The Penny Drop is a new café at the base of the ATO building in Melbourne’s Box Hill. The Art Deco aesthetic is contemporary vintage in a cleverly designed space of pale timber, terrazzo and metal.
Curved features abound as the interior designers, Kylie Dorotic and Alicia McKinnnon from We Are Huntly, took design cues from coins. Being the ATO building, The Penny Drop came from the idea that coins may slip through ‘cracks’ in the floor and drop to the floor below. Thus a design direction was born.
Our beautiful #906 Brushed Copper metal can be seen as a trim curved around these delineating walls
That Metal Company provided the beautiful copper that accentuate the curves of the server as well as low curved walls that delineate spaces. The warmth of the #906 Brushed Copper works in harmony with the pale pink and grey décor. It makes a statement without being ‘in your face’.
In fact, there are curved features everywhere; along the servery counter, around walls, circular mirrors, dividing screens, and even the semi-circular layout of the bar area. The #906 Brushed Copper is also reflected in the copper pendant lights, copper dipped mirrors, the copper bases of the bathroom basins, and the stone, peach and copper terrazzo.
Proving that you don’t need large sheets of metal to make an impact, The Penny Drop is a beautiful example of earthy glamour and elegant functionality. All the interior elements have been finely thought-out and intricately planned. The brand identity was a collaboration between We Are Huntly and graphic design studio Pop & Pac. The result is a clever concept brought to life by design, materials, layout… and we’d like to think, our metals.
We are always thrilled to be asked to put forward our ideas. Being specified never loses it’s magic as each new project is a revelation. Architects, designers, and joiners all have a unique perspective on our metal finishes, which is exciting for us.
It’s also exciting to have this project presented in prestigious Australian interiors and design magazine, Artichoke. You’ll find us in Issue 56.

Following up last week’s nostalgia trip is the last ten albums of 1994 that really stir up memories for me. This part of the list made me a little misty eyed again thinking about life and death. Thinking about mortality really gets to me sometimes and it’s been a hard week for me personally.
For years now, I have barely listened to music. Had anybody suggested such a thing to me when I was 20, I would have yelled “But music is my life!” and considered swearing at them, but things changed. I had kids. They are loud. I longed for moments of complete silence. I started working for […]
What a great year 1994 was for music. Once again, I’ve found it nearly impossible to limit myself to just ten great songs and have instead picked fifteen while still leaving out so many that I hope we’ll talk about in the comments. Let’s start with some more pop tracks and finish with the rock […]

Note: Review originally posted June 6, 1999
How refreshing to play an adventure game that does not take place in outer space or some other make-believe world, does not contain any horror or fantasy elements, and is actually rooted in reality. Not that we do not appreciate all types of adventure settings, but it seems that very few are situated in a real-life atmosphere. Wild Wild West: The Steel Assassin, if you have not already guessed, is based on the 1999 Warner Brothers movie starring Will Smith and Kevin Kline. The movie was in turn a spin-off from the irreverent television series that aired from 1965 to 1970. Now, before you get your dingleberries in an uproar and begin to bellow, "But the movie was a flop!" rest assured that even though the James West and Artemus Gordon characters have been recreated from their movie counterparts, the game is closer in spirit to the original television series. Yet, as dismal sales records have proven, basing a game on any filmed medium is a risky proposition at best (i.e., Men in Black, Congo), and more often than not the game is scorned by the buying public. Can WWW break this trend and score a bull's-eye, or is it another crossover title shooting blanks?
(A Just Adventure factoid: As everyone knows, before Nintendo became known for Mario and Zelda, it was Japan's leading manufacturer of playing cards. It seems SouthPeak also has similar roots. Before it became a leading producer of games like Dark Side of the Moon and Temujin, SouthPeak manufactured cork bottle openers in the mid 1800s, but the machines were so convoluted to use and were often missing so many parts that the company soon went bankrupt, only to reemerge a century later as SouthPeak Interactive. For further confirmation, see the front desk in the Surratt House scene.)
The Steel Assassin takes place a few months after the events of the movie. You must take on the role of either James T. West (Will Smith) or Artemus Gordon (Kevin Kline). President Grant has asked for your assistance from an assassination conspiracy set to be staged at the infamous Ford's Theater--five years to the day from Abraham Lincoln's murder. The game is broken into 10 segments--four each that can only be played as West or Gordon, and a finale and epilogue in which both characters finally team up. West follows the five-year-old trail of John Wilkes Booth, President Lincoln's assassin, as he suspects that Booth had a partner (Oliver Stone writing for SouthPeak!), and Gordon slinks about the Baltimore wharf and Ford's Theater as he searches for clues that will link a suspicious murder to the threat on President Grant's life. The rousing finale reunites the two Secret Service men in a race against time. SouthPeak's writers (and designers) have done an excellent job of bringing the 1870s to life and are to be commended for their accurate portrayal of that era. This faithful recreation allowed us to immerse ourselves fully into the game. But the story left me wanting more--there were never any startling revelations or plot twists; it felt like an episode of the television show minus the commercial breaks. Play a chapter as West with a concluding shoot-out, play a chapter as Gordon with a life-threatening puzzle. Some subplots indigenous to the social issues of that period or more than just a reference to the graft and corruption that was rampant in Grant's term would have been welcome. What story we do have is fine, but seems to be more aperitif than entree. Grade for plot: C+.
WWW is billed as an action/adventure game, but is more of an old-school, point-and-click adventure game than any product currently on the market. Artemus Gordon is the brains of the duo. Die-hard adventure gamers will have a field day as Artemus dons disguises, deciphers messages, and investigates clues. The gameplay is very similar to such classics as Sherlock Holmes & The Rose Tattoo. Conversations with other characters provide hints, and relevant information is automatically recorded in your notebook. The amount of leads provided is dependent upon the game's difficulty level. In what may be a first, SouthPeak has allowed the gamer the option of changing the difficulty level on the fly. If you are stuck on a particularly hard puzzle or gun battle, you may customize the game to your preference for just one scene or the entire episode. Did I say gun battle? Well, this is, after all, a western, and James West is the quick-on-the-trigger-finger member of the duo. There will be times when gunplay is necessary, but there are also numerous occasions (and SouthPeak is to be congratulated for this) when a shoot-out can be avoided if you are alert and study the surrounding area. Sandbags and oil slicks, if used correctly, can be just as deadly as a bullet. The majority of the puzzles do involve items that are indigenous to the period--cannonballs, spittoons, etc. They are, for the most part, fair in their conception, but there is a chessboard puzzle that should have been left on the cutting board. The action sequences, especially the shoot-outs, are enjoyable, but as is often the case when a game attempts to be everything for everyone, there are two sequences--a water chase and a sword duel--that feel stilted and unwelcome. Overall, highly recommended for puzzle lovers--grade B+.
The graphics for WWW are 3D models against 2D backgrounds rendered in a process SouthPeak calls SoftImage. The result is crisp and often stunning images. This is one of the few games where the animation for the gameplay itself is superior to the cutscenes. The cutscenes are occasionally blocky, especially after playing Outcast and Nocturne, and the lack of lip-synching is frustrating--even more so if you turn on the closed captioning, for then the captions on the screen are always at least three sentences ahead of the actual conversation. The entire game is conveniently mouse-driven, and the characters are very responsive and detailed. Some of the outdoor locations are stunning. The Wanderer, the train that serves as a meeting place between missions for the agents, is extremely detailed. Besides housing weapons and gadgets, Gordon's disguises and laboratory are on board, and everything is at your disposal. Immersive graphics are always a huge plus: B.
WWW wisely uses the movie's Elmer Bernstein score in the game. Bernstein is an Oscar winner, and his music is universally acclaimed. It is catchy and toe-tapping to say the least (and, no, before you ask, Will Smith's rap version of the theme song is not in the game). SouthPeak has implemented DirectMusic technology into the game, whereby the music will change mood, tempo, etc., depending on what's happening in the game. Movie westerns such as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly have employed this to their advantage, and it is encouraging to see game developers applying these multimedia tactics. Though the main characters strongly resemble their movie counterparts, their voices are done by Andre Ware (West) and Jim Ward (Gordon). Ward has the stronger lines and even had me laughing a few times (as did a memorable tribute to Return to Zork). Sound effects are passable; occasional explosions and gunfights are just not as noisy as they should be. Two sounds in particular are memorable: the jingling of West's spurs (though this sound should have been toned down when West was in sneak mode) and the leather pouch that West uses to store his supplies. Grade for music and sound effects: B.
In the final analysis, Wild Wild West: The Steel Assassin is fun. It was fun riding a horse, it was fun participating in an Old West shoot-out, and it was fun playing a game that has some historical basis. It ships on two CDs, one for install and one for gameplay, and it also contains a great preview of 20,000 Leagues. Sequels would be welcome but are probably a moot point unless the game is an unqualified success on its own accord. SouthPeak has taken a novel approach to marketing by including a trailer of the game and a rebate coupon with the Wild Wild West video release. Let's hope this approach succeeds and convinces other companies to utilize unorthodox methods to market their adventure products. Until next time, keep your six-shooter dry, watch out for that tumbleweed, and happy trails.

Ten million kroner pledged to assist new fathers in Denmark
Danish fathers have more time than anyone to spend with their newborns. The problem is they don’t know what to do.
Nordea to the rescue
Such is the concern of the Nordea Foundation, which recently allocated 10 million kroner to its ‘Father for Life’ initiative, which seeks to offer support and guidance to new fathers.
Scandinavian countries are global leaders in extending parenting opportunities beyond the traditional women’s-only role. In Denmark, men are allowed two weeks’ paternity leave following a birth (and the mother 14), with an additional 32 that can be shared.
However, the historical precedent for men acting as primary caretakers can result in a host of problems for these new fathers.
Problem and resolution
Some new fathers experience anxiety related to the responsibilities of childcare, loneliness related to a lack of a male support network, and postpartum depression, which develops after childbirth.
The ‘Father for Life’ program aims to relieve these issues by creating support networks, training programs for expectant fathers, and a series of play centres across the country to encourage more activities between fathers and their children.
The initiative is expected to operate for three years, and it launches in January 2018.

Vaccine could become the dominant form of inoculation because at $3 to $4 a dose, it is a fraction of the cost of other vaccines
WEDNESDAY, Dec. 30, 2020 (HealthDay News) — Britain became the first country to give authorization to the COVID-19 vaccine developed by AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
The British government also decided to start giving as many people as possible a first dose of vaccines, rather than keeping supplies for second shots, expanding the number of people who will be vaccinated.
Some people in clinical trials of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine were given the two doses several months apart. Regulators said that the first dose of the vaccine had 70 percent effectiveness in protecting against COVID-19 in the period between the first dose taking effect and a second shot.
The Oxford-AstraZeneca shot could become the dominant form of inoculation because at $3 to $4 a dose, it is a fraction of the cost of some other vaccines. It can also be shipped and stored in normal refrigerators for six months, rather than in the ultracold freezers needed by vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna.

MUMBAI, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Investment bank Macquarie has deepened its “underweight” stance on Thailand, warning that “simmering civil war” will have a more fundamental impact on valuations as the Southeast Asian country is battered by violent anti-government protests.
In its latest rejig of its Asia ex-Japan portfolio, Macquarie also reduced its “overweight” stance on Korean equities. The bank said that while the domestic story remains strong, it is concerned that as government stimulus fades, real estate-driven increase in lending and consumption would not be sufficient to propel the Korean economy and equities.
South Korean shares hit a one-month high on Tuesday as sentiment was boosted by a record-breaking performance on Wall Street and plans from the South Korean government to improve Asia’s fourth-largest economy.
Macquarie reduced its “underweight” on Indonesia saying it was only at the very early stages of reining in domestic demand, while maintaining “overweight” on the Philippines as it has the best promise of “reform inspired growth”. High imports and a weak rupiah have put a strain on Indonesia by widening its current-account deficit.
Last week, JP Morgan also upgraded Indonesia and Philippine shares to “overweight” from “neutral” in its global emerging markets model portfolio, citing a reduced perception of risk due to stability in some currencies and improving current accounts.
Macquarie remains “underweight” on Malaysia and India citing concerns about high levels of domestic debt and exposure to volatility in the global environment, respectively. (Reporting by Abhishek Vishnoi; Editing by Jacqueline Wong)

Buying a puppy from Jane and Tanya (and Teto and YoYo of course) has been a fantastic experience. From the first phone call, through to meeting them and finally to picking the puppy up they have been supportive, approachable and ready to answer any questions we have. We are 100% happy that not only have we got a beautiful & healthy new puppy and an ongoing source of advice but also some great new friends as well.
We would highly recommend Tanya and Jane to anyone considering a Spanish Water Dog as a family pet. From our first contact, right through to the “big day” when we collected our puppy they were always happy to help and advise and every time that we visited they made us feel very welcome. Even now, nearly seven months later, we know that we are very welcome to call for advice, encouragement and help with the essential things such as puppy’s first haircut. All of these things together with the fact that we have a beautiful, healthy SWD puppy mean that our recommendation really is heartfelt – thank you!
Most testimonials will reflect our experience with Tanya, Jane and the whole GranReserva clan and I could wax lyrical about the honest advice and continued support which we received from start to finish, and I am sure we will for as long as we all keep in touch. But the most important thing I can say is that we now have a fantastic dog, a great example of the breed, who is integral to our Family and who it is such fun to watch grow with us. We would recommend GranReserva to any prospective owners of SWDs.
Having nearly completed my first year entrusted with Tanya and Jane’s special offspring it is only now I believe I have an understanding of the complexity of the Spanish Water Dog breed. Tanya and Jane work hard to make sure you understand what you are taking on and visiting them in their own home and spending time with Teto and Yo Yo gives you a sense the dogs are independent thinkers and very attuned to your emotions. The ongoing support from Tanya and Jane has been commendable but they have also encouraged us to make contact with the wider SWD community, which is a source of support and enjoyment, as I have many new friends always there to share the funny antics of Tinto and to give good advice when I am unsure.
I would recommend Tanya and Jane without hesitation if you are considering owning a SWD, not because they produce strong healthy puppies but because no matter what you ask them, they will take the time to understand your individual situation before giving advice. They are truly amazing ambassadors for the breed!
Sid and Doreen Jevons
From the time we first contacted Tanya and Jane they have been amazingly helpful and supportive. The puppies were all beautiful. Thank goodness they helped us in choosing a puppy who would best suit us and our home. They continue to be supportive. We can’t recommend them enough as breeders of SWD’s. They are both very knowledgeable and their advice has been invaluable. Thank you for the most ‘mischievous’ and wonderful new member of our family.

Artists’ Soapbox Derby returns to Rondout this Sunday
We’ve all heard stories of annual parties so legendary that potential guests kept showing up on the doorsteps of bewildered new tenants, years after the original hosts left. Apparently, the last hilly stretch of Broadway in Kingston, ending at the Strand along the River Rondout, achieved this iconic status, thanks to a quarter-century of gravity-fueled chaos known as the Kingston Artists’ Soapbox Derby . Even the 2020 pandemic couldn’t stop it completely.
âWe got it last year. A few die-hards showed up. We kept it alive, âsaid Michael DiPleco, a professional photographer who is chairing this year’s Soapbox Derby, which takes place this Sunday. âI have been participating in the event since 2004 – as a participant, as a technician. Some years I did Gravity Control for them.
If you’ve ever been to a Derby since its debut in 1995, you’ll know that those hardworking volunteers in Gravity Control T-shirts are sometimes the only buffer between a fleeing rolling object and the vulnerable spectators who fill the sidewalks lining Broadway under Spring. Street. The Derby is not a race, and participating non-motorized wheeled vehicles, like skiers, are never expected to lose control; but minor steering accidents have been known to occur on occasion. It’s all part of the silly fun.
The small 2020 rally was unofficial and did not involve closing the street to regular car traffic. Although it was slow to get started due to uncertainties last spring regarding the safety of public gatherings, this year’s event is a reality. The street will be closed for a few hours, but the route will be a bit shorter and end at Abeel Street, as some of the restaurants on the last block of Broadway are now dependent on their customers being able to eat at curbside tables. (If there are any benefits to COVID-19, the rise of a European-style beer garden culture in America has to be one of them.)
The first Kingston Artists’ Soapbox Derby was founded by George and Nancy Donskoj, who owned an art gallery on the corner of Broadway and Spring, which became the starting line. The event turned out to be very popular and the crowds have increased every year. Entrances ranged from the most basic go-karts built by kids to ambitious rolling works of art designed by renowned Hudson Valley sculptors. This provided an irresistible challenge for DIY enthusiasts to reuse piles of garbage accumulated in their garages into imaginative assemblies on wheels.
But then the couple broke up and a succession of other organizers took the helm. A few years ago, the derby didn’t take place at all – much to the chagrin of local businesses, who love to feed the crowds that flock to see the action. It is a great way to encourage new visitors to discover the Rondout district, with all its summer attractions; many of them return for further exploration.
According to DiPleco, the management of the Derby has strayed somewhat in recent years, including a misguided attempt to repackage it as an âArtist’s Derbyâ, without the DIY aspect that has always been its charm, in order to make it profitable. . âThey tried to turn him into something he’s not,â he says. âYou can’t mark it. It’s a fun event.
This year, says DiPleco with palpable relief, the Derby is back under the auspices of the non-profit Hudson Valley Community Productions, which also hosts the annual Sinterklaas community celebrations in Kingston and Rhinebeck. He and the other current organizers are hoping to start their own 501 (c) (3) organization to keep the Derby going for the foreseeable future. They are also looking for volunteers to help on the day of the event, Sunday August 15th.
The Derby itself will take off at 1 p.m., but the street will close and the festivities will begin at noon. The Brassroots Band will walk around and play while late entries register at a table on the Spring Street start line. Radio Kingston will provide the master of ceremonies for the event.
Organizers hope that same-day registration will ensure an impressive harvest of soapbox vehicles, given that many manufacturers have started late this year, as well as enthusiastic participation from spectators. âWe are optimistic,â says DiPleco. âWe have been locked out; we want to go out and do things!
Due to the late green light date for this event, there will be no food vendors on site this year. But there are plenty of great restaurants in the immediate vicinity, the owners of which should be smiling after a difficult year and a half.
As the Derby coincides with the regular Kingston Waterfront Farmers Market on Sundays in TR Gallo Park, the Derby Awards Ceremony will take place in the neighboring pavilion. There will be prizes for adults and youth, as well as the Audience Award, voted on by the participants, and the Rondout Reject (a / k / a the Horse’s Ass Award) for the preferred failed attempt.
It costs money to make all of this happen, so if you want to donate, visit https://gofund.me/44cdbdd2. To register your vehicle online before Sunday, go to https://kingstonartistsoapboxderby.com. Admission is $ 25 for adults, free for children 12 and under.

DOW’S PLAQUEMINE, LA, PLANT ADOPTS FUEL-BLENDING FOR GE 7FA TURBINES
GE 7FA gas turbines equipped with Dry Low NOx (DLN) combustion systems are often deployed in 100% pipeline natural gas applications. Although natural gas is available, industrial and petrochemical sites sometimes prefer to use process gases produced on-site to reduce plant operating costs. These facilities produce hydrogen-containing process gases (known as off-gas) as a byproduct of the main plant chemical processes. Some users desire to reduce natural gas consumption by blending a percentage of the process off-gas with their main natural gas supply.
In response to a request from The Dow Chemical Company, GE developed a fuelblending system allowing a hydrogen/natural gas fuel to be burned in a 7FA Gas Turbine with the DLN2.6 combustion system. Until its development, the fuel specification for this combustion system did not allow for hydrogen to be included in the fuel composition.
The Dow Chemical Company approached GE about the possibility of operating a set of gas turbines at one of its petrochemical plants on a blend of process gas and natural gas. The first step in this process was a series of feasibility tests in GE’s combustion test facility in Greenville, SC, to determine the capability and limitations of the current DLN2.6 combustion system to burn a fuel blend of natural gas and hydrogen. These tests were performed at full pressure, temperature and flow, simulating field conditions.
Parameters monitored during the tests included NOx and CO emissions, as well as combustion dynamics. These tests demonstrated that the DLN2.6 combustion system is capable of operating with up to 5% H2 blended with natural gas.
Based on these feasibility tests, the engineering team designed an off-base system, capable of blending the process gas with the natural gas.The systemis composed of instruments for measuring fuel flow and gas composition as well as valves for controlling flow.
Given that a top motivation for fuel blending is to reduce natural gas consumption, it is critical that the control system maintains operation on the blended fuel. Key design elements of the fuel blending system to enable this capability include:
• GE’s Mark VI turbine control algorithms, integrating process-gas fuel blending controls and turbine protection software
• Continuous monitoring of the fuel, including the hydrogen content of the blended fuel, to ensure it stays within the defined operating envelope.
These design elements allow the system and the gas turbine controls to adapt to varying amounts of hydrogen fuel, while protecting gas turbine components and enhancing performance. The controls can handle non-methane hydrocarbons in addition to hydrogen. This is important as some chemical processes contain small amounts of ethane or other higher hydrocarbons in addition to hydrogen.
The hydrogen fuel blending systems were delivered to Dow’s Plaquemine petrochemical facility in Plaquemine, LA. This site has four GE 7FA turbines operating in a combined cycle configuration. They provide internal power for the facility, and are available to the local grid during peak power periods. Until this upgrade, these units operated solely on natural gas.
The blending systems were installed on a platform specifically built for this equipment; the four blending systems are shown in Figure 1. This allows the natural gas header to be connected to the fuel blending systems, one for each turbine, resulting in four separate fuel streams.
First operation on blended fuel took place in May, 2010. The nominal blended fuel compositionwas 5.6%hydrogen equivalent (by volume), which includes hydrogen plus other non-methane hydrocarbons.
A performance validation performed on the turbine included acquisition of performance at base load, before and after conversion. Data collected included output, emissions, and combustion dynamics.
Combustion dynamics, as measured by instruments in the combustion chambers during operation on blended fuel, were lower than natural gas acoustics over most bands and within normal limits. NOx emissions, while operating on the blended fuel, showed no measurable change in output. These 7FA turbines, it was concluded, are operating like any others in the fleet.
All four 7FA Gas Turbines at the site are now capable of operating on blended fuel. To date, these units have accumulated more than 5,100 fired hours on blended fuel.

The BookBrunch team reveals what's on their bedside tables
Francis Spufford's Golden Hill was one of my favourite books of 2016, so I've been eagerly awaiting his next one. Light Perpetual (Faber) is completely different to its predecessor: in 1944 a V2 bomb explodes in south London and atomises five children who have little in common except that they were with their mothers in Woolworths when the tragedy happened. But what if they weren't? Spufford explores how each individual's life might have developed if they hadn't died that day. So far, the writing is exceptional (reminding me a little of Kate Atkinson's Time After Time, which is high praise!) but it's difficult to see how - or indeed if - their stories intersect or relate back to that explosive opening.
Bluemoose Books is a wonderful indie publisher, banging the drum for publishing in the North of England since Kevin and Hetha Duffy started in Hebden Bridge in 2006 and really hitting the headlines when Ben Myers' The Gallows Pole won the Walter Scott Prize in 2018. Leonard and Hungry Paul by Rónán Hession has been their latest breakout success and its iconic jacket has steadily increased its presence on tables at the front of many a bookstore since its publication in March 2019. It has been listed for awards, selected as the One Dublin One Book title for 2021, and looks certain go on to wider success internationally. I am delighted to join the vocal supporters and become an advocate - it really is worth the fuss. Friendship, belief, and innocence are everywhere and it is clearly striking a chord with many readers. It's charming, thoughtful and one of those books that appears to be so sweet and simple but you know has taken so much talent and skill to make it seem so. Highly recommended.
In Digging Up Britain (Thames & Hudson) Mike Pitts tells the story of our deep history by focusing on ten iconic British archaeological sites, the history of Britain in 10 places if you will. Romans, Vikings, all the way back through the iron, bronze and stone ages to lions, elephants and rhinos, and early hominids walking this land over almost a million years ago, at Happisburgh in Norfolk. There are even cannibals. Each chapter goes in-depth to a single site, and presents the findings as part of a wider whole. Much time is spent on the new scientific methods of investigation, more akin to crime scenes than Time Team, that are revealing masses of data from even the most unpromising material. This is dense, authoritative stuff written by the editor of British Archaeology, who seems to get superb access to all the key sites and findings.
I have been a fan of the novels of Elinor Lipman since reading her delightful Then She Found Me (1990), and am very grateful to my colleague Jo Henry for the reminder (What We're Reading, 22 January) about the author's new novel, Rachel to the Rescue (Lightning Books). True to form, it's a charming love story and a witty, perceptive social satire - but not the kind of satire, one would have thought, that should scare off US publishers, as appears to have happened. Rachel gets fired from her job reassembling Donald Trump's torn-up documents, gets run over by the president's alleged lover, and finds a new position as assistant to a writer of investigative non-fiction. Meanwhile, she's got a promising thing with a guy who works in his father's wine store. It's a treat.
This Lovely City by Louise Hare (HQ) was an incredibly enjoyable book. Despite weighty themes - there was a very tragic death at the centre of the plot, and the book also explores the terrible racism in London in 1950 - it was written with a lightness of touch that really pulled me in. When Lawrie, who's been in London for two years after arriving on the Windrush, finds the body of a baby in a pond, he is immediately a murder suspect - and although this plot was a real whodunnit, it was the authentic, natural interactions between the characters that resonated with me the most. The love story between Lawrie and Evie was beautifully drawn, and so were the friendships between the couple and the other characters. I think friendship is often undervalued in books, and it was a joy to read about Lawrie and Evie building their found family in London.

Farmers Weekly: Red Tractor Assurance (RTA) will launch its first national television advertising campaign later this year to educate customers about food standards. The focus will be on educating customers about the standards behind assured food after RTA market research reports showed shoppers were twice as likely to buy a Red Tractor product if they understood more about the standards behind it.

Legendary juke joint Gip’s Place is going through some changes, but the members claim it’s here to stay. Bham Now joined hundreds of music lovers Saturday night to celebrate 67 years of old fashioned blues.
Bessemer’s hidden treasure
Hidden away in a small neighborhood just outside of downtown Bessemer is one of the last authentic juke joints in America. If you drove by on a weekday, you might miss it. But on Saturday nights, you’ll hear the joint long before you see it. Folks come from near and far to hear the blues in this one-of-a-kind venue.
A slice of home
“I have a lot of family in a lot of small Mississippi towns, and Gip’s made me homesick for the first time in years”Joseph Whitaker, first time attendee
The inside of Gip’s Place is decorated with Christmas lights and posters of famous blues icons, such as Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson. Attendees bring their own food and drinks, and are eager to share. Everyone is friendly and keen to make new friends, brought together by a mutual love of music. Once the music gets going, everyone taps their feet while the boldest members of the audience dance up in front of the stage. The musicians often stepped down onto the ground to dance and lead the crowd in a rendition of “All Night Long”. Even for newcomers, Gip’s offers a sense of community and family.
The Gip in Gip’s Place
The founder and proprietor of Gip’s Place is Henry “Gip” Gipson. From a very young age, music played an important role in Gip’s life. His love of music began in church and small juke joints. Around the age of 12, Gip picked up the guitar and began to play and sing the blues.
Around the turn of the century, Gip started to share his love of the blues with the children in his neighborhood. Meanwhile, large crowds came to see Gip teach the blues. In 1952, Gip began to host musicians in his backyard to entertain friends and family. Over the years, Gip’s backyard music events drew larger and larger crowds. Eventually, a tin-roof garage replaced the outdoor stage.
Since 1952, Gip’s Place has held large crowds of regulars and newcomers alike. The juke joint has been the subject of thousands of pictures, national news, and even a movie.
An uncertain future
Earlier this week, we learned that Gip had been placed in protective care due to his declining health. In June, Gip had suffered health problems and was briefly hospitalized.
Conflicting reports from Gip’s Place management and his family left the future of the juke joint uncertain. Henry Gipson’s Facebook account made the announcement that Gip’s Place would host the final concert on Saturday, August 10th. However, Gip’s family announced that the juke joint would continue under new management. One thing was clear – Gip’s health would not permit him to attend the event.
Saturday night’s concert ushered in a new era of Gip’s Place, hosted by Gip’s family. Meanwhile, a second concert was held in downtown Bessemer by Gip’s friends and management of Gip’s Place. Gip’s family made it clear – they do not intend to let Gip’s Place close its doors any time soon.
Despite the news of Gip’s health, the mood at Gip’s Place was anything but somber. Rather, the musicians and the crowd were there to celebrate the music and memories that Gip had fostered in his backyard.
“Gip’s has been here for 67 years. With a little blessing, we’ll be here a while longer.”Lee, singer and harmonica player

This was published in November prior to Iran's acquisition of our RQ-170. ~Patriot
Iran says it is developing its own missile defense system after Russia last year blocked delivery of the formidable S-300PMU system, which had been purchased in 2007. Israeli defense expert Uzi Rubin, architect of the Jewish state's evolving multilayer missile defense program, says Tehran may be getting help from North Korean weapons engineers.
Iranian news agencies quoted defense officials as saying the Iranian Bavar 373 system is a substitute for the five S-300 batteries Moscow refused to deliver. The Iranians claim their system is more advanced than the Russian S-300, which was developed by NPO Almaz of Moscow.
"The designing phase of the Bavar 373 missile system “¦ is to be completed soon," said Brig. Gen. Farzad Esmaili of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which oversees missile development projects in Iran.
"We don't think about the S-300," he added. "This domestically built system has more advanced capabilities than the S-300."
"Intuitively, it's difficult to imagine that the Iranian system is as good as the S-300," Rubin told The Jerusalem Post. "Making the missile is the simple part. The problem is creating complex radars and other components.
"The effectiveness of the system depends on the radars. The Iranians have some skills in this but years of experience are needed. It's difficult to believe that this can be done in one generation."
However, Rubin observed, "there are indications they're not working alone."
He said North Korean engineers may be helping the Iranians, as they have frequently over the years. The Iranians, he noted, "may be on the way to reaching these capabilities."
Technology for North Korea's Taepodong series of ballistic missiles is widely considered to have been used in Iranian projects.
On May 13, a U.N. panel of experts submitted an 81-page report to the Security Council saying that Pyongyang, ever in need of funds, persistently exported, or attempted to export, ballistic missiles, missile components and the relevant technologies to Iran in recent years despite U.N. bans.
Russians, a key arms supplier to Iran in recent years, dragged its feet on the S-300s for more than a year before deciding that delivering the missiles was banned under the fourth round of U.N. sanctions imposed on Iran in June 2010 for refusing to abandon its purported nuclear arms program.
The new sanctions regime gave Moscow the cover to renege on the $800 million deal in September.
But the decision to withhold the S-300s was largely political and part of its effort to improve relations with the West to help modernize strategic economic sectors.
The S-300 issue became a secret test for U.S. diplomacy at the highest levels and provided an opening for some strategic horse-trading.
By several accounts, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu agreed to sell the Russians 36 surveillance drones — a field in which Russia is technologically deficient — in a $100 million deal as part payment for scrapping the S-300 sale to Iran.
The United States and Israel had been particularly vehement in seeking to persuade Moscow to play ball because if Tehran acquired the S-300s its air-defense system would be dramatically strengthened to counter threatened pre-emptive Israeli airstrikes aimed at knocking out Iran's nuclear facilities.
The S-300 is considered one of the most advanced air-defense systems, ranking alongside the U.S. all-altitude Patriot system.
The S-300 can engage multiple targets, missiles as well as aircraft, at ranges of more than 100 miles at low and high altitudes.
Iran's air-defense system has nothing remotely as effective as the S-300.
The Russians are phasing it out with its own forces for the more advanced S-400. They're believed to be ahead of schedule in developing the S-500 system, which could be ready for production by the end of 2012.
In recent months, the Iranians have announced they're producing a range of indigenously developed weapons systems, including the Ghader anti-ship cruise missile.
There seems to be no shortage of new weapons programs, heightening Western skepticism about Tehran's endless claims.
While it's clear Iran has succeeded in making substantial technological advances, it's more likely to be focusing primarily on producing intermediate-range ballistic missiles like the Shehab-3 and the Sejjil-2 that are a crucial component of its nuclear program.
But air-defense is all-important as well, particularly as the Israelis are saber-rattling again and tension is mounting with the United States.

The most capable air defence system currently in PLA service are derivatives of the Russian Almaz S-300PMU/SA-10 Grumble family of Surface to Air Missiles. The S-300 SAM systems remain one of the most lethal, if not the most lethal, all altitude area defence SAM systems in service, with a range of more capable derivatives entering service in Russia, or in development. Over the Taiwan Strait the later versions of the S-300 become "offensive" weapons in that they can attack targets in Taiwanese airspace, severely challenging that nation’s air defense. Moreover, these missiles threaten all U.S. combat aircraft that may be called upon to assist Taiwan other than the stealthy B-2A and F-22A, the latter which is just entering service in diminished numbers.
China remains the single substantial export client for the S-300PMU/SA-10 Grumble, with other export sales having been sporadic and small. Until the advent of the S-300PMU/SA-10, the PLA's primary area defence SAM was the HQ-2, a reverse engineered derivative of the 1960s Soviet S-75 Dvina/Volkhov/Volga or SA-2 Guideline. With mobile tracked TELs and conventional launchers, the HQ-2 was not a credible weapon due to the vulnerability of its Fan Song series engagement radars to jamming and anti-radiation missile attack.
The S-300PMU/SA-10 family of SAMs are true analogues to the US MIM-104 Patriot, providing similar capabilities against aircraft targets at all altitudes, as well as ballistic missiles. With later variants offering genuine 'shoot and scoot' capabilities, the S-300PMU/SA-10 systems are both highly lethal, and highly survivable.
Evolution of the SA-10/SA-20
The origins of the S-300PMU/SA-10 system date to the late 1960s, when the Soviets opted to develop a much more effective SAM system to replace the S-75/SA-2 and S-200/SA-5, neither of which proved effective operationally. The intended 'common' S-300 was to be used by the Voyska PVO (Air Defence Forces), PVO SV (Army Air Defence) and Voenno-Morskii Flot (Navy), but the program soon unravelled and resulted in the very much unique V-PVO S-300P and PVO-SV S-300V systems.
The first production model was the S-300PT or SA-10A, with a towed 5P85 TEL, the V-500/5V55 SAM, a towed 5N63S Flap Lid A engagement radar, a towed 36D6 Tin Shield 3D acquisition radar, and the unique LEMZ 5N66/76N6 Clam Shell continuous wave low altitude acquisition radar, typically mast mounted. An important innovation was the family of semi-mobile 75 ft 40V6, 40V6M and 120 ft 40V6MD mast systems, available for the Flap Lid, Tin Shield and Clam Shell to provide much extended low altitude coverage.
The label 'Patriot-ski' is a reasonable one. The 5N63S and later 30N6 engagement radar is like the Patriot's MPQ-53 a space fed passive phased array design, built to concurrently track and engage multiple targets, and inherently difficult to jam with low sidelobe performance and high peak power. The command link guided 5V55K SAM could engage targets between 80 ft and 80 kft, to 25 nmi range.
With the advent of the F-4G Wild Weasel IV and EF-111A Raven during the late seventies, the Soviets responded in 1982 with the highly mobile S-300PS/SA-10B (S -Samokhodniy – Self Propelled), which saw the improved Flap Lid B and 5P85 TEL integrated on a 8×8 MAZ-7910, based on the MAZ 543 Scud TEL. The S-300PS is the forerunner of most current S-300PMU/SA-10 variants and a true 'shoot and scoot' system, unlike the Patriot. A key innovation was the new 5V55KD SAM, which introduced a Track Via Missile (TVM) terminal guidance scheme similar to the Patriot, and highly jam resistant.
The first export variant appeared in 1989, the S-300PMU/SA-10C, based on the S-300PS/SA-10B. The S-300PMU/SA-10C introduced the semitrailer based 5P85T road mobile TEL, cheaper and faster than the SA-10B's 5P85D/S TELs, but unable to negotiate rough terrain.
By 1993 Almaz developed a further evolution, in the S-300PM and S-300PMU-1 or SA-10D, the latter the export variant. Incremental and deep improvements were made to the 30N6E1 Flap Lid D, the 54K6E1 command post, and the Clam Shell was the retained. Two key innovations were the new 48N6 SAM, and the new NIIIP 64N6E Big Bird phased array acquisition radar, designed to acquire aircraft and ballistic missiles. The Mach 6 48N6 missile expanded the engagement envelope down to 25 ft AGL, out to 80 nmi, and added an Anti-Ballistic Missile capability comparable to the Patriot PAC-1/PAC-2 configuration. Almaz claim capability to 21.5 nmi and 2.8 km/sec.
The 64N6 was however the bigger advance. It is a large 2 GHz band reflective phased array, with boom mounted feeds, in a dual sector 'Janus-faced' arrangement. In terms of capabilities the 64N6 is best described as a 'land based Aegis analogue', with an aperture size similar to the SPY-1A Aegis system. It is fully mobile and can be deployed or stowed in five minutes.
While the SA-10D is formidable, Almaz continued with enhancements, releasing the further improved S-300PMU-2/SA-10E Favorit during the late 1990s. The Favorit introduced incremental improvements to the 30N6E2, 64N6E2, 54K6E2, and introduced the new all altitude LEMZ 96N6E Tombstone acquisition radar, replacing the Tin Shield, and the extended range 48N6E2 SAM. The Favorit retains compatitibility with the earlier 48N6/48N6E1 missiles, but also introduced software and interfaces allowing it to control legacy S-200VE/SA-5 Gammon batteries, and their 5N62VE Square Pair illuminators. In 2002 the Russians stated that existing S-300PM systems could be block upgraded to the Favorit-S configuration.
The next evolutionary step was the Almaz/Antey S-400 Triumf or SA-20, which is to achieve initial operational capability in Russia this year. The Triumf introduces further incremental improvements to the systems, and adds three entirely new SAM types to the weapons package.
The first two are the 96M6E and extended range 96M6E2. These are Russian equivalents to the US ERINT/PAC-3 interceptor, with both missiles using a combination of thrust vector control and canard surfaces to achieve agility, analogous in design to a short range air to air missile. Both weapons have active radar seekers and directional shaped charge warheads with a smart fusing system. Four of these missiles can be carried in tubes, within the footprint of a single 48N6 missile, allowing a single TEL to deploy 16 weapons.
A third missile type has been reported, with a cited range of 215 nmi against a high altitude target, since identified as the 48N6DM (Dal'naya – long range). This missile was developed to defeat AWACS, JSTARS, Rivet Joint, U-2, Global Hawk and other standoff ISR capabilities, as well as EA-6B or EF-18G support jammers. The Kolchuga long range ESM system is cited as a passive targeting adjunct for the Triumf system.
The Triumf thus provides a layered air defence capability within a single highly mobile system, with the 96M6 family missiles providing an organic self-defence engagement capability against smart weapons such as the Tomahawk, ALCM, JASSM, JSOW, HARM, JDAM-ER and SLAM-ER.
At least one report claims that funding for the development of the Triumf was provided in part by the PLA.
The recently announced 'Samodyerzhets' system is the latest evolution in the S-300PMU family of missiles. It is a fusion of technologies from the S-400 and PVO-SV S-300VM systems, designed as a dual role SAM/ABM system.
Russian sources claimed in 2003 that the system 'combine[s] the far range of the S-300VM missile and the advanced electronics of the S-400 missile'. Jane's identified, in 2004, the use of the extended range 9M82M Giant B round from the S-300VM, in an enhanced S-400 system. The TELAR configuration has yet to be disclosed.

About Consular Reports of Birth Abroad
The Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) is an official record confirming that a child born abroad acquired U.S. citizenship at birth and serves as proof of citizenship. The birth should be reported to the Embassy or Consulate where the birth occurred as soon as possible. You may also apply for a passport at the same time as the CRBA, though it is not required. See list of required documents, below.
Who Can Apply at the U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam
The U.S. Embassy in Dar es Salaam can only issue a CRBA for a child born within their consular district: Tanzania. We may accept CRBA applications for children born outside of Tanzania and forward them to the appropriate Embassy or Consulate for processing.
How to Schedule an Appointment
To schedule an interview appointment at the U.S. Embassy Dar es Salaam, please send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.org and use the subject line “CRBA APPOINTMENT”
We are now using the Electronic Consular Report of Birth Abroad (eCRBA). You can find more information about eCRBA here.
Who Must Attend the Interview
The child and at least one parent must be physically present at the U.S. Embassy to apply for a CRBA. If one parent is unable to attend, he or she should provide a DS-3053 to authorize issuance of a passport to the child, as well as a DS-5507 stating physical presence in the U.S. (see forms section below).
It takes 3-4 weeks for a CRBA to be processed and be available for pickup for children born within the consular district. For children born outside of the consular district, the process can be significantly longer.
U.S. Citizenship Transmission Requirements
You must bring all of the below documents to your child’s interview appointment.
CRBA checklist. Click here (PDF 210kb) for the checklist. Complete it to ensure you are fully prepared.
The fee for a CRBA is $100 or the equivalent in Tanzania Shillings.
The fee for a minor child’s passport is $135 or the equivalent in Tanzanian Shillings. You may pay in cash or by credit card. If you choose to pay in cash, we ask that you bring exact change. More information about passport fees may be found at Travel.State.Gov.
Additional Paths to Citizenship for Children of U.S. Citizen Parents
If the U.S. citizen parent does not meet INA transmission requirements, but the child has a U.S. citizen grandparent who does have the requisite physical presence, the child may be eligible for Expeditious Naturalization under the Child Citizenship Act of 2000. Through this procedure, a child under 18 years of age can become a U.S. citizen via naturalization without having to take up residence in the United States beforehand. However, Expeditious Naturalization cannot be executed at the U.S. Embassy; the child must travel to the United States and would require a Non-Immigrant Visa for this purpose. An N600 application (and supporting documentation) must be filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) before the child applies for his/her U.S. visa. Additionally, there may be other paths to U.S. citizenship for your child. You may find more information at USCIS.gov or visit the nonimmigrant visa and immigrant visa webpages for more information.

“I shall go into a hare, with sorrow and sych and meickle care. And I shall go in the Devil's name, ay while I come home again.”Freely given to us during the trials of Isobel Gowdie in 1662, this rhyme is arguably the most popularly cited incantation in modern times in reference to historical witchcraft. The detailed accounts of her initiation and the magic taught to her by the Devil in the kirkyaird of Nairne, all confessed without the use of torture, is a treasure trove of information that is invaluable to historians and modern practitioners alike.In this installment of The Mighty Dead series, we will begin by discussing the socio-political events that took place in early modern Scotland that ignited the various waves of persecution against suspected witches. Consider the interactions between the orthodoxy of the Christian church combined with the fairy beliefs of rural Scottish common-folk. And finally examine Isobel’s recounts of her relationship with the Devil, interactions with the Fairy Queen and King, and the magical workings and incantations she learned from these figures both through the lens of history and their influence upon contemporary expressions of witchcraft.

Vein disorders are not always visible; therefore, modern vein disease diagnosis requires diagnostic techniques and tools in determining the cause and severity of the problem. Depending on the results of your screening examination, we may recommend additional tests such as diagnostic ultrasound to identify where and how badly your veins are damaged. The ultrasound examination is designed to evaluate the blood flow through your veins in your legs, localizing the problem areas.
What Is A Diagnostic Ultrasound?
Diagnostic Ultrasound is a non-invasive test which allows evaluation of structures below the skin surface. It is the test of choice for evaluating vein problems. The ultrasound is performed in our office by a Registered Vascular Ultrasound Technician (RVT). Warmed ultrasound gel is applied to the leg, then the ultrasound probe is moved up and down to examine the deep and superficial leg veins. Images are taken first to map out the anatomy and rule out blood clots in the veins. Note will be made of what deeper veins the surface varicose veins connect to in order to plan the best treatment approach. These images are created by sound waves and no radiation is involved in the exam.
Once the anatomy has been evaluated, the function of the veins is checked. This involves squeezing the legs to force the blood forward through the veins and seeing if the valves close properly. When the valves are working, the blood simply stops after the squeeze is released. When the valves are incompetent, the blood flows back down toward the feet and refills the veins. This is called reflux.
How Does Venous Ultrasound Work?
Ultrasound imaging involves the use of a small transducer or handpiece. Ultrasound gel is placed on the skin and the transducer is then placed directly on the skin. The transducer transmits high-frequency sound waves through the gel into the body. The transducer collects the sounds that bounce back and a computer then makes sense of those sound waves and creates an image. These images are captured in real-time, meaning they can show blood flowing through the vessels Dr. Sun is examining.
Unlike the ionizing radiation used to create x-rays, sound waves do not have any radiation. The body is not affected in any way by sound wave energy, so there is no risk of radiation exposure. Venous ultrasound has no risks and no side effects.
Who Is a Candidate for Venous Ultrasound?
Dr. Sun uses these diagnostic tests for patients with these symptoms or conditions:
- Swelling or redness of a limb
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Vascular malformations
- Varicose veins
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Superficial thrombophlebitis
How Long Does a Diagnostic Ultrasound Take?
This is not an involved process. Venous ultrasounds take just 30-45 minutes or so.
Is Diagnostic Ultrasound Painful?
These are utterly non-invasive, painless treatments. The diagnostic energy used is sound waves, which have no adverse effects on the human body. Ultrasound has been used for decades to monitor the health of the developing fetus during pregnancy among other uses.
Is There Any Preparation Necessary Before My Venous Ultrasound?
The only thing you’ll want to do is wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your appointment. There aren’t any restrictions for eating or drinking.
Can I Drink Water Before My Ultrasound?
You can eat and drink normally. You may have heard you have to fast or not drink water, but that is only for ultrasounds conducted on the abdominal area. Those restrictions don’t apply to ultrasound diagnosis of the leg veins.
What Are Some Common Uses of Venous Ultrasound?
The most common reason Dr. Sun requests a venous ultrasound is to search for blood clots in the leg veins. This condition, deep vein thrombosis, can create clots that can break off and pass into the lungs where they can cause a dangerous condition called pulmonary embolism.
These are other uses of these effective tests at Sun Vein & Vascular:
- To find the causes of leg swelling, as evidenced by the repeated formation of varicose veins. Through ultrasound, we can find the damaged vein valves that are allowing backflow.
- To provide guidance for the placement of a catheter into a vein for radiofrequency ablation and foam sclerotherapy.
- To map out the veins to find pieces that may be used to bypass a narrowed or blocked blood vessel.
What Are the Benefits of Using Ultrasound Versus Other Diagnostic Tools?
Venous ultrasound is a great diagnostic tool. It has no risks or harmful effects on humans. Here are some reasons we love this diagnostic tool at Sun Vein & Vascular:
- Ultrasound is noninvasive, no needles or injections are required.
- Ultrasound is painless.
- Ultrasound is easy-to-use and less expensive than CT scans and the like.
- Ultrasound images are superior to x-rays for seeing soft tissues, such as veins.
- Ultrasound provides real-time images, so we can see blood flowing through the veins in question.
- Venous ultrasound allows us to see blood clots in the legs before they dislodge.
How Soon Will I See the Results from My Ultrasound?
Dr. Sun examines your ultrasound immediately and discusses what she finds with you.
Are There Other Ways to Diagnose Vein Disease Besides Venous Ultrasound?
Venous ultrasound is by far the most used diagnostic test for problems with leg veins. In some cases, however, more detailed images are necessary. These more involved diagnostic tests can also be used for vascular problems in the legs:
- Magnetic resonance venogram — This is a type of MRI scan that uses radio waves to provide images of veins in the legs. It can detect blood flow and obstructions deep in the legs.
- CT venogram — A CT venogram uses a series of X-rays and computer software to detect blood flow and clots in the deep veins of the legs.
- Venogram — A venogram uses X-rays and a contrast dye to create images of leg veins. This type of venogram is used less frequently than the two options listed above.
Schedule A Consultation Visit
We have many years of experience and are able to identify the cause of vein incompetence in all of our patients. Our providers perform the physical examinations and then correlate symptoms, physical examination findings, and the ultrasound analysis to make the proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations. During your initial consultation, it is very important to us that you have time to review the ultrasound scan with your provider. We will also review your history, symptoms, and initial exam to determine the next steps for evaluation.

Back in 2010, when I decided that I would create the Courageous Living Program, I went over to my book shelf and quietly took every book from every personal growth writer I’d ever loved off of the shelf. These were the books that had meant the world to me. Changed me. Given me the inspiration to write my own permission slip. Reminded me that I could go on when I was mired in my own self-doubt.
I took those books over to my computer, began searching for contact information, and then wrote simple, straightforward emails asking if I could interview each person about their work.
Every.Single.Time. that I pressed “send,” I felt my hands shake. There was nothing easy about this process. The first email was definitely the hardest, and subsequent emails were less hard–but at no time did the process feel easy.
I kept going only because I really believed in the program and how it could help people, and because I didn’t want to be too afraid to ask . I figured that the only thing holding me back would be if I was too afraid to ask , and that wasn’t an acceptable option.
After all, I reminded myself, if I wasn’t too afraid to ask then the worst that would happen is the person would say “no.”
And if they said “no”? I’d go right back to being the same person I’d been before I made the request. Someone saying “no” wasn’t going to cost me anything.
But being too afraid to ask? That would cost me, dearly.
We can’t do life, alone. We all know that, yet most of us try to get by on our own efforts, our own tiny will, because risking rejection can feel like too much. In that way, reaching out and being willing to ask is an initiation, of sorts. You become initiated into taking a stand for something that matters deeply to you, when you risk rejection.
As I write this, I’m months away from when my first book, The Courage Habit (New Harbinger Publications), will be out in the world. Once again, I’m needing to write emails and ask.
It still doesn’t feel easy, to ask. Every “yes” is one piece of the larger puzzle of getting this book out into the world. The “yes” responses will add up to make a formidable difference in this book’s life.
But, I keep reminding myself: The worst that can happen, is they say “no.” The odds are that you’ll survive rejection.
And, I say “yes” to this project. I say yes, I say yes, I say yes. And my own “yes” is the most important yes.
If you get the sacred yes that you wish for, of course it will open doors. But I try to remember: the “no” doesn’t usually mean as much as we think it will, and the “yes” will only feel good to the degree that we are fully behind our own work.
Rejection is survivable.
You, not being fully behind your own deepest dreams, to the point where you’re too afraid to ask? That’s what’s really tough. That’s not something we can get over, as easily. That’s why we need to do the (internal) work to connect with our courage and work through any fears of asking for help, or favors, endorsements, support, or camaraderie.
Let the initiation, begin.


Clothes dryer wasn't drying the clothes. Not sure if it was a venting problem or the actual dryer. Peter came over and had a look. Luckily it was a simple problem. He had the parts with him and did the job quickly and efficiently.
Very nice guy, great job, will definitely keep the card close by for any other future problems.

WASHINGTON, DC – The Federal Bureau that oversees the regulation of coal mining and restoration of abandoned mine lands is honoring an Alaska land and resource management agency with an award for abandoned mine reclamation.
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) will honor the Alaska Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Division of Mining, Land, and Water’s Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Program during a national conference of mine land reclamation professionals. Alaska’s AML Program won the Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Western Region Award for reclaiming the Hydraulic Pit, a 52-acre abandoned coal mine in the Healy area about 110 miles south of Fairbanks.
The Hydraulic Pit, mined in the late 1950s and 1960s, is one of several abandoned coal strip mines that operated in the Healy Valley between the 1920s and early 1970s. DNR’s goals for the Hydraulic Pit reclamation project were to:
• Eliminate human health and safety hazards
• Improve water quality in receiving streams
• Enhance wildlife habitat
• Create additional recreational opportunities on state land
The Hydraulic Pit was more than 1,600 feet long with vertical highwalls, some exceeding 265 vertical feet. Approximately 805,000 cubic yards of material were regraded to eliminate the highwalls. The project area was revegetated with an approved seed mix and improvements in water quality have been documented downstream of the project. DNR will continue an intensive tree planting program to ensure long-term success.
DNR is continuing work to reclaim the remaining abandoned mine pits in this valley. Funding for these and other AML projects in Alaska are made possible by annual OSMRE grants. In FY 2018, Alaska’s AML Program received $2.8 million in OSMRE AML funding.
Alaska is among five recipients of the 2018 Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Awards given for reclamation excellence. Awards are presented for the best reclamation project nationally, as well as the best project in each of OSMRE’s three regions, and for the project that costs less than $1 million and is in a state that receives less than $6 million in AML funds. A panel of judges composed of directors of state and tribal reclamation programs and OSMRE managers voted to determine this year’s awardees.
The other award winners are:
Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship
Mines and Minerals Bureau, Division of Soil Conservation
Logan Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Project
Appalachian Region Award
Kentucky Department of Natural Resources
Division of Abandoned Mine Lands
Joan Bernat Slide Reclamation Project
Mid-Continent Region Award
Indiana Department of Natural Resources
Division of Reclamation
Abandoned Mine Land Site 882 - Snow Hill
Western Region Award
Alaska Department of Natural Resources
Abandoned Mine Land Program, Division of Mining, Land and Water
Hydraulic Pit Reclamation Project
OSMRE will present its Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Awards during the annual conference of the National Association of Abandoned Mine Land Programs in Williamsburg, Virginia on September 10, 2018.
