The Valwood Young Alumni Association was created in 2016 as a bridge between Valwood and its newest alumni. Former Valwood students who have graduated in the last decade are automatically members of the YAA. With this new chapter formed under the Valwood Alumni Association, a focus will be placed on additional targeted programming and giving participation at a more comfortable level. Young Alumni now make up approximately 35% of the alumni association population as class sizes have grown over the years. Enjoy the benefits of networking with other alumni, staying connected to Valwood, and establishing new friendships along the way.
As former students of Valwood, you recognize the importance of funding beyond tuition. Support on all levels is essential to the future growth and development of this campus and its students. Valwood is proud to have committed alumni that realize the importance of consistent giving. Young Alumni giving is essential as it begins the basis for future support that Valwood can rely on in years to come. Continue the tradition by becoming a member of the newly formed YAA giving club, the 1968 Society.
Young Alumni Supporting the Annual Fund
Valwood was chartered in 1968, and in keeping with the school's rich history of generosity, the 1968 Society has been formed to celebrate gifts to the school by members of the Young Alumni Association who are beginning their tradition of generosity.
Donating to the 1968 Society to support the Annual Fund creates flexible, unrestricted resources for Valwood leadership to spend annually. Many donors give specifically to funds that provide scholarships, academic programs, building needs and much more. However, these gifts enable the leadership to create financial sustainability for our institution thus not touching tuition dollars or increasing tuition. Increased sustainability only enhances the value of your degree and opportunities for future generations. Every Gift Matters!
Valwood Believes in Itself
Every year, Valwood faculty and staff have a 100% giving rate to the Annual Fund! They believe in the institution they serve and can attest to the quality of education our students receive.
Donors = Diversity
Growing financial needs of our students require more assistance. Any gifts to Valwood help free up funds that can go to helping out students that need it most!
Alumni Programming and School Pride
Valwood has embarked on renewed efforts towards alumni programming. With increased events and participation, Valwood Alumni are showing their pride more than ever! Giving is another way to show your vote of confidence in your school and celebrate future generations!
Financial Impact
Everyone agrees that the "new" campus is spectacular. It was a huge need that was able to be realized with the support and commitment of numerous donors and community partnerships. Valwood continues to be committed to its debt reduction plan which monies from Annual Fund contribute to each year. The long-term goal of debt reduction is working well and prevents increases in tuition.
The 1968 Society creates a special and unique opportunity for first-time donors. It is important to showcase your willingness to participate and support your alma mater. Every year that you give to the 1968 Society, your name will be listed in the Valwood Visions annual publication. You will also receive a token of appreciation and you will be included in special events for 1968 Society members.
The below information provides you with information on how to request transcripts and other documents.

Hi there.
Like "Meteowrite", "Intreme" is another experiment. It is the blog counterpart of a French-written zine I (re)animate from time to time.
Its name says it all: it is about "inside extremes", things of the mind, you know …
I know many of my musings are cheap psychological tricks and nonsenses, but more than the result, the way to get there is what interests me 😉
I'm not trying to define a definitive Truth (there is no such thing), or to rally you to my thinking (it is in perpetual reconstruction, I regularly contradict myself). I'm just having fun with ideas, and inviting you to the party 😀
Anyway, here is a hand-made translation of one of the articles I wrote a long time ago.
The twelve faces of fear
How do you measure fear?
By the angle between your hair and your skin, the frequency of your shivers, or the number of goosebumps on your arm?
Instead of listing our fears physical impacts, let's try to analyze them in terms of intensity, and sanity level on the subject.
After all, doesn't fear apply first on our mind , which is the true target? The body then simply produces empathic reactions.
Let's follow this graph: the horizontal axis leads us to fears of increasing intensity, the vertical one represents our thinking capabilities; the higher on the graph, the more we think.
- Top-left: Unease and Fright.
These are toned-down versions of fear, they are quickly forgotten unless one is tired or lets his imagination race freely.
- Bottom-left: Aversion, Repulsion and Disgust are also precisely defined fears, and reside in our atavistic area. One cannot really explain them, and doesn't really want to try either. They too quickly fade.
- Upper-middle: Dread is a more extensive fear, with a medium intensity. It has a wide range of psychic representations, but remains in the active consciousness area.
To keep on existing, dread needs us to think, and feed it. One can dread something and imagine any possible way to erase it, or stay in mental control, but physically passive.
- Upper-right: Horror.
Everything is stronger in Horror. More intense, it freezes our mind and doesn't let it work properly. The most horrible with Horror is that we still have just enough thinking energy to realize how strong and overwhelming it is. This extreme fear makes our mind overheat, but not to our advantage …
- Bottom-middle: Phobia.
Not as strong as Horror, but truly visceral, Phobia is a fear without conscience. A given situation or object obliterate every thinking mechanism, and generally produces an obstinate refusal or physical recoil.
- Bottom-right: Panic is the pathway to the loss of control. Logic is thrown off board, you are a hunted animal, your survival instinct is in total disarray, there is just one possible solution: run.
- A dotted line starts in the upper left quadrant, and dives down to the lower right one. It drives through fears with increasing incapacitating powers: Apprehension, Anguish, Scare, Terror. They work in pairs, in a symmetrical way.
Apprehension and Scare are fears of anticipation, with either psychic or physical causes. As a forbidding sensation increases, they each turn into Anguish and Terror when the fear becomes reality, and paralyze us each one at a specific level.
Terror is a special state. It's strong, and pure.
Are we even Human at this stage? Are we even alive? We don't dare move, we almost can't breathe, body and mind are immobilized in a shell where time, space, and most of all spirit are gone.
Without hold, references or hiding, we are naked before something unthinkable, unspeakable.
Maybe madness is the only way out …

UK told world's poorest countries need $1TRILLION in foreign aid to tackle climate change
BRITAIN has been warned that the world's poorest countries need to find $1TRILLION (£660billion) in foreign aid to tackle climate change.
David Cameron gives speech in Paris
As the pressure mounts, Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to urge businesses to do more to tackle pollution as he warns that "climate change is too large for governments alone to deal with".
Ahead of a new United Nations deal to curb global warming, predictions show that 48 least-developed countries (LDCs) in the world will cost some $93bn (£61.8bn) a year from 2020.
This includes $53.8bn (£35.8bn) annually to reduce emissions and $39.9bn (£26.5bn) to deal with more extreme weather and rising seas, according to a report from the Environment and Development (IIED).
The warning comes as more than 50 world leaders gathered in Paris today for the start of the long-awaited talks about how to tackle global warming.
World leaders gather at the Paris summit to discuss how to tackle climate change
Making finance available is one thing, but ensuring it gets to those who need it most is another
A planned protest in the French capital was cancelled in the wake of the terror attacks earlier this month, with people instead placing thousands of pairs of shoes in the city's Place de la Republique.
IIED Director Andrew Norton said the least-developed countries currently get less than a third of all international climate funding provided by wealthy governments.
In a statement, he said: "A fair and effective deal at Paris should prioritise the investment of international public climate finance for this group to implement their climate action plans, while agreeing measures to help better-off countries attract private climate finance."
The poorest countries, including Ethiopia, Zambia, Yemen and Pacific island nations - are home to some of the poorest communities who are suffering the worst impacts of intensifying droughts, floods, storms and crumbling coastlines.
Yet they produce just a tiny fraction of the planet-warming gases that drive climate change because such countries have a widespread lack of resources and expertise to tackle climate change.
But all 48 have produced so-called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) to a new global climate deal.
These plans set out how they will curb their emissions from 2020 - by shifting to renewable power sources, such as solar, or building cleaner public transport. They also outline what countries need to do to help their people live better with climate change impacts.
Prince Charle is also at the climate change summit
The Paris talks are due to clarify how rich countries will mobilise a promised $100bn (£66.5bn) per year by 2020 to help poorer nations develop cleanly, withstand climate pressures, and set out a longer-term path for climate finance.
There is growing pressure from African and other developing countries for donors to give a larger share of their money for adaptation, which has received less than a fifth of the total.
Mr Norton added: "Making finance available is one thing, but ensuring it gets to those who need it most is another."
International sources are expected to foot the bill for countries which require technology sharing to help to build their capacity, as well as investment capital.
World leaders are in Paris to discuss how to combat the effects of global warming
Despite poorer countries' clear need for funding to combat climate change, the lion's share of government finance goes to wealthier nations, the report noted.
According to the findings, Brazil, China, India, Morocco, South Africa and Turkey are receiving as much public money as all the least-developed countries together.
And of the annual $11.8bn (£7.9bn) in donor government money flowing to the least-developed countries in 2013 and 2014, the bulk $10bn (£6.67bn) went to support efforts to curb emissions.
Just $1.8bn (£1.2bn) was allocated for adapting to climate stresses, according to recent figures from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development.

I've lately found myself in the position that I'm now cooking for one – after a couple of months of living off a diet of booze, miso soup and any cake that was brought in to the office (which saw me subsequently becoming anaemic and submitting to any cold/sickness that reared its head), I'm now back forcing myself to actually bother to cook when I get in from work and to cook food that tastes great/puts nutrients in to my body.
Walking round the supermarket, I'm wracked by environmental concern as I look at prettily packaged tomatoes bursting out of the temperature controlled fresh produce isles in the middle of winter – however tomatoes are my weakness and I can JUST survive the mountain of guilt as I pluck the most overly packaged ones off the shelf and stash them in my basket, whilst furtively making sure none of my environmental charity colleagues are ready to jump out from the root vegetables and question my sustainable ethics. So yeah, that's why I'm posting this now and not in August.
I like to use the little plum cherry tomatoes, but you can use any type you fancy. If you're arsed about that sort of thing or want to really impress those people you regret inviting round to dinner, then you can get a selection of sizes and colours. Or if you live near a poncy market and not in the provinces then get your hands on some heritage ones and harp on about it on Twitter so everyone knows what a fucking foodie you are.
For the above mentioned reasons, I've given you a recipe for one portion, but it's pretty easy to scale up for as many people as you want – just make sure you use a bigger dish and make sure the tomatoes are all in one layer. This is a side dish portion, or will stir through pasta for one, if you want to make it the main event in a dish, I'd scale things up 50%.
Quick roasted tomatoes
Serves one – prep 2 mins – cook 30 mins
• Ten cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 clove of garlic, finely sliced
• Pinch of salt
• Grind of black pepper
• 1/4 tsp of thyme – dried will do
• Cooking olive oil
1. Turn your oven to 180c (fan).
2. Wash and halve your tomatoes.
3. Place the tomatoes in an oven-proof dish – make sure you choose one that the tomatoes can fit in one layer in, but that doesn't leave too much room around them. A small pyrex or ceramic dish can be picked up at Big Shop for a couple of quid and will come in handy for lots of lonely, one person meals in the future (cue small violin please...).
4. Lay your garlic slices on top of the tomatoes. Sprinkle over the salt, pepper and thyme and drizzle over a bit of olive oil – you don't want to drown it, just a drizzle to stop the garlic burning.
5. Place in the oven for about thirty minutes – check after twenty to see how it's fairing – ovens (especially old ones I don't have the money or motivation to change) can be contrary beasts, so I can tell you 30 minutes and I know you'll come back to me and gripe that it took 37.2 minutes, that's why I get you to check them. The tomatoes should be soft and just catching, but not burnt or hard.
6. Take out your tomatoes and have them as a nice side or stirred through pasta or however your creative brain/tastebuds direct you. If you're lazy and want me to suggest a whole meal to you (and it's a chance for some shameless self promotion), then eat these with slow cooked baked beans and sticky chipotle bourbon chicken. Oh and some steamed broccoli, because it stops you getting folate anaemia and I'm well up on that now.
Looks a bit minging, tastes a lot fab

Millennial co-founder Christopher Hale has a new article at Time. He writes:
To bring about this Easter revolution, Christians can't begin with political parties and ideologies and coat them with Jesus messaging. Instead, we must start with Jesus: the tortured, crucified, murdered and then resurrected Lord who disrupts all earthly kingdoms and all political agendas.
Easter is about a call to rise up and proclaim a community that will outlive all kingdoms: a community where the poor are blessed, enemies are loved, strangers are welcomed, prisoners are set free, and where death is no more.
Fr. James Martin writes:
If you don't believe in the Resurrection, you can go on living your life while perhaps admiring Jesus the man, appreciating his example and even putting into practice some of his teachings. At the same time, you can set aside those teachings that you disagree with or that make you uncomfortable—say, forgiving your enemies, praying for your persecutors, living simply or helping the poor. You can set them aside because he's just another teacher. A great one, to be sure, but just one of many.
If you believe that Jesus rose from the dead, however, everything changes. In that case, you cannot set aside any of his teachings. Because a person who rises from the grave, who demonstrates his power over death and who has definitively proven his divine authority needs to be listened to. What that person says demands a response….
What difference does Easter make in the life of the Christian? The message of Easter is, all at once, easy to understand, radical, subversive and life-changing. Easter means that nothing is impossible with God. Moreover, that life triumphs over death. Love triumphs over hatred. Hope triumphs over despair. And that suffering is not the last word.
Finally, Pope Francis shared his Easter message earlier today, saying:
Before the spiritual and moral abysses of mankind, before the chasms that open up in hearts and provoke hatred and death, only an infinite mercy can bring us salvation. Only God can fill those chasms with his love, prevent us from falling into them and help us to continue our journey together towards the land of freedom and life.
The glorious Easter message, that Jesus, who was crucified is not here but risen (cf. Mt 28:5-6), offers us the comforting assurance that the abyss of death has been bridged and, with it, all mourning, lamentation and pain (cf. Rev 21:4). The Lord, who suffered abandonment by his disciples, the burden of an unjust condemnation and shame of an ignominious death, now makes us sharers of his immortal life and enables us to see with his eyes of love and compassion those who hunger and thirst, strangers and prisoners, the marginalized and the outcast, the victims of oppression and violence….
To those in our society who have lost all hope and joy in life, to the elderly who struggle alone and feel their strength waning, to young people who seem to have no future, to all I once more address the words of the Risen One: "See, I am making all things new… To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life" (Rev 21:5-6). May this comforting message of Jesus help each of us to set out anew with greater courage to blaze trails of reconciliation with God and with all our brothers and sisters.

I know it's been a while and I know I say that everytime I post, but at least I'm consistent in my inconsistency.
Enough of that.
I stumbled across a Calvin and Hobbes strip from 15 years ago that perfectly sums up the bailout/economy situation. It's too good to pass up.
Despite all this recession, Catherine and I seem to be stable. It's kind of ironic that at one of the lowest points in the country in decades that I'm finally doing well for myself. There are only a couple of weeks left before we move into our new house and we've started the packing. I've discovered that packing is a simple, easy process, however finding a place to KEEP those packed boxes is the challenge. Catherine's side of the bed will be the next to go!

It has the star line-up. It has the cool characters. It has the devoted fan base. It even has a series of cracking trailers that have successfully roused the general public into a barely-contained lather of excitement.
But all of this has amounted to not nearly enough according to the majority of early 'Suicide Squad' reviews, which have collectively labelled the latest offering from DC Comics as messy, uninspired, and -- surprisingly -- dull.
Starring a roll-call of Hollywood's most popular actors (our own Margot Robbie and Jai Courtney among them), and directed by David Ayer ('Fury', 'End of Watch'), 'Suicide Squad' was meant to be DC Comics' answer to Marvel's 'The Avengers'... in other words, a refreshing, revamped look at a superhero world with a never-ending budget and super famous cast to boot. AKA, box office gold.
While 'Suicide Squad' may still reel in the punters (even the most scathing reviews can't undo a marketing campaign that good) early viewers are issuing a single warning to those lining up for tickets: prepare to be disappointed.
Based on the DC Comics antihero team of the same name, 'Suicide Squad' is comprised of a bunch of dangerous, incarcerated supervillains who are released from prison by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) in order to complete a top-secret mission.
The supervillains in question are namely Deadshot (Will Smith), a deadly assassin known for his marksmanship; Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) a former psychiatrist who went nuts after treating and subsequently falling in love with The Joker and Diablo (Jay Hernandez), a tattooed pyromaniac with the ability to spew flames.
There's also the Aussie thief Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney); Slipknot (Adam Beach), a rope whisperer who can 'climb anything', possessed scientist June Moon (Cara Delevingne) and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) whose name is pretty much self explanatory.
Finally, Jared Leto brings his trademark method acting process to the role of The Joker, but we'll get to more on that later.
As for what the critics have been saying?
The most damning review comes from Richard Lawson of Vanity Fair, who wrote:
Suicide Squad is bad. Not fun bad. Not redeemable bad. Not the kind of bad that is the unfortunate result of artists honorably striving for something ambitious and falling short. Suicide Squad is just bad. It's ugly and boring, a toxic combination that means the film's highly fetishized violence doesn't even have the exciting tingle of the wicked or the taboo. (Oh, how the movie wants to be both of those things.) It's simply a dull chore steeped in flaccid machismo, a shapeless, poorly edited trudge that adds some mildly appalling sexism and even a soupçon of racism to its abundant, hideously timed gun worship. But, perhaps worst of all, Suicide Squad is ultimately too shoddy and forgettable to even register as revolting. At least revolting would have been something.
Peter Travers of Rolling Stone wasn't much kinder, giving the film one star out of four and opening his review with the paragraph:
The anticipated savior of a bummer summer turns out to be a grabbag of what's been off and awful about recent comic-book epics (Captain America: Civil War excepted). Suicide Squad wussies out when it should have been down with the Dirty Dozen of DC Comics. Audiences complained that Batman v Superman was too dark and depressing. So director-writer David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury) counters with light and candy-assed. I call bullshit.
Stephanie Zacharek of TIME advises viewers to leave after Harley Quinn's entrance while The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy gave the bottom line of "all flash, no fun".
The attitudes to individual performances were generally kinder, though many noted the actors were forced to do what they could with sub-par material.
"Smith and Robbie had sparkling chemistry together in 2015's little-seen con caper Focus, and of course Viola Davis is Viola freakin' Davis, and these noble three do slog their way through the gunk of this material and occasionally find something worth playing, reflecting a tiny bit of light that dimly bathes those of us in the audience," notes Lawson, while The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw writes:
"Robbie steals the movie from most of her co-stars, but the real scene-stealer is Viola Davis, playing soberly dressed federal apparatchik Amanda Waller: it's an excellent, coolly menacing performance."
McCarthy arguably sums it up best with his observation "the result resembles a sports dream team whose combined efforts don't nearly measure up to the talents of its individual players."
And as for Leto's Joker?
Well, apparently he's not really in the movie that much.
"All that talk about Jared Leto going super-Method to play the Joker, tormenting his castmates and whatnot, has led only to a lukewarm display of villainy that, it turns out, teeters on the line between small supporting role and outright cameo. After all that, Leto's Joker is barely in the damn movie, and when he is, he's entirely underwhelming," fumes Lawson.
Peter Debruge of Variety writes "[Ayer] and Leto manage to invent a version of the Joker every bit as unsettling as the late Heath Ledger's immortal incarnation, turning the iconic Batman rival into a ruthless seducer (hunt down "Mr. Nobody" to see the origins of Leto's wicked deep-throated cackle), but the character barely has anything to do."
Says Zacharek: "Leto is so textbook twitchy that he barely comes off as menacing. And his scenes with Robbie have no spark, no lunatic ardor. If you can't strike a spark with Robbie, something's terribly wrong."
So there you have it.
While there's little doubt 'Suicide Squad' will perform at the box office, it's a shame to think what could have been a bonafide masterpiece could turn out to be a massive flop.
And in case you think we're overreacting, we'll sign off with Travers' parting words: "Forget Batman v Superman -- at least it tried. This botch job makes Fantastic Four look good."

I've had more traffic today and yesterday, I assume because of my new layout and the extra retroactive tagging I did. I'm glad you guys are still with me! I'm trying to write something new soon. However, I was informed by my mother that she was having trouble with content overlap with the new layout (which I really love)… is anyone else having this problem, and with what internet browser, if so? I use Chrome and I'm not having any issues.
[this is the kind of thing that, were I a fancy blog with my own blog Facebook page or something, wouldn't require its own post, but… alas.]

I am one of those who reluctantly switches to the latest MS versions, be it Windows of Office. I still use Office 2003 applications, and sometimes receive Word 2007 files from clients and friends. No big deal - I have downloaded the MS Office compatibility pack for Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007 file formats. When I double-click on an Word 2007 file attached to an e-mail message, Word 2003 converts it and opens it. I can open, edit and save such files in the Word 2003 file format. I presume you can do the same with Excel and PowerPoint 2007 file formats, although I have not yet tried these. Note however, that the download size is 27.5 MB for the converter, and as stated on the MS web site, it would take you 1 hour and eight minutes to download it over a 56-Kb connection! Thank God for my broadband connection.
Note also that users of the Microsoft Office XP and 2003 programs Word, Excel, or PowerPoint need to install all High-Priority updates from Microsoft Update before downloading the Compatibility Pack. Does that mean that the converter won't work if you don't download these updates? Maybe so, I don't know. I try to keep my applications updated regularly, so I had no problems in installing the compatibility pack.
Note that users of Microsoft Word 2000 or Microsoft Word 2002 need to see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925451 for information to enable Word 2007 documents to be displayed correctly in these versions of Word, if they wish to read or write documents containing complex scripts.
Have a great day!

Relic Entertainment revolutionized the way people thought RTS games could be played with Company of Heroes and since then they have continued to build on that formula with Dawn of War 2. They are now returning to the Company of Heroes franchise with a brand new game and a brand new engine specifically designed to display the brutality and insanity known as the eastern front.
Using the new Engine known as Essence Engine 3, the bitter winter that crippled the German Campaign into Russia is brought to life in a breathtaking manner. From beautiful snowy dunes and frozen lakes to raging fires and rising smoke, everything has been upgraded and improved, the game looks absolutely stunning.
Aside from looking beautiful, the snow also plays a major role in the mechanics of the game. The player is going to have to weigh the risks of using the roads for the extra speed it affords. Of course this is not a singular trade-off as units can just as easily be ambushed while off the roads and due to a lack of speed be mowed down far more easily. Company of Heroes 2 also focuses on the brutal reality of the Russian command during the war, especially Order No. 227, which said no retreat without explicit orders from the high command. This means that the use of retreat that was so easy to abuse in the original game, especially when attempting to retreat before being pinned by machine gun fire, will no longer be an option, as your units will be slaughtered by men on turrets from behind. This whole experience immediately brought to mind the iconic first scene from Enemy at the Gates.
Sightlines have also been changed to be more real to life, meaning that units no longer get a vision circle but instead get sight based on what they would have in real life. This means that what cover you use and how you approach the enemy will make a large difference in the potential success of the mission as it is a lot easier to walk into an ambush. In the demo they showed how a unit which advanced through the trees was ambushed just after leaving the forest because they weren't able to see the entrenched position until right before they were exposed.
Relic is also focusing on modifying how the vehicles play a role in the game, one of the most interesting factors is going to be the ability for either team to take over an abandoned vehicle. This will hopefully solve the late game problem of tank versus tank wars online, as having infantry to scuttle tanks or reclaim tanks will be very important. It also played an interesting dynamic in the single player demo they showed us as it demonstrated the need to be far more careful with your vehicles. The segment showed a tank trundling blindly into a village, due to the sightline change, and being taken out by an anti tank emplacement, all of the crew was taken out and due to machine gun emplacements the tank was left abandoned for the enemy to take over and repair at their leisure.
The big concern for the developers seems to be balancing the game correctly without requiring the player to be able to control 10 times the number of units and have them melt like butter in any encounter. They emphasized that while the Germans will be superior in almost every way, it will not be such a massive disparity.
Despite how beautiful and clean the game looked, it's still not due out until sometime in 2013, but it's definitely one to keep an eye on.

Canada and Hungary are both celebrating their 150th birthdays: What can each learn from the other's example?
Guest blog by Caleb Snider, Congress 2017 blogger
The Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences brings together leading thinkers, academics, researchers, policy-makers and innovators to explore some of the world's most challenging issues. Congress celebrates the vitality and quality of Canadian research contributions, and helps train the next generation of Canadian ideas leadership. This year's theme "The Next 150, on Indigenous Lands" celebrates the history, legacy and achievements of the peoples and territories that make us who we are, and anticipates the boundless opportunities of the future. Organized by the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences, this year's Congress is being hosted by Ryerson University in Toronto from May 27-June 2. Follow this series of Big Picture at #congressh blogs.
Do the nation-states of Canada and Hungary share anything beyond their modern founding in the year 1867? This was the topic up for discussion at "Nation and Narrative: Challenges Moving Forward," a panel and roundtable discussion hosted by the Hungarian Studies Association of Canada (HSAC) on May 27. Panelists Gregor Kranjc, Steve Jobbitt, Eva Kovacs, and Derakhshan Qurban-Ali presented a diverse selection of papers on subjects including the history of post-Hapsburg Hungary, the rise of Catholic Nationalism in neighbouring post-Soviet Slovenia, and contemporary Hungarian attitudes toward refugees in the current European refugee crisis.
After their presentations, the panelists opened up the discussion to include the audience, which generated some very lively discussion. When one audience member expressed sincere doubt that Canada and Hungary share anything of substance beyond the year 1867, Professor Jobbitt (Lakehead University) pointed out that the foundation (or re-foundation) of both nations have to be put into the global context of nineteenth-century imperialism: both were junior partners in a larger imperial project, and both Canada and Hungary were the subjects of nation building as a "colonial process." A detailed discussion of these similarities is missing from the literature, but it is precisely to further explore these comparisons that the panel was held.
Of special interest were the historic and contemporary attitudes toward refugees in Canada and Hungary. While Ms. Qurban-Ali (McGill University) described the dominant narrative in Hungary today that represents refugees as a threat to Hungarian national identity, the other panelists touched on the history of Hungarian refugees following the failed revolution of 1956. In response, one audience member brought up the notion that in 1956, the Canadian popular media celebrated the influx of Hungarian refugees, stating that they would "ennoble a young nation," and audience and panel alike wondered where sentiments like these are in a contemporary Canada that is supposedly so welcoming to refugees. In a popular discourse where accepting refugees is so often portrayed as an act of humanitarian charity, highlighting the good done by the host country for the refugees, where is the discussion of the good that refugees bring to their host country?
The "Nation and narrative: Challenges moving forward" panel discussion was part of the Hungarian Studies Association of Canada (HSAC) program at Congress 2017.

'Awards Chatter' Podcast — Ridley Scott ('The Martian')
"I'm in a groove now," venerated director Ridley Scott said of his career as we sat down to record this podcast last Friday, the day on which his latest film, the space-set dramedy The Martian, opened nationwide and was greeted with rave reviews en route to topping the box office with a weekend gross of $54.3 million.
The 77-year-old Brit has been making acclaimed and popular films for 38 years — films as eclectic as 1979's Alien, 1982's Blade Runner, 1991's Thelma & Louise, 2000's Gladiator and 2001's Black Hawk Down. He's been nominated for the best director Oscar three times, coming closest to winning 15 years ago, on the night Gladiator won best picture.
But it's been some time since Scott had a bona fide hit. Many were disappointed by his more recent works, such as 2008's Body of Lies, 2010's Robin Hood, 2012's Prometheus, 2013's The Counselor and 2014's Exodus: Gods and Kings. Some even began writing him off as an aging filmmaker losing touch with what once made him great. That must make the phenomenal reception for The Martian, which stars Matt Damon, all the sweeter.
(You can play the full conversation below or download it — and past episodes with the likes of Kate Winslet, Seth Rogen, Danny Boyle, Eddie Redmayne, Jason Segel, Ramin Bahrani and Michael Shannon — on iTunes.)
Over the course of our conversation, we discussed Scott's late start to directing features, his background in commercial advertising, his late brother Tony, his transition from a small feature debut to Alien, his fascination with space, Blade Runner, his history of getting great performances out of actresses, the uptick in his output that started around the turn of the century, coming to The Martian and working with Damon, the film's production scope and attitude toward science, his process of casting and working with actors, how he balances the limitless possibilities of VFX with his desire to keep his sets grounded in reality, and his feelings about the future of the world (he expects mankind to survive for only a few more decades) and his career (upcoming projects include sequels to Blade Runner and Prometheus, as well as an El Chapo biopic).
The Martian, which is being distributed in the U.S. by Fox, now is playing nationwide. Awards voters are being asked to consider the film for best picture and Scott for best director.

AFC Bournemouth – 2
Nottingham Forest – 0
Having opened the door to my house at 1am, through various convolutions in relation to the rail network, I can certainly say I've had plenty of time to think. Indeed, if I'd taken a laptop with me I could've had this nailed and got some well-deserved shut-eye instead of reliving the horrorshow I witnessed today at the Fitness First stadium.
There would be little point in detailing the match – because we were absolutely dreadful. Deservedly beaten by a not-particularly-confident looking home side who grew in stature and confidence as the game went on, and Forest seemingly dug themselves further and further into a mire of ineptitude, lack of effort and utter disregard for the fans.
Smoulds has, to all intents and purposes, lost the fans now – or a decent proportion of them. The chants directed at him at the end were the loudest I've heard so far, and given the fate of recent managers when the fans turn properly, unless he does something I don't think he's capable of, I don't think he'll last. Even the team bus had anti-Smoulderwood messages inscribed in the dirt by enraged supporters.
The sad thing is, at the start of the game we approximated four-four-two, and when Tyson had the ball at his feet and ran at the Bournemouth defence, they looked scared witless. Alas, the infuriting tinkering saw a quick reversion to the ineffective 'Smoulderwood Formation' and we lost all impetus very early, and Bournemouth capitalised with two excellently taken goals in the first half.
Kuffour gave us an early warning by spannering a shot wide from 12 yards, another followed when Vokes headed and Smith saved well. Their left winger had the freedom of the park as Chambers was hopelessly out of position, or easily bypassed (he seemed not to work out the chap was right footed, and always looked to get onto his right foot to cross).
Sure enough, it was a cross from Gradel that gave them the lead – Wilson had let Vokes get enough space in the box to plant a header well beyond Smith into the top corner. The second goal came shortly after, Holt lost the ball, and Wilson again was given the slip by Vokes who finished emphatically across Smith and into the corner.
It really should have been three-nil at half time too – Gradel once again beat Chambers easily and ambled into the penalty area, with Morgan and Wilson backing off giving him a completely free route to goal. Fortunately his composure let him down and the shot from a fairly generous angle was well over the bar.
Our only shot on target in the entire game was a weak header from Wes Morgan in the second half. Really, that's about all in terms of match action there is worthy of description from our point of view. We were really as bad as people are probably suggestion in other reports or on the messageboards.
I have a few general observations, though, on a player-by-player basis – which I don't normally do too much. Smoulders is (rightly, in my opinion) getting a lot of flack of late, but today I do think the majority of the players also let us down with a lack of composure, and often – alarmingly – a lack of effort reminiscent of the Megson era of dreadful away results.
Paul Smith – couldn't really prevent either goal, made a save when needed – his distribution wasn't awesome, but when our defenders don't seek the roll-out, he can't do it, despite the baying from some of our less-than-patient supporters.
Kelvin Wilson – normally he's peerless, but was arguably at fault for both goals, nothing like his usual assured self – which worries me deeply because before now he's generally been Mr Dependable even when those around him are failing us.
Wes Morgan – one of the few to emerge with credit, of course, he was clumsy at times, but that's Wes. Ended up up front in spells, and got our only shot on target with a weak header. Guilty of backing off criminally shortly before half time, but I suppose if he hadn't the winger would've squared the ball to a striker who would've scored.
Luke Chambers – awful awful game. Poor positional play, made a monkey of by the Bournemouth winger time and time again – it is becoming increasingly apparent that this lad is NOT a fullback, alas I can't imagine Smoulderwood will ever notice this.
Julian Bennett – provided the most amusing bit of the game by performing a Ronaldo-esque flick in order to win a goalkick. Over-engineered, certainly, but a rare moment of pleasure for Forest fans after a long trip. Plenty of passion, occasional decent play, a lot of headless-chickening too.
James Perch – a frankly dire performance, sadly. Whatever confidence this lad had must be shot to pieces now, nothing went right for him today, and Smoulds should've withdrawn him as it must have been torture. What a shame we let Lennon go, eh? Poor though he was, the look on his face when – upon applauding the Forest fans at the end – the booing raised an octave, was heartbreaking.
Sammy Clingan – won a few balls in midfield, ran around a lot – not a lot he was able to do with absolutely fuck all support from many of his colleagues. His passing wasn't the best, but deserves some credit for effort.
Chris Cohen – quiet first half, attempted to take the second half by the scruff of the neck, only for his final ball to really let him down on all but one occasion.
Arron Davies – a moment with Davies epitomised the game for me, he got the ball on the left and was forced to turn back and dribble about 30 yards into our own half. He got away from his man eventually, but in this time not ONE of his teammates did anything useful to make it easier for him to retain the ball. Otherwise played out of position mostly, and mostly fairly anonymous.
Grant Holt – started okay in an upfront position, won flick ons (to noone, of course, as they were all in midfield!), then descended into his petulant self sadly, and put in a pretty poor showing where he seemingly successfully undertook a one man mission to lose the ball as much as possible.
Nathan Tyson – worked hard, but looks low on confidence – his first touch was often abysmal. Looked a threat early doors with the ball at his feet, latterly dealt manfully with hopeless long balls punted to him, but with very little actual impact. It must have been a frustrating afternoon. Arguably got away without being dismissed after a late lunge on Warren Cummings, who treated the away end to a spectacular display of playacting to try to bring about the red card.
Emile Sinclair – looks eager, but inexperienced. Never looked capable of changing the game, but with the limited substitution options available was a sensible addition for the increasingly hapless Holt.
Ian Breckin – brought on as an emergency striker, laughably – although the few touches he had were surprisingly okay, particularly the time he had the ball on the deck. Too little time on the pitch to make an impact, so can't be judged harshly on today's showing.
Given that our stated ambition for the season is promotion or nothing, and given that I cannot envisage Smoulders delivering this, I find myself reluctantly siding with those who would welcome his removal from the helm. Part of me thinks that he should get 'til the end of the season – since sacking a manager now is unlikely to achieve much, given the lack of transfer opportunities, and the message it sends out to how tough the job is.
On the flip side, the impetus that you can get with a new manager could be enough to restore our promotion hopes – given that some other results went in our favour today – and of course, having somebody who will pick our best players in a sensible formation, in their proper positions, would be a huge help in achieving results.
With no disrespect to Bournemouth, who ran out deserved winners today, Forest shouldn't be making things so difficult for themselves in games like this. If you had told a neutral that this was a game between 23rd and 3rd (or whatever our starting positions were), then they would have assumed that Bournemouth were the promotion chasers, and would have marvelled that there was actually a team in the league worse than Forest.
I found myself questioning the endorsement of removing the manager, then looked at the fixtures – can you really see us picking up points on forthcoming away trips to Leeds and Carlisle? No? Neither can I – that's why with Smoulderwood at the helm I cannot see us attaining promotion this season. Depressing, eh?
Sorry, that turned into quite a long rant.

Brethren, it is an ancient edochian saying of the peoples of South Easteros that when an anaconda encountereth a talking drum, the drummer should not be surprised when the anaconda transformeth into a dancing python.
It may be recalled, as was written in the Chronicle of the Frabanian Sabbath of the Ipobusites, that Car Knoo, chief priest of the Ipobusites was held in the dungeons against the orders of the magistrates until the enclavement of King Gambrach.
Yea, did the magistrates command Car Knoo upon his release, "Ye shall refrain from Ipobusinian proclamations and public address until the end of thy charge. Go ye and STFU in thy house."
And lo, when Car Knoo reached his house, an ocean of new acolytes awaited him, brimming with Ipobusinian fervour. "What is this?" Car Knoo asked his head disciple. "Holy One," the disciple called him for the very first time, "thy people are gathered here for thy benediction."
"For reals?" asked Car Knoo
"Hell, yeah" said his disciple.
And so Car Knoo raised both fists in the air and a spark akin to an electrical charge rippled through the assembly. "My people! I bless thee – in the name of the Joo Kwoo, the Frabania and the Car Knoo!"
The people cheered loudly and Car Knoo never hesperred what happened next, for a crack of lightning rent the skies, the heavens opened and a pillar of light burst forth onto Car Knoo. And behold, as the light faded, Car Knoo was transformed before the eyes of all who stood there. He no longer wore pants, but was draped in a cloth bearing the insignia of zion. His hand was no longer clenched – No! For what was once a fist had been transformed into a hand holding the sacred fan of the half sun. Yea, was his head no longer bare; he now wore the feathered red cap of edochenian wisdom. In that moment, Car Knoo heard a voice of greater authority than the magistrate that set him free.
"Ngwanu, thou are now too much!" exclaimed the disciple.
"That is, ehn!" replied Car Knoo.
Twas as Car Knoo basked in the novelty of his supernatural endowment that Gambrach returned from Jandinia and suffered Pestilencio Ekutensis. And word came to Gambrach that Car Knoo was no longer in the dungeons.
"For reals?" asked Gambrach.
"Let it not trouble you, Sire" said Gar Bar. "Instead, delight yourself on the exploits of the Sporting Eagles of the Kingdom as they do battle with the fake lion cubs of Mer Roon."
Yea, as Gambrach observed the sporting hostilities through his medium viewing prism, Moborius inner-bahyoured and captured the image of the moment. When Gar Bar viewed the image, he was overcome with Lovengious emotion and burst into scroll, "Oh what a King! He chooses to view life through a simple, narrow prism, unlike many before him. Blessed am I to be his scribe. Behold, ye peoples, ye are blessed to have him as King."
But the people paid Gar Bar no mind. For in South Easteros, the voice of Car Knoo was growing louder and yea did more people swear fealty to him. Daily he preached to the people, "Repent, for Frabania is at hand. Yea, shall we build a new Frabania – in our hearts and then on this soil. Behold, any South Easterosi who would put himself under the authority of a non- South Easterosi is very uncustard – yea is he even a bastard!"
The Kings and Wardens of South Easteros knew not what to do. Electoralis was due in Nambia, where the viagranian King Willy had been working hard, and surely Car Knoo could be controlled to bring his people to their side, they thought.
Alas, Car Knoo grew in irreverance, antagonising the entire Kingdom as he sought to build his new Frabania. The Young Rewanian Northerosi men declared irratatum and announced that no South Easterosi was to remain in that part of the Kingdom. The Kings of Northerosi moved quickly to quell the rising disquiet, but Gambrach (former man of Gunn) had had enough. He summoned the generals of his armies.
"Dudes. Car Knoo. Ye shall resolve this crisis."
"Sire, pardon our impudence, but has the constabulary been deployed?"
"Walahi, he pisseth me off" said Gambrach.
"Sire, the law of the land is that we can only be deployed against insurrection. What shall we tell the people if we march into South Easteros?"
"Ye shall tell them that ye bring healing and deliverance unto their lands" replied Gambrach.
"Like the physicians of yore?" asked the Generals.
"Yes! In fact, ye shall name your march after the symbol of the physicians."
"Aye, sire! We see it now. We shall call our march 'the march of the waltzing python'."
Behold, the army began their march and there was a rumble across the land. The people protested, for the kingdom was not at war and they feared for their lives. "Chill, yo! We come in peace. We are only a Waltzing Python, bringing healing against kidnapping and violence."
But there was no gaddem chill. For the Haramite tribe of Boko was still a scourge in the Northerosi part of the country. And news spread of followers of Car Knoo being put to the sword.
"No, no, no!" the people cried. "Stop it! Leave us!" Owen Brett Hart, scribe to the King of Abbiah cried daily in Social Mediana, "the Kings of Easterosi will keep the peace. Why continuest thou to march, o armies of Gambrach?"
"But we come in peace, like the pythons on the physicians' staff" the armies maintained, as Ipobusinians fell away. Behold, Car Knoo was nowhere to be seen.
The people cried for the King to answer them and return chill to the land. "Oh Gambrach, king of justice, speak to us, tell us every little thing's gonna be alright."
Yea, did Gambrach hear thy cry. "Gar Bar, Callamitus!" he called out to his scribes, "tell the coachmen to ready the winged chariot."
"Are we flying into the heartland to address the people?" they asked Gambrach.
"Hell, no! We are flying to Trumpstantinople and then, all this noise of the people bringeth back my Many Years Disease affliction, as well as the mysterious and secret affliction which must not be named. We shall stop briefly in Jandinia and see the meisters before I return."
And when the people heard again of yet another Jandinian sojourn, they lost it. And there was no gaddem chill in the land.

Mild weather harsh for business
Retailers say lack of cold weather hurts sales
The mild winter is beginning to take a bite out of businesses that depend on cold and snow.
At Laacke and Joys, they're stocked with plenty of coats. The problem is no one has needed them yet.
Paul Barbour is a good example of how the lack of snow and mild conditions has taken a bite out of the local economy.
"It's frustrating when you can't use the stuff you've bought to get out and enjoy the winter," Barbour said.
Store manager Matt Geib said the cross-country skis aren't getting much attention at Wheel and Sprocket in Delafield.
"Yes, I'm scared of the forecast," Geib said.
Geib said the only thing that is selling are snow bikes that can be ridden without snow.
"December is the biggest part of our winter business, so we would like it to snow today, but the forecast is not going to help us out," Geib said.
"We're not selling the bigger down-insulated coats usually as well as we have in the past," Ron Klement said.
At Laacke and Joys, snow and cold is money in the bank, so a lack of them can raise concerns.
"We're getting close to the panic point. Our biggest season, as well as all the local ski hills is coming into Christmas, if we don't have the cold by December (or) the first of the year, it's going to be a tough season for us," Klement said.
The snow-making machines sit idle at Lapham Peak State Park in Delafield, where thousands of cross-country skiers come each winter, It was the same last winter.
"We encountered similar weather conditions, but we were able to improvise, adapt and overcome. We're certainly hopeful to do that again this year. We just need Mother Nature to cooperate for a few days," Lapham Peak Property Manager Brett Johanen said.
Milwaukee extended its record Thursday with the 284th day without measurable snow, and the city is less than two weeks away from setting a record for the latest first snow, which is Dec. 26, 1888.

News Filed Under Women for Agriculture
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Mississippi women who want to grow their farm and agribusiness skills are invited to an upcoming conference in Starkville.
"Small Farm Success in a Global Market," the 2020 conference of the Mississippi Women for Agriculture organization, will be held March 6 and 7 in the Bost Extension Center on the Mississippi State University campus. Mississippi Women for Agriculture is organized through the MSU Extension Service and provides information and education to help female agribusiness employees and owners build skills.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- The volunteer efforts of Dr. Carla Huston have helped veterinarians and animal rescuers in Mississippi save and treat hundreds of livestock and pets after disasters.
An associate professor with the Mississippi State University College of Veterinary Medicine, Huston is a member of the Mississippi Animal Response Team and oversees the Mississippi Animal Disaster Relief Fund. As the MSU Extension Service veterinarian, she works with veterinary practitioners and Extension agents across the state to keep animals healthy.
INDIANOLA, Miss. -- Learning how to show pigs in 4-H livestock competitions made a leader out of Sarah Thomas Smith.
Smith, 17, is a junior at Indianola Academy in Sunflower County, Mississippi. She has been an active member of the Sunflower County Livestock 4-H club since 2010.
In three days, Teresa Dyess shifted her business focus from produce to poultry.
The change began two years ago with an offhand remark from her husband, Joe Dyess.
"He told a broiler grower in Wayne County we wouldn't mind building pullet houses because we wanted to diversify our farm," she said. "We didn't think any more about it, and then the next day a poultry processor called and offered us a contract. A banker came the next day, and everything fell into place."
Lanette Crocker, coordinator for the MSU Extension Service in Wayne County, said Teresa Dyess' adaptability has helped her maintain success through the farm's transition.
Wouldn't it be nice if entering a Mississippi State University classroom solved every midlife crisis?
At age 52, Sylvia Clark found herself at a crossroad as she reflected on her life as a small business owner and caregiver for her family. Reared on a Webster County farm, Clark married shortly after earning an associate's degree and settled into her role as the wife of a Vardaman sweet potato farmer. Eventually, their children were grown and their parents no longer needed her care. With the support of her family, Clark enrolled at MSU in 2006 to finish her formal education in agriculture and extension education.
PICAYUNE, Miss. -- What was once a Grade A dairy farm for more than 20 years now serves as the flower farm owned by Terri Doyle and her husband, Dave.
Located on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Coastal Ridge Farm offers fresh bouquets that can be found at Rouse's Markets in the New Orleans area and on the coast from May to November.
"The dairy industry had been getting tougher every year for small dairies," Terri Doyle explained. "When Hurricane Katrina hit and destroyed a lot of our property, Dave and I decided it was time to close the dairy."
BEAUMONT, Miss. -- For 16 years, Christine Coker has been doing what she loves: putting food on people's tables.
"In college, I really liked the study of plants, but I knew I wasn't going to be the world's greatest botanist," she said. "What I really wanted to do was feed people."

Providing expertise and knowledge to Mississippi dairy producers was not always a career goal for dairy specialist Amanda Stone.
Stone has been an assistant professor since August 2016 with the Mississippi State University Extension Service in the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences, where she works directly with students, dairy producers and MSU Extension agents.
HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Lida McDowell taught science and math for 30 years at the high school and university levels, and she keeps finding ways to educate while enjoying an interest she had no time to pursue until retirement.
The raised-bed vegetable gardens she and church friend Karen Walker maintain year-round serve as a classroom for a young audience at Thames Elementary School in Hattiesburg.
"What we're trying to do is get the kids to enjoy nature, be outside and appreciate where their food comes from," McDowell said.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Natasha Haynes has never lived or worked on a farm, but her professional career with the Mississippi State University Extension Service circles around agriculture just the same.
Haynes is an Extension agent in Hinds County and host of "The Food Factor," the weekly video feature produced by the MSU Extension Service. She grew up in Jackson and earned a bachelor's degree in family and consumer sciences from Alcorn State University.
CLARKSDALE, Miss. -- Almost 200 years after Mississippi became a state, residents may find it difficult to imagine a time when women could not be Extension agricultural agents. That time was right up until the late 1990s when Ann Fulcher Ruscoe became the "county agent" for Coahoma County.
"Most entry level jobs for the Extension Service involved 4-H responsibilities. That's how I started in 1980 in Bolivar County," Ruscoe said. "Eventually, 4-H agents would usually become home economists if they were women or county agents if they were men."
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- When poultry science began receiving academic attention, women were the first poultry husbandry faculty. They were housed in the home economics departments of land-grant universities, a carryover from the days when women kept chickens at home for eggs and meat.
Eventually, universities created poultry science departments, populated mostly by men.
Today, Mary Beck, head of the Department of Poultry Science at Mississippi State University since 2012, makes her mark in a field dominated by men.
CEDAR BLUFF, Miss. -- Ali Fratesi Pinion may be part of the millennial generation, but she farms more like her great-grandparents.
Pinion and her husband, Dustin, operate Beaverdam Farms in Clay County on the principle that healthy soils create better foods and communities. The Pinions have modeled their farm after a successful project in Virginia that emphasizes building up the soil, capturing carbons and feeding local communities.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Many people in the agricultural world complain that consumers do not understand what farmers do, but few of them are willing to dedicate their careers to a solution.
Jessica Smith, a senior at Mississippi State University, grew up on a farm in south Mississippi and is majoring in agricultural communications because she sees education as a key element in changing how her peers perceive something as basic as where their food comes from.
STARKVILLE, Miss. -- Dawn Morgan's father was an organic gardener before organic was cool, but for years she preferred a more manicured yard and the practices that entailed.
Then she began reading about the decline of bee colonies and remembered her dad's orchard and garden buzzing with pollinators.
"Dad kept bees but in a very primitive way," she said. "No bee suit, no smoker, never used herbicides or pesticides. He did everything naturally."

LOUIN, Miss. -- For one Jasper County 4-H member, a junior livestock show career has come full circle.
Lacie Winn, 18, has competed in 4-H livestock shows across the state since 2006. The youth development program is managed by the Mississippi State University Extension Service and open to youngsters from 5-18 years of age.
HOLLANDALE, Miss. -- Marjan de Regt and her husband, Jan, planned to spend three years farming in the Mississippi Delta before returning to their native Netherlands.
That was 29 years ago, and the family still calls Hollandale home.
The de Regts farmed 2,600 acres of soybeans, 500 acres of rice and 200 acres of corn in 2016. This year was only the third time they tried corn.
VARDAMAN, Miss. -- After 30 years behind a desk, Jan Cook Houston has returned to her first love and her second career, this time seated on a tractor pulling a sweet potato digger.
"Growing up here, I never thought farming was an option for a woman," Houston said. "Dad didn't expect me to farm, but he knew I could."
Houston returned to her roots in 2009, a year that lives in infamy for growers in the heart of Mississippi's sweet potato country.
CADARETTA, Miss. -- A 325-acre farm in northwest Webster County has never been owned by anyone but a Pittman.
Fran Pittman has designs on keeping it that way.
She and her husband, Alfred Pittman, have operated Pittman Farms -- part of which includes the land they refer to as "The Old Home Place" -- since they married in 1974.
ROLLING FORK, Miss. -- Mindy Rutherford devotes her days to the family's expanding Rolling Fork farm.
A former teacher, she left the classroom 11 years ago to focus full time on the row crop farm's administrative duties and to help manage the first beef cattle herd she and her husband, Bill, bought. They are continuing a legacy begun by Bill Rutherford's father in 1971.
"I always heard that if you are passionate about what you do, you never work a day in your life. It's true, and that's how I feel about the farm," Mindy Rutherford said.

A healthy man was licked by his dog. He was dead within weeksThursday, November 28th, 2019
The 63-year-old man showed up in the hospital with a burning sensation in his left leg and muscle pain in both legs. His flu-like symptoms were severe, with laboured breathing for three days. He had petechiae, or rounds spots on the skin that look like rashes as a result of bleeding capillaries, which made his legs look discoloured.
The patient's heartbeat was stable, doctors said, even though he was running a temperature of 38.8 degrees. His laboured breathing caused an inadequate supply of oxygen to his tissue. His failing kidneys were not producing urine, researchers wrote.
But doctors had no idea what was wrong with him. He had not recently been in the hospital. They suspected some kind of bacteria, but he didn't have any open wounds and he didn't have meningitis.
It wasn't until his fourth day in the hospital that a blood test revealed that the man had a type of bacteria found in the saliva of healthy dogs and cats. It's a kind of bacteria that's usually only transmitted to humans if they are bitten.
But the German man is dead because his dog licked him.
