or Want to Sub Teacher in Taiwan?
What is a cram school?
A cram school is additional schooling for Taiwanese children after their regular school.
What is it like to teach children?
It depends on your class. To be honest I think they can be a handful if you don't know how to manage them. The younger ones have a lot of energy and at times I felt like I was baby-sitting. It's important to learn some classroom management techniques otherwise you'll spend more time managing them than actually teaching. Some techniques involve offering rewards for good behavior. It works. On the positive side it does feel good to share the language with students, I just feel that the system you are required to follow is too rigid.
What is the experience like?
For Taiwan teaching English is considered to be a decent paying job. I think your English teaching experience will be shaped by the school you teach at, the location it is, your colleagues, and the students. Teaching English was an option that I needed at the time and I was grateful for that. Doing this job also helped me to discover the teacher in me, which led to me teaching courses through the Internet. I also built up even more comfort teaching and performing in front of people, which is a transferable skill. I had some fun making some friends from my training class and going for drinks with the other English teachers. However for me it wasn't sustainable. The hours I had to work essentially replaced my social life. Most of the events I wanted to go were when I was teaching. Most of all being a digital nomad I wanted the freedom to do what I loved. If you are just starting your life in Taiwan teaching English can be a good way to ease yourself into the country. They educate you on culture shock; you'll probably make fast friends with the other English-speaking teachers, and the pay is decent enough to live off of.
If you have taught English in Taiwan have you had a difference experience?
If you enjoyed this article I am currently working on an e-book on my Taiwan working holiday experience sharing my stories, tips, and adventures. Be sure to share your email for updates on the books release date.

Part of my new series of images for licensing on Arcangel-Images - use this code: SYST-0229
When I created the book cover for Elemental Rising, I bought a simple papier-mâché mask, which I wanted (and did) to include in the final image. However, I also wanted to create an image with just the mask. This is the image I made with it. :-) There is something about masks... something magical and a little scary and something a little sad. It always makes me think of Carnival in Venice but also of the Phantom of the Opera.
Created with my own photographs in Photoshop, no stock used.

Finally I get to show you what I have done for this month's Project Run and Play! Last month I had so many projects that I had to skip the fun but now I'm back :).
When I saw this months challenge I instantly knew what to do - a party dress! My godson is having his confirmation party in June and if anything is a good excuse to sew a new dress that party definitely is :).
I really liked this month's free pattern, I think the Summer Chevrons Shirt by the Crafty Cupboard is very pretty itself but easily to be modified into different kind of looks - you can do a shirt, a tunic, a dress, play with the fabrics or just use one.... I loved the yoke and the flutter sleeves and that's why I didn't want to change much, I just turned the pretty shirt into a girly dress. My little girl was very pleased with the result and she sure was like a little fairy in the forest when we took the pictures.
And I have a confession to make - I already made another version of this pattern too, a night dress, but I don't know if I have time to take the pics and blog about it until the 22nd, but I will definitely show it to you later then because it just turned out so cute!
The mesh fabric and sequin knit (used also here and here) are from Eurokangas, the cotton(mix) I used for lining from Marimekko outlet store.
