"I'm still a special girl."
Evelyn is a sweet, shy four-year-old girl that loves princesses. The best way to get her interested in a conversation is to mention the word "princess," and without fail, her face will light up like a Christmas Tree! She was diagnosed with stage 2 Wilms' Tumor at three years old after her dad noticed a large bump sticking out under her left rib cage. At a time when she should have just been enjoying childhood, Evelyn spent six months in and out of the hospital undergoing chemotherapy, with ongoing followup doctor visits.
Evelyn made an extremely quick decision that her one true wish would be to go to Disney World and visit the princesses. So, in November 2013 Evelyn's wish was granted. Evelyn, her mother, father, and her best friend joined her in a week-long vacation to Disney World. She glowed the entire trip, completely fascinated with all of the princesses she was able to meet. Evelyn's favorite part was when they were able to visit the Bippity Boppity Boutique, where Evelyn and her best friend were able to become princesses in a magical beauty salon.
After a long and stressful year, this Disney vacation was truly an incredible time that let Evelyn's family forget the stress that accompanied the tumor.

My other half is a bird ringer, and he is trapping and ringing birds which come to our bird feeders in the garden. Ringing birds and then re-catching them helps us to understand what is happening to birds in the places they live and how this affects population increases and decreases. It also gives information on the movements individual birds make and how long they live for. I used to be a ringer too, and although I no longer have a permit, I still help out.
We catch blue tits, great tits, coal tits, robins, thrushes, chaffinches, greenfinches, and a few others. Below are a few of my favourites, starting with the goldfinch. We catch a lot of these!
We catch a fair few siskin, a delicate little bird that is rarely seen in most gardens, but will come in to feeders in the middle of winter.
Nuthatches come in occasionally, grab a seed and fly straight off, so you have to be quick to see them on the feeders.
Occasionally a sparrowhawk will swoop through the garden, and all the birds scarper immediately! And last week, the male just happened to swoop straight into our net, which is a first for this garden. Isn't he super?

An open letter to all Europhiles
Summary The EU must develop an effective core precisely in order to avoid further fragmentation. In the end, its success could be the necessary draw to induce member states to reconstruct a more cohesive continent.
This "letter" was first published as an EPIN-commentary, February 2017.
Sauve que peut, in the hope that you will then have a chance to save the EU later.
Denmark's new foreign minister Anders Samuelsen (Liberal Alliance) goes under the label 'eurosceptic' in a country that already sports opt-outs from the euro, defence and justice and home affairs. He champions a 'different EU policy', one that will probably bring to an end his country's decade-long pledge to be as close to the EU-core as possible.
Still, Donald Trump's advisors should not put Denmark on their list of countries most likely to withdraw from the Union.
Samuelsen will not cut ties to the EU. That would be political suicide in a continental country of 5.7 million people, 75% of whom agree that Denmark is better off inside, rather than outside the EU. Besides, Samuelsen is convinced that the EU is 'a necessity'.
Earlier this month he set out his EU-vision in the daily Politiken. Samuelsen wants a strong but lean EU, one that is reformed (unspecified, but you can be sure Danish demands include welfare restrictions for EU migrants) and focused on 'core business'.
Core business, as seen through a pair of red and white glasses, is only really certain to mean trade and the environment. Non-core business, judging from the persistent opt-outs and political mood, could mean Schengen, closer economic union, defence and perhaps even justice and home affairs (Samuelsen personally advocated giving a 'no' to justice cooperation in a December 2015 referendum) – precisely what many other EU countries today consider core business.
We have yet to see if Denmark will adopt a recalcitrant approach to negotiations in Brussels as part of Samuelsen's divergent EU politics. But even if we don't, Brexit has fuelled strong voices in every corner of the continent who insist on putting the brakes on integration to stop migration, end austerity, keep their countries safe, empower citizens, reverse the train of globalisation, etc. It will always be 'brake time' somewhere in the EU of 2017 – but, despite Trump's gut feeling, the member states are unlikely to throw in the towel. If nothing else, the EU survives precisely because it is 'a necessity' to many countries.
If this seems like a sad state of affairs to Europhiles, it could even be a threat to the Union. Sticking together out of necessity is never the best strategy for a healthy relationship, and it is the last thing the EU needs to exit crisis mode.
If member states appear to be keeping their seat at the table just to say no, then please, Europhiles, throw in the towel yourselves. Stop indulging in nostalgia and embrace a true multispeed Europe. The willing and the able – which may only be a handful of the original six and a few others – must move ahead and develop the attractive economic and political union that the EU was on track to become two decades ago, and that a majority of Europeans have backed all along. Call it enhanced cooperation if you wish, but the bar, the room for manoeuvre and the level of ambition must be high. The consequence of failing to take action now is to passively witness the EU slide down a slippery slope to oblivion.
Among the willing, simple but firm criteria (to include public support) will decide which countries qualify for membership and which have yet to introduce reforms.
Among the able, tough political decisions will have to be taken.
While the EU of the willing and able get the chance to prove that closer cooperation is indeed worthwhile, the EU of the 27 would continue at a pace that respects the resistance to supranational integration manifested in several countries.
As to the willing and unable, and the able and unwilling, they will be equally anxious about a new core, but today's union would still be there – and perhaps there could even be a place for the United Kingdom somewhere in a multi-tier Europe? And who knows, public opinion may somehow get this better than the relentless search for the lowest common denominator that risks becoming the dominant feature of a big, yet meagre, union. The EU must develop an effective core precisely in order to avoid further fragmentation. In the end, its success could be the necessary draw to induce member states to reconstruct a more cohesive continent.
As for Denmark, once again, to be in or not to be in, that is the question… Looking at the continued high public support for the EU, however, it is perhaps one that should be directed primarily at the increasing number of politicians whose pronouncements are beginning to sound more eurosceptic than those of their electorate.
To conclude, therefore, with a word of caution from the President of the European Council:
"The challenges currently facing the European Union are more dangerous than ever before in the time since the signature of the Treaty of Rome. (…) [One] threat is the state of mind of the pro-European elites. A decline of faith in political integration, submission to populist arguments as well as doubt in the fundamental values of liberal democracy are all increasingly visible."
(From: "United we stand, divided we fall": letter by President Donald Tusk to the 27 EU heads of state or government on the future of the EU before the Malta summit, 31 January 2017.)

One of the best things in this world is when you manage to convince people you are doing them a favor but in actuality this kindness comes from a place of self interest.
"Your legs look so pretty in heels" really means "Those freaking Uggs were searing my corneas and if I had to look at them for one more moment I might have vomitted".
Or when I say "You should totally go on a date with him; he seems like a great guy!" what I am really getting at is "If I have to entertain your sorry, pathetic ass for another Friday night I may shoot myself."
And "Let me make us all dinner before we go out" is my special way of saying "You need some food in your system because I sure as hell am not going to be the one to hold your hair back in about 4 hours."
Really, it is all about me.
Last Friday, before the blogger happy hour, I had Maxie and Deutlich over and I told them I would treat them to some food while we threw back. Now , I did want to feed the girls–this is what a gracious host does and at my core I am a nurture caretaker–but I would being lying if I was trying to lay a good foundation for them. They seemed ready for a good time– a very good time– and I didn't want any nonsense on my hands.
The happy hour that night was a blast even if Arjewtino picked the worst spot in the place and I spent the sum of the evening freezing in my teeny, tiny dress. (I know some of you might be thinking, "She should have dressed more appropriately" to which I counter "Clearly, we have not met".) I want to thank all of you for coming out and I am sorry if I was not entirely on top of my game. My brain was frozen. It was a pleasure meeting all of you…really.
This is the dinner I made for the lovely ladies before me and my breasts braved the arctic chill of Marvin. Aren't you just a little but jealous? Hell, I made it and I think I deserve a slap on the ass for this one. I pasted a recipe below from Emeril that is perfect to work from; it does reflect most of the changes I made. I am going to say it; I think this adapted recipe is better than Emeril's. I, perhaps, kicked it up a notch? I added basil to the recipe (the original didn't call for it), messed with the proportions and removed a lot of the liquid. I like a thicker, heartier sauce and I see no need for beef broth in this so I took it out. I didn't really measure anything–from the carrots, to the wine, down to the garlic–but that is the perfect thing about this recipe…it is pretty fool proof. Before anyone asks…no, there is no way to "lighten this up". I just don't think it would be anywhere near as good with ground turkey or soy crumbles or without the bacon. Yes, I said it…I think the bacon makes a big difference here; it adds a depth of flavor and a smokiness that is essential. Just eat a salad the next day, hop on the treadmill, and do your best to embrace the temporary jiggle this will add to your wiggle. It is worth it. This was kick ass good and I can not encourage you more to try this for yourself; you, your guests and God him/herself will be so happy.
So, yes, we were full, happy and no one puked. It was a win for everyone.
Classic Bolognese
Adapted from Emeril Lagasse
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces bacon or pancetta, diced (I just used four strips)
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
3/4 cup diced carrots
3/4 cup diced celery
1 tablespoon minced garlic (a couple cloves)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1.5 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can crushed tomatoes and their juice
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup heavy cream ( I used fat free half and half)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
Pasta…I like fettucine…
In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring, until browned and the fat is rendered, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook, stirring, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper, bay leaves, thyme, oregano, basil, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the beef and cook, stirring, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring, to deglaze the pan and remove any browned bits sticking to the bottom of the pan, and until half of the liquid is evaporated, about 2 minutes.
Add the tomatoes and their juices, the tomato sauce, and sugar and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, to keep the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pan, until the sauce is thickened and flavorful, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the cream and butter stir well, and simmer for 2 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning, to taste. Remove from the heat and cover to keep warm until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return the water to a low boil. Cook, stirring occasionally to prevent the noodles from sticking, until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain in a colander.
Add the pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and toss to blend. Divide among pasta bowls and serve with the cheese passed tableside.

Kankakee was to be the site of a rather ambitious project to build three tracks at a facilty outside of Kankakee, Illinois. By April 1997, the project was apparently dead. A copy of the initial press release from November 1996 appears under Historical Note below.
Last Updated: 1997-04-27
KANKAKEE, Ill. (AP, Nov 7, 1996 - 22:30 EST) -- A giant three-track auto racing complex with seating for 180,000 will be built here by four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt and a private group for $150 million, state officials said late Thursday.
Kankakee Mayor Don Green called a Friday morning news conference with Illinois Secretary of State George Ryan to announce the project, which will occupy 600 acres of land east of Interstate 57, Ryan spokesman Dave Urbanek said.
Green could not be reached for comment.
The racing complex would have a 1.5-mile oval track with seating for 120,000, including 100 skyboxes, Urbanek said. Plans also call for a 1-mile oval with seating for 50,000 and a quarter-mile drag strip with a grandstand for 10,000, he said.
Foyt's group would like groundbreaking to begin within two months, so racing on the 1.5-mile track could begin next year, Urbanek said.
Ryan, a Kankakee resident, said the state is not helping to finance the complex. He offered personally to help the project get some state help, such as infrastucture improvements, for example, he said.
"I'm going there to support the mayor and tell him we'll do what we can if he needs the help," Ryan said.
Added Urbanek: "For projects like this, the city probably will go to the state to request money for infrastructure, utilities, road improvements, things like that."
Kankakee officials expect the racing complex project to provide hundreds of jobs for the area, Urbanek said.

It also reached out to the White House's National Economic Council, which makes sense as the company recently poached the council's chief of staff Marne Levine to be its vice president of global public policy.It reported that its top priorities included federal privacy regulation, restrictions on Internet access by foreign governments and net neutrality. Facebook also focused on regulation and reporting requirements around the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.It also focused on the modernization of the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, which was last revised more than two decades ago in 1986 and governs how privacy protections are given to wireless and online communications. The company recently banded together with Google, Amazon and other big consumer Internet companies to form a Digital Due Process coalition to offer some ideas for how to update the bill.

Firing at seals urged to protect penguins
By Rebecca Brice
Firing lead-filled beanbags at fur seals is the latest idea suggested to help protect vulnerable penguins at Kangaroo Island in South Australia.
The island's Penguin Centre says it could help discourage seals from entering penguin habitats and eating them.
But the SA Environment Department is not supporting the idea.
Despite their name, the area's New Zealand fur seals are native to Australia and a protected species.
But some residents of Kangaroo Island, south of Adelaide, believe the seals are causing the decline in penguin numbers.
John Ayliffe runs the KI Penguin Centre and says in recent weeks about five penguins have been taken by seals in the Kingscote area.
"The increase in New Zealand fur seals has led to the rapid decline of penguin numbers in the area because the New Zealand fur seals are eating them," he said.
"There was a very strong colony at Cape Gantheaume. The New Zealand fur seals started breeding there and ate all the penguins and eventually the penguin will become locally extinct around Kangaroo Island and the southern Fleurieu [Peninsula] area."
Mr Ayliffe wants a new method tried to tackle the seals, shooting beanbags at the fur seals as a deterrent.
"The beanbags are simply kevlar bags full of lead shot and they're discharged by a shotgun," he explained.
"Now because the lead shot is in a kevlar bag, it hits the seal like a punch and it will not penetrate the skin provided it's fired from sensible distances.
"Now seals are very smart and they move away from an area if disturbed."
The idea has been raised with the state Environment Department, but it has issued this statement as a response.
"Interactions between New Zealand fur seals and penguins are a natural phenomenon over which humans have little control.
"New Zealand fur seals are native to Australia and New Zealand, including Kangaroo Island waters, and the population is only now recovering from commercial sealing."
Tim Kelly of the Conservation Council said he could understand the view of the tourism interests on the island.
"I can understand the frustration of the penguin tourist operators on Kangaroo Island wanting to do something to increase the numbers of the penguins, however, I guess we still have concerns about the state of the population of the seals," he said.
"The New Zealand fur seals are endemic to Australia. Their numbers were decimated in the 1800s with approximately 100,000 animals taken off the island.
"Their numbers are now about 25,000 and increasing, which we think is a good thing."
Other threats
Mr Kelly says other threats to the penguins need to be taken into account.
"Things like dog attacks that have occurred in the past, things like nest predation is another potential problem," he said.
"We need to make sure that those things aren't continuing and aren't happening.
"Now that may not change the outcome that the natural population of penguin colonies might be much smaller."
For his part, Mr Ayliffe thinks the seals are not only endangering penguin numbers, but also other species such as cuttlefish and King George whiting.
He is among locals of KI who are keen to see the seals culled.
"You have to appreciate that Phillip Island (in Victoria) has about a million people doing a penguin tour each year, it costs each person about $200 to do that tour by the time they stay overnight and pay for meals and things," he said.
"We know that we have a better tour when the penguins are here than Phillip Island and from the state's economy and the tourist industry on Kangaroo Island this is a really necessary attraction because there are no penguins in the northern hemisphere."

Bird tour taking flight in Lakeside
The Lakeside River Park Conservancy next month will hold the first of three bird tours led by retired San Diego State biology professor Gail Sabbadini.
The two-hour guided hike from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, March 2, will cover of much of the Lakeside part of the San Diego River along the trail, which is nearly three-fourths of a mile one way. It is an easy, level trail that runs just north of the river on donated land.
The tour, free to the public, is part of the River Park's 2013 Education Program. Registration is needed by Feb. 27. Another Sabbadini-led bird tour is scheduled from 9 to 11 a.m. on Friday, March 29; reservations are needed by March 28.
Sabbadini, a resident of Lakeside for more than 35 years, will identify year-round and migratory species. Some of the birds that frequent the area include the greater roadrunner, red-tailed hawk, red-winged blackbird and osprey. She led three of the walks last year and class sizes varied from 15 to 25.
"They'll see 25 to 30 different species of birds," Sabbadini said. "I love to get people out of doors and get them to appreciate nature, habitat and renewal. By introducing them to some of the species around them, I hope this will encourage people to appreciate them more and to become caretakers of the environment."
Project Wildlife will offer a presentation about raptors after the tour.
The Lakeside conservancy is dedicated to the restoration of the San Diego River in Lakeside, from El Capitan Dam to the Santee border. Founded in 2001, it works to preserve and restore the biological integrity of the San Diego River by offering recreational, educational and cultural opportunities.
To register, send an email with your name and number in your party to the River Park's Cindy Collins at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The group also is offering education opportunities regarding bats, bees, bugs, California native plants, composting and more this year. Visit the conservancy's website at lakesideriverpark.org/ for more information.

About The Artist
Yannima Tommy Watson was born at Anamarapiti, circa 1935 approximately 40 kilometres west of the small community of Irrunytju which is situated in Western Australia near the tri-state border of Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory . Whilst growing up Tommy learned to appreciate the significance of social organization and the spiritual and tribal law teachings of his ancestors.
His work is rich in the awareness of the topographical land forms of his country and the Tjukurrpa law that underlies it. He paints the stories of his mothers and grandfather's country recounting the sacred dreamtime stories spontaneous using large vibrant colorful dots of pinks, burgundy, orange and reds to highlight the dreamtime journeys of the ancient spirits and important events in the history of his ancestors.
Tommy's most important dream time stories refer to the Great Flood Dreaming, a story of the melting ice that flooded the lands north of the Great Australian Bight. Other stories relate to Pangkalangku, tall man eaters from the north east and also of the tribal disputes between the Pitjantjatjarra and the Yankunyatjarra.
His paintings are widely exhibited both nationally and internationally and in many important private collections. Today he is recognized as being one of Australia's most famous indigenous painters. He was commissioned in 2005 to produce artwork to be permanently installed in the Musee du Quai Branly in Paris, France, which opened in 2006. The painting Wipu rockhole (2006) was enlarged and reproduced on stainless steel tiles which adorn a ceiling within the museum.

After a great campaign in 2017, Darien girls soccer looks to continue success
Recommended Video:
The 2017 campaign was something of a dream season for the Darien Blue Wave girls soccer team.
After going 11-2-3 during the regular season, the Wave rebounded from a first-round knockout in the FCIAC tournament, and won three of four games in the CIAC Class LL playoffs. That run included perhaps the program's biggest victory ever, as Darien knocked off top-ranked and undefeated Suffield 1-0 in the quarterfinals, scoring one of just three goals allowed by Suffield all season.
The Wave's bid for a berth in the final ended with a 3-2 loss to Staples in the semifinals, but the year was certainly a winner for Darien.
Now, the Wave and head coach Leigh Parsons will be looking to build on that success, while overcoming the graduation of 14 seniors.
"Some might consider this a rebuilding year," said Parsons, "but, with hard work and dedication from the players and coaches, this team should get back to where we need to be. If everything clicks, we have the talent to give other teams problems."
Leading the way are the team's four senior co-captains, all of whom played key roles in last year's run.
Captains Anna Fox and Eva Finn will star on defense, while fellow captains Lauren Sulger and Eilanna Dolan will be featured in the midfield.
Those four leaders will try to help the Wave deal with the graduation of a large senior class that included defender Emily DeNunzio, the first Darien player ever to earn a spot in the High School All-American game. DeNunzio is now playing at Colgate.
Also graduated are goalie Christine Fiore and forward Katie Ramsay, who are playing lacrosse at the US Naval Academy and USC, respectively.
While those departures and others are hard to overcome, the Wave still boasts a large senior class of 15 players who will now get their chance to write their own story.
Among those are a pair of forward/midfielders in Ellen Harnisch and Nathalie Bravo.
Seniors on defense include Caroline Orphanos, a goalkeeper, along with Anna Sapio, Annie Arrix, Olivia Yoo, and Sophia Cortellesi.
The midfield corps of seniors includes Elizabeth Corney, Lily Kosnik and Cameron Appley, with Taylor Richards up top at forward. Parsons also expects contributions from freshmen midfielders Maggie Ramsey and Shea Dolce.
The FCIAC schedule is a minefield of great teams which includes the St. Joseph Cadets and their All-American midfielder Jessica Mazo, along with perennial contenders such as Staples, Ridgefield, Warde, Trumbull and Wilton.
The Wave opens the season at Bridgeport Central on Friday, and Darien's first big test will come on Tuesday night, Sept. 11, when it plays the Eagles at Trumbull High School starting at 5:30 p.m.
Wilton and Ridgefield are on deck for late September, and a showdown with rival New Canaan and a rematch with state semifinal rematch with Staples loom in back-to-back games on Oct. 9 and 11.

Support for independent Scotland is fading fast
Scots are increasingly turning their backs on Alex Salmond's dream of independence with support for leaving the UK plunging, an exclusive opinion poll for The Times reveals today.
The Ipsos MORI poll of 1,000 Scots, the first to be published since Monday's independence referendum agreement between Mr Salmond and David Cameron, shows that support for independence now stands at 30 per cent among those Scots certain to vote, down from 35 per cent in June and 39 per cent at the end of January.
Support for the Union, however, is on a consistent upward trend and now stands at 58 per cent, 3 percentage points higher than June and eight points above January. Twelve per cent of Scots are undecided, two points higher than June.

MU symposium focuses on health and medicine
COLUMBIA - A branch of genetics called epigenetics focuses on how our genetic material is changed based on our own experiences, and even the experiences of our parents before we are born.
A symposium at the Bond Life Sciences Center on the MU campus will run from Friday until Sunday. Speakers are scheduled address research in epigenetics and how recent studies may affect health and medicine in the future.
Some of the topics of research have looked at linking epigenetics to conditions like autism or cancer. One researcher even studied mice and found food the father eats may have an affect on his offsprings' metabolism. Much of the research focused on common habits and how they change how our genes are expressed.
"Things we use in everyday life, so things like personal care products, pharmaceuticals, also things like pesticides that we might use inside the home," symposium co-chair Susan Nagel said. "Chemicals are a real source of concern."
But, Nagel and Life Sciences director Mary Shenk both said environmental factors and genes aren't everything.
"Genes are a part of it, but you've got all these other things that can affect us," Shenk said.
The symposium is free and open to the public. Attendees are encouraged to register in advance here.

Justice for Girls Trial to Commence
by: Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish on March 16th, 2017 | Comments Off
Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish will be in Jerusalem March 12 – April 3 to testify at the Israeli court concerning the loss of his beloved daughters and niece. The hearing will start March 15; he is expected to testify March 15, 19, 29 and April 2.
All who can come and witness the civil trial at the court in Beersheba are encouraged to attend.
Information below comes from several press releases about this issue. The releases seek to increase awareness and promote the cause among politicians, human rights advocates, and people who care about justice and women and women's education.
As part of Israel's Operation Cast Lead that began in late December 2008, tank shells killed three daughters and a niece of Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish and severely wounded other family members.
Since this tragedy, Dr. Abuelaish has worked hard to promote reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. Following his relocation to Canada, he told his story in his book I Shall Not Hate: A Gaza Doctor's Journey on the Road to Peace and Human Dignity.
In 2010 Dr. Abuelaish commenced a civil action involving the Israeli government seeking a formal apology and compensation for the deaths. The trial will be heard in March 2017 in Israel and any funds awarded as a result will be directed to the Daughters for Life Foundation, a registered Canadian charity established in memory of the deceased girls.
A petition also asks the government of Canada send a letter to the government of Israel supporting Dr. Abuelaish's lawsuit.
Izzeldin Abuelaish is Associate Professor of Global Health at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto
He is a Palestinian Canadian physician, teacher and an internationally recognized human rights and inspirational peace activist devoted to advancing health and education opportunities for women and girls in the Middle East. He is known as the "Gaza Doctor" who has dedicated his life to using health as a vehicle for peace.

The words below were written by my son, Garrett Able, and shared on his Facebook page. I like what he had to say. I believe he's a wise young man.
The words below were written by my son, Garrett Able, and shared on his Facebook page. I like what he had to say. I believe he's a wise young man.
Eons ago, when I was still in my teens, a friend and I walked out of the Fulton County Stadium on a sweltering Atlanta night and came face to face with a "begger". Up to that moment, we had been goofing around: laughing, singing, having fun watching the Braves lose another one. The frivolity of the evening ended when I encountered homelessness for the first time. Prior to that summer night, I had been naive enough to believe everyone went home to a warm dinner and a comfy bed. And then this man approached us, "Excuse me, can you spare some change? I'm homeless. I'm hungry." The look of him…the painful pleading in his expression, the desperation in his quivering voice, his dirty, wrinkled clothing…stopped me in my tracks. I wanted to make his life better but felt helpless to do so. A lump lodged in my throat as I reached for the fifty cents in my pocket, "This is all I have, I'm sorry", I said. "Thank you, ma'am. Bless you," he said.
My friend grabbed my arm and pulled me away. "Why did you do that? Why did you give him your money? I can't believe you fell for his trick. He's just here to get people to feel sorry for him. He has the same opportunity everyone else has, all he has to do is get out and get a job but he doesn't want to work. It's easier for him to beg than it is for him to go to a job every day".
On the drive home, my friend and I had a heated discussion about poverty and opportunity. We didn't see eye to eye on the subjects.
Later than night, cool, dry and tucked safely beneath my covers, I cried for the man we had encountered outside the stadium. I couldn't get his face out of my mind. His skin had the ashen look of poor nutrition, his eyes were hollow from hunger. I knew he didn't live that way by choice. No one does.
I'm ashamed to say, I haven't done much to help the homeless over the years. Donations and food drives have been the extent of my giving and service. But I know someone who has done so much more. Vitelle Webb's life and work is an inspiration to all who know her. She has written a play about her own personal experience with homelessness. The Face of Homeless will be onstage in Atlanta this coming August 3, 2013. Vitelle is also the founder of the Feed the Homeless Tour. Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with Vitelle. Here's what she told me….
The Face of Homeless is my life and experience, portrayed on stage. It is also the stories of a few other lives as well as real life situations that have been experienced by many. The show exposes various circumstances involving homelessness. My hope is the stories of our characters, Gary, Violet, Shelia, Mark and the others will help people to understand that homelessness can happen to anyone. Too many people have a stereotype of what they think homelessness is; a preconceived idea of who the homeless are. People think of the homeless as being an old man digging through a trash can and asking for change to get a beer. Our hope is this stage production will reveal the truth about who the homeless are. With our show, we hope to encourage people who are going through or have gone through similar situations as well as bring awareness to the community of what homelessness really consists of and that it exists in our own backyards.
The Feed the Homeless Tour is a non-profit organization I founded seven years ago to help meet the basic needs of the homless from state to state. We provide such things as food, clothing and hygiene items. We assist people with finding jobs and housing and connect them with other organizations that may be able to help them based on specific needs. We never turn down someone in need due to a lack of identification or age and gender. We strive to end homelessness and have done so for many people!
Our stage production, The Face of Homeless, is one of many fundraising efforts to support Feed the Homeless Tour goals. It is our first stage production and we anticipate many more. After our Atlanta area premier on August 3, 2013 we will travel the country bringing this production to all fifty states, helping the homeless of each state we visit.
Tickets can be purchased at: http://www.FaceofHomeless.eventbrite.com
Note to Vitelle,
I want to thank you for what you're doing to help others. God gave you a big heart and a willingness to sacrifice your time for your brothers and sisters. You are living proof that we can take our life experiences, both positive and negative, and use it to benefit others.
I wish you much joy and success as you continue your journey.

Everything itches. And before you start…no its not lice, or anything else lice-like. I'm assuming its not the sometimes fatal rash side effects of my new mood stabilizer. That really would be the ultimate mood stabilizer though…I mean she was feeling pretty bad but look at her now…I can do anything and she doesn't get upset. (Imagine picture of dead body being poked by vintage yard stick.)
The night of gratitude has come and gone. Family and friends and food. Lara and I created an amazing new cocktail- the ginger snap. Just ask her whats in it because I am lost already at the main ingredient (snap- some sort of grain alcohol that tastes good) plus ginger, plus lemon, plus seltzer. I guess I do remember. So if you know what snap is, and have it on hand mix those things in equal parts and add a ginger candy.
I've found the best ginger candy is the one with the cartoon ginger guy who is giggling as he breaks off bits of himself to eat. Perhaps he needs a mood stabilizer. That sounds like an unlikely response to self-canibilization. Even if you are a sugar coated candy version of a root.
Our thanksgiving party ranged from 8 months to 87 years and we all had iPhones. Except the 8 month old. I mean, I gave him an iPhone but he only cared about the box. That last part was absolutely true if you substitute "set of wooden cars" for iPhone.
But from age 7- 87 (like an invisible ink book) we all had iPhones.
So we had something to talk about. I introduced the 13 year old to pet rescue. As far as I can tell she is stylish, practices violin even on holiday, and writes critical essays for fun. If she can't peel off some time to calm the nerves of shaking turtles and fish I don't know who can. Not me obviously. I am inventing cocktails.
It was a lovely holiday. So much food. The only real disappointment was that one of the guest dogs came really really close to killing my peeing cat. I know that would have been a downer for many of the guests but it would have solved a pretty big dilemna for Steve and I. So right after the close call of caticide we took to the table. There were even good vegetables. Have I mentioned how good the food was. Two turkeys (deep fried and roasted) two stuffings (bagged and hand cut from Vergennes laundry baguette) squash and sweet potato and regular potato and cauliflower with cheese sauce (in a good way) and kale salad and three kinds of cranberry brightener. The only casualty other than the almost cat was the gluten free quiche which I (whoops) left in the warming drawer. The hazards of the well equipped kitchen. Some of the dishes were warmed on the fire. We remembered those.
Any time the event is an eating event I feel remarkably well prepared. I remember last year, before I gave up facebook, (that is only like one hour old that news so don't feel bad if you are reading it here first.) I posted a picture of my beautifully set Thanksgiving table with the caption. "My whole life has been training for this moment." Most comments interpreted that as a nod to my table setting prowess. In fact it was not. It was in reference to my eating ability.
Here I am pausing wondering if going into facebook to get a screen shot of that picture from my timeline counts as giving up facebook. What kind of break am I taking? What is my motivation for this break?
Dunno. On average I feel a lot more annoyance with the links and status updates and images that I see there than I do affection. Affection may be an unreasonably high bar until I remember that facebook is supposed to be communication between friends. I have been pretty slutty on facebook. So I don't care what 2/3 of my friends are up to. (Of course I don't mean YOU.) Thinking about the path in to get that picture I realize I don't want to go there. Facebook and I are having a break. I'm sure we will get back together soon.
Goodbye links of unlikely animal friends
Goodbye pictures of your cat
Goodbye questions about getting a baby to sleep
Goodbye airport check ins pushed from foursquare.
I will miss you.
In the meantime I will have more time to scratch my itch (es.) And if one of you wants to dig through my timeline to grab that Thanksgiving photo and email it to me that would be great.
But then again none of you will know that I have even written this, because I am not going to promote it on facebook.
Isn't life an itch?

Interesting, was control surface flutter the cause of the "in-flight structural failure", before the Crash? Please

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Cathy Ringot and Kathy Cook didn't know each other 25 years ago, when both women decided to gamble their futures, sight unseen, on Salt Lake City and jobs at Delta Air Lines' new reservations call center.
Ringot was a Delta reservation agent living in San Francisco with her husband. Cook was a single mom in Atlanta with a 5-year-old daughter. She was an agent, too.
A quarter-century later, as they and 628 fellow employees mark the SLC call center's silver anniversary, Ringot and Cook swear that uprooting their lives to move with Delta to Utah was the best career and life choice they could have made.
"I just thought that it would be exciting to be in a new office and would provide a great career opportunity," Ringot, who rose through the call center's ranks to become assistant director, said Friday. "I love it here. I've never second-guessed my decision."
Cook was promoted to supervisor when she moved. Today, she's a manager.
"I truly love Utah," said Cook, whose daughter, now 30, gave her mother a grandchild last year. "It was a great place to raise my daughter and was a great opportunity."
The call center on Salt Lake City International Airport's north side is one of 14 reservation and customer-service centers that Delta has around the world. Kelly Marchant, who started at the center in 1990 and became director a few months ago, doesn't think it's politic to crow too loudly about its reputation inside Delta. But, based on the lines of business that have been assigned to it reservation agents serve Delta's highest-value business and discretionary customers the center is "among the top," she said.
One measure of its value to Delta is how much revenue the center produces for the world's second-largest airline. Last year, Salt Lake City accounted for $318 million of close to $2 billion generated by the 14 centers worldwide, spokesman Russell Cason said. No other center produced more.
Cason said he didn't know what the call center's payroll is, so it's hard to estimate its importance to Utah's economy. But Delta's role is significant. The airport serves as Delta's westernmost hub. Total employment is 3,450 workers, including 600 or so pilots. Many, such as Ringot and Cook, are transplants from other states.
Located next to an enormous Delta aircraft maintenance hangar, the building housing the center is owned by the airline on land leased from the airport.

Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to research possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin architecture provides an informative example of how one might make lots of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an astonishing intellectual and technical achievement, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very lucrative business models made accessible as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It should be difficult to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having small gains is more profitable than attempting to fight up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to have a look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there is more volatility and compensation in currencies that haven't made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz.

Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they take part in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence that a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in a appeal against companies with deceptive practices. Since among the oldest forms of earning money is in money financing, it truly is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you happen to be required fill in a captcha after a certain time frame and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for seeing them. You can see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to locate some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy. Bitcoin is the main cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, global, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there is no authorities, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. As such, it is more immune to crazy inflation and tainted banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and seclusion can easily be realized by just being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. This mining action validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something illegal, it is not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see eternally. When searching on the internet forSell 0 01 Capricoin, there are many things to consider.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Sell 0 01 Capricoin. Many people choose to use a money deflation, especially those that want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Monetary solitude, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living pay check to pay check, it would happen included in your riches, with the rest allowed for other currencies. You've probably seen this many times where you typically spread the good word about crypto. "It is not risky? What goes on when the price failures? " sofar, several POS devices gives free conversion of fiat, relieving some matter, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, many people is going to be hesitant to keep any. We have to find a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is basically crucial that you comprehend that there is a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we understand them now where Governments and banks can only choose to print unlimited quantities (I am not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the various nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that provide long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have agreements with suppliers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the info to stream without interruption, in the correct location at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is taking place to determine how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs consent from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to connect to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts in position and service level agreements, which govern the way in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused firm. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated supporter badge of honour, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent difficulties to the user. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too fast, there may be some issues. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow drastically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business which could lead to business being unable to continue to operate or to discontinue operation.

In case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it could possibly be exchanged being a thing. Promoters of cryptocurrencies proclaim that kind of electronic money is not manipulated with a fundamental bank system and it is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a restricted quantity of items, this coinis value is founded on market forces, enabling homeowners to trade over cryptocurrency transactions. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others happen to be designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers assert that there is "real" worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time which is worth an ever declining amount of money or some type of wages in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin includes many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, which is part of the block that gave rise to it. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file saved on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of trades dwells.
The fact that there is little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal attempts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It is also possible the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its consequences, anticipating any developments to act. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of nature of the protocol where it's transacted. All deals on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When youare paid, you get paid. This isn't something temporary where your visitors can challenge or demand a refunds, or use illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, many professionals could be wise to make use of a fee processor, because of the permanent nature of crypto-currency purchases, you need to ensure that stability is hard. With any form of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your individual secrets and therefore grab your money. Unfortunately, you probably will never have it back. It is vitally important for you yourself to follow some great safe and sound routines when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this can guard you from most of these damaging events.

Pregnancy Update:
Well, here we are with only less than 5 weeks to go until we meet this baby boy! I'm excited, to say the least, but I still don't feel completely ready. Just yesterday I started thinking about what I should pack for the hospital. I grabbed a cute robe at Target, but I'm thinking I need some new slippers and we definitely need to shop yet for a newborn outfit to take him home! I have outfits and hand me downs from Judah, but I want to pick out something special just for him coming home. Suggestions??
And, really, what else should I pack for the hospital? I can't remember what I brought with me when I had Judah. I know it was more than enough, though, and I could've packed a little lighter. 🙂
I've also been spooked by the idea lately that we have another child to take care of this time during our hospital stay. With no family nearby and being fairly new to the area, we need to make arrangements soon on who will watch Judah for us. I'm really praying I don't go into labor right smack in the middle of the night so we can avoid waking anyone up. Don't get me wrong, we do have wonderful friends here already that I know will be more than happy and willing to help us, but really, who wants to be woken up in the wee hours for anything?? ha!
We are also going to follow your advice on going to Build-a-Bear to make a teddy bear gift for the baby from Judah. Hopefully this week! He still shows signs of being very excited for his baby brother's arrival. I hope he still feels like this when we actually bring the baby home!
Funny story: Last week, a couple came over to our house to buy our coffee table off Craigslist. They arrived carrying their baby in an infant carrier. Judah ran to the door and yelled "Mommy! Baby Wally came! Baby Wally came!!" (He named our baby Wally, after Wall-E the movie. That is not his real name, though!) It was so sweet to see him so excited, but at the same time it broke my heart to have to tell him, "No, Judah. That's not your baby brother. He's not here yet." Sweet boy!!
In my last pregnancy update, I listed a few things that we needed to get done yet. Out of that list, we have accomplished a few things. Judah's room is just about done. We built his bookshelves and now I am waiting on his bedding that I recently decided to splurge on a little. It arrives this week and will complete his room. Yay!
The nursery still needs decorations hung and shelving of sorts. Still trying to figure that one out. I did order my stroller that I'm also hoping arrives this week! More on that later, but let me tell you I'm thrilled with my choice without even testing it out yet. And, you all helped me with my decisions, so thank you!!
And, since you all are so great with your suggestions, here's what I'd love to hear from you next:
- I'm in desperate need of a glider/rocker for the nursery. As much as I love the Pottery Barn ones, they are not in our budget. So, tell me, what do you recommend? I want padding, comfort, and to be able to rest my head back (so it can't be too short).
- Baby swing – recommend one? Not needed? We have the room in our house, so that's not an issue as it was for when Judah was a baby. But, again, our budget is not huge.
- Needing a new bouncer. To be honest, I haven't even researched these yet at all. So, load me up with your recs!
I'm really depending on you, friends! I know I have a lot of readers here who are experienced moms with great taste. 🙂
This Week On Seeded at the Table:
This section highlights the recipes posted recently on Seeded at the Table and other updates to the blog, if any.
Here's what we made since the last Saturday Seeds post:
Strawberry Pretzel Dessert – Great for company or potlucks, this dessert is a strawberry delight worth sharing!
Thai Chicken Pizza – A sweet yet spicy Asian sauce, combined with fresh vegetables and herbs, makes this a favorite in our pizza rotation!
Cadbury Creme Egg Scones – Cadbury Creme Eggs, for breakfast.
Loving Lately:
Here I will share with you my favorite things of late, along with other snippets that have caught my eye from some of my favorite blogs and websites.
Method Bathroom Cleaner – In a previous post, I mentioned that I love Method's all-purpose spray cleaner in French Lavender Scent. The same day I picked that up for the first time, I also picked up Method's bathroom cleaner. After using it for a few months now, I can genuinely say that I love it. It's non-toxic, but actually cleans and SMELLS fresh. There are so many non-toxic or "greener" products that leave no pleasant smell or even an unpleasant fragrance. This tub and tile cleaner wins all categories for me.
Snoogle Total Body Pillow – If you are pregnant and having trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position, get this pillow now! 🙂 I got this early on in my pregnancy and have used it every night. My sleep is so much better since I got it. There were a few trips where I forgot to bring this with me which resulted in horrible rest. It is my life saver. You might think it's pretty expensive, but in my very humble opinion, it's worth every penny. (Although, I bought mine with a gift card.) 😉 It doesn't take up as much room as it appears. We do have a king size bed, but I even used it on a full size while traveling and it was great.
Maybelline ExpertWear Eye Shadow – I am one of those people that wishes I was good with make up and colors. When I want to wear multiple shades of eye shadow, I need help. In college, my best friend (who also took the pregnancy photos above) was pretty much my make-up artist, stylist, image consultant, etc. 🙂 She lives 6-7 hours away now, so that doesn't help me! That's why I was ecstatic to find this affordable Maybelline eye shadow that I've been using for probably half a year now. It is labeled to tell me where I should apply each shade of color, leaving me no guess work.
My Life as a Professor's Wife, Mom, Christian and Food Blogger:
Want more insight into my life as a Professor's wife, mom, Christian, friend, relative and food blogger? Then, read on! If not, ignore this section. 🙂 This is a place for me to write what is on my mind and journal some of the crowning moments of my week.
Let's see, what did we do this week? A whole lot of nothin'! All three of us have been taking our turns being sick. Yuck. Judah started us off with a great 3 year check up appointment, then the two days later developed a fever and cough that lasted for a few days. (I swear he picked it up at the doctor's office.) Ben had either a stomach bug or food poisoning. And, now we both have colds and coughs.
But, before the sickness settled in, we did get to take Judah to a local Easter Egg Hunt last Saturday. (And, in fact, while I'm typing this he's on his way to another one with his visiting Nana and Papa!) I seriously get a kick out of these Easter egg hunts where they basically have hundreds of eggs just thrown around the park lawn, not hidden at all. The kids love it!
We also managed to finish Judah's book shelves as I mentioned above. I'd like to share a DIY step-by-step of it. Is that something you'd be interested in? I would probably have Ben write the post since he's the one who built them. I just painted them (FIVE coats!)
What are your Easter plans? This year will be different for us as we now meet for church service on Saturday nights for our new church plant. Since we have only been meeting for a couple of months and our church is still small, we do not have a normal Easter service planned. Actually, it will be a normal weekly service while we still focus on Christ's resurrection. But, really, we should talk about the Resurrection more than once a year anyway, right? That's why I love this church so much. We actually do focus on it every week.
Ben's parents are in town, so we got to have a little date night last night while Judah stayed home and dyed Easter eggs with Nana. I plan to use those eggs for Italian Easter Bread this Sunday. Have you made it yet? SO yummy!

Cross-posting from another project blog, sadly 24th April 2015 marks the centenary of the death of Erasmus, one of Darwin's grandsons, in the trenches of WW1. You can read more of his story on the blog post below:
WW1 Remembered in stamps
The WW1 centenary has been widely marked by the issue of stamps and online exhibitions:
A fantastic and massive KS1 – KS3 teaching resource to download http://teacherspost.co.uk/the-last-post/
A fact picked up from Horrible Histories is confirmed on the Postal Heritage website, that the Post Office installed one of the largest temporary wooden buildings in the world at the time. It was in Regent's Park, next to the ZSL London Zoo where Drawin once strode, to handle forces mail, within the sound of monkey whoops and wolf howls:
With the onset of trench warfare, all mails bound for troops on the Western Front were sorted at the London Home Depot by the end of 1914. Covering five acres of Regents Park, this was said to be the largest wooden structure in the world employing over 2,500 mostly female staff by 1918. During the war the Home Depot handled a staggering 2 billion letters and 114 million parcels (Postal Heritage website, First World War section)
The wartime postal service is mentioned in this BBC article:
The Post Office even had its own regiment, The Post Office Rifles. A 2015 Royal Mail pack of stamps pack commemorates the Post Office Rifles on the centenary of their arrival in France on 18th March 1915.
The 8th (City of London) Battalion, The London Regiment (Post Office Rifles) lost 1,800 killed and 4,500 men wounded by the end of the War.
Remembered …
