Marnia Lazreg — a trailblazing Hunter College Sociology professor — died January 13 in New York City. She was 83.
Lazreg’s association with Hunter College and CUNY goes back more than half a century. She first taught Sociology at Hunter in the early 1970s while completing her dissertation. After stints teaching at the New School, Sarah Lawrence and Hampshire colleges, and several fellowships, she returned to Hunter for a tenure track position in 1988. She also taught at the Graduate Center, where she was a Distinguished Fellow in the Academic Research Collaborative, and was a faculty associate in the Human Rights Program at Roosevelt House. She retired in September 2023.
Lazreg also worked full time for several years coordinating the World Bank’s efforts to incorporate women into its lending programs in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and served as a longtime consultant to the United Nations. She received academic fellowships from Harvard, the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton, Brown, and the Rockefeller Bellagio Center, to name a few, and was recently honored by the Society of Foreign Consuls in New York for her lifetime contribution to community empowerment.
A gifted theorist, Lazreg wrote six academic books and contributed dozens of articles to academic journals and edited volumes. She also published a French-language novel, The Awakening of the Mother (2019), under a pen name.
The unifying theme of almost all of Lazreg’s scholarly work, as she explained in a 2020 essay, was Algeria. As an Algerian in a colonial school system that taught only French history, she wrote, “writing about Algeria is an endless discovery of a history I was never taught.”
Lazreg grew up as a colonized subject of France and was one of the few Algerians — and even fewer Algerian women — to obtain the French Baccalauréat degree. She did so at the height of France’s slaughter and and horrific torture of hundreds of thousands of civilians during the Algerian war for independence.
In The Emergence of Classes in Algeria (1976), Lazreg argued that Algeria’s post-independence socialism paradoxically had created a class system in the wake of a colonial experience in which class differences had melted under the pressure of collective subjugation.
In The Eloquence of Silence (1994), widely recognized as a classic, Lazreg destroyed the myth of Muslim women as passive, oppressed subjects in need of liberation, detailing the resistance offered by Algerian women to the systems of domination trained against them, not least that of Western colonialism.
In Torture and the Twilight of Empire (2008), Lazreg investigated French intellectuals’ defense of torture and the French military’s conduct of torture in Algeria against the backdrop of Abu Ghraib and the War on Terror. The book, one of few to look at torture not as a particular policy or method, but as a mode of thought, is the leading historical account of the use of torture by the French in Algeria.
In Questioning the Veil (2009), an erudite and personal work, Lazreg rejected the Muslim practice of veiling for women, which has resurged in recent years. She argued that there are better ways for women to demonstrate pride in their culture than by wearing a piece of cloth that links their identity to their biology.
In her next book, Foucault’s Orient (2017), she critiqued the attitudes toward non-western cultures in the work of pioneering French social theorist Michel Foucault. The product of sustained engagement with two fields in which Lazreg had never published before — philosophy and anthropology — the book is a reflection of Lazreg’s great intellectual range and virtuosity.
In her last book, Islamic Feminism and the Discourse of Post-Liberation (2021), Lazreg brought together three themes from her earlier work — women, Islam, and colonialism — in critiquing attempts by some Muslim countries to ground progress on women’s roles in Quranic texts as opposed to secular rights.
Lazreg thought globally, worked globally, and spoke globally. When not in the classroom, she could be found interviewing a commander of Islamist rebels in a safehouse outside of Algiers, visiting shanty towns in Turkey on mission for the World Bank, conversing with an old friend of Foucault’s at a café in Tokyo, or lecturing around the world.
Lazreg was an intellectually restless teacher. Over the course of her career, she taught more than 20 different courses, many of her own creation. In addition to her staple survey courses on social theory, Lazreg taught courses on women, population, Islam, decolonization, development, French social theory, and biotechnology. She was a demanding teacher whose favorite undergraduate student evaluation read: “the problem with Professor Lazreg is that she treats us as adults.”
Lazreg received her baccalaureate in Philosophy and Mathematics, with distinction, in 1960, her Licence-ès-Lettres in English Literature from the University of Algiers in 1966, and her PhD in Sociology from NYU in 1974. A Fulbright Scholar in 2012, she was also a member of the Seminar in Arabic Studies at Columbia University for 35 years.
She is survived by two sons, Ramsi Woodcock (from whose tribute to his mother this obituary is adapted) and Reda Woodcock, and other family.

Are you planning to install a new patio that you can surround with some fascinating shrubs? Or you might require a massive outdoor area for entertainment that would allow individuals to come together and share their culinary expertise. You might get concerned about the security of food and wish to grow further edible perennials, trees, and shrubs. Irrespective of what your concern is, you now have the chance to Design a Garden Online with the help of professionals who can help create the ideal strategy for the distinctive outdoor spaces you have.
You have the opportunity to come across the remote garden designs that have evolved as the rising trend, mixing the real beauty of nature with the ease of convenience of modern technologies. Let us go through a couple of facts.
Virtual Consultations To Meet The Gap
The remote harden designs start with virtual consultations. You need not stay confined through any geographical limitations with the garden fanatics connecting to professional designers right from your home. These experts use virtual reality tools, emails, and video calls to share the choices, ideas, and details of the site, making the entire process of design more inclusive and easy to access.
No longer do you have to depend on your imagination. The advancement of digital visualization tools can help clients witness the design of their gardens to breathe life into them before they plant a single seed. Virtual walkthroughs and 3D renderings offer real previews that enable better adjustment before the real implementation.
Smart Selection of Plants
The remote garden designers would start leveraging their technologies to analyze the different environmental factors, including the soil conditions, climates, and exposure to sunlight. They recommend a well-curated list of the plants thriving across the distinctive environments with the help of the data. It is the smart pick for the plants that would ensure better sustainability with the flourishing garden harmonizing with the entire surroundings.
The remote garden designer often emphasizes eco-friendly and sustainable practices. They would start integrating technology to recommend water-efficient irrigation systems, eco-conscious materials, and energy-saving lighting modes. It is advantageous to the plant; however, it matches with the evolving trend of the eco-conscious lifestyle.
Guidance to the DIY Enthusiasts
After you have a design finalized, the experience of remote gardening continues. Numerous designers are offering an extensive implementation of DIY guidance with the help of step-wise guides, instructional videos, and real-time support. It would aid in empowering the people to take charge of their gardening projects to foster a better sense of connection and accomplishment in a much greener space.
Remote Maintenance And Monitoring
Technology moves beyond just the phase of the designs. The remote monitoring systems would allow every gardener to keep a watch on the plants with the help of smart devices and sensors. Weather monitoring, automated irrigation systems, and soil health analysis often contribute to informed and potential maintenance to ensure the garden is thriving.


My mill is already a big one (Maho from the 80s). On friday I will get a new one, which is even bigger, it weighs several tons. Same age, same old control. I wonder if I can replace the control with something machinekit like, i.e. build a "Direct FreeCAD mill".

With many news site recently carrying the news that there's no flash in ICS, Adobe has just confirmed that ICS will indeed be getting Flash before the end of the year and with that being said, ICS will be the very last mobile OS to have flash. Adobe will still continue to provide patches for Flash but moving forward, there will be no more Flash for the Android Platform.
This would mean that Google has to probably bring HTML 5 to the table for the next Android release OR perhaps adobe has some future plans in replacing flash with something else? As they said, time will tell. Sooner or later. Time will tell.

Fast-Moving Sooners Shock No. 2 WSU
WICHITA, Kan. - In a rare fast-paced college baseball game, Oklahoma posted a rare win at Eck Stadium.
OU defeated second-ranked Wichita State 3-2 in front of 4,165 fans Tuesday night in a game that took just 2 hours and 17 minutes to play.
Wichita State, which had been ranked No. 1 all season, dropped to No. 2 this week after dropping two of three games last weekend at Creighton. It was just the Shockers' second home loss this season after having a 41-game home-field winning streak snapped last week.
"That was a good win for us," OU coach Larry Cochell said. "We needed to beat a good club. We lost three games to Texas and some other games that we had chances to win. We had to play better than we have. We played good defense and got good pitching. " WSU coach Gene Stephenson was irate with an eighth-inning call that cost the Shockers the tying run.
Following two-out singles by Chris Wimmer and Todd Dreifort, Doug Mirabelli hit a high hopper to deep third. Greg Norton threw to second, and umpire Dennis Walker ruled Norton's throw beat Dreifort.
"There's no question in my mind he was there, but that's not what beat us. What beat us is we didn't make routine plays," Stephenson said. "This is the worst I've seen us in many, many years. We've got to get some leadership. We're not near tough enough to be competively nationally. " Stephenson's tirade is partially due to a recent slump. The Shockers, 31-5, have lost four of their last six.
Stephenson was more upset with how the go-ahead run scored in the top of the sixth. Two errors on one play by WSU shortstop Chris Wimmer allowed Brian Eldridge to score all the way from first.
Wimmer mishandled Rich Hills' ground ball and hurridly threw wildly to second trying to force Eldridge, who had reached on a two-out infield single. The ball rolled all the way down the right-field line allowing Eldridge to score.
The Sooners, 27-15, planned to use a committee of pitchers and wound up using three. Damen Gardner, who pitched three shutout innings in relief of Scott Moore, improved to 3-0.
Zak Krislock picked up his fourth save, giving up just two hits in the final two innings.
The Shockers expect to see another by committee pitching strategy when they host No. 8 Oklahoma State tonight at 7. Starting pitcher Mike Brandley, from Moore, was the hard-luck loser. Brandley, 2-2, gave up eight hits and three runs in 72/3 innings, but only two runs were earned.
The Sooners tied it at 2-all in the fifth when Britt Bonneau drilled a long solo home run, his eighth. BIOG: NAME:

Carter B. Horsley
major auction of the
Spring 2006 season, this antiquities auction at Christie's June
16 is larger and stronger than the antiquities auction at Sotheby's
that, unusually, was held much earlier in the month.
auction has several notable
works including an Egpyptian blue faience hippopotamus, a wonderful
gilded bronze Roman statue of a warrior, a marvelous two-headed
Anatolian marble idol and an interesting group of Bactrian objects.
shown above, is the
Egyptian blue faience hippopotamus, Middle Kingdom, Dynasty XIII,
1783-1640 B.C., 4 1/2 inches long. It is similar to Willy, a similar
piece, albeit in finer condition, that is the "mascot"
of the Metropolitan Museum of art. This hippopotamus was once
broken at the head and is missing an ear. It has an estimate of
$150,000 to $250,000. It was passed at $140,000, one of many
major works in the auction that failed to sell.
is an Egyptian limestone
relief fragment depicted a seated official wearing an array of
adornments including a double strand of the "gold of honor."
It is dated to the New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII, late reign of Amenhotep
III, 1361-1353. B.C. It is 17 1/8 inches high. It has a modest
estimate of $15,000 to $18,000. It sold for $50,400 including
the buyer's premium as do all results mentioned in this article.
is a superb Egyptian
bronze statue of Osiris that is dated Late Period, Dynasty XXVI-XXX,
664-343 B.C. It is 18 3/16 inches high and is finely modeled with
a nice patina. It has a conservative estimate of $50,000 to $70,000.
It sold for $78,000.
the finest works in
the auction is Lot 43, a two-headed Anatolian marble idol that
is 4 3/4 inches high. It is dated circa late 3rd Millennium B.C.
The lot has an estimate of $30,000 to $40,000. It sold for
is an impressive Late
Vinca terracotta figure from the Neolithic Period, circa 5th Millennium
B.C. It is 5 inches high and has a modest estimate of $2,000 to
$3,000. It sold for $4,560.
the most interesting
early works is Lot 20, a Bactrian stone ritual object that is
55 1/2 inches high. Dark gray in color and cylindrical in form
it is tapered to flat ends. It is slightly curved and extremely
impressive. It is dated circa late 3rd to early 2nd Millennium
B.C., the same period as the more common, and equally beautiful,
Bactrian waisted cylindrical objects topped with grooves. It has
a very modest estimate of $3,000 to $4,000. It sold for
work from the same
period is Lot 24, a West Central Asian gold spouted bowl with
a zoomorphic handle in the form of a camel protome. The work is
13 1/16 nches long and has an estimate of $150,000 to $250,000.
It is listed as Bactria-Margiana. It was passed at $110,000.
Another good work from this
period is Lot 25,
a Western Asiatic female votive. The copper or bronze figure is
6 3/4 inches high and has an estimate of $50,000 to $80,000.
It was passed at $38,000.
is a 22 3/8-inch-wide
Neo-Assyrian glazed brick merlon that is 22 3/8 inches wide. It
is dated circa 8th-7th Century B.C., and has an estimate of $200,000
to $300,000. It was passed at $150,000.
is a highly stylized
and impressive Etruscan thymiaterion depicting a dancing castanet
player that was once in the Christos G. Bastis Collection and
sold at Sotheby's in the fall of 1999 for $222,500. On the head
of the player is the stem of an incense bowl. A similar work is
in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. It has an estimate
of $300,000 to $500,000. It was passed at $260,000.
is a Roman bronze Hekateion,
circa 2nd Century A.D. Kekate was, according to the catalogue,
"a chthonic goddess who was asssociated with the ghost world.
as sich, she came to offer protection at the crossroads, from
the known path to the unknown. Her visages were apotropaic and
were placed at city gates and domestic doorways. Her aspects were
synchretistic, often incorporating the roles of Diana and Luna.
The triple-bodied composition of the goddess Hekate is recorded
as an innovation by the Greek sculpture Alkamenese in 430 B.C.
for the bastion of the Temple of Athena Nike on the Athenian
the Roman Period, the three figures came to embody the cycles
of nature: here shown as three distinct stages of human life ....The
present example closely resembles a Hekateion now in Trieste...on
which one aspect of the goddess is shown crowned with a crescent
moon." The lot has an estimate of $200,000 to $300,000. It
failed to sell.
bronzes that are finely
modelled are prized by many collectors and those that gilt bronze
even more so. Lot 262 is a very fine "Mars Ultor" Roman
gilt bronze, circa late 1st-2nd Century A.D. It is 7 inches high
and has an estimate of $70,000 to $90,000. It sold for
The cult-statue of Mars Ultor is best known from a restored colossal
marble statue from the Forum of Nerva now in the Capitoline Museum
of the finest lots
at Christie's December 18, 1998 Antiquities auction did not sell,
including lot 129, shown above, the superbly cast Hellenistic
or Roman bronze lion protome, circa 1st Century B.C.-1st Century
A.D, 17 1/2 inches long. At that auction, it had an estimate of
$150,000 to $200,000. The catalogue for that auction noted that
its origin is not clear: "The sharp left turn of the lion's
head suggests that it was once paired with a symmetrical counterpart.
Such a pair of heavy bronze lions may have been attached to the
cat-head of a ship, which is a curved timber projecting from each
bow for securing an anchor. Although it is possible that this
piece could have ornamented a chariot or piece of furniture, the
great size and weight advocates more strongly in favor of use
on a ship." In this auction, it has a modest estimate of
$100,000 to $150,000. It sold for $98,000.
is a nice Roman marble
relief of Mithras Tauroctonus that is 34 3/4 inches wide. It is
dated circa late 2nd Century A.D, and has an estimte of $200,000
to $300,000. It failed to sell. It was once in the
Collection in New York. According to the catalogue, "among
the corpus of surviving Mithraic tauroctonies, the present relief
is extraordinary for the state of preservation, quality and scale."
The scene represents the struggle between good and evil and life
and death and "the players have been interpreted as constellations."
is a very good Roman
bronze handle with a lion and lioness eating a doe. The handle
is 5 3/16 inches long and is circa 2nd Century A.D. It has a modest
estimate of $4,000 to $6,000. It sold for $2,400.
dramatic and unusual
Roman bronze handle is Lot 254, which depicts a reclining nymph,
perhaps Ariadne, as she awakens from a dream of Dionysus on the
island of Naxos, supporting herself atop a grape leaf. She is
nude except for a mantle rolled over her hips. The handle terminates
in a bust of Dionysis with a weath in his wavy hair. The lot has
a conservative estimate of $10,000 to $15,000. It sold for
conventional Roman bronze
is Lot 258, a very nice representation of Minerva that is 4 1/8
inches high. It is dated circa 1st-2nd Century A.D. and has a
modest estimate of $5,000 to $7,000. It had a hammer price
is the De Clerq Venus,
a Roman marble statue of Venus that is 47 inches high and dated
circa 2nd Century A.D. It has an estimate of $300,000 to $500,000.
It was passed at $280,000.
is the De Clerq Cupid,
a 59 1/2-inch high Roman marble statue that is also dated circa
2nd Century A. D. It has an estimate of $80,000 to $100,000. It
was passed at $75,000.
is the Lansdowne Hermaphroditus,
a Roman marble statue that is 43 3/16 inches long. It has an estimate
of $300,000 to $500,000. It was passed at $260,000.
is a very impressive
head of Mars Ultor. The Roman marble is dated circa late 2nd Century
A.D., and is 12 1/4 inches high. It was formerly with Robin Symes
in London and The Merrin Gallery in New York. It has an estimate
of $50,000 to $70,000. It sold for $90,000.
auction has a good selection
of Greek vases.
is an impressive Apulian
pottery figural vase in the form of a hippocamp and the catalogue
notes that this hippocamp "differs from standard Greek depictions
of the mystical creature in that it has fins instead of equine
forelegs." It is 7 1/2 inches long and has an estimate of
$50,000 to $70,000. It sold for $144,000.
is a good Attic black-figured
neck-amphora that is attributed to the Princeton Group and is
dated circa 540 B.C. It is 13 inches high and depicts Herakles
wresting the Nemean lion. It is one of many works in the auction
that was once in the collection of Alfred E. Mirsky. It has an
estimate of $50,000 to $70,000. It sold for $48,000. The
catalogue notes that "as punishment for killing his wife
and children in a fit of insanity, Herakles was sentenced by the
oracle of Apollo to serve Eurystheus, the king of Tiryns and Mycenae,
for twelve years. As part of his sentence, Eurystheus required
that Herakles complete twelve seemingly impossible labors - the
first of which was to bring back the skin of the lion terrorizing
the hills around Nemea."
and 40 are South Arabian
alabaster heads that are dated circa 1st Century B.C.-1st Century
A.D., and both are 10 1/2 inches high. The catalogue notes that
they are unfinished on top and back and were once fitted with
gypsum and set in a niche on an inscribed limestone stela. Lot
39 was acquired in South Arabia in 1972 and has a modest estimate
of $8,000 to $12,000. It sold for $14,400. Lot 40
in South Arabia 1958-9 and was exhibited at the Birmingham City
Art Gallery and Museum from 1960 to 1970. It has an estimate of
$100,000 to $150,000. It sold for $192,000.
the many disappointments
in this auction, there were some surprises. Lot 28 consisted of
a Mesopotamian terracotta cunieform envelope and tablet, 1 15/16
inches and 1 3/8 inches long, respectively. They were dated Ur
III, Reign of Amar-Suen, Year 5, circa 2043. The lot, which was
once in the collection of Lord Amherst of Hackney, had an estimate
of $1,200 to $1,800. It sold for $10,800.
36 was an Achaemenid
limestone relief fragment depicted the head of a bearded nobleman
in profile, circa 522-465 B.C. It was one of many objects in the
auction that was property from the collection of Alfred E. Mirsky
that was being sold for the benefit of the Graduate Student Program
of the Rockefeller University. The object is 8 1/4 inches high
and had an estimate of $150,000 to $250,000. It sold for $329,000.
178 is an handsome Egyptian
red granite male head, Third Intermediate Period, Dynasty XXI-XXII,
1070-712 B.C. The lot had an estimate of $8,000 to $12,000. It
sold for $28,800.
175 is an Egyptian glass
heart amulet, New Kingdom, Dynasty XIX, 1307-1196 B.C. It had
an estimate of $4,000 to $6,000 and sold for $12,000. It is 2
1/4 inches high.

Many people are looking at planning their holidays, trips and short breaks now that summer is approaching. Unbeknown to some, many destinations have wonderful hidden gems and secret places to visit, away from the bustling cities and the tourist crowds. From deceptive caves, hidden coves to an exclusive, secluded island, I’ve compiled these suggestions of the sides of Thailand many travellers may not usually see.
Escape the crowds and tourism hot spots, by visiting some of Thailand’s hidden gems. You can easily find your holiday to Thailand and plan your trip by researching online. Thailand has a multitude of hidden gems, which most people won’t necessarily know about unless advised/by doing some research. Thailand offers friendly hospitality and a rich culture to explore throughout the country.
With its own secrets, this secret island offers hidden caves and secluded beaches which can only be accessed by exploring and climbing. This is why Koh Panak is the perfect place for those travellers who have a sense of adventure.
A beautiful 150 metre beach which is hidden in a quiet, hidden bay. It’s surrounded by palm trees and has a really laid back atmosphere, with a lot of diving and snorkelling activities.
This is Thailand’s secret luxury island, which is located just a 30 minute boat ride from Phuket. This hidden gem will give you an exclusive experience within Thailand and you will avoid the crowds. With a natural charm and blissful atmosphere, you can relax in an unspoiled paradise.
Some may argue this is an underrated option, but visiting the White Temple (Wat Phra Kaew) is apparently a must-do while you’re discovering Thailand. Exploring the Saturday Night Market is a brilliant activity, by enjoying all the local artists stalls and snacking your way along the street.
Have you visited any of the locations in Thailand listed above? Alternatively, are there any destinations you are eager to visit? Let me know in the comments.

The Libertines, Blossoms, The Courteeners, Annie Mac, Jo Whiley, MistaJam, Steve Lamacq, Huw Stephens and more announced as part of line-up for BBC Music Introducing hosts Amplify. But this isn’t a festival for the average music fan, this is an event for musicians and music obsessives marking 10 years of BBC Introducing.
Between 6 and 8 October 2017 at London’s ExCel, Amplify promise to immerse musicians in a world of music, providing a platform to connect with the biggest industry names via workshops, talks and one-on-ones; all aimed at getting out there and taking their own music to the next level.
Amplify is offering master classes, advice and the equipment needed to make it big in the music business. Though of course there are never any guarantees, it seems like a great place to learn from those who have done it and still doing it.
With more than 100 sessions and 250 speakers, you’ll be able to get advice and inspiration from some of the stars that have thrived via BBC Music Introducing over the last decade, such as Blossoms, The Hunna and Bugzy Malone. These artists will be on hand to offer guidance to aspiring artists and share crucial advice on how to break into the business. Plus there will be record labels, heads of music, radio stations, producers and commissioners.
Plus the new BBC Music Introducing Feedback Centre offering musicians a unique opportunity to get one-on-one advice, and have their tracks listened to by industry experts. Performances on the Introducing Bandstands in association with Sentric Music, more than 150 music and lifestyle brands selling their wares and Vinyl marketplace hosted by the team behind Record Store Day, which is likely where I will spend most of my time.
Sessions across the three days will include: From your bedroom to Ibiza, Do you need a manager? How to write a hit record, How to get a million streams, Grime is the new DIY, A guide to self-releasing records, Bad online? How to be good at social media, and How to run a label.
Of course, if it was that easy we would all be doing it and there’s no quick fix to making it in the music industry, but perhaps I’d be famous (weep) if this kind of event/support was around when I was growing up and playing the bass in a band. Saying that may be I should have just turned up at the BBC with some sandwiches.
BBC Radio 6 Music DJ, Steve Lamacq, said: “In 2011, an 18-year-old Jake Bugg turned up to a BBC Music Introducing masterclass with some homemade cheese and pickle sandwiches and a load of demo CDs. He had a couple of really good songs even back then, so we played him on my show and the rest, as they say, is history.
Tickets are on sale now

This is a Whatcom READS event.
Ivey's highly anticipated second novel, following The Snow Child (2012), is again set in the wilds of her native Alaska. She portrays a fictional 1885 expedition, led by Colonel Allen Forrester of the U.S. Army, into the newly acquired Alaska Territory to map the area's rivers and gather information about the Native populations. By means of the colonel's journal entries and letters between him and his wife, Sophie, who remains at the Vancouver barracks, Ivey deftly draws the reader into the perils of the journey.
LINK TO THE BOOK:
Available as book, eBook, downloadable audiobook, audiobook CD, Large Print book, and Pre-loaded Audiobook.
The annual literary happening invites Whatcom County neighbors to read or listen to the same book and then come together to discuss and celebrate its themes and the joy of reading at lively, free public gatherings at WCLS libraries and partner locations across the county.
This year's book, "To the Bright Edge of the World," by Eowyn Ivey is set in the first decades after the United States purchased the Alaska Territory. This atmospheric, transporting tale of adventure, love, and survival features rich descriptions of the Alaskan wild and a fascinating glimpse at the burgeoning fields of naturalism and photography in the late 19th century.

Works have officially commenced at Lord Nelson Park Multipurpose Sporting Facility in St Arnaud after Northern Grampians Shire Council (NGSC) conducted a sod turning ceremony on Monday. Kara Kara Ward councillor Tony Driscoll and Federal Government Member for Mallee, Dr Anne Webster MP presided over the ceremony held at 2.30pm on the former grounds of the now demolished Tote building.
The ceremony which commenced with Cr Driscoll saying an Acknowledgement of Country, was witnessed by project stakeholders and community members including the St Arnaud Recreation Advisory Group, MKM Construction staff, councillors and council staff.
The $3.9 million sporting facility project has received funding from multiple sources including:
$700,000 from the Victorian Government Sport and Recreation Victoria Local Sports Grant
$500,000 from the Federal Government Sports Australia Community Sports Infrastructure Grant
$100,000 from the AFL Key Communities Facilities Fund
Council has committed to supplying the balance for the facility project of $2.6 million. The St Arnaud community is making a significant contribution of $150,000 to the landscaping and enhancing the new facility surrounds.
On completion, the building will provide St Arnaud residents and visitors with a multipurpose facility for sports and community events equipped with various indoor and outdoor spaces, all abilities and female friendly amenities and commercial grade catering capabilities.
Federal Member for Mallee Dr Anne Webster said the new venue will address a lack of female facilities at Lord Nelson Park and encourage increased participation in a range of sports.
“Lord Nelson Park is regarded as one of the main sporting venues in the North Central Region of Victoria and is home to sports including football, netball, harness racing, hockey and cricket,” Dr Webster said.
“The park also hosts the St Arnaud Agricultural Show. However, the existing facilities are somewhat dilapidated now and no longer fit for purpose, so I’m pleased to see work begin on what I know will be a well-utilised venue, and a wonderful community asset.”
Minister for Sport Richard Colbeck said the facilities will encourage greater female participation by providing a safe and welcoming environment.
“The Morrison Government’s $100 million Community Sport Infrastructure grant program is a valuable investment in building community spirit and pride.
“This program is not just about building better sporting facilities, it is about building stronger, healthier communities by promoting physical activity, social connection, and economic vitality.
“This venue will also be a valuable sporting hub for schools and community groups to use for cross country events, fun runs as well as boot camp and fitness sessions, and complements the recently opened North Park Multipurpose Clubroom located in neighbouring Stawell.”
Northern Grampians Shire Council Mayor, Cr Murray Emerson, expressed his gratitude to all the funding bodies that contributed to the project and have made it possible to achieve the community’s vision.
“This is a massive journey,” he said. “We’re coming from what have been described as the worst change facilities in the state, not our words, but those of the AFL.
“For our community the time has come to reach the next exciting phase.
“We’ve had a lot of community input across the years on this project including the current advisory committee and all of the user groups who have worked hard to pull this project together; this is a community precinct for all.”

Kamoli loses bid to have prosecutors replaced
THE High Court has dismissed former army commander, Tlali Kamoli, and his co-accused’s application to have prosecutors, Shaun Abrahams and ‘Naki Nku, recused from their trial for the June 2015 murder of army commander, Maaparankoe Mahao.
The presiding judge, Charles Hungwe, did not give reasons for throwing out the application. This due to a request from both sides that he only announces the judgement as the courtroom was freezing as they did not want to remain in the building for too long.
The courtroom lacks a heating system hence the freezing temperatures in winter. Suspects and litigants have over the years complained about the cold but nothing has been done to address the situation.
“In light of the request (by the applicants and respondents) and due to the cold temperatures in this court, I will only read the operative part of the judgement,” Justice Hungwe said.
“The application is dismissed in its entirety and this matter is postponed to 28 July 2021 in order to secure dates for the continuation of the trial,” Justice Hungwe ruled.
He said he would send the written judgement with its reasons to both parties.
Lieutenant General (Lt-Gen) Kamoli’s co-accused are Captains Litekanyo Nyakane and Haleo Makara, Sergeants Lekhooa Moepi and Motsamai Fako, Corporals Marasi ‘Moleli, Motšoane Machai, Mohlalefi Seitlheko and Tšitso Ramoholi.
Former Director of Military Intelligence, Lieutenant Colonel Tumo Lekhooa, is also accused but he did not file an application nor is he in court with others. He is being tried in absentia as he fled the country in 2017.
The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Hlalefang Motinyane, Advocates Abrahams and Nku were the first to third respondents respectively in the recusal application.
Lt-Gen Kamoli and his co-accused have been charged with the 25 June 2015 murder of Lt-Gen Mahao.
They have also been charged with the attempted murder of Lt-Gen Mahao’s nephews, Mahao Mahao and Mabilikoe Leuta, by shooting inside a vehicle in which they were passengers.
They are also charged with damaging Lt-Gen Mahao’s vehicle during the same operation, a white Nissan half-truck, by firing at it with an automatic rifle.
Lt-Gen Kamoli is further charged with the theft of Lt-Gen Mahao’s 9mm pistol and Samsung Galaxy mobile phone.
Their trial was halted on 8 July 2021 after their lawyers indicated that they intended to file the recusal application.
This after a state witness, Retired Colonel Thato Phaila, accused Advocates Abrahams and Nku of twisting his evidence to suit their own interests. Rtd Col Phaila accused Advocates Abrahams, Nku and police investigators of fraudulently amending his witness statement and forcing him to lie in his testimony.
Lt-Gen Kamoli and his co-accused subsequently seized on Rtd Col Phaila’s claims against the prosecution and applied for Advocates Abrahams and Nku’s recusal.
Lt-Gen Kamoli and his co-applicants were represented by Attorney Qhalehang Letsika and Adv Letuka Molati.
DPP Motinyane, Adv Abrahams and Adv Nku were represented by Adv Christopher Lephuthing.

Hello everybody, I hope you are having an incredible day today. Today, I’m gonna show you how to prepare a special dish, chicken-katsu (chicken cutlet). One of my favorites. This time, I am going to make it a bit unique. This will be really delicious.
Chicken Katsu (チキンカツ) is a delicious alternative to the more traditional Tonkatsu (pork cutlet). Breaded with panko, these Japanese-style cutlets are shatteringly crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. Chicken Katsu (チキンカツ) is a variation on Tonkatsu, which uses chicken instead of pork.
Chicken-katsu (Chicken Cutlet) is one of the most well liked of recent trending foods in the world. It is easy, it is fast, it tastes yummy. It is enjoyed by millions daily. They’re fine and they look fantastic. Chicken-katsu (Chicken Cutlet) is something that I’ve loved my entire life.
To begin with this particular recipe, we must prepare a few components. You can cook chicken-katsu (chicken cutlet) using 12 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Chicken-katsu (Chicken Cutlet):
- Make ready Chicken Breast Fillets
- Take Salt and Pepper as required
- Prepare Plain Flour as required
- Get Egg
- Make ready Panko Breadcrumbs as required
- Take Oil for frying
- Take <Sesame ‘Tonkatsu’ Sauce Ingredients>
- Take Tomato Ketchup
- Take Worcestershire (Lea & Perrins)
- Make ready Soy Sauce
- Make ready Sugar
- Prepare Toasted Sesame Seeds *ground
Can You Bake Chicken Katsu Technically, you can bake, but the end result is not the same as deep-fried. Chicken katsu (Japanese chicken schnitzel or chicken cutlet) is usually served with the sweet and savory tonkatsu sauce, finely shredded cabbage and cucumbers. You can eat it either with steamed rice, ramen or prepared chicken katsu don. It is a comfort food widely popular in Japan.
Instructions to make Chicken-katsu (Chicken Cutlet):
- Slice Chicken Breast Fillets in half and make them even thickness by flattening the thick parts using a meat mullet or something.
- Sprinkle some Salt and Pepper over and coat with Flour.
- Then dip in beaten Egg and finally coat with Panko Breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil to 170C and fry until cooked through and golden, place on a rack and drain the oil.
- To make 'Sesame Tonkatsu Sauce', grind Toasted Sesame Seeds until moist, then combine all ingredients and mix well.
- *Note: For the photo, I used regular 'Tonkatsu' sauce.
Juicy chicken or pork cutlets in an incredibly crisp layer of golden-brown bread crumbs, with a sweet-and-savory sauce and a side of crisp shredded Slice katsu into thin strips and serve immediately with shredded cabbage, lemon wedges, white rice, Japanese pickles (if desired), and tonkatsu sauce. Chicken katsu, fried chicken cutlets, are an obsession for chef Roy Choi of Kogi BBQ in Los Angeles. The simple recipe is made with only five ingredients. For Roy Choi, these crispy egg-and-panko-coated chicken cutlets, generally made with pork in Japan, represent something major. A Japanese Style chicken cutlet breaded and fried until crispy.
So that is going to wrap it up for this special food chicken-katsu (chicken cutlet) recipe. Thank you very much for your time. I’m confident you can make this at home. There is gonna be interesting food in home recipes coming up. Don’t forget to bookmark this page in your browser, and share it to your family, friends and colleague. Thanks again for reading. Go on get cooking!

Taking on the gangs
Security in Haiti starts to improve
Haiti has been plagued for several years by violent crime and armed gangs, and the problem has persisted even after the inauguration of the current president, René Préval, in May 2006. However, the more rigorous approach adopted late last year by troops of the Mission des Nations Unies pour la Stabilisation en Haiti (Minustah, the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti) and the Police Nationale d'Haiti (PNH, Haitian National Police) has resulted in improvements in the security situation, in particular in the capital, Port-au-Prince.
After the anxieties created by several years of politically motivated and criminal violence, the population is enjoying a welcome period of relative calm. The incidence of crime, including kidnapping for ransom, have greatly decreased and residents of many parts of the capital, who had for months endured a de facto curfew at dusk because of the fear of violence, have now largely resumed normal social and commercial activities in the early evening. When he marked one year in office on May 13th, Mr Préval, during a press conference on May 13th, expressed satisfaction with the improved security climate, noting that the establishment of security was an indispensable, condition for his government's objective of increasing investment and creating jobs.
More than 500 alleged gang members were arrested by Minustah forces in the first six months of 2007, and hundreds more have been detained by the PNH. During July alone, the PNH announced it had arrested a further 171 people, 108 on charges of criminal conspiracy, 48 for murder, and 15 for involvement in kidnapping. The majority of alleged gang leaders are thought to be among those either arrested or killed while resisting arrest. Earlier in the year, the Minustah and PNH made a concerted effort to break up the larger gangs based in the sprawling Cité Soleil slum to the north of the capital, and the area has remained relatively free of serious crime, confounding expectations that gang activity would resume once the spotlight shifted elsewhere.
Expanding security operations
Later the security forces extended operations to other troublesome parts of the capital, and in May large numbers of alleged gang members were arrested in slum areas in the south-west of the city. On May 17th, the PNH announced it had arrested more than 20 members of the notorious Lame Timanchet (Little Machete Army), a gang responsible for many murders in the Martissant/Grand Ravine areas. The same month, the PNH carried out an operation in the nearby area of Carrefour, leading to the arrest of 121 people, including the alleged assassins of two police officers, killed in mid-May.
The Minustah and PNH also took action to counter gang activity in the central city of Gonaïves. Armed gangs had enjoyed near total impunity in the city since the anti-government uprising in early 2004, but an upsurge in violent crime in May, including the murder of Alix Joseph, a local radio journalist who had been reporting on the gangs, prompted a strong response from the security forces. In mid-June, following joint Minustah/PNH operations over several weeks, the Minustah's regional police commander, Jean-Jacques L'Hour, announced that 54 arrests had been made, and the former “no-go” areas of the city, Raboteau and Jubilee, were now freely accessible. On July 17th police announced the arrest of a Raboteau gang member suspected of participating in the murder of Mr Joseph.
Institutional failings persist
The arrest of large numbers of alleged criminals has led to a renewed focus on the failings of the country's penitential and judicial systems. A report produced by the International Crisis Group in early May warned that the country's overcrowded, understaffed and insecure prison system is on the brink of collapse, threatening a mass prisoner escape that would undermine recent steps to combat urban gangs and organised crime. The report stated that Haiti's 17 prisons hold more than 5,500 inmates, of whom less than 10% have been convicted. The National Prison in Port-au-Prince is filled to eight times capacity with 2,500 prisoners, but has only 25 guards. An earlier report by the US Agency for International Development noted that Haiti's courts have the capacity to handle a maximum 320 jury trials a year.
At the end of May, Minustah drew attention to the large number of people imprisoned without trial and the practice of bribing judges to get people released from prison. The Minustah's human rights section announced that at least six people were killed by mobs in a single week in July in different attacks, and that at least 105 people had been lynched since 2005. In his address to the National Assembly in June, the prime minister, Jacques Edouard Alexis, said there would soon be improvements to the prison system, with 400 new prison officers due to complete their training.
Meanwhile, during an official visit to Washington DC to meet US government officials and business representatives, and again in an address to the Haitian people on May 18th, the public holiday celebrating the creation of the Haitian flag, Mr Préval announced a major initiative against corruption. In his Flag Day speech, the president vowed to root out corrupt police, customs agents, judges and legislators, whom he accused of enriching themselves at the expense of the ordinary people. Corruption has been cited as a major impediment to investment by Mr Préval, and his recent refocusing on the issue is a sign that, following successes in improving security, the government feels able to turn its attention to addressing the problem of endemic graft in public institutions.
In a high-profile action soon after these speeches, on June 6th, one of Haiti's wealthiest businessmen, Franck Ciné, the chief executive officer of the telephone company, HaiTel, was arrested, together with three other men. The four, who were all major shareholders in the collapsed Société Caribéenne de Banque (Socabank), were charged with expropriating deposits and fraud in connection with the controversial intervention in the bank's affairs by the Banque de la Républic d'Haïti (the central bank).
Drug trafficking targeted
With Haiti one of the main transshipment points for Colombian cocaine, drug-trafficking is also beginning to receive greater attention in domestic politics and foreign relations. While in Washington in early May, Mr Préval called for help from the US as the main source of demand for the cocaine that passes through Haitian territory from South America, in tackling the problem. Mr Préval cited drug-trafficking as one of the main factors contributing to instability and insecurity in Haiti. A few weeks later, on May 31st, one of the largest drug seizures in Haiti in years in the southern town of Léogane underlined the increased focus on the problem.
On July 16th US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents and Haitian police mounted two raids on the homes of alleged drug-traffickers. One of the raids targeted Guy Philippe, the former police officer, and leader of the rebel forces, which led to the ouster of former president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide (2000-04), in 2004. Mr Philippe, who was the presidential candidate for the Front Reconstruction National (FRN) in the February 2006 elections, was not at his home on the outskirts of the southern town of Les Cayes at the time of the raid, and evaded arrest. He later told local radio stations that he had nothing to do with drug-trafficking, and that the raid was politically motivated.

“After a few minutes Benedetta stopped and sniffed the air. ‘Can you smell it?’ Bruno sniffed too but all he could smell was the dank, mouldy scent of the woods. ‘Over here.’ She pushed a little way off the path and there, like a tiny Neolithic henge on the forest floor, stood a cluster of squat mushrooms. ‘These are good.’ Benedetta confirmed. Make sure you snap them off without pulling them or you’ll damage the roots.’
‘What are they?’
‘Ceppatelli. Like porcini, but they fruit earlier in the year.’
Bruno plucked one. It was lighter than the chocolate-brown porcini he was used to in Rome, but it had the same heady, pungent smell”
The Food of Love, Anthony Capella
I saw the most incredible mushrooms in my local Italian supermarket today – I asked what they were and the response sounded something like ‘ceppatelli’… I looked mystified, “it’s a type of porcini mushroom” I was told.
Well, of course, I had to try them. I searched everywhere on the internet for every spelling permutation and combination of cepatelli…. Not much came up except one fungus harvested in the autumn….but when I found these, and the shopkeeper told me proudly “they’ve just come in… they really are molto buoni” it was mid-May. They were in perfect condition and they looked as if they each needed a resident elf sitting cross-legged underneath. And thinking of the elf reminded me of the fairy circle described in Anthony Capella’s delightful book – a book accurately described by Hugh Laurie as ‘a splendid, linen suit, panama hat, distant lawnmower kind of a book’. There they were – cepatelli – mushrooms indeed of the same family as porcini whose scientific name is Boletus Aestivalis.
I take no credit for the excellence of this dish. I expect I could have done almost anything with these marvellous mushrooms due to their taste and quality and they would still have been molto buoni but this worked well.
Recipe for cepatelli – or any porcini-like mushrooms
- 60g/2 oz rocket
- 120 ml/½ cup dry white vermouth
- 2 fat cloves of garlic, crushed with 1 tsp smoked salt
- 500g/1 lb porcini style mushrooms – large, thick mushrooms
- 4 sprigs of thyme
- 50g/2 oz/½ cup grated pecorino
- Olive oil to fry – you’ll need quite a lot as the mushrooms absorb it
- Indonesian long pepper – generous grinds – the musty smell goes especially well with mushrooms
- 2 tbsp thick Greek yoghurt (don’t be tempted to substitute with cream – it doesn’t have enough bite)
- 60g/2 oz rocket – shredded to make it easier to eat
Take the yoghurt (the whole tub) out and get it to room temperature.
- Wipe the mushrooms gently to get off any dirt, cut them vertically into quarters
- Put into a big frying pan with a generous slug of olive oil, fry for about five minutes, stirring all the time
- Add the garlic and fry gently for a couple more minutes
- Add the dry vermouth, the thyme and the pepper and continue cooking gently for up to half an hour…the thick mushrooms take a bit longer to cook than most mushroom do.
- About five minutes before the mushrooms look as if they’ll be cooked through add the cheese and stir in.
- Then you have a choice of either taking the pan off the heat and stirring in the yoghurt, or putting the room-temperature yoghurt on the table and allowing people to serve themselves.
- add the rocket and mix in

Armwood Upsets Braden River In 7A-9 Clash
The Braden River Pirates and Armwood Hawks represented 7A-9 in playoff action on Tuesday. Each team collected seven hits, with the Pirates taking the early advantage, but a three-run third inning by the Hawks helped propel them to the 4-2 upset win.
The Pirates (18-8) took the 1-0 lead on a RBI single from Cole Pencosky in the first inning, scoring Giancarlo Gamboa from second. Tyler Dyson homered in the fourth to score the other run and also started the game on the mound for the Pirates. Dyson pitched well, going six innings, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out eight batters.
After falling behind 1-0, the Hawks (10-11) finally got to Dyson in the third. With two on and two outs, Eric Blanc swung the momentum in the Hawks favor. Blanc took a 2-1 pitch and sent it into left for a triple, scoring Devin Tolliver and Justin Maning to take the 2-1 lead. Blanc came around to score on a wild pitch for a 3-1 lead during the next at-bat.
“Tonight’s win was a total team effort,” said Hawks manager Robert Woodkey. “Every guy, whether in the game or in the dugout, played a huge part. The intensity was magnificent and they battled to the end. I couldn’t ask for a better group of guys.”
Manning added another run in the seventh on a double from Anthony Digacoma.
David Rodriguez started the game and went the distance for the Hawks. The junior threw 93 pitches, allowing just two runs on seven hits and one walk, while striking out two in the victory.

The annual Region of Queens bike exchange is once again up and rolling for 2021.
Beginning Monday, residents looking for a gently used bike in good working order can choose from one of the many that will be posted on the bike exchange Facebook page.
Throughout the year, the region accepts donations of used bicycles and turns them over to be repaired before being offered to the community.
Region of Queens Active Living Coordinator Norm Amirault says the first bike exchange held in 2019 was modelled after other similar programs that were successful around the South Shore.
With the help of their partners Liverpool Adventure Outfitters, 18 bikes were distributed in person that first year and that number increased to 25 bikes in 2020 with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Amidst COVID[-19] increased demand for cycling or bikes, bike parts and bike supplies went way, way up,” said Amirault. “So God love ‘em, they’ve continued to do our repairs and they’ve always done a great job.
Now in its third year, another partner has come on board to sponsor the bike exchange.
The Liverpool Kinsmen club has stepped up to cover the costs of repairing the donated bicycles.
Each bike the region gives away also comes with a helmet, and the Kinsmen are covering the costs of buying those as well.
In honour of that generosity, the region has renamed the event the, “Kinsmen club of Liverpool bike exchange."
The event will be held exclusively online again. Fifteen bikes will be listed to start this year’s bike exchange. Amirault says they have another 15 or so that will be offered up after the initial batch has been distributed.
Amirault said the aim of the bike exchange is to provide people the opportunity to be more physically active but you can’t overlook the positive impacts of a community looking out for one another.
“It’s been really, really gratifying to see a couple of things. People of all ages in our community receiving bikes who might not otherwise have gotten them and it’s been really gratifying to see people, residents who say, yup, I’ll get you a bike and donate it,” said Amirault.
Anyone with a bike they would like to donate to the bike exchange program can drop it off at the Region of Queens municipal office on White Point Road.
Amirault says the bikes will be listed starting at 7 p.m.
To claim a bicycle, simply leave your name in the comments under that bike and Region staff will contact the recipients on a first come, first served basis to arrange delivery.

In his first collection of short stories, The Theory of Light and Matter, author Andrew Porter details the lives of realistic people in unremarkable situations. By unremarkable, I do not mean to suggest that these stories ring with inconsequence or monotony, but instead, that the stories of these people are so normal that they strike a deep chord within us. The story of a little boy who deals with the guilt of his friend dying in his presence. A grad student who tumbles into a questionable relationship with her much older professor. A childless couple who house an international student and try to learn the balance between “parent” and “friend.” Each story feels like something any one of us could tell or hear from a friend: so personal, tender, and conversational that the characters spill from the pages and solidify into beloved companions. Porter writes in first person, adding to this deep appeal because each narrator speaks in his own strong, unique voice. Both men and women narrate these stories: people of various ages and backgrounds, but, despite this diversity, none sound false. Rather, they sound autobiographical, so vividly detailed and achingly honest that it’s hard to believe they’re fiction.
Porter’s striking writing style contributes to this tangible connection. He writes in short, simple sentences: no flowery prose rank with excessive adjectives or useless descriptions. Each detail adds to readers’ understanding and perception of the characters in that specific story; if knowing what breakfast cereal Character X enjoys, for example, will not advance or contribute to the tale, Porter omits it. Though this sparse style may appear at odds with deep meaning, he manages to convey complex ideas of loyalty, family and loss in his concise language. Showing us how the characters feel through their actions or inactions solidifies these themes. When Paul, for example, sneaks into his host son’s room, steals some weed and smokes a joint alone in the bathroom, it shows us his confusion and his yearning for release. Though we may not agree with their actions, following these narrators through their lives helps us understand their motivations more than any rambling monologue ever could.
Though the truth and beauty of Porter’s words reverberates, the most compelling aspect of his short stories – at least for me – was that they made me want to write. Not to write an academic paper or a lab report, but to document the fear, sadness and joy of everyday life. They made me feel like I have stories to tell, embedded within the monotony of class, relationships and mistakes. They reminded me that telling a good story doesn’t have to be obscure or extravagant. It can be one moment, one look, one conversation. It just has to be honest, to witness to those terrifying truths we’re too scared even to whisper to ourselves late at night. And if we’re brave, gritting our teeth against the horrible, beautiful normalcy of our lives, any one of us can tell a story like that.

Santayana, George (16 December 1863–26 September 1952), philosopher and writer, was born in Madrid, Spain, the son of Agustín Ruiz de Santayana, a Spanish diplomat, and Josefina Sturgis (formerly Josefina Borrás y Carbonell), the daughter of a Spanish diplomat. His mother had previously married a Boston merchant, George Sturgis, who died in 1857. Santayana was christened Jorge Agustín Nicolás, but his half sister Susana insisted that his name not be the Spanish Jorge, but George, after her father. A permanent resident of Spain only during 1863–1872, he retained his Spanish citizenship throughout his life and frequently returned to visit family and to write....

Toomer, Jean (26 December 1894–30 March 1967), writer and philosopher, was born Nathan Pinchback Toomer in Washington, D.C., the son of Nathan Toomer, a planter, and Nina Pinchback, the daughter of Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback, governor of Louisiana during Reconstruction and the first U.S. governor of African-American descent. Like his parents, Toomer could easily pass for white, his heritage comprising several European and African bloodlines. Indeed, throughout his formative years until age eighteen, he lived alternately as white and as African American. In 1895 Nathan Toomer abandoned his family, forcing Nina and her son to live with her somewhat tyrannical father in Washington. P. B. S. Pinchback agreed to support them only under the condition that the boy’s name be changed. Though his name was not legally altered, his grandparents thereafter called him Eugene Pinchback; in school he was known as Eugene Pinchback Toomer. (Later, when he began writing, he shortened his name to Jean Toomer.) According to Toomer’s biographers Cynthia Kerman and Richard Eldridge, “For Jean to grow up in a house with a grandfather who had been the only black governor of any state in the Union … could not help shaping the perceptions and attitudes of the fatherless boy” (p. 16). In Washington Toomer lived in a white neighborhood but attended the all-black Garnet Elementary School. When his mother remarried in 1906, the family moved to New Rochelle, New York, where they lived in a white neighborhood and he attended an all-white school. Toomer returned to Washington in 1909, following the death of his mother, and attended the all-black Dunbar High School. After graduation in 1914, he renounced racial classifications and sought to live not as a member of any racial group but as an American....

A few weeks after announcing he would be leaving Michigan, Wyatt Shallman knows where he’s going.
The linebacker announced on Wednesday that he’ll be attending grad school and play at Ohio University. As a graduate transfer, he will be eligible immediately.
“Beyond excited to announce that I will be attending grad school and playing football for Ohio University!” Shallman wrote on Twitter.

Shallman, in a note shared on Jan. 19, announced he would be leaving the Wolverines program to pursue a graduate transfer. Shallman, who’s from Hartland, Mich., played in 11 games while at Michigan. He moved from running back to linebacker before this past season. While at running back, Shallman picked up 14 yards on four attempts.
“These last 3 years have allowed me to grow as a man, and, more importantly, become a Michigan Man,” Shallman wrote last month when he announced his intentions to transfer.

Sometimes I feel like I am walking on a tightrope when it comes to running. I miss the days when I could “just go for a run” and the idea of injury wasn’t even on my radar. I just ran. I ran for fitness, I ran for training, I ran for fun, I ran to work out frustrations or bad moods. Now? After injury I am much more cautious. Injury is in the back of my mind when I run. Whatever aches and pains I feel I start to over-analyze.
In 2011 I’ve kept my mileage down to prevent any future IT Band issues. Now I’m wondering if keeping the mileage down has caused me to be MORE sore after I run. Not keeping up with consistent mileage means I’m starting over with each run. Instead of having conditioning that makes mileage easier, I think I might be doing something detrimental instead.
This thought came to me when I was laying in bed feeling every ache in my lower body. My hips felt angry. They weren’t injured, it weren’t painful, they were just reminding me “Hey, we ache.” Thanks, Hips, for the reminder.
Recently I started to wonder: are some bodies just not made to be runners?
I like to believe that I can do anything. I think that with proper training and conditioning anyone can do what they set their mind to. But is it possible that maybe my body type just isn’t going to be running friendly?
And that brings me to another question: if in fact some people’s bodies just aren’t meant for running should they do it anyway? Or is that just asking for unnecessary trouble?
So if my body type is just not meant for running, do I stop? Give it all up even if I love it and miss it? Or do I keep doing it but keep my mileage down in hopes of avoiding injury? By keeping the mileage down you get a touch of the running but not enough to cause issue. I guess everything in moderation, right?
I talk about moderation all the time. Instead of eating a whole piece of cheesecake every single day of the week I split a piece once in awhile. Is that the same? Not really. Isn’t that better than nothing? Or is it? If I only get one bite of running once in awhile is that enough to satisfy me or should I be pushing myself harder?
Cross-training has done wonders for my healing. Swimming is also a good way for me to stretch and use different muscles than I do running. I thought my “stop running for 2 months” doctor advice last year was a death sentence–the end of the world. Instead it gave me the opportunity to try new things–weight lifting–and change my body for the better. That injury also taught me the value of stretching. I am so much better at stretching after each workout, I go to yoga classes more often than once or twice a year. Good lessons I needed to learn.
As it stands now I have been considering training for a 5k or 8k race. It’s getting into that time of year when I won’t be able to bike to work much and there aren’t any cycling events until Spring. Without something to train for I feel a little lost. I’m not sure if I want to sign up for a road race because of all these thoughts that are circling around in my brain.
QUESTION: Do you think some bodies are just not made for running?

This is my nephew who has been living out here in California, the LA area. He has been taking acting classes and trying to break into the business. We've seen him in two different plays so far and enjoyed both of them. Now he is trying stand up - we plan on being there as well. So if you're in the LA area, please come and see him too.
This is my ornament exchange gift that was mailed out on Monday and received on Wednesday. The post office has been Johnny on the spot lately........ This is a Shepard Bush design that I got on my trip to Burley ID about a month or so ago. I love SB and have done a lot of their designs and have a lot, and I mean a lot more to do. I'm currently working on another small one like this called "My Sister, My Friend", which I'll finish and give to my sister....I know DUH wouldn't give it to you brother right?
Below are the other wonderful goodies I got with my exchange. The small wall hanging is wonderfully done as well as the little bag, which will be used to carry my socking knitting instead of the current plastic freezer bag.
The last picture show all of my things hanging from the mantle in our living room. we don't use the fireplace - it doesn't get cold enough for a fire around here. The one angel on the right as you look at it will go on top of our tree when we put it up and then will be packed away.
Hope you are all having a great day and week!!

Sun, sea and festival season; cheers summertime you pulled a blinder.
A beautiful mess of corbyn highs and muddy lows, 2017 supplied the appy’ days memory books with some stand out moments. In the fondest of thanks lets say adieu to the summer with a Big live line up of it’s best and brightest, piss up potential included.
Peggy’s World proudly presents a Big Summer Shakedown at the north london hang out, The Lexington with an eclectic line up of this year’s most vibrant rising talents. Headlining will be Nottingham’s electro-pop high-flyers, April Towers with the talented forces of Everything by Electricity andMatt Perriment in tow.
#savetheinvasion Sunday 10th September @ The Lexington DOORS 7PM.
Tix £6 ADV // £8 OTD @ DICE – Just For You
After the release of their acclaimed single Modern Psyche late last year, the Nottingham lads immediately hit the studio with award winning, Aussie producer, Catherine Marks (Wolf Alice, Foals) to start work on their new EP Silent Fever. Drawing on the duo’s colourful spectrum of musical influences, the title track is musical hydration, as it combines light melodies with fulfilling bass tones and experimental synths and has been signed to forward thinking Indie label Lab Records.
Acclaimed website Gigwise has hailed the new single saying, “It’s time to dance away the winter blues, as ‘Silent Fever’ is a blisse-out inescapably infectious disco-rock banger, immediately transporting you to far more tropical climbs in a way that we haven’t heard since Friendly Fires. The world is a bright place with you, April Towers.”
Everything by Electricity
Whilst lush pop beats strongly at its heart, dense waves of guitar, reverberating walls of noise and fragile melodies
collide amidst sparkling neon-lit synths, dreamy vocals and ghostly shapes via the night sky; anchored tight by pulsing
bass, throbbing drums and drum machines.
The band’s sound is littered with the strains of alienation and longing for escape one would expect from childhoods
spent gazing across cold barren landscapes deep behind the iron curtain.
On moving from Siberia to London, singer/songwriter Yulia (guitar, synths, vocals) quietly crafted a collection of demo
material in her bedroom studio and expanded the line-up with the addition of Daniel (bass guitar, synths) and
Manoela (drums, pads).
Matt Perriment is a 24 year old singer songwriter based in London. Establishing himself on the South England festival scene, he began writing folk and indie inspired music seven years ago.
His debut EP Everlast, released on all major platforms in March 2017, won early support from Musicmusingsandsuch, and received a positive response online (and across digital distribution sites), that lead to a successful string of shows across the UK including The Lexington, The Camden Assembly, St Pancras Old Church, The Islington and the Groucho Club. Matt is also frequently involved with Sofar Sounds, and has played multiple London and International Sofar performances.

I was floored by the request and happily agreed to meet at Chandler Hovey park with the reporter and his photographer. We had been under boring grey skies all week but the staff photographer asked me to bring my gear as he wanted a situational portrait. I complied and decided to go about with some long exposure images.
When I arrived, I noted that the tide against the rocks looked like tendrils and sought to find a composition that would capture the feeling of the earth reaching out to meet the sea. I overexposed a bit to blow out the gray sky and then processed the image to black and white to suit the mood of the day.
For an otherwise boring grey day where all I had planned was culling photos and processing the keepers, this turned out to be an awesome one and I’m glad to have the image to remember it by. Thank you to everyone who has helped me narrow down images that will accompany the article.
