Classic Waterproof Mattress Protector by Wee Saver
If you have just finished Potty Training and looking a quality mattress protector OR your child is still wetting his or her bed and you are tired of washing those bulky mattress pad, then this Wee Saver Mattress Protector is the solution for you.
The Wee Saver Mattress Protector is:
- a unique, state-of-the-art product
- is fire retardant , waterproof , breathable and non- allergenic
- made from a luxurious fabric that is soft to the touch and to sleep on
- it is a low maintenance product will not attract lint or hair
This Wee Saver Mattress Protector will protect your mattresses as well as your investment .
(FYI - This is the mattress protector I use on my children's beds! )
This mattress pad fits all depths. Made in the USA
This mattress protector was designed to provide excellent protection; it does not have a thick padding, hence is not absorbent like the Stay Dry Mattress Pad by MOE. If you are looking for mattress protecton for reasons other then bed wetting or you are using diapers, or pull-ups or overnight underwear - this is an execellent choice for protecting your mattress. This is also a good choice if your child is wetting his or her bed occassionally.
If you are looking for protection as well as super absorbency in mattress protection, then this is not the right choice for you. Then, I would recommend either the Stay Dry Mattress Pad by MOE or the Saddle Style Waterproof Mattress Protector
CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Hot water wash with regular detergent. Use non-chlorine bleach. Air fluff to dry or use medium heat permanent press cycle.

these clear stamps for a few weeks now. I "found" them while blog hopping, etc. and can't honestly remember where. There She Goes stamps are so cute!! If you haven't heard of them before, why don't you check them out? They have just begun their April release countdown. I think I will break down this month and buy some. So, since I don't own any TSG stamps yet, I had to find one that I love. My favorite card in the TSG gallery (check it out here) was made by Maki Jones, TSG Trendsetters. This set is one on my list for sure called Slow and Steady!!

Last week, I wrote about some hard questions for God. If he answered me in a letter, I'm sure it would be much more beautiful than my attempt. Here's what I imagine and what speaks to my heart.
Dear Jen,
The time will come for answers, but it's not here just yet. I can tell you there are big things up ahead for you. I've known you before you were YOU, and I know there have been so many times in your life that have been complicated and mysterious. I've seen you search and search for answers, but there are some things you aren't ready to know.
I've seen you cry, shoulders heaving, and I cry heavy tears with you. I've also seen all the things that make you giggle and fill you with joy–the silly songs you make up when you're alone, the dark chocolate you leave in the freezer, the way your eyes light up every time you see a beautiful sunset or the way blue sky and mountains seem to take your breath away. I smile when I see you smile, and guess what? The corners of my eyes crinkle up just like yours.
I know you are tired. Don't wish your days away. Each one is filled with my goodness just waiting for you. It's okay to rest your mind and let me do my work. I'll let you know if I need your help. Rest.
I know you look back at carefree times and wish them back. Know the hardest days are not pointless. You are learning to trust me, and I know that is not easy. But, I am the Creator of the Universe. Don't you think I can handle what hurts and scares and puzzles you most? I created YOU; why would you worry I'd leave you in the middle of it, alone? All I ask is that you trust me. I have your back whether you see it or understand it or even feel it.
Just believe it.
This tough stuff right now, it won't be like this forever. Just as the seasons change and winter is giving way to spring, the times of your life change, too. Keep moving forward. You'll see up ahead, just around the corner is a new season for you, too.
When you are afraid, I am here. When you have nothing left to give, I am your strength. You have been through hard things before and will make it through again, this time and the next and the next. There is joy right here, every day, just waiting for you. Look for it. Marvel in it.
I love you. I am so proud of who you are. You are enough.
If God sent YOU a letter right now, what do you think it would say? ~Jen

I've had many mentors in my life. And the fashion authority I admire, well, they are as cliché as Tim Blanks, Hilary Alexander, and Godfrey Deeny. But recently, I've developed a slight addiction to Ms. Robin Givhan, fashion editor for the Washington Post.
That's another cliché , as we are both black women. However, in Ms. Givhan's case, the depth in her stories stem from archaic libraries in that tiny storage disc that is her brain. You can taste the richness of her knowledge; like a slice of red velvety cake. Conservative? Definitely. (That's okay. I'm an advocate of British Vogue, I enjoy the Financial Times' Fashion section, and I'm pro-Lisa Armstrong.) Ms. Givhan is a by-product of the 90s. The Princeton graduate started a Reporter covering Detroit's techno music scene in the late 80s before transitioning into fashion. She's won a Pulitzer Prize for her fashion criticism, and her work has appeared in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and The New Yorker. She currently reports exclusively on the Obama family – in my opinion, the highest honour in North American standards – among her other journalistic responsibilities. Now, Ms. Givhan should be seen as a role model to women of all creeds. But I digress.
My focus is clearer now than it was yesterday. I don't want ephemeral respect. I want to be known as someone whose tight grasp of fashion's history translates into a cohesive analysis of its future. Is it ambitious to aim for award-winning applaud? Perhaps appearances in the publications I so admire? I'm not concerned with being a "wordsmith," but rather, making you feel full from what I write. Among the true intellectuals on my radar are Alexandra Shulman, Harriet Quick, Tim Blanks – who cannot be left out of the equation – and Robin Givhan. Particularly Robin Givhan. She gives me what I will one day give you.

Ordinary traders just don't get it...
There was a time when having a "buy & hold" strategy was enough, but today (if you actually want to generate income and avoid shocking losses) you need to do more.
So how do you do it?
How do you build a "machine" that let's you trade the market, deposit monthly income, all on your own from home while you enjoy the life you were made to live?
Fortunately, that's exactly what you're about to learn...
(From people who actually have experience doing this stuff)
I'm not going to sell you on the importance of trading for extra income (cashflow).
If you're here, you already know it's an essential aspect of any strategy for retirement, because with extra income you can:
In other words, trading for income allows you to live the lifestyle you want, without the need to maintain a day to day career.
So that's why individual traders and people who want to retire need to trade for income.
That's where you come in.
After you have been through Foundations of Stocks & Options, you are uniquely qualified to trade your own account with the advanced techniques and strategies previously reserved for only the wealthiest of investors.
More specifically, in this class, you'll learn:
In short, people who have been through Foundations of Stocks & Options (a.k.a. "Trading Masters") are able to not only consistently pick winning trades...they are able to execute on those trades for real profits...even WITHOUT TAKING HUGE RISKS!
If you're interested in becoming such a "Trading Master," then I have one question for you...
Let's face it: Trading experts are a dime a dozen.
So how do you separate those who "walk the talk" from the ones who merely...
That's the problem!
And at TradeSmart, it was our problem, too. You see, we don't just teach trading best practices, we actually DO TRADING as a business.
We aren't researchers. We aren't journalists.
We're traders and investors managing investments (both online and offline) in multiple assets, everything from real estate to online businesses to TRADING STOCKS & OPTIONS and everything in-between.
In other words: WE ACTUALLY DO THIS STUFF...
...so we know how hard it is to find truly great training on how to grow your money from people who know what they're talking about.
And that's why we created Foundations of Stocks & Options.
We built this course from the notes we made OURSELVES, while learning to trade effectively. We often refer to it as "the best of our notes", but in the spirit of "open sourcing" our knowledge (which is what TradeSmart is all about) we're now making this training available to the world.
In short, we're making it available to YOU...
Foundations of Stocks and Options equipped me to succeed from day one with concise and attainable content. My TradeSmart instructors revealed how to condition my mindset and emotions for consistent profitability. This is the real deal; their professionalism is off the charts!
Experienced traders have an advantage - they know when the "little guy" is about to freak out and make a bad trade (you've never done that, we know, it's the other little guys!). Since pros have the training to see when the herd is about to make a mistake, they are able to pounce on the opportunity and take advantage. Now you can too. You don't have to trade like a little guy just because you have a small account. Learn these insights and dominate your trading competition.
One reason the pros can trade for monthly cash flow is because they know how to identify the predictable trades. Some trades are a "given". When they appear, the probability of that trade working out is extremely high. When you learn to identify these trades you can cash out on some of the predictability as well, which goes a long way in helping your cash flow!
It's famously quoted that you care more about the return of your money than the return on your money. But what if you could improve the odds of both? In this training your will learn how to lower your risk while also increasing the reward! It's less capital, for more, safer profits!
Everybody hates losing money, which is why we emphasize the importance of 1) money management and 2) capital preservation. Using the various money management techniques taught in this series you will learn how to increase your overall bottom line even if you are struggling to have a high win percentage in your trades. This one secret of the hedge fund managers is how they insure they will never go broke. When you use the techniques of the pros, you can profit like a pro.
"TSU has given me the confidence and knowledge to control my future. After 2 years of negative returns in 2014 and 2015 I had enough. In the 2 years of trading use the education received from TSU I have made more money then I did in the passes 20 years of a hands-off approach. Now my future is twice as good is it once was."
Adam Derrick
TSU Alumni
I did my first real money trade on Jan 29th, and now my account is currently up 50%. TradeSmart has given me all the tools that I need to become a successful trader. Thank you so much for all of the help with my education.
Rob Paulin
TSU Alumni
In this course you'll learn everything you need to improve your trading. How to anticipate the trade direction, apply a winning strategy, manage your risk, and exactly how to execute the trade.
The Foundations of Stocks & Options Course is broken into THREE LEVELS. Click one of the tabs below to learn more about what is included in each.
Foundations of Stocks and Options Level 1 is intended to help anyone get a strong understanding of what is involved in trading for active income. It introduces all of the key concepts of the overall program. You will learn the core philosophy active traders use to profit in the market, the tools needed to win, the strategies used to win in every market condition, and basic risk management techniques. LEVEL 1 is the ideal place for everyone to start. Beginning traders will find it challenging, but experienced traders will learn quite a bit as they fill in the gaps of knowledge they may not have realized they have.
Foundations of Stocks and Options Level 2 is the "guts" of market analysis. By the end of this course traders will know how to look at any stock they have never traded, do a well rounded analysis and be able to anticipate the most likely direction the stock will trade in the near future. It teaches all aspects of the TSU "5 Steps of Trade Confirmation". For traders who have primarily focused on "fundamental" analysis this course is an absolute must as it presents a complete and in-depth explanation of how and why technical analysis works. Day traders, swing traders, intermediate term traders alike, ALL ACTIVE TRADERS must understand the content of this 8-class series.
Foundations of Stocks and Options Level 3 is the keystone course in the "Foundations" series. In this section traders will learn how to assimilate all of the information taught throughout Foundations Level 1-2, and apply it to various strategic market conditions. It features the exclusive Trader Conditioning Process to help individuals expedite and integrate their knowledge. Participants will also learn more on the integration of various market strategies with a more in-depth introduction to working with stock options, bull and bear markets, and how to profit in sideways market conditions. The end of this series culminates with an emphasis on money management and risk mitigation as well as touching on how trading fits into the overall financial plan.

Grow your trading account and apply strategies for every market condition. Take control of your trades and beat the market.
53% of Retiring Americans are under prepared for retirement. Protect the capital you have while increasing income.
Get Started on the right path. Avoid the costly errors most traders experience when you start your career with the right training.
Pick trades that are trending, ride the trend for maximum growth, and reinvest the profits. Grow your account with better tools and better insights.
Control risk, build trading systems, and design a lifestyle that can create a predictable income. Learn how career traders approach the market.
...this course will set you apart from the pack.
Unlike everyone else who simply calls themselves a "trader," you'll have the training and knowledge to back it up, from a source that great traders have learned to trust.
Most importantly, it will make you a better trader before you enter in the market and experience all of the pain and losses most traders suffer - you'll have a head start.
Why? Because at TradeSmart University you're learning from people who have been down the road before, learned the painful lessons the hard way, and are now passionate to help you avoid those same mistakes. (And without tooting our horn too much, we're pretty good at this stuff!)
And we held nothing back.
These are the same systems and strategies we have used in our own trading accounts. Things we have proven, codified, and then turned into training to share with you.
So, if you want to:
Like every new trader, you need to work through a complete training like Foundations of Stocks and options that will give you a solid foundation to help you pick winning trades, apply winning strategies, and manage your risk. If this describes you then...
...maybe you already know how to trade.
But are you making as much money as you think you should? Do you know for a fact that you're up to speed on all the latest and greatest trading strategies?
More importantly, are there "holes" in your knowledge that are causing you to lose money - maybe things you didn't realize you don't know.
Let's be honest - if you're reading this the answer to the above questions are probably not what they should be. You're trying to stop losing money and start making more money.
But don't feel bad, you're not alone...
...Most individual traders (maybe as many as 67%) are just like you. They are TIRED OF LOSING MONEY and afraid they don't know how to pick winning trades.
The truth is, you are probably only 1-2 distinctions away from complete breakthrough and making all of the money you ever dreamed trading. But you have pieced your knowledge together from different sources. Trying to cherry pick the best of what each has to offer and put together your own trading system/strategy...
...and if you're like most people...
...it's not working.
Like every great trader, you need to work through a complete training like the Foundations of Stocks and Options that will fill in the gaps, help you see the market through the appropriate perspective, create a custom trading plan for yourself, and win. If this describes you, then...
Q: Can you guarantee my success in the stock market?
A: We can absolutely guarantee we will teach you exactly how we approach the market. Unfortunately it is impossible for us to monitor and guarantee how you will implement that information. Individual results will vary between each individual and when they will execute on the various techniques. We highly encourage all of our students to first test your trading results in a virtual trading account with "fake" money to learn and build your skill set. Then, when you are comfortable with your own skill set, you can choose on your own when to execute real money trades.
Q: Tell me more about your classes. What can I expect?
A: TradeSmart University offers classes in two formats:
1) On-Demand recordings - These lessons are previously recorded and are available in our members area to watch on your own time schedule. If you learn best early in the morning, during lunch or in the middle of the night, this format allows you to watch the training at a time that works best for you. Our videos play on mobile devices as well which means you can even watch while you are traveling on public transportation, or anywhere you feel "mobile"!
2) Live, Online Webinars - Live sessions allow our students access to a scheduled teaching of various training courses as well as access to Q&A with our teachers. Since our beginining we have used internet technology to bring our training directly into your homes. We currently work with the GoToWebinar platform which is cross platform (Mac or Windows) and also offers a mobile access on both iOS and Android. Live sessions are recorded and most are posted in the members area for later viewing and review.
Here's how it works …
Once you purchase a training course, that course is immediately available in your members area on our website. Simply log in and click on the class you want to watch. If a live session is coming up, a link to register will be available in the members area. We will also email instructions to get registered for upcoming live webinar trainings.
Q: I trade forex, will your training work in the forex market?
A: Yes! Everything we teach related to trading analysis applies to stocks, options, futures and forex. Additionally, we have a forex specialist who works with TradeSmart and teaches forex specific classes.
Q: Can I replace my job with your training?
A: Many of our students use the training we teach to replace their current income or create new income after a job loss or retirement. However, TradeSmart University can not guarantee how much actual cash you will make or be responsible for any losses you may incur.
Several factors go into determining an individual's success in the market. Size of account is one factor: A person trading a $500 trading account has a much different earning potential than someone trading a $50,000 account.
Individual execution is another factor: While we can train people how we analyze the market and choose trading opportunities, each individual is responsible for their own execution. These are issues outside of our control. Consequently we can not guarantee any actual income results based on our training.
Individuals need to consider their own financial positions and fully understand the risk factors associated with trading before placing real money trades. We highly encourage all of our students to first trade in a virtual trading environment (provided by many brokers) to practice their skills and learn the risks and benefits of any individual strategy we teach.
Q: I'm really interested. But first, tell me more about TradeSmart University's money-back guarantee.
A: With TradeSmart University, your purchase is 100% protected. You can try out all the training you purchase for 14 days risk-free. If you find that TradeSmart University isn't right for you, just let us know in the first 14 days and receive a full refund.
Q: Do I have to use your software to trade?
A: No. TradeSmart University provides general trading education which may be used with any trading platform. You are free to choose any charting software, broker, or platform you prefer to execute your own trades.
Q: I'm in! When do I get access to my classes?
A: Fantastic! You'll get access to any training your purchase (and everything else TradeSmart University has to offer) instantly when you purchase the offer below.
Q: "Are scholarships available?"
A: At this time no scholarships are available. Fortunately we have priced our classes so that they are affordable to all, especially compared to similar certification classes.
Yes, you can find other trainings and certifications that cover similar topics, but training from TradeSmart University is unique because it's built and taught by real traders who have actually done the things they teach.
In other words, we aren't journalists or "researchers." We're in-the-trenches doers who despise untested theory and believe that the best way to learn something is to roll up your sleeves and get your hands a little dirty. If that sounds appealing, then welcome! You've found your home.

Innovation, Creativity & Entrepreneurial Mindset is thinking differently, pushing boundaries, visioning new future, and pioneering new ideas for the benefit of the individual, corporation, nation, and society. In fact, these are the skills that made Jamshadji Tata to Narayamoorthy highly successful. SREC institutional culture is designed to foster the development of such mindset through multiple design courses and projects in individual courses. Students start with the Introduction to Engineering Design course in the first year where they learn and practice these skills while working in teams. SREC partnered with Purdue University to offer EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service) program as a part of the engineering curriculum. In this unique program students design, build, and deploy real systems to solve engineering-based problems for local community service and education organizations.
Further, SREC partnered with Saint Louis University to create Weekly Innovation Challenge to students. The goal of the competitions is for students to exercise their minds and creativity, just as they would their bodies. Challenges nurture their curiosity, ability to articulate and pitch their ideas, and design-build-test their ideas. Additional student competitions and activities that are open to all students help them to network with students from other disciplines and seniors. In this ecosystem, students become thought leaders who have the ability to conceive creative ideas, realize the innovative solutions, and create marketable products.
Industry Relevant Curriculum – Over time engineering education became highly theoretical and lost its practical relevance. The courses taught in colleges are "outdated" and became irrelevant in industry. To address this problem, SREC new curriculum places great emphasis in developing industry ready engineers. To this end, SREC created Industry-Institute Partnership Cell to foster strong ties with the industry. SREC design projects guided and assessed by industry mentors and evaluators, and students exposed to the current industry trends through constant interaction with the local industry. Through constant exposure to industry, the students have the business acumen to work and make a difference in their chosen industry
Interdisciplinary Learning –The global engineering is based on teams from different disciplines working together. For success, these interdisciplinary teams must understand different cultures associated with the disciplines and learn to see connections between different disciplines as well as course concepts. SREC ecosystem is designed to promote these constant collisions between ideas, thoughts, disciplines, and people by creating a large common core curriculum as well as extra-curricular opportunities that lead to rich learning experience. The common core requires students of different disciplines to take classes together and lasting professional network. In view of the importance of developing the interdisciplinary learning, the institute has established a Cognitive Science Center. An open elective course, 'Cognitive Engineering', is presently offered. An interdisciplinary group of faculty have successfully completed a Major Research Project funded by DST (2012-2015) under Cognitive Science Research Initiative titled 'Understanding Design Fixation in Indian Engineering Students'.
Information Technology – Information technology is revolutionizing our way of life from cellphone to Internet of things. SREC programmes are trained to leverage the ever-changing computer tools to create new products and services in their own areas of specialization.The new curriculum for all engineering majors provides a set of rigorous computer competency courses ranging from regular computer programming to new skills of app development, Internet of Things, and mechatronic systems. They learn to apply the computational tools in their discipline-specific projects and courses.

You want videos that reach your audience, deliver your message, and inspire action.
And I want to make them.
My production process is designed to ensure clear alignment on project objectives and open communication at a frequency that fits your needs.
While each video product is different, there is a general process that I follow for all productions to ensure we remain on the same page throughout the entire process.
Initial Consultation:This step may take place over email, phone, or in-person. During this step, I get a general sense of what services you're looking for and when you need them. Following this consultation, I will provide a quote including an outline of the services included, an associated timeline, and a payment schedule (generally: 30% on acceptance of quote; 30% after script approval; remaining balance upon delivery of final product). If you accept my quote, we will move to the next stages of the process.
Discovery Session:I walk you through a discovery session. The aim of this meeting is to get an understanding of your organization's needs, goals, and target audiences. It may also include requests for inspirational or strategic material from your organization (stories, existing videos, ads, example of current communications strategy, etc.). If I am providing video production services, it will include discussion about creative aspirations and possible storylines for the video.
For strategy services, following this session, I will complete market research and will deliver your strategy brief.
For video production services, this session will result in a creative brief.
For marketing services, this session will result in a marketing plan.
For Full Package services, following this session I will complete market research to complete the strategy brief, and I will develop the creative brief.
Pre-production:Depending on your video product, this stage will involve developing either a detailed script or narrative outline with associated interview questions. This work will be completed in consultation with you. A storyboard may be included as a deliverable for non-documentary videos. I will also develop a project plan, which will include a detailed production timeline. Once these materials have been approved, we will move to the next stage.
Filming:During this stage, I will work with my team to follow the production plan and capture the footage needed for the video. This may involve coming to your location and conducting interviews, setting up dedicated shoots, etc. All the details will be part of the production plan approved during pre-production.
If you have requested live streaming services, this will be when we attend and broadcast your event.
Editing:During this stage, I bring your story to life by piecing together the footage in adherence with the script or narrative arc. I add appropriate music, mix the sound, and add any needed graphic elements. I will provide an initial rough cut of the video for review and feedback, followed by a second cut. The second cut is generally the last review before the final product is delivered.
Delivery and Distribution:I deliver the final copy of your video in the necessary formats. If you have requested the full package, or marketing services, I deliver your video along with a detailed distribution and promotion plan that guides you on the most effective way to post, title, describe, and distribute your video.

Book Review
Baltimore's Alley Houses: Homes for Working People since the 1780s
By Mary Ellen Hayward. Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2008; 307 pp., illustrations; cloth, $45.00.
New York built tenements, walk-up apartments of several stories, with no water and few windows in the inner walls. The conditions in these tenements became scandalous via writers like Jacob Riis in the late 19th century.
Baltimore builders learned to build two- or three-story row houses on the main streets, and tiny row houses on the back streets or alleys. In early Philadelphia and Baltimore, builders erected diminutive two-story versions of the grand Federal houses built for wealthier clients. Often a block was subdivided with the larger houses facing outward and an alley running through the middle with more modest dwellings facing it. By laying out blocks with an alley street down the middle, developers could produce more house lots. Some of the earliest alley dwellings had no backyards but abutted the houses built behind them.
In communities where all but the very wealthy had to walk to work, housing was required for every income level within the same geographic area. Substantial merchants and businessmen could afford large three-story houses on major streets. Shopkeepers, craftsmen, and artisans lived in two-story houses nearby. The laboring classes who did the physical work of the community also had to live nearby, occupying more modest houses, which they rented or sometimes were able to buy. This arrangement continued until the advent of the streetcars in the latter 19th century, when workers were able to live further away from their jobs.
Later alley dwellings had small backyards to accommodate a privy. These small working-class row houses accommodated every wave of emigrant that landed in Baltimore, a large native African American population, and African American emigrants coming up from the south. Large numbers of Irish, German, Bohemian, Polish, Jewish, Italian, and Greek immigrants came through Baltimore. Many of them stayed on to found vibrant ethnic neighborhoods, some of which remain to this day. Poor immigrants occupying back alley houses, through thrift saving clubs, were able to make small down payments on purchasing a row house. As people from these groups moved on to more ample housing, newly arrived immigrants took up their places in old Baltimore neighborhoods. Many neighborhoods revolved around ethnic churches, which had a priest, rabbi, or minister who spoke the native language. Extolling the Baltimore row house, George Washington Howard wrote in 1873, in The Monumental City: Its Past History and Present Resources about Baltimore's "utter absence of tenement-houses, with their squalid wretchedness," where "the humblest mechanic or laborer can ensconce his family in a modest dwelling and surround them with the pleasures and comforts of home."(1)
The Irish arrived in large number to Baltimore during the Potato Famine in 1846-50. Ships would arrive in the Baltimore Harbor with many passengers who had died in the Atlantic Passage. Local Irish helped the famine victims find housing near Union Square in west Baltimore. Luckily, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was developing great guns at that time, and many of the Irish found work digging the roadbed and laying track for the railroad to Cumberland, Maryland and westward. Many of these Irish laborers followed the railroad westward with their families. Many others stayed in Baltimore.
Germans came after the failure of the 1848 German Democratic movement. They established singing societies, bakeries, breweries, and piano factories, adding to the commercial and cultural life of the city. Many Bohemians who came had a high school education and were skilled woodworkers, carvers, cabinetmakers, or tailors. A Bohemian builder, Frank Novak developed the classic Baltimore row house in the early 20th century, with marble basement and marble steps. German Jewish businessmen built grand row houses along Eutaw Place with magnificent new synagogues. The Italians settled in an area near Fells Point still known as Little Italy.
Well-to-do African Americans, often descended from Maryland freedmen, occupied a fashionable neighborhood in the Druid Hill Park area, moving in after German Jewish settlers, who were denied residence in other white neighborhoods. Baltimore neighborhoods became "red lined" restricting Jewish and African Americans from buying property. Blacks had always lived in the Fells Point and Federal Hill neighborhoods, sharing both principle street and alley dwellings with white residents. The influx of southern blacks after the Civil War swelled these neighborhoods. A "Great Migration" of blacks from the South continued in the years between the World Wars, filling up old neighborhoods and alley dwellings in central Baltimore. A residential housing city ordinance enacted after the Civil War, disallowed blacks from moving into blocks that were 50 percent white. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned this ordinance in 1917, but de facto segregation continued.
Early 20th-century reformers addressed the alley dwellings lacking sanitation facilities, as the city gradually moved to provide sewers and indoor toilet and bathing facilities.
Eastern Europeans, Poles, Czechs, Italians, and Russian Jews arrived to swell the ethic mix and rich diversity of Baltimore neighborhoods. The newcomers often occupied the cheapest alley dwellings vacated by the upwardly mobile previous occupants. The canneries east of Fells Point provided a source of employment for unskilled newly arrived workers. Slum clearance became a preoccupation, and Poe Homes, Baltimore's first public housing project with garden style apartments was built 1940-1941.
In 1967, fighting a new interstate highway that would be built across historic waterfront neighborhood Fells Point and Federal Hill, preservationists rallied to nominate both neighborhoods to a new National Register of Historic Places. The famous dollar house program that followed allowed homesteaders and gentrifiers to renovate waterfront neighborhoods with alley dwellings as well. Very soon alley dwellings and larger homes on surrounding streets, vacated by the city's poor, became chic new homes for young white urban pioneers who desired to live downtown close to their workplaces. While some inner-city neighborhoods have been renovated, several outlying neighborhoods remain unrestored and derelict, creating a challenge to preserve a huge housing stock of Baltimore row houses for all classes. Substantially built, they have provided housing for generations of Baltimoreans.
With meticulous research, Mary Ellen Hayward has re-created the history of working-class Baltimore and the waves of its ethnic emigrants and citizens by studying row houses and their neighborhoods. The book is an extraordinarily focused lens into 19th—and early 20th—century immigration patterns into America, with a rich social history included of the lives and fortunes of all the groups who arrived and struggled to establish themselves, with many ultimately providing themselves and their families a good living and solid housing, if constricted by street entrances, party walls, and limited light and ventilation, yet with quick and easy access to work, markets, church, and temple.

Now is the time to get excited about Make a Difference Day projects for Oct. 26, a national day of service where millions of people across the country participate in thousands of volunteer projects.
Be sure to register your projects at www.visaliatimesdelta.com. Go to the Make a Difference Day logo and click on "Register your projects now!"
I interviewed a few nonprofits for a story about Make a Difference Day and my best quote was from a Girl Scout at the Visalia Friendship House, Doretta McCully, 9:
""Make a Difference Day is when you help change the world and make it a better place."
She and a bunch of Girl Scouts plan on sprucing up the red 60-year-old, flat-topped wooden house at the corner of School Avenue and Jacob Street across from Recreation Park. Up to 200 Girl Scouts use this meeting place each month.
With lots of volunteers pulling together in one day, a lot can be accomplished, said Samantha Schilling, 12.
"We get things done faster on Make a Difference Day," she said.
The Urban Tree Foundation, CSET and the City of Visalia plan on getting a lot done in one morning with 200 plus volunteers. Their project is always a real feel-good experience for people of all ages and abilities. The labor-intensive work, digging the holes, is done ahead of time with a post-hole digger.
Outside in the bright sunshine (hopefully!) they plant native trees and bushes along walking paths. This year's project will be on the western front of the St. Johns Riverwalk, just east of Dinuba Boulevard.
Read about this project and more in Saturday's Inspire section.
For the first time, Pro-Youth HEART, an after-school program for Tulare County children, will have their own Make a Difference Day project. Pro-Youth is the recipient of this year's Make a Difference Day grant from the Gannett Foundation.
You may remember that Gannett owns the Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register, as well as USA WEEKEND, a news magazine which sponsors Make a Difference Day along with Points of Light, a nonprofit that connects people to projects.
We invite other businesses, churches and organizations to sponsor Make a Difference Day projects with monetary support and/or volunteer labor.

By Andrew Liszewski
For better or worse, Flip has stuck to their guns when it comes to being the easiest to use pocket camcorder on the market. While the majority of its competitors have found a foothold in the market by filling the holes where the Flip is lacking, it still remains incredibly popular. Even we have pointed out the Flip's shortcomings time and time again, like the lack of an external mic port which would make it considerably better for activities like conducting interviews. But at the same time, if my dad ever decided to get his YouTube on, the Flip would easily be my first recommendation to him.
So while not necessarily caving in to the feature-packed peer pressure of its competition, Cisco has recently improved the Flip in a way that still keeps it dead easy to use, but also makes it more appealing to those who've always wanted more…
First announced a couple of months ago in the US and officially available up here in Canada as of last week, the new Flip UltraHD 2-hour model now features an extra proprietary connection option on the bottom known as the FlipPort. It's basically designed to let third-parties (and presumably Cisco) create accessories that enhance the functionality of the Flip. But since they're all going to be optional, they won't end up complicating the Flip itself either. Now unfortunately we haven't actually had a chance to try any of these accessories out since none of them are available just yet, but we've already written about a few of them like Scoshe's Bluetooth freedomMIC which is quite frankly a dream come true for Flip users who conduct a lot of interviews.
Sadly though the addition of the FlipPort to the bottom of the UltraHD 2-hour (and eventually all the UltraHD models) has meant that the 'Type C' mini HDMI connector has been replaced with a 'Type D' micro HDMI connector. Finding a mini HDMI compatible cable when I first reviewed the Flip UltraHD last year was hard enough, and I imagine that micro HDMI cables are even less available. So perhaps this could be another 'comes with' item in the future, because being able to connect the Flip directly to a hi-def TV is a great feature.
Some of the other new notable upgrades to the latest generation UltraHD includes 60fps capture (on the 2-hour model at least) which is great for capturing home videos that make it really feel like you're there, but not so awesome if you're going for the 'film look' instead of video. However, given the Flip UltraHD now has the processing power to capture 720P @ 60fps, it hopefully means that 1080P recording, even at just 30P, might be just around the corner.
The addition of image stabilization (finally!) is a huge plus as well. Sure it's impressive that something as small as the Flip can capture HD video like those shoulder mounted behemoths used by ENG news crews. But resting a heavy camera on your shoulder has a huge advantage over just holding it in your hand when it comes to keeping things stable. 90% of YouTube is a testament to that fact, so it's great to see that the Flip can now take care of some of those jitters automatically in camera.
And finally, while the MinoHD models have also gained image stabilization and 60fps recording, not only are they lacking the FlipPort due to size constraints, but another big feature that the UltraHD has had for some time now. The trademark flip-out USB connector the Flips are well known for are a handy way to recharge the camera from a PC or a laptop, but when traveling it's nice to have a backup. So while the compact MinoHD's battery is locked away inside its housing, the UltraHD's is not only accessible, but can be swapped out with 3 readily available AAA batteries. It might add a tiny bit of bulk to the whole package, but I think a lot of users will consider it well worth it.
The latest generation Flip UltraHD 2-hour, 8GB model is now available for $199.99 ($209.99 CDN) and while the 1-hour, 4GB model is cheaper at $149.99 ($159.99 CDN) it currently lacks the built-in image stabilization.

Everyone's brain is different. A qEEG brain map (or 'Q' for short) enables us to see your unique pattern of mental strengths and weaknesses – areas of the brain where there is too little or too much activity, and areas that are not coordinating their activity well. Once we can see the reason for your struggles on a brain level, we can create a neurofeedback training programme that is personalised to resolve your specific brain issues.
Neuroimaging such as a MRI measure structure and function of the brain whereas an EEG measures brain activity, An EEG uses surface sensors to detect the brain's electrical patterns (known as brainwaves). It is these electrical patterns, the brain's activity, that is important to us. An EEG tells us what your brain is doing, moment to moment. Getting an EEG is non-invasive and painless. Much like a heart monitor which only records your heart rate, the sensors only record the electrical activity of the brain; it is not invasive in any way.
Brain mapping was introduced more than 30 years ago as a means to measure and diagnose brain function. It has become a primary tool in neuroscience. QEEG's are used in research centres all over the world to study ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, depression and bipolar disorder, PTSD, anxiety disorders, learning disabilities, and a wide range of emotional conditions.
Brainwaves are detected using sensors placed on the scalp. Our brainwaves change according to what we're doing and feeling. When slower brainwaves are dominant we can feel tired, slow, sluggish, or dreamy. The higher frequencies are dominant when we feel wired, or hyper-alert.
When our brainwaves are out of balance, there will be corresponding problems in our emotional or neuro-physical health. Research has identified brainwave patterns associated with all sorts of emotional and neurological conditions.
Over-arousal in certain brain areas is linked with:
Under-arousal in certain brain areas leads to some types of:
A combination of under-arousal and over-arousal is seen in cases of anxiety, depression and ADHD. Instabilities in brain rhythms correlate with tics, obsessive-compulsive disorder, aggressive behaviour, rage, bruxism, panic attacks, bipolar disorder, migraines, narcolepsy, epilepsy, sleep apnea, vertigo, tinnitus, anorexia/bulimia, PMT, diabetes, hypoglycaemia and explosive behaviour.

Glowing Guardian
|Glowing Guardian
|Initial worship
|Prep penalty
Missing info
The Glowing Guardian is a deity of justice, heroism, and an inordinate number of rules. He is one of the most powerful deities in the game, but he also has significant limitations that require conversion to use him effectively. The Glowing Guardian has been the subject of frequent updates recently, and has seen overhauls to how his piety gain and loss mechanisms work.
The Glowing Guardian is unlocked in a subdungeon to the East that will put you through several trials.
The Glowing Guardian is at his finest in two circumstances: at the very beginning of a dungeon run when you're a fresh 1st level character, and at the very end of the dungeon run when you've already spent all or your potions and need a last minute boost to pull off a win. Glowing Guardian is a significantly weaker option towards the middle of a dungeon run, where you will not be able to effectively leverage his long-term benefits but will still run into some of his late-game complications.
When joining the Glowing Guardian at early levels, you will want to maximize your long-term advantage from Humility and Absolution.
The Absolution boon allows you to convert weaker monsters into hit points. In the long run, this will only cost you a small amount of piety, but will grant you a considerable number of hit points. As a low-level character, this can easily give you a health total five to six times higher than what you'd normally have. Since you have to gain a Prayer Bead each time, the item slot efficiency for five Absolutions is twice as good as a Item: Health Pendant Health Pendant, and you gain 5% magic resistance in the process.
Because your health regeneration rate does not increase, you will need to level-up to refill your health bar. Exploration will be ineffective for healing until you've gained several levels, and with your high hit point totals you should be able to fight powerful monsters for large amounts of bonus XP.
The Humility boon is one of the most powerful in the game. Lowering your current level will reduce your health regeneration speed and the effectiveness of some glyphs that are based on character level (such as HALPMEH or BURNDAYRAZ), but will not reduce any of your other abilities. When fighting monsters that are a higher level than yourself, this will increase the amount of bonus experience that you earn. In the long run, this extra bonus XP can be extremely beneficial. To look at it another way, when you have earned enough bonus experience to pay for your initial XP setback, you will have caught up with where you were before and essentially be sitting on top of one level's worth of bonus health and base damage - this is quite easily achieved if you manage to take Humility at level 2. For longer endurance challenges like Naga City or Gaan-Telet, the extra level's worth of bonus stats on a Level 10 character is invaluable.
The Cleansing boon is more niche, but can be invaluable for fighting physical-resist bosses or in situations where you are trying to get the specialist badge. Although it's an expensive method to clear status ailments, it's less painful than using a potion.
Full-time worship - Enlightenment (or not?)
Eventually, you will need to deal with the Glowing Guardian's one unavoidable hatred: drinking potions. At a punishment of 10 piety per sip, this can be catastrophic for anyone who needs this resource in their end-game fight. The most obvious option is to convert out. Given the large amount of piety the Glowing Guardian can generate if you begin worship early, this is a fairly straightforward approach. Another option is to desecrate other altars, which will grant you indulgences to ignore piety loss. A third option is to convert your potions for piety and rely on the Guardian's protection boon, but this is usually only sensible when pursuing the Feeling Parched badge.
Keep the above paragraph in mind before you consider performing Enlightenment. If you only manage to buy the boon just before the boss fight, you will have 0 piety and will hardly earn any more until your next level-up, if ever. In this moment, you can't use the Protection boon, and you can't drink potions. Is it really worth it? What do you really want - Mana? Magic resist? Damage? Are other gods able to help with this more easily? Enlightenment scales, but just when it's starting to scale into something good, it ruins your day by denying you refills. Don't fall for the Enlightenment trap. Instead, either budget for an Enlightenment that works for you, or simply convert out.
If you can desecrate a relatively harmless altar like Binlor's, then you will have some piety and three indulgences, which can go a long way. So using Enlightenment immediately before a desecration can be a good option, but sometimes this is not available.
When else can you use Enlightenment? You have some options for managing piety. One way is to be conservative on Absolutions, doing 2-3 of them instead of 4-5, taking Enlightenment a little earlier, and then continuing to level up for more piety. This takes a lot of planning, and you will likely end up having to convert potions you can't afford to drink.
The last option is to just farm that much piety - but only the longest dungeons make this feasible. The idea is to gain Enlightenment, gain 50 or more piety, spend the excess on Protections, and convert out so you can drink potions at your leisure. This won't really be feasible without either a very long dungeon or the presence of Pactmaker for the Consensus boon (immediately after you use the protections.) Even then, your new god won't do much for you unless it's the kind of god who awards piety for killing popcorn or using blood pools in some way, but the important thing is that you can use potions.
The perfect storm, then, is a long dungeon with Binlor and Pactmaker for pure Enlightenment shenanigans. The most likely way to pull this off is to prepare Binlor, since preparing Glowing Guardian himself incurs a penalty that defeats the purpose of full-time worship. In otherwords, extreme Enlightenment is a cool random opportunity you may stumble upon, but not a feasible strategy in general.
The TL;DR on Enlightenment is that it isn't always a strong option, and taking it at the wrong time can easily ruin your entire run. Converting out at 50-100 piety is often for the best.
The exception to the rule is Paladin. A Paladin can spam Absolutions, get Enlightenment on a discount, and then drink potions at her leisure, incurring no punishment for it. Aggressive use of Absolution and some Protections, saving just enough piety for an Enlightenment near the end, is actually viable in this case.
Other deities
One of the best ways to use the Glowing Guardian is to convert into his religion after having expended all your potions in order to spend piety on Protection. This can be an effective last-minute boost, especially if you have plenty of items in your inventory that you can convert for more piety.
The Glowing Guardian works well with several deities. The most straightforward ways to convert into his religion are from The Earthmother or Binlor Ironshield. Both of these gods can generate large amounts of piety for 1st and 2nd level characters, allowing someone to arrive in the Guardian's religion with large amounts of piety (and perhaps a few boons already purchased) but still a low-level character. When converting out to other gods, there are two particularly powerful choices: Tikki Tooki and (perhaps surprisingly) Dracul.
Both Tikki and Dracul are powerful end-game gods that can empower a character who has been leverage the Glowing Guardian's long-term advantages. Both suffer somewhat from the use of absolution, since it removes weaker monsters that can be killed (and in the case of Dracul, harvested for blood) for piety. However, both of these gods can provide benefits that are extremely well-suited to a typical Glowing Guardian follower.
The Glowing Guardian does not work well with Taurog, Mystera Annur or Jehora Jeheyu. Due to inventory constraints, it is very difficult to use the boons of both Taurog and the Glowing Guardian. Mystera offers no particular synergy with the Guardian, but they will at very least not interfere with each other. Jehora Jeheyu is generally not a god that favours conversion between religions to begin with, and given the windows of opportunity for optimal conversion are quite narrow with the Guardian it's seldom an option to jump between these two gods.

Sprint Planning Meeting
Sprint Planning Meetings in Scrum
Each sprint begins with a sprint planning meeting. For a one month or four-week sprint this meeting should last eight hours. For a two-week sprint, plan for about four hours. As a general rule of thumb, multiply the number of weeks in your sprint by two hours to get your total sprint planning meeting length.
Sprint Planning: Part One
Sprint planning is typically broken into two parts. Part one of sprint planning is a review of the product backlog items the product owner will ask the team to forecast and deliver. This is the time for the product owner to describe what they want to see built for the next sprint. During this part of the meeting, it is not uncommon for the team to engage in conversation with the product owner, asking clarifying questions and driving away ambiguity. By the end of sprint planning part one, the team will select a sprint goal: a one-sentence description of the overall outcome of the sprint. This helps later when questions about depth and breadth come up: If the work does not directly tie to the sprint goal, then it is not done during the sprint.
Sprint Planning: Part Two
During part two of sprint planning, the team decides how the product backlog items will be built. The team begins by decomposing the product backlog items into work tasks and estimating these in hours. The product owner must be available during this part of the meeting but does not have to be in the room the whole time. In fact, many teams find it helpful to work without product owner during this detailed part of the meeting. Knowing that the product owner is available yet not having them observing all of the discussion about the best way to implement a feature can be freeing for many teams. Many teams find they enjoy discussing many implementation possibilities without worrying that the product owner will panic or misunderstand. If the product owner does remain in the room, the ScrumMaster needs to take charge of this part of the meeting, keeping the team focused and free to explore possibilities without being limited by the product owner's own ideas or opinions.
The outputs of sprint planning will be the sprint backlog and a finalized sprint goal.

9th Annual City Development Conference: Human-Centric Digital Cities
November 13-15, 2019
This conference a must-attend gathering which provides a perfect platform for those involved in urban planning, architecture, development, government and any aspect of city development. City Development is essential because cities across the world are racing to cope with rapid uncontrolled urbanisation. As quoted by United Nations, 54% of the world's population lives in urban areas, a number that is expected to increase to 66% by 2050. This dramatic rise in urban population necessitates properly planned and built cities across the globe.
Smart and sustainable people-oriented city is an exciting fast growing trend in creating high quality, vibrant, liveable, safe and efficient communities. It is the creation of compact, walkable, pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use communities centred around transit systems, affordable housing, mixed use developments, technology driven facilities, public spaces, schools, hospitals and everything a community needs. This makes it possible to live a lower-stress life, efficient and high quality living.
This conference is specially designed to meet all city involved development and planning practitioners' demands to secure and guarantee their investments. This conference will cover various aspects of urban city planning and design as well as innovative smart development and technologies to maximise efficiency and create the "Best Liveable, Smart and Sustainable City".

2019 Jeep Cherokee Latitude FWDNew Search Select Other Trims
New Search
Recently Viewed
2019 Jeep Cherokee OverviewThe 2019 Jeep Cherokee comes in several different trims -- Latitude, Latitude Plus, Limited, High Altitude, Trailhawk, Overland and Trailhawk Elite. Two engines are available and both front-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive are available across all trim levels.
The basic engine in the Cherokee is a 2.4L 4-cylinder unit that produces 180 horsepower. When mated to the standard (and industry-first) 9-speed automatic with front-wheel drive, the Cherokee is capable of up to 31 mpg on the highway. The more powerful engine option is a 3.2L V6, which produces 271 horsepower and gives the Cherokee quite good acceleration for its class. This engine features stop/start technology to help boost fuel economy and it is also mated to the same 9-speed transmission used in the 4-cylinder version.
The all-new 2.0L inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine outshines it's V6 counterpart matching it's 270 horsepower mark but putting down a whopping 295 foot-pounds of torque. All of this with equal gas mileage figures with the 2.4L naturally aspirated four-cylinder. The figures coming in at 23 city 31 highway in front-wheel form and 21 city and 29 highway when equipped with all-wheel drive.
The Latitude trim includes 17-inch aluminum wheels, body-colored exterior mirrors and door handles, projector beam fog lamps, roof rails and a rearview camera.
The Latitude Plus adds to that with an 8.4-inch Uconnect radio featuring a color touch screen, SiriusXM radio, keyless go, leather inserts in the cloth seats, a leather steering wheel and an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat.
Step up to the Limited trim and things begin to get quite luxurious. Limited Cherokees get leather seats, 18-inch polished aluminum wheels, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and a heated steering wheel, a nicer instrument cluster, an 8.4-inch color touchscreen display, an 8-way power adjustable driver's seat, satellite radio connectivity, dual-zone climate control and automatic headlights.
The High Altitude Cherokee is much like the Limited but adds blackout exterior trim, with gloss black alloy wheels, badges, lower grille and roof rack.
The Trailhawk edition steps away from luxury and instead concentrates on off-road capabilities. The Trailhawk Cherokee includes a much nicer 4-wheel-drive system, with a locking differential for ultimate grip in low traction environments. It also has more undercar protection and a one-inch lift in the suspension. Interior amenities echo what's included in the Latitude trim, plus exclusive seating with Nappa leather bolsters and red accent stitching, as well as a driver-configurable digital cluster display.
The Cherokee Overland rides on 18-inch wheels and includes a power liftgate, extra sound deadening material for a quieter ride, wooden steering wheel inserts, a leather-trimmed dash, Nappa leather seating with ventilated, power-adjustable front seats, navigation and a premium Alpine 9-speaker sound system.
Finally, the Trailhawk L Plus brings the off-road capability of the Trailhawk, along with ventilated and heated Nappa leather seats, heated steering wheel and mirrors, dual-zone climate control and a power liftgate.
Safety features on the Cherokee include anti-lock brakes, traction control, stability control, hill-start control and ten airbags. Optional safety features include a blind spot monitor, park assist, a forward collision warning system and a roadside assistance button.
2019 Jeep Cherokee Model Changes
The 2019 Jeep Cherokee benefits from a re-styled front fascia that aligns it more with the Compass and Grand Cherokee visually but also includes the addition of a turbo-charged powerplant that brings excellent torque and fuel economy. Throw in an improved interior with more space and excellent use of materials and the Cherokee makes a statement in a hot crossover market.
2019 Jeep Cherokee Value
The Cherokee is a compact SUV competing with vehicles such as the Toyota RAV4 and the Honda CR-V. Like the Cherokees that came before, the 2019 model maintains the tradition of competitive pricing and strong off-road capability starting at just under $26,000. While the Cherokee and its competitors are often offered with all-wheel drive, the Cherokee offers more aggressive off-roading equipment, such as a locking rear differential.
2019 Jeep Cherokee Strengths
Good ground clearance; available all-wheel-drive; roomy interior; well equipped; bold styling; excellent value

Those swords that my Mom got the boys waaaaaaaaaaaaay back in October are still going strong.
The boys more-than-love them.
They love to smack each other senseless, pretend to be pirates, and do who-knows-what else with them.
For two bucks apiece, those swords were a great buy.
Tonight, I was playing "swords" with Cameron. I don't normally do this, because the boys play pretty rough, and I am
a gigantic sissy terribly prone to injury. Nine times out of 10 I get seriously hurt in some weird, off-the-wall way just by being in the same room as them when they play. I don't even have to be involved in whatever game they are playing...I can be folding laundry on the bed on the other side of the room, and a block gets flung off the end of a tower, flies across the room, and nearly pokes my eye out.
You know....stuff like that.
But tonight, even though it was out of character for me, I joined in the "fun".
Yes--that's "fun" in quotation marks.
Cameron and I were smacking back and forth, and he dealt me a pretty good blow. I ducked my head, closed my eyes, and then--retaliated.
I swung in Cameron's general direction with full force--after all, that is, I was informed, how we play swords--and solidly connected with poor Cameron's face.
He was fine, by the way. That is why I love these swords.
However, he proceeded to take the opportunity to scold me saying:
"See? That's why grown-ups don't play swords."

Why Molfetta? Why not? I had heard good things about this seaport on the Adriatic, and just decided to go with it!
Now getting to the town was a breeze, however finding our hotel was more challenging. With a location in the historic center came to mean that there were more alleyways than streets.
So the GPS took me to a Piazza, then decided it was going to take a rest. I found a sort of central agency (Municipio), where the man inside said he did not know the street San Girolamo. Holy smolly, you from here, and do not know it. I am in trouble!
He did locate it, and I took a photo. So if you notice on the diagram Largo Municipo, and go left on Via Morte, San Girolamo is next up. He instructed me to go through an archway, the entrance to the historic centre.
What he did not tell me was that these streets are not really driveable. They are narrow, and the house steps make it tougher. So I find the infamous archway, excitedly go down Via Piazza, and it gets tighter and tighter.
Soon a man is directing me to turn to back up and make a left. I want out. So I have to go down a road and now I am by the sea. I can see the docks, which would be an easy out, but there is a chained gate. Naturally!
So I must retrace my route, go through the archway, and then turn right to end up by the docks. We then have to ask, and end up walking down the same road I came down. I had gone right passed the hotel, but there was no parking permitted!
I tell you this because I swear I am not going to let this happen again when I am driving in Italy, and lo and behold, it does. Dai.. (Italian for a drawn out expressive – why me!)
So we are in the historic center, which is adjacent to the harbour. Molfetta once operated as an independent seaport, trading with other Mediterranean markets like Venice, Alexandria, and Constantinople. It also became a point of departure for pilgrims going to the Holy Land. The Crusades added to the importance of embarkation from this town.
There was a sense that the fisherman we saw represented generations of those in the same profession. Just hard working men. There were some luxury boats, but for the most part this was serious stuff. They tended to their nets, spend their free time in the evening on board preparing for the next day, and with patience needed to dock, bring their catch in to and take to the nearby market.
Being in their proximity, then having a frutti di mare with fresh octopus at dinner, brought a respect for those who harvest the sea.
We need reminded more often that our food does not come from the grocery store.
Il Doumo di San Corrado was built in the 12th-13th centuries, and was right next to our hotel. We saw three or four weddings over a period of two days. It was very barebones as far as decor goes, but nonetheless pointed to the era in which it was built. The two towers loom above the church, and one was a bell tower, the other a watchtower.
We enjoyed seeing the interior courtyards, and the baptismal fonts. It was obvious we were in a place of antiquity and of historical significance. Molfetta did not deliver us to our hotel in the beginning, but did deliver us a great ending.
