Day of Dead Rosemont Celebration
By DIANE TURNER-HURNS
Journal & Topics Reporter
In addition to tricks and treats, from Halloween (Oct. 31) through Nov. 2 many Rosemont residents will honor dearly departed friends and family members with a colorful, near one-story high “Day of the Dead” altar at the Rosemont Recreation Center, 7128 Barry St.
The new altar plays a pivotal role in the annual event, which focuses on prayers and remembrance of friends and family members who have died. It is full of items, such as cigars, flowers, cooking tools, artwork, fruit and more in remembrance.
On Nov. 2, residents are invited to bring refreshments and dishes of food to help celebrate the occasion, rec center Supervisor Alex Perez said.
“Usually, people will bring plates of food,” he said. “If people want to bring food, we encourage them to do so only on Nov. 2, the last day of the event.”
Not only did Rosemont resident Evangelina Perez come up with the idea to build an altar at the recreation center, but she rounded up volunteers who went out and purchased the materials and built it in about a day.
Maria Perez, Guadalupe Martinez, Sofia Ibarra, Marta Trejo, Rosa Contreras, Marbeli De La Rosa and Ed Ramirez helped Evangelina design and build the altar which sits just inside the recreation center in the game room in front of the indoor soccer field.
Next to the altar is information on what the “Day of the Dead” is and its importance for Mexican residents.
“We wanted to do something special,” Perez said. “My wife (Evangelina) is a former librarian. At the schools where she worked they would often have ‘Day of the Dead’ events and programs as well as altars. It’s like All Saints Day.
“We invite everyone to participate in the celebration,” Perez said. “We also look forward to seeing everyone at the Thursday, Oct. 27 Halloween costume party at the recreation center. We’re going to have a ton of games, refreshments, pizza, costume prizes and more. All residents are invited.”

Twelve runners have embarked upon the challenge of traversing the tip of Scotland (John O’Groats) to the boot of England (Land’s End) in fewer than six days. The team, running in aid of Children’s Alzheimer’s charity, Niemann-Pick Research, will pass through the Midlands today (1 May).
The distance equates to around 1500k (923 miles) and means each person will need to keep a 12km/hr pace and cover two-thirds of a marathon every day. It is estimated that each member will consume around 6,000 calories to fuel their challenge.
Having set off on Monday, the team will enter the Midlands today, the fourth day of relay, travelling through the counties of Shropshire, Staffordshire and Worcestershire, before going on to Gloucestershire and the South West on Saturday for the final days of the world record attempt.
One of the participants, Simon Crotty commented, “I’ve completed the London Marathon twice, once in 2011 and again last year, cycling from the west to the east coast of Scotland in 2013 so naturally another challenge was on the cards for 2015.”
Simon added: “A few of the parents from my children’s school were also talking about a challenge and we decided to do it together. We wanted something monumental so naturally a Guinness World record was an obvious choice and the length of Great Britain sounded fitting, too. When we heard about a teammate’s friend whose son suffers from Niemann-Pick we immediately agreed the record attempt would be in aid of the Children’s Alzheimer’s charity.”
The team are being supported by sports personalities such as Seb Coe, Tim Henman and Lawrence Dallaglio and TV presenter Clare Balding.

To kick off Black History Month, the Bears have unveiled their "Deeply Rooted" theme, symbolizing the integral connection between Black history and American history. The thematic will be woven in throughout the club's Black History Month content pieces, community service efforts, an exclusive merchandise collection and more.
The Bears, in partnership with the National Association of Black Journalists' Chicago Chapter, are highlighting Allegra Coleman, a student voice, on their owned and operated platforms for the month of February. Coleman, a star journalism student at Loyola Marymount University and Chicago native, will start the month off with a personal reflection on what "Deeply Rooted" means to her.
NABJ Chicago President Brandon Pope and the Bears have worked closely to continuously build the organizations' partnership and look for ways to give members more sports media opportunities.
"To do that you have to bring up diverse media storytellers and help those that may not be as advantaged as other people are," Pope said. "Journalism is an industry that tends to benefit way too often those who have it and really disenfranchise those who don't … Being able to provide opportunities and exposure and be that stop gap is everything. And so we're happy that the Bears understand that mission and are passionate about that mission, and we're thankful to partner with them for that."
With Pope's help, ChicagoBears.com coached Coleman to cultivate a voice for Black journalists from inside the organization.
At Loyola Marymount, Coleman is involved in the student newspaper, "The Loyolan," as a sports intern, works extensively with the ESPN+ broadcast crew and produces and hosts a radio show for the men's basketball team. Coleman is also in the process of launching an all-inclusive sports magazine.
"Allegra is a superstar and still so young," Pope said. "She has that passion, that excitement, that energy, that drive that you hope every young person has. It inspires you along the way when you get a chance to talk to her because we all remember when we were her age. I see a lot of myself in her, trying to find every opportunity I can to get some clips and push ahead and have a good career, so I think she's got a bright future ahead."
Coleman grew up on the South side of Chicago, was raised a Bears fan and still follows the team closely.
"I think it's just an amazing opportunity," Coleman said. "I never once would've thought that I would be working with the Bears. I just think it's honestly such an amazing opportunity. I grew up passing Soldier Field to go to elementary school, high school, just to hang out with my friends. That was just always something that I would see going on Lake Shore Drive.
"I think it's super cool to say I grew up in Chicago and now I'm working for the Chicago Bears — I'm a part of this team that I grew up watching and admiring and wondering if I could one day be a part of it."
Coleman said being involved with her hometown's NABJ chapter has "helped me a lot in such a short amount of time," provided unique opportunities like the one with the Bears and assisted in networking with "people with the same mind."
Coleman also takes a lot of pride in being able to represent Black journalists on a national scale and represent the city of Chicago.
"I'm a Black woman that's working in sports right now, and it's a hard field to get into, and I think that doing this during Black History Month is really motivating," Coleman said. "It's going to amplify our voices, Black voices within the industry. I think it's going to be something that's really powerful for me to be a part of and for others to witness this partnership. I'm just super excited."
In addition to Coleman's work during Black History Month, the Bears will highlight a variety of content throughout February, including player testimonials, Pope's WCIU interviews with President & CEO Kevin Warren and general manager Ryan Poles, collaborations with Chicago Urban Historian Shermann "Dilla" Thomas and more.
The "Deeply Rooted" merchandise collection will include a snapback and t-shirt to emphasize the deep connection between Black History and American history. In partnership with New Era and '47 Brand, the exclusive items will be available for online purchase at the Bears Pro Shop later in February.

Botulinum facial toxin
Also known in the aesthetic and cosmetic environment as Botox, botulinum toxin is the substance that has the objective of temporarily paralyzing the muscles (whatever the area you want to treat) to prevent the formation of so-called fine lines. Normally, one injection per treated area is enough and the property will be a very effective anti-aging treatment, lasting between 4 and 6 months. Normally the areas to be treated with the botox are usually the forehead, the corners of the mouth and the part of the eye contour
- The results obtained are natural.
- It is treatment, not surgery.
- It is completely painless.
- It is done in a short time and is not expensive.
- It can also treat cases with sweating problems and migraines.
Expected results and risks
After two or three days, the patient can see the first results. But it is not until the twentieth day that they will be final, although they will not be permanent. After passing between 3 and 6 months after treatment, the effects will disappear. That is the reason why this treatment should be performed a couple of times a year, usually in the case of women. With men, they will proceed to a greater amount of treatment since they have stronger muscles.
Once the skin is properly cleaned, the professional will apply cream for local anesthesia, cryotherapy (tissue freezing) and in this way the patient will not feel
Care after the intervention
Nasal plugs will be placed on the patient, who will keep them for 3 days. In the recovery process, avoid using glasses as much as possible during the first two weeks. You will not be able to stay in crowded areas or expose yourself to the sun’s rays. You must be careful with the bandage when performing cleaning actions, avoiding wetting or moistening.

The Case Against Sen. Ted Cruz’s 529 “Tax Break” Amendment
The Amendment Touted by Senator Ted Cruz and His Supporters, Ostensibly to “Help” Parents by Giving Them a “Tax Break” for Homeschooling Their Children, is UnConstitutional and Should Not Become Law.
NATIONAL HOME EDUCATION LEGAL DEFENSE, LLC
Attorney Deborah G. Stevenson
Senator Cruz, and those who urged him to do this, such as Home School Legal Defense (HSLDA), have made a big mistake. They purportedly want to help parents, but they actually put parents in jeopardy.
In short, either Senator Cruz, is well-meaning and was duped into thinking a “tax break” from the IRS for parents who homeschool is a good thing, or, he and his supporters didn’t think things through. Or, even worse, they did think things through and actually want homeschooling parents to be lumped in with other folks who are under the tentacles of the IRS so that they, too, may come under the awesome power of the federal government. Any way you look at it, this definitely is not a good thing for parents.
Mark my words, giving the IRS authority over whether the parents’ homeschool “qualifies” for a “tax break” is not going to bode well for parents.
More to the point, Senator Cruz and his supporters have no Constitutional authority to give such a “tax break” to parents who homeschool, and, as “Constitutional scholars” they should know better.
National Home Education Legal Defense, LLC, (NHELD), long has been opposed to such “tax breaks”, and other proposed federal laws purporting to “help” homeschoolers since the first such law was proposed by HSLDA over a decade ago.
Both HSLDA and NHELD were formed to help parents, and, I’m sure that Senator Cruz and his colleagues in Congress who voted for the amendment to HR1 thought they were “helping” parents, as well. They were wrong.
The amendment that the Senate just adopted was, and is, unconstitutional. To understand why it is unconstitutional, you have to understand history and our rule of law.
When they formed this country, the people stated, in no uncertain terms, in the Declaration of Independence, that by our very existence, we are endowed by our Creator with certain “unalienable rights”. You know, rights that already exist and that no one can take away. We may voluntarily give some of our rights and powers away, but no one can take them away by fiat.
The people who formed this country then established a federal government, by way of a Constitution, precisely to make sure that the government secures those rights from infringement, to ensure that no one can take them away, not even, and especially, the federal government. As a matter of fact, because the States and the people were so concerned that this new federal government might infringe on the rights that the States and the people already had, the States refused to ratify the Constitution, until and unless, the Constitution was amended to contain a Bill of Rights and assurances that their rights were not going to be infringed or taken away.The first ten amendments, otherwise known as the Bill of Rights, then were adopted, and the Constitution was ratified.
The most important of the first ten amendments were the Ninth and Tenth Amendments. Why? Because those were the amendments that basically said to the federal government: The people gave you certain specifically enumerated powers that they listed in the Constitution itself, and, just in case you can’t understand that, and in case you “misconstrue” or “abuse” those powers, understand this: the enumeration of the specific RIGHTS listed in the Constitution that we gave to you, the federal government, SHALL NOT be construed to DENY or DISPARAGE other rights already RETAINED by the people, (that’s the Ninth Amendment); and, the enumeration of the specific POWERS listed in the Constitution that we gave to you, the federal government, ARE RESERVED to the STATES and to the PEOPLE (that’s the Tenth Amendment).
In other words, the people are born with already existing rights and powers, and the people only voluntarily gave to the federal government a few rights and powers, specifically enumerated in the Constitution, and specifically for the purpose of protecting and securing from infringement the rights that the people already have.
Please note: the people NEVER gave any of their rights to the upbringing and education of their children to the federal government.
The people NEVER gave any of their rights concerning the education of children, in any fashion, to the federal government. A specifically enumerated grant of power to the federal government regarding the education of children simply, and quite emphatically, DOES NOT EXIST in the Constitution. Read it for yourself.
Now, given those historical, and undeniable facts, why is it that the Constitutional lawyers in HSLDA, and in the Senate, such as Senator Cruz, apparently do not understand them?
Why do they not understand that the people and the States, through the specifically enumerated powers granted to the federal government, did NOT grant to the federal government ANY power over parents and children?
If they did understand this very simple principle, why did they support and adopt the amendment to HR1 allowing the IRS, i.e., the federal government, to have power over what parents can, and cannot, do with their own money spent on the education of their children?
The federal government simply has no authority to have anything to say about the rights of parents, even if it is only purportedly to “help” parents with a “tax break”.
You might wonder how the federal government, nonetheless, already has adopted so many laws already regarding the education of children. It is very important that people do wonder why that is.
Yes, the people and the States granted to the federal government taxing and spending power, but the grant of taxing and spending power was very much limited to taxing and spending ONLY for the specifically enumerated powers granted to the federal government. The federal government simply does not have any power to tax and spend for any other purposes.
For years, however, the federal government has ignored that fact. For years, Congress has adopted laws, unconstitutionally, taxing and spending for purposes other than the powers granted to the federal government, such as education. Congress, and their supporters, know, full well, that these laws are unconstitutional. How do I know that? I know that because of the manner in which the laws are adopted. In other words, Congress simply does not adopt a law that DIRECTLY regulates the education of a child by the parent or by the States. That’s because Congress knows it has no authority to do so. Instead, Congress adopts a law, such as No Child Left Behind, for example, that says, in effect, that Congress will give to the States an inordinate amount of money, or some other benefits, IF the States adopt their own State laws that mirror that which is recited in the federal law. Now, the States could say “No”, we will not adopt a law that mirrors what you have in that bill, voluntarily binding ourselves to do as the federal government wishes, and that would be perfectly Constitutional to just say “No”. That’s because, again, the federal government has no specifically
enumerated power to adopt any law directly affecting education. The federal government knows that, obviously, by the manner in which it adopted the law in the first place. The States also know that. Most of the States, however, go along with adopting laws that mirror the federal laws, thus voluntarily binding them to do as the federal government wishes, in order to receive the federal funding or other benefits. Parents and children, then, indirectly are affected when they are enrolled in those schools that are compelled under the State laws to do as the federal government wishes. Again, this type of regulation is NOT a direct regulation of the right of parents to the education of their child. It is indirect regulation.
Now, it appears, however, that, with the backing and promotion of HSLDA, Senator Cruz and his colleagues in the Senate, successfully proposed and adopted an amendment to HR1, that similarly is unconstitutional, and that now DIRECTLY regulates the rights of parents regarding the education of their children, by providing a direct “benefit” to them. A benefit that has unknown, but potentially, very negative, long-term consequences, despite its innocuous and beneficial sounding language.
This time, the law does not provide for a “grant” of money. Instead, it provides for a “grant” of a tax exemption. In essence, it is a “grant” by the federal government, a beneficent gift, to allow the IRS to determine whether some of the money a parent earns will NOT be taxed, i.e., will not be taken by the federal government for tax purposes. Whether it is an outright “grant” of money to a person, or it it a “grant” of a “benefit” to a person that the federal government will NOT exercise what it believes to be its authority to take that person’s money, it is unconstitutional. Congress, in essence, is saying to the people that the federal government HAS the authority to adopt regulations affecting the rights of parents over the education of their children through how they ‘are allowed” by the federal government to keep the money they spend on the education of their children. Congress NEVER had that power, however, and still doesn’t.
No matter how good a law sounds, or how “beneficial” it is to any particular person, the fact remains, the law may be either constitutional or unconstitutional. The federal government either has the specifically enumerated power to do that which it deems “beneficial”, or it does not have the specifically enumerated power to do it.
Here, the federal government simply DOES NOT HAVE THAT SPECIFICALLY ENUMERATED POWER to do it. The amendment simply is unconstitutional.
Aside from that fact, the consequences of allowing a federal agency to intrude, in any way, shape or form, on the unalienable right of parents regarding the education of their children are enormous. If a federal agency does not already exist to “implement” a law adopted, one inevitably will exist to do so. In this case, the Internal Revenue Service has been designated to implement this law.
Think about that. That means that the IRS, with all its power and might, now will determine who “qualifies” for this new federal “grant” of tax exemption, and under what circumstances and conditions they “qualify”. How will the IRS do that? Anyway, it deems appropriate. Does that mean that the IRS can ask you now to furnish information about how you homeschool, about what curricular materials you use, about your child, whether your homeschool is treated as a homeschool or a private school for purposes of State law, whether your child is dual enrolled, and what educational therapies your disabled child is receiving, all in the name of determining whether you “qualify” as homeschooling, whether your curriculum and materials “qualify” as legitimate educational expenses, and whether your child “qualifies” as a “designated beneficiary”? Of course, the answer is “Yes”. Could it also mean the IRS could audit you regarding the expenditures you made for the education of your child?
Again, the answer, undoubtedly, is “Yes”. Did Senator Cruz, his colleagues, or any of the proponents of this amendment, such as HSLDA, even consider these consequences before promoting and adopting the bill?
Is this really what the people want?
Is this not an extreme example of unconstitutional infringement on the unalienable rights of parents and children?
Just exactly where in the Constitution does it say that Congress, let alone the IRS, has the specifically enumerated power to do any of that?
Given that the proponents of this amendment consider themselves to be Constitutional scholars, why don’t they know there is no such Constitutional authority?
Or, do they know, and simply don’t care?
Given the unconstitutionality of the amendment, and given all of the negative potential consequences of its implementation, why, on earth, would these Constitutional scholars propose, and laud, this unconstitutional amendment?
Could someone please explain that? It simply makes no sense whatsoever.
Thank goodness, it is not to late to correct this, however. The Senate adopted this unconstitutional amendment, but HR1 still has to be reconciled with the House adopted version of the larger bill. Let us hope that this amendment does not survive to become law.
Read the Constitution for yourself, think about it, and make your own decision about whether or not you want to allow this unconstitutional amendment to survive.
In any case, please provide this information to all of your Senators and Congressmen, and to President Trump.
Ask them to act only when they have the Constitutional power to do so.

Black Rose Pocket Pistol ……. Designed by Justin Quintal
5’ 10” x 12 3/4” x 19 5/8” x 13 3/4” x 2 1/4”
This is a special order Board…….. Approximately 4-6 Delivery
Description: This is your go-to barrel board. The wide point is pushed up a little above center and the tail pulls into a rounded pin, giving the board a slight teardrop look. This helps the rail stay engaged when taking a steep drop and helps the board catch quicker in steep sections. The wide point, being more forward, adds foam under the chest for better paddling, helps push down the face of the wave, and lends to a forward stance toward the wide point of the board. Keeping that center of gravity more forward helps when navigating over the foam ball and driving through a throaty barrel. There’s a heavy single to double concave that runs down the bottom, which makes subtle adjustments and pumping in the tube easier. Additionally, it loosens up the board giving it more release on turns and airs.
Comments: The deck is relatively flat, the rocker is relatively low but not too flat and is shaped more into the bottom of the board. You can do turns and airs on this board, but it takes a steeper more powerful down the line wave for this board to come alive. That being said, the main function of the board is being able to get as barreled as possible.
Modern with edge
Double-sided resin tint

Hellers launches free-farmed range
Christchurch smallgoods company Hellers has launched a new, free-farmed bacon range.
It says discerning shoppers are choosing New Zealand pork products and are concerned about welfare issues, expect the best quality and are prepared to pay for it.
Company founder and director Todd Heller said the company had done research to find out what consumers wanted and its latest bacon product ticked the boxes.
"All our free-farmed bacon is 100 per cent New Zealand-grown.
"Our bacon is sourced from selected New Zealand farms, where the sows are outdoors and their piglets are raised in barns after they're weaned. There are no crates, no stalls and the pigs are free to move around."
No hormones were used and regular independent animal welfare audits were carried out.
"Free-farmed" means sows live in paddocks, with shelters to protect them from the weather and special huts for farrowing. The sows can move freely from their shelters to the paddock.
Managing director Nick Harris said there was growing consumer demand for free-farmed pork products.
The company had been in the free-farmed market for a while, first offering free-farmed bacon 18 months ago but had now re- branded, relaunched and expanded its range.
Hellers sources its free-farmed products from a group of Canterbury farmers called Apple Tree Farms.
It employs between 300 and 330 people at its meat processing plant in Kaiapoi and between 100 and 130 people in Auckland.
The company produces 80 types of sausages and saveloys, as well as bacon, ham and deli smallgoods.

Is it possible to gain serenity by isolating and removing all that is evil and full of rage from our minds? This is the question Dr. Henry Jekyll seeks to answer in Chapin Theatre Company’s production of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. After much experimentation and late hours in his laboratory, Jekyll creates a concoction that transforms him from his kind-natured bookish self into a raging violent monster who calls himself Mr. Hyde. In Jeffrey Hatcher’s adaptation of the famous novella by Robert Louis Stevenson, the lines of good and evil fade to grey. In the beginning of his experiments, Dr. Jekyll remembers his alter-ego’s activities, but gradually he begins to “black out” for days at a time; as Hyde terrorizes London with violence, depravity, and murder. Jekyll, through the testimony of his friends and colleagues is acutely aware of the dangerous and deadly extent of Hyde’s actions, but continues with his experiments regardless. Hyde, on the other hand, becomes a sympathetic anti-hero. Born with a rage he can’t control, we see surprising moments of tenderness to Elizabeth, a young chambermaid who falls in love with him. He laments being unable to lament his cruel nature, and does all he can to defend himself from Jekyll’s threats to destroy him.
This production of what could be a deeply moving exploration into the darkest corners of man’s soul doesn’t entirely work. I applaud a small community theatre for attempting such a difficult production, but several elements of the show came off as hokey and/or unpolished. Some of this is due to the challenging nature of the script. Relying heavily on an ensemble cast, most of the actors end up playing a different aspect of Mr. Hyde — a device that isn’t very effective, as it doesn’t really contribute to the story. The constant “filling in the gaps” of the story by aside narrations and journal readings wouldn’t be so annoying if they weren’t so plentiful, often halting and killing any suspense that might have otherwise built up. George Dinsmore’s performance of Dr. Henry Jekyll becomes much more powerful in the second half of this production, as we begin to actually see his inner turmoil and guilt for what he has done. Nathan Dawson pulls of multiple roles, including the “main” Hyde well, although his Hyde is teeters on the edge of becoming a caricature, with a voice that is distractingly Tom Waits-ish. The lack of erotic tension in the scenes between Hyde and Elizabeth (played by Emily Meadows) made their intense relationship seem quite unlikely.
This isn’t to say this production is without merit – far from it. The ensemble cast pulls off their rapidly-changing characters well, changing their voices, postures, and mannerisms seamlessly and impressively. Somehow a scene where one of the characters (played by David Reed) oversees an autopsy of the character he played in the previous scene doesn’t seem at all strange or out of place. While the individually ever-rotating Mr. Hydes aren’t very effective, the scenes where they converge together to torment Dr. Jekyll are downright chilling.
The set is stark, raw, and adaptive – perfect for this production. The music plays a major part in creating this show’s haunting mood. A few costume changes would have been helpful in establishing character changes, but became unnecessary, due to the strength of the cast’s ability to change so effortlessly and distinctly from role to role.
Chapin Theatre Company is making bold strides in moving away from being just another community theatre. While they haven’t reached the caliber of other theatre companies in the Columbia area yet, they are well on their way. Despite its flaws, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde will make a great addition to your Halloween season.
~ Jillian Owens
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, adapted by Jeffrey Hatcher from the Robert Louis Stevenson novella Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, runs Oct. 19-Nov. 3, 2012 at the Harbison Theatre at Midlands Technical College, 7300 College St., Irmo, SC 29063.

BUT FIRST, WHAT IS PITCHWARS?
Pitch Wars is a mentoring program where published/agented authors, editors, or industry interns volunteer as mentors (that’s us!) and then each mentor or co-mentor pair chooses one writer (that could be you!) and spend three months helping them revise their manuscript. It ends in February with an Agent Showcase, where a pitch/first page is posted online and literary agents can request to read more. If you’re new to PitchWars or want more information, check out the website: www.pitchwars.org.
Note: PitchWars is not a promise that mentees will get offers of representation, nor is it a paid service (no one pays or gets paid!), or an automatic golden ticket to authorial stardom. Okay, now that we’re super clear on all that…
MEET LAUREN AND EMILY:
Hi, I’m Emily! This is my second year as a PitchWars mentor and I had such a great time mentoring last year that I’m back and teaming up with my editor-sib Lauren Blackwood to mentor Young Adult (also accepting NA)
Fun fact: My 2020 mentee, Lyssa Mia Smith, is also a YA mentor this year!
I was a PitchWars mentee in 2017, an Author Mentor Match mentee in 2018, and in 2019, I wrote and queried yet another manuscript before signing with my wonderful agent, Chelsea Eberly of Greenhouse, and my debut YA Fantasy duology comes out next June with Wednesday books!
This Vicious Grace features a divinely-chosen savior doing a terrible job, a grumpy bodyguard determined not to laugh at her dirty jokes, and more banter than I ever dreamed they’d let me publish.
THE Tamora Pierce calls it:
“Riveting, passionate, and full of high stakes danger”
In addition to writing, I’m also a co-host on the Basic Pitches podcast, a mom of two, twitter-addict, former teacher, cat-rescue volunteer, and board member with Writer House, a central VA writing non-profit. I grew up in New Jersey before moving to Virginia, so I talk fast and wave at strangers!
Hey, I’m Lauren, co-mentoring YA with Emily this year! My debut YA Fantasy WITHIN THESE WICKED WALLS is a gothic Ethiopian-inspired Jane Eyre retelling about an under qualified debtera who gets in over her head when she’s hired by a moody young heir to cleanse the Evil Eye from his secluded, cursed castle.
This book has everything–creepy vibes, banter for days, a grumpy mentor with a drinking problem, and SO MUCH KISSING. It comes out October 19th, 2021, and you should totally check it out HERE
After writing a handful of what I’ll call “practice manuscripts” I got an offer from my agent, Lauren Spieller, in 2019 (on my birthday of all days! Best birthday ever!). After some revising we sold WTWW to Wednesday Books in 2020.
It’s been a lot of fun being editor siblings with Emily, especially since it’s clear we have the same taste. When I’m not writing, I’m a musician, and am such a kindred spirit with Emily that I am also a twitter-addict and a northerner moved to Virginia (New York, baby!).
WHAT OUR MENTEE CAN EXPECT FROM US:
Writing is personal, so we’ll always strive to be sensitive and considerate in our feedback. We don’t think critique must be harsh, but we won’t hesitate to point out issues (while suggesting possible solutions!) Our feedback will be direct, thorough and we will encourage our mentee to challenge themselves.
We’ll do two passes of your manuscript. For the first, we’ll provide an edit letter (which will be long, because Emily is wordy) and in-document comments with lots of exclamation points. We’ll be specific about areas we think could be stronger, explain our reasoning and offer suggestions, but in the end, it’s your book and our role is to help you make it the best version of what you want it to be. Together, we’ll discuss a revision plan, including a rough timeline for the various stages, and your preferred style of communication.
We’ll read again after that to make sure the changes are working, send suggestions for final clean-up edits before the showcase, and help with line-edits as time permits. We’ll also assist with a query letter, synopsis, and pitch for the agent showcase.
We can communicate as little or often as you need, but while we love to collaborate and are up for some hand-holding, we both have deadlines of our own, so there may be times where we can’t promise instant access. Which leads us to…
WHAT WE EXPECT FROM OUR MENTEE:
While many writers hope PitchWars will propel them to instant-stardom, that really isn’t the best reason to enter. (Emily wants to emphasize that PitchWars wasn’t her golden ticket to an agent/book deal which took two more years and two more books, but it definitely improved her craft and introduced her to an incredible writing community!) With that in mind, we’d like a mentee who willing to work and be a positive (or at least not negative) member of the community.
Mentees are in Pitch Wars to improve their skills, so we hope our future mentee enters the process with an open mind and a willingness to truly consider feedback, even if it feels daunting. (For advice on handling an edit letter, click HERE!).
We do not expect our mentee to agree to suggestions that don’t ring true, but we do expect them to be open to critique, willing to consider suggestions, and committed to putting in the work. Being a mentee is excellent practice for working with an agent or editor, and that means being respectful and open to making changes, while also learning how to hold firm to your vision.
WHY YOU SHOULD PICK US!
We’re FUN! The two of us connected last year after the illustrious Pitchwars queen Ayana Gray read each of our debuts and said, “You two really need to be friends” and she was totally right! Since then, we’ve been shrieking in each other’s DMs almost daily, and entertaining our shared editor by planning fictional double-dates for our respective main characters on twitter when we’re supposed to be writing. We’d love to welcome a new writer into our world of gifs and risque jokes and we hope to make the PitchWars experience fun as well as enlightening.
We share a lot of strengths (our banter game is A+ and we both know how to build tension and finesse pacing) but we also have complementary strengths! (Emily is a boss at cutting words and paring prose–see this blogpost for some tips– and Lauren is fantastic at identify areas that need to be developed and knowing where to add words for maximum impact!)
We’ve learned from the best and we give 100%. We both have experience querying multiple books so we’ve honed those skills, and we both work with wonderful agents who sold our debuts in pre-empts to the badass editor responsible for bringing books like Where Dreams Descend and Red White and Royal Blue into the world, so we’ve been incredibly fortunate to learn from some truly amazing publishing minds.
If that isn’t enough to convince you, Emily has been called the “Fairy Godmother of Revision” by critique partners, and she’s pretty sure she was an editor in a past life. We love studying craft and we want to teach our mentee all the ways to capture a reader’s attention and keep them invested.
We are great at:
-Character development/dynamics: We love developing tension, shaping character arcs, and creating characters who feel like they could step off the page. We have a lot of fun (too much fun??) with romantic pairings especially, but those skills apply to other character dynamics as well, and we both feel that compelling characters are the true heart of any story.
–Dialogue: Well-crafted dialogue can accomplish as much with action tags, pauses, sentence structure, and words left unspoken as it can with what is spoken aloud, and we can help you take your dialogue skills to the next level.
–Pacing: We’re both pansters by nature, so we’ve learned how to use story maps and beat sheets to guide our revisions and to outline future books in partnership with our agents and editor, so we can help regardless of which approach our mentee takes. Plus, we know how to use tension, dialogue, humor, and setting to improve pacing, so we’re less likely to say “just cut all these scenes” and more likely to suggest ways to make the scenes you love feel more compelling.
Emily’s been a mentee, so she understand the highs and lows, and is ready to guide you through it all. She’s ready to work with you to figure out how to make this the best experience for you.
Lauren kicked butt in online pitch contests so she knows how to craft a compelling pitch that highlights the hook of your story, and she’s great at giving direct, honest feedback to help you make your work stronger.
In addition to providing an edit letter and helping you with your pitch and query, we’ll provide resources, give you the inside publishing scoop, and be a listening ear when you need to vent. We know what it’s like when the path to publication takes a few detours on the way, and we’re ready to support you on your journey.
Okay, we know why you’re all really here, so let’s do this already! This year, we’re accepting YA (and NA if you’re open to making adjustments that would help it fit into the YA crossover market.)
Both of our debuts are fantasy novels with romantic subplots, and we’re looking to mentor a book in the genres below that also has romantic elements (bonus points for a slow burn that makes us scream, “Just kiss already!”) So, ideally we’d like a high-concept story with some romance but where the stakes are higher than simply “will they or won’t they.”
Fantasy: High/Epic, Portal, Urban/Contemporary, Magical Realism, Paranormal, Historical, Alternate History
No surprise there!
We love fantasy with compelling, complex characters and fresh world building, where there’s a romantic element AND external stakes. Characters falling for each other (or trying not to) as the world burns? Heck yeah! And we really enjoy stories that combine elements from multiple genres. Fantasy thriller? Fantasy mystery? Fantasy RomCom? Yes, please!
Note: We tend to prefer stories where we can get really invested in a central group of characters, rather than a sprawling cast of thirty warring families and twelve kingdoms, so if your book has a cast to rival Game of Thrones, we might not be the best fit.
Science Fiction: Soft SciFi, SciFi Romance, Space Opera, Near Future, Dystopian/Post-Apocalyptic!
Space! Fantastical planets! Near-future Earth settings! Cool tech and their inevitable disasters! Dystopian worlds! Yes to all of of it!
We prefer SciFi that is more “accessible/ grounded (not literally— space is cool!) because we want to be able to connect with a character pretty quickly and we need to be able to grasp the basic gist of their world without needing a story almanac or a bunch of family trees to understand what’s going on.
Note: We’re not the best fit for military scifi or lots of time travel. A hop back in time a la Outlander is fine, but too many timelines make our heads hurt!
Adventure: A gender swapped The Mummy, YA Armageddon, or a field trip that turns into Speed 4? Yes! We are here for regular teens thrust into sudden peril, or young adults tackling their lifelong dream of a death-defying mission! Give us all that action, tension, and excitement!
Retellings: Lauren’s debut is an Ethiopian-inspired Jane Eyre retelling, so of course we love new twists on a familiar tale, especially if there’s a speculative element! We’re not the best fit for purely contemporary, real-world re-tellings, but if your Hamlet is a mermaid-hunter, or your Rapunzel has hair that kills instead of heals, hello, over here!
WHAT WE REALLY WANT
Okay, so now you know the genres we’re accepting, but what do we REALLY want to see within those categories? (This is the part where Emily adds gifs from our favorite movies.)
WE LOVE: character-driven, high-concept, fresh, immersive settings, and gorgeous writing. Plus, Lauren is Jamaican-American and Emily has ADHD so we are always excited about diverse casts and marginalized authors of all kinds, including but not limited to those who are BIPOC, LGBTQIA, disabled, and neurodiverse!
Excitement, tension, romance, humor! We want ALL the FEELINGS! If you can make us laugh, cry, bite our nails AND swoon, we’re hooked! So, if your manuscript combines some (or all!) of the following elements, WE WANT IT!
Escapism: we love a story/concept/setting that carries us away from the ordinary. SciFi and Fantasy obviously fit this, but we also like stories that *could* happen in the real world, but that most people could never experience, like being a bounty hunter, searching for lost treasure, or a hands-on internship at the CIA. The setting can be bright and beautiful or dark and gritty, as long as it’s interesting! Sweep us away to a whole new world and/or make me say “Oooooh, we wonder what that would be like!”
Humor: Not talking about corny jokes or slapstick absurdity, but if you pair a speculative premise with the kind of snappy dialogue and witty banter found in books like RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE, SERPENT & DOVE, or BEACH READ, give it to us right now, please and thank you!
Tension: Wether it’s rivals forced to work together, enemies to lovers, or a motley crew of strong personalities vying for position, we love books with interpersonal tension, so if you’ve got it and you want to learn how to develop more of it, hand over that manuscript!
Romance: Slow burn, enemies to lovers, opposites attract, friends to lovers (especially if they delight in tormenting/teasing each other), love at first sight (but with serious issues)
John and Jane give each other come-hither looks
Action/Excitement: Car chases, battles, ticking clocks.
SOME OF OUR FAVORITE THINGS
BOOKS: Serpent and Dove, This Savage Song, The Hating Game, Ninth House, This Mortal Coil, Red White and Royal Blue, ASOWAR, Legendborn, We Set the Dark on Fire, The Hunger Games, Where Dreams Descend, Hawksong, An Enchantment of Ravens, Daughter of Smoke and Bone,
MOVIES: Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Armageddon, Miss Congeniality, Independence Day, Jurassic Park, Thor: Ragnorok, 10 Things I Hate About You, The Mummy, Hook, The Day After Tomorrow, A Knight’s Tale, This Means War, Kate and Leopold, School of Rock, Serendipity, Pride and Prejudice
TV: Orphan Black, Schitt’s Creek, Ted Lasso (Roy and Keely are LIFE!) The Witcher (esp episodes with Jaskier), New Girl, The Good Place, Psych, Downton Abbey, North and South
(Common features? High concept, character-driven, fast-paced, witty dialogue, memorable characters/lines, romantic elements, smart humor)
ROMANTIC ELEMENTS (Just going to keep emphasizing this!): Do you have a SciFi with a duo like Roy/Keeley from Ted Lasso? A fantasy with the bantery swoons of Red White and Royal Blue? An adventure tale that young Brendan Fraser could have starred in? We need it!
WE’RE NOT THE BEST FIT FOR:
Quiet/Purely Contemporary Stories: (Unless there’s a super unusual concept/setting, or it tiptoes real close to speculative.)
Horror: Fantasy with some horror or horror-adjacent elements is fine, but if your book would primarily be categorized as horror, we’re probably not the best fit.
Alpha-hole love interests: We enjoy an angsty grump, but we’re not a fan of abusive jerks who are cruel to everyone except the MC they find attractive. A tragic backstory and good hair aren’t enough to redeem a puppy-kicking genocidal megalomaniac and we don’t enjoy toxic relationships portrayed as romantic.
(TW) Graphic on-page SA/abuse: We’re fine with characters who’ve endured abuse in the past or references to events that are mostly off-page, but we are not the right fit if your book features graphic scenes of rape or sexual assault, especially if it occurs to a secondary character merely as a plot device to motivate a male main character (ie, FRIDGED female chars) and ESPECIALLY if the victims are children.
Grimdark/Unadulterated Gloom: It’s not you, it’s us. We need a bit of light in the dark. Feel free to kill off characters, break our hearts, or conjure wicked monsters, as long as there are flashes of humor or joy to balance it out.
FINAL THOUGHTS FROM A FORMER MENTEE (Hi, it’s me, Emily!)
When I got into PitchWars, I thought it was my golden ticket, but my PitchWars book, along with the next book I wrote and revised through another mentorship, both ended up trunked, and I know that sounds depressing, but I would not change a thing. I mean it! we’re a stronger writer, a tougher person, and a much better friend than I might have been if the stars had aligned earlier, plus I ended up exactly where I want to be, with exactly the right book and exactly the right agent and editor, which wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t run into some hurdles along the way.
So, whether your manuscript gets chosen or not, you are the one who decides how to use each moment to further your goals. It’s never too early, and it’s never too late to reach for your dreams. Give your best effort, keep learning and striving, and keep your eyes on your own paper! Keep writing, friends!

this is not going to help the mail go any faster. yes and it is going to be effective may 14th. oh boy i just bought a roll of 100 of the 39 cents! ... so 7% hike will be about an additional 3 cents to the pot.
i wait in line an average of 15 minutes at the post office and sometimes when it is super busy 30 minutes and the paying booths are not full with postal worker taking your money. if they are going to put a hike on the stamps, they better hire more people and help move the line ... seriously you shouldn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to get your stuff mailed.
"The Postal Service has filed a rate case with the Postal Rate Commission (PRC) asking for a system-wide average rate increase of 8.5%. Standard mail rates would go up an average of 9%, while First-Class rates will rise an average 7.1%. This rate increase comes on the heels of a 5.4% increase in January 2006.
This is the first rate case the Postal Service has filed without reaching a negotiated settlement with mailers in more than five years. The full process of litigating this case before the PRC will likely take about ten months. It is expected that the new rates would take effect around May 2007."

Jose Mourinho was left with egg on his face as he took a tumble after conducting a ceremonial start in an international professional ice hockey league fixture.
The garlanded former Chelsea and Manchester United boss was a surprise guest at the Kontinental Hockey League match between Avangard and SKA in the Moscow region of Balashikha.
But shortly after dropping the ice hockey puck to get proceedings under way, the 56-year-old lost his footing on the red carpet and fell on his back.
The KHL had posted a series of pictures of Mourinho, sacked by United in mid-December as they sat 19 points adrift of Premier League leaders Liverpool at the time, taking in the surroundings and greeting players.
It is not the first time Mourinho has taken an awkward fall, with a video of the Portuguese going viral when he buckled while attempting to jump over a rope barrier at Wembley shortly before England’s 2-1 defeat to Spain in September.
Mourinho made light of that incident as he later told a press conference while still United boss: “I did it on purpose so (the media) could speak a little bit about myself.”

Fort Defiance is located in Red Hook, and although it can be quite the trip to get out there, it’s worth it for the brunch. The quaint little restaurant sits on the corner of Van Brunt and Dikeman streets. My friend Maya and I ordered the Biscuit Egg Sandwich, which consists of a cheddar biscuit with ham, jalapeno jam, and an egg. The biscuits were perfect! We also ordered a side of the most delicious collard greens were sweetened with caramelized onions, and elevated with a hint of lemon zest and coriander. To accompany our southern brunch we ordered the Creole red beans that were creamy with bits of andouille sausage mixed in. At the end of our meal, we walked back to Cobble Hill with full bellies and big smiles.

Membrane and secretory proteins can be co-translationally inserted into or translocated across the membrane. This process is dependent on signal sequence recognition on the ribosome by the signal recognition particle (SRP), which results in targeting of the ribosome-nascent-chain complex to the protein-conducting channel at the membrane. Here we present an ensemble of structures at subnanometre resolution, revealing the signal sequence both at the ribosomal tunnel exit and in the bacterial and eukaryotic ribosome-SRP complexes. Molecular details of signal sequence interaction in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic complexes were obtained by fitting high-resolution molecular models. The signal sequence is presented at the ribosomal tunnel exit in an exposed position ready for accommodation in the hydrophobic groove of the rearranged SRP54 M domain. Upon ribosome binding, the SRP54 NG domain also undergoes a conformational rearrangement, priming it for the subsequent docking reaction with the NG domain of the SRP receptor. These findings provide the structural basis for improving our understanding of the early steps of co-translational protein sorting.

The Development of Free Jazz All music has to develop into something new and by the late 1950’s jazz was ready for a slight turn. A musical style called free jazz emerged with slight differences that has influenced most improvised music to this day. Some people despised this music’s lack of set form. They found it difficult to listen to because of the missing order and lack of pre-planed notes.
Others embraced the new music and it’s emphasis on random feelings of emotion. For the men that developed free jazz it was a journey to find the “ultimate” expression in music. There is no set definition for free jazz. “In free jazz, musicians improvise freely without adherence to time keeping patterns, conventional solo versus accompaniment roles, or the preset arrangement of harmonies (a chord progression) that commonly guided improvisation in earlier styles.(”Free Jazz” Encyclopedia Britannica Online)” Ornette Coleman, one of the leading men in free jazz, when asked the definition of free jazz said “In most music the composition determines the song, in free jazz, however, the song determines the composition.” By this he means that in free jazz the song depends on what is going on around the musician instead of already determined notes.
People could say that that is true with improvised music in general but in much of improvised music there are set chord progressions that limit the notes that can be played at certain times. Free jazz brought about a more open and natural type of improvisation in music. There are a few major common elements in free jazz. Some times the music is based on the moment. The musician would play based on the mood in the room.
He would ignore the chords and rhythms of the piece and use the energy in the room to make the piece best for that particular time. Sometimes there is collective improvisation in which some or all of the musicians are improvising at the same time. This is difficult because the musicians do not know what the other musicians are going to play next. And sometimes there is an odd or free time signature, and then music does not follow a strict tempo. A good example of this is mentioned in the book All you need is Love: the story of popular music. It says “Ornette Coleman… slowed down or speeded up the tempo of his quartet at will, thus destroying all sense of regular meter or symmetry.” These ideas developed over time in certain musicians and later other musicians learned these styles from them.
It is difficult to tell the history behind of free jazz with the many men that helped develop it. There were two men mainly credited with developing this style: Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane. Both men had separate careers but both created his own kind of free jazz. Ornette Coleman was best known for free jazz. His Album Free Jazz is where the name of this music was derived.
Inspired by the music of Charlie Parker, Coleman started playing alto saxophone at 14 in 1944. When he started playing he made a mistake when reading the music. This mistake made him look at harmony and pitch differently.He later learned how to play the tenor saxophone and played in an R&B band. People didn’t like his playing because it was not proper blues.
After playing with a couple of other bands he took work not related to music but still studied music theory. In the Mid 50’s he found other musicians that respected his ideas. Doing some recordings he formed the Coleman Quartet and started playing at the New York’s Spot Cafe. He later recorded several albums including Free Jazz. By the end of the 60’s Coleman added electric guitars to his music and formed the band Prime Time.
He called his music “Harmolodics” to symbolize the equal importance of harmony, melody and rhythm. Born in 1926, Coltrane played the alto saxophone at the Ornstein School of music in Philadelphia. He was influenced by the music that was later known as R&B. Starting his career he played with a couple big bands. While playing for Dizzy Gillespie Big band he switched to the tenor saxophone. While Coltrane was playing with the Miles Davis band in 1955, Davis was criticized for his choice of a saxophonist because of Coltrane’s awkward sound.
He was fired from Davis’s Band because of his heroin problems. That gave Coltrane the awakening he needed. He quit heroin and focused on his art. He worked with many well-know artists and released some recordings as a leader instead of a sideman.
As his music evolved he studied world religions and music of different cultures allowing him to add more “flavor” to jazz. In the mid 60’s he emphasized more on expression and put more aggressiveness in his music known as avant-garde, which is like free jazz. During the 50’s and 60’s men like Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, and others developed a form of jazz know as free jazz that “violated traditional structures, tonalities, forms, chord sequences, modes of improvisation, rhythms, and even the tempered scale. (”Free Jazz” Dictionary of American Pop/Rock)” Some people do not like it because of it’s “total disorder.” Free jazz took classical jazz and brought it into the modern era.

Not known Factual Statements About Geothermal Heat Pump for Home(The ground supply is warmer in climates that want powerful air con, and cooler in climates that will need sturdy heating.)
Just like regular heat pumps, the refrigerant inside of a geothermal heat pump runs in a loop through a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, accumulating heat at one particular conclusion and offering it up at the other. The route of refrigerant movement, and that is controlled via the reversing valve, decides no matter whether heat is moving into your house in winter (proven) or becoming pulled from it in summer months.
When you are searching Ingram's H2o and Air Site, you might recognize that there are "single stage" and "dual phase"or "two-stage" geothermal heat pumps.
Dual stage geothermal heat pumps tend to be more flexible and might possibly lower your expenses Ultimately. There are numerous rewards to obtaining the twin phase geothermal procedure. Nonetheless Here are a few circumstances where only one stage are going to be ample and there's no require to spend the extra money.
Nonetheless, in the event of leakage There may be nearly no chance of contaminating the ground or the ground h2o. Opposite to h2o-resource geothermal devices, immediate Trade systems will not have antifreeze. So, in case of a refrigerant leakage, the refrigerant at this time Employed in most techniques - R-410A – would straight away vaporize and find the atmosphere.
", and "At what level will the twin phase heat pump have saved sufficient Electricity (money) to have already been worthy of paying a lot more?" These are definitely concerns Ingram's H2o and Air can help solution for you personally.

When you need cooling essentially the most, the skin air is hottest. A traditional air source heat pump need to work hard to power the heat out of your home into the previously heat saturated air.
One stage heat pumps use an individual amount of transfer at all times for the duration of Procedure. On the other hand, dual stage geothermal heat pumps, also called a two phase, use two diverse premiums of transfer.
Determined by latitude, the temperature beneath the higher 6 metres (twenty ft) of Earth's surface maintains a virtually regular temperature involving ten and sixteen °C (fifty and sixty °File),[three] When the temperature is undisturbed through the presence of a heat pump. Like a refrigerator or air conditioner, these units use a heat pump to pressure the transfer of heat from the bottom. Nearby companies Heat pumps can transfer heat from a neat space to some warm Area, from the natural path of stream, or they are able to boost the pure stream of heat from a warm location to some amazing one. The Main with the heat pump can be a loop Best contractor of refrigerant pumped via a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that moves heat. Air-resource heat pumps are usually additional efficient at heating than pure electrical heaters, regardless if extracting heat from cold Winter season air, although efficiencies begin dropping substantially as outdoors air temperatures drop underneath 5 °C (forty one °F).
The web thermal performance of a heat pump must take into consideration the performance of energy generation and transmission, normally about 30%. Due to the fact a heat pump moves 3 to five occasions more heat energy than the electrical energy it consumes, the total Vitality output is far larger when compared to the electrical input.

The main focus of my research is on the years up to 1891. However, I am occasionally sent items concerning later years. This page collects those up together.
March Grammar School
The earliest reference to March Grammar School I have found so far is from 1863:
“3 July 1863 at March. March G S v Eleven Young Men of Chatteris. March G S 85 & 63; Chatteris 28 & 56 (Cambridge Chronicle 11 July 1863 p 8.”
There may be an indication of the school having some sort of a reputation already in this item from the same year:
“In reference to a challenge…..to the March Cricket Club, from the second eleven of Wisbech, we beg to say that it is not the practice of our club to accept challenges from second elevens; but if you think it worth while to come over to March, the members of March Grammar School Cricket Club will be quite ready at any time to oblige you…”
John Phythian asked me to share the following concerning cricket at March Grammar School:
|Cambridgeshire Times 4 July 1919.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL MEMORIAL – An interesting cricket match has been arranged to take place on Tuesday next at 11 o’clock on the Grammar School field between teams representing the newly formed Grammar School Old Boys Association (Captained by W Nurse) and the present masters and boys of the School. Free Admission will be given to the field, but a collection will be taken during the interval, the proceeds of which will be devoted to the proposed Old Boys’ war memorial. The Secretary informs us that £100 has already been subscribed for this purpose, but it is hoped that amount will eventually be doubled.
|Report from the school magazine the Mercian Summer 1919:
The match was played on a day when one might have been thinking of football rather than cricket. During the morning it was doubtful whether the rain would hold off throughout the day, but it was decided to play the game. The match began with the Old Boys batting. They looked a pretty burly team, but thanks to excellent, steady bowling of A Newton and A Butcher and the smart fielding of our team, their wickets came down one after another, and they finished their innings with a score of 28. Then the School team began their innings, but had to face some very unexpected bowling by W Johnson. Nevertheless, the team as a whole acquitted itself very well, and stood up manfully against the bowling. On the 2nd innings the Old Boys made 87 and the School 52. It is to be hoped that these matches between the Present and Old Boys will take place each year and form a link between the present and bygone days. RS
Report of the cricket match from the Cambridgeshire Times 11 July 1919:
|On Tuesday a match was played on the Grammar School field between the Old Boys and Present Boys of the Grammar School. During the first innings the Old Boys’ team batted first and the last wicket fell when the score was 28. This reflects very credibly on the bowling of the present boys. The School then went in and made a total of 16 against very severe bowling by W. Johnson. In the second innings of the Old Boys, a score of 87 was made, 30 runs of which were contributed by E.H. Gee. The School made 52 in their second innings. The fielding and bowling throughout were very consistent and the batting good considering the poor light during the whole day. A very friendly spirit was noticeable all through the game, which it is to hoped will be the beginning of a series of games between the Past and Present Boys of March Grammar School. First innings scores:
|E H Gee c Young b Butcher 2
|Mr W H Claypoole b W Johnson 0
|E Johnson b Newton 1
|M C G Wilson b W Johnson 1
|I Web b Newton 1
|Mr H C Hooper b W Johnson 0
|R Golden b Newton 0
|H Butcher b W Johnson 0
|W Johnson b Newton 7
|K Kemp b W Johnson 1
|W Nurse b Newton 12
|A Newton run out 5
|B Aveling b Newton 1
|E Young b R Golden 0
|E Phillips c Mr Wilson b Newton 0
|B Shaw c T Cave b W Johnson 0
|T Cave c Kemp b Butcher 2
|G Newton c E Johnson b R Golden 0
|A Burton not out 0
|H Rains c and b W Nurse
|R Jelly (substitute) b Butcher 1
|A Fox not out 2
The Master remembered
During Essex’s Alastair Cook and Middlesex’s Andrew Strauss mammoth 188-run opening partnership in the recent first Test of the Ashes in Brisbane they past a record many believed would not be broken. When Cook uncharacteristically snicked one through a gap at third slip he carried the pairing to the highest aggregate by any England opening partnership, eclipsing the figure of 3,249 amassed by Cambridge’s number one sporting son Sir Jack Hobbs and his partner Herbert Sutcliffe.
Born Brewhouse Lane, off Gwydir Street, in 1882, the eldest of 12 children, Hobbs learned his cricket on the hallowed greens of Jesus College and Fenner’s, where his father was on the ground staff, and Parker’s Piece where he later played First Class cricket for Cambridgeshire.
Largely self taught, Hobbs would practice cricket with his father’s work colleagues in the morning and then watch cricket at Fenner’s in the afternoon, where at the time the great Ranjitsinhji played whilst studying at Cambridge. Together with the wristy Indian, Hobbs other idol was a Cambridge man, Tom Hayward, then at Surrey, and to Hobbs’ delight it was Hayward who recommended Hobbs to Surrey at the tender age of 17.
In Hobbs’ first game for his new county he made 88 and was watched by another cricketing legend in W.G. Grace who wryly surmised: “He’s goin’ to be a good’un.” Little did Grace know that Hobbs would go on the smash Grace’s world record of 126 centuries, making 199 tons by the time he retired at the grand old age of 52 and still holds the record for the oldest man to score a Test hundred.
Like modern-day great of English cricket, Freddie Flintoff and and Kevin Pietersen included, it was the battles between the old enemy Australia that Hobbs saved his greatest performances where he scored over 3,600 runs including 12 centuries, which are both still records and probably will never be broken.
In a time when cricket was still dominated by the gentlemen amateurs, Hobbs was a professional, receiving his first payment of half a guinea per game whilst at Bedford Grammar. He would go on to the the first paid cricketer to be knighted.
Of course the enduring memorial in Cambridge is the Hobbs Pavilion on Parker’s Piece, built by public subscription in 1925 to celebrate Hobbs beating Grace’s record of centuries. To commemorate this and demonstrate his strong Cambridge roots, Hobbs brought a star studded team to play, including Sutcliffe and numerous internationals to play against a Cambridgeshire XI, raising £292 for Addenbrookes hospital.
It was fitting therefore that at the end of the current season a series of games were played on Parker’s Piece by Cambridge NCI, the current custodians of the cricket on the famous city centre green, to mark the 70th anniversary of the Pavilion, and a collection was also made for the hospital.
The customary red-tape was cut by the Lord Mayor of Cambridge, unveiling a detailed display of Hobbs’ life and cricket career assembled by local historians, and was followed by two Twenty20 games of cricket, enthusiastically played by NCI players.
Despite the current accolades being paid to England’s Cook and his opening partner Strauss, Hobbs and Sutcliffe batted together for England on only 38 occasions, less than half of what it took the current incumbents to break the record, and the masters from yesteryear partnership average is over double their modern day counterparts (87.81 to 42.68).
There can be no better fitting tribute to Sir Jack that one of the 21st Century’s icons of cricket, the illustrious Indian Sachin Tendulkar was nicknamed the ‘Little Master’ in homage to the stylish Hobbs who was and will be forever known as the ‘The Master’.

Bosnia has a difficult history to understand and explicate in a research paper. Have the world history writers custom write you a research paper on Bosnia and tailor it to any era in Bosnian history you need.
It would seem no one had heard of Bosnia prior to 1992. It was about that time that the Bosnia-Herzegovina became an independent state recognized by the European Community. Prior to that time Bosnia, Serbia and Croatia were names which were from the history books of early this century. However, Bosnia has a long history that stretches over centuries reaching as far back as the history of nearly any nation. That history is clearly described in the a Bosnia research paper from Paper Masters.
Origins of Bosnia
A Bosnia research paper begins with the ancient origins and myths of the people who lived in the region we now call Bosnia. As the Bosnia term paper notes Racial history is the core of trouble in the Balkans. Being at the crossroad between Europe and the Middle East, there were conquests, migrations, and intermarriages. Some of the groups that came through included:
- The Goths
- Iranian Alans
While Bosnia was part of Serbia, linked with Croatia, under the thumb of Byzantine rule and increasingly torn between Orthodox and Catholic influences. From these earliest times to the present, the area of Bosnia has been in the middle of major power wars or fighting among its own people. Despite those wars and during the periods of peace Bosnia has been a prosperous nation being rich in natural resources and an energetic people. Bosnia's main advantage was the remoteness of the villages and ruggedness of the land. Despite the difficulty in conquering the land, the Bosnia region did come under the influence of Hungry and of Roman Catholicism. There were many conflicts with its neighbors to win independence as a nation. Despite all its efforts by the end of this period the Turks took the Balkans after its conquest of the Byzantine Empire, making a second Islamic presence in Europe.

Europe - Europe research papers examine the geographical perceptions that contributed to the misleading notion of Europe as a simply-defined geographical unit and discuss the more accurately diverse and fragmented community and history of Europe.
Western Europe - Western Europe essays examine this geographical and a political designation.
