In the movie, Brigadoon, two American hunters in Scotland stumble upon a village that only appears once every century for a day. This is so that the village would never be changed or destroyed by the outside world. October last year I felt we'd stumbled upon such a place in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania when we spent two nights in Eagles Mere, "the village that time forgot," on our way home from my niece's wedding in Connecticut. I did a post about it called Endless Mountains. It was a gorgeous Autumn late afternoon when we arrived that Sunday last year. The next day, however, it rained. We did not let that deter us from hiking in a nearby State Park. I knew, though, I needed to come back and explore the lake itself in Eagles Mere. I'd tried to get my family together for a week last summer, but schedules and rental availability kept that from happening. So this past Columbus Day weekend we were all able to gather at a house within a short walk of the lake. Our little home away from home was named Pine Cone Cottage. . . .
It was all I'd hoped it would be. Our bedroom was just off the kitchen with a bathroom. Upstairs there were four more bedrooms and two more bathrooms. The dining room had a 10-person table. The kitchen had a counter table for four where we had just 2-on-2 time together. It was perfect for our family of eight, Olivia, and two dogs. Everyone arrived by 11:00 Friday night. We'd attempted a fire in the large stone fireplace, but the ensuing smoke because the wood was too damp kept Ken and me busy airing out the house before everyone arrived. The rest of the weekend was so warm we did not need a fire so we did not bother with it again. Here is a map of the Lake and the Village. Our cottage is the X in the top right-hand corner. There is also a timeline of important events in the life of the Village. . . .
The path hugged the lake. I was like an excited kid walking along with Gabriel, stopping to take photos whenever he'd hold still long enough. . . .
The foliage was near peak in color. . . .
Laurel Path circles the lake, but we got off half way and walked up the hill to the village. This is their Village Green. . . .
Our destination was the "Town Party" held yearly on the Saturday of Columbus Day weekend. This photo is from last year of the shopping "district". In the parking area below this building and to the right were several vendors. . . .
There was also a guitarist that Olivia played along with. . . .
The guys went to look at the old cars on display just down the street. . . .
We walked back to the cottage along the sidewalk this time. Olivia held Gabriel's leash. . . .
This carving of a bear was across the street from our cottage captured Olivia's attention. . . .
The next morning Ken and I drove the mile to the Village because I wanted to walk the rest of Laurel Path back to the cottage. But first I toured the little museum they have there. . . .
English Businessman, George Lewis, bought the mountaintop (elevation 2200 feet) in 1794 and began making glass from the sand in the lake. A small community grew up around it. By the 1850s people outside the area began visiting the lake. By the 1880's Resort Inns were being built. By the 1940's there were 10 hotels and inns along with summer cottages circling the lake. Now there are only two small Inns in operation--Eagles Mere and Crestmont, if you don't want to rent a whole house. The Village is quite small--in 2010 the full-time population was only 120, but in the summer it swells to 1,800.
The path on this side of the lake was entirely different. Much of the path was lined on either side with Rhododendron and Laurel. This particular opening had a bench at the water's edge. I sat for a while wishing I had such a path I could walk every day back home. . . .
This little bridge crossed the outlet pond at the south end of the lake. Ken was pointing to a woodpecker we could hear up in the tree. . . .
We did not attempt the Fat Man's Squeeze which was a path parallel to the one we took. . . .
Here is an old postcard photo of it. . . .
There was a very old legend about a young bride who drown in the lake in the 1800's. Her husband was sitting on a flat rock along the water's edge that night when he thought he saw her in the middle of the lake bidding him to come to her. I wondered if it was this rock. He went back to his room (they were staying at one of the hotels there), sat down at the desk, and put his affairs in order. They found his body the next day. It is said that if you sit on this rock until midnight you will see two misty forms gliding across the water, hand in hand. . . .
Everyone (but us) had to leave late Sunday afternoon. Our second son and his wife were the last to leave. We took a walk down to the beach. I let Gabriel run about since no one else was around. . . .
Eagles Mere is one of those places that you feel you've "entered into another world" when you arrive and stays with you when you leave. I was struck by how quiet it was. The lake was mesmerizing. Only electric and row boats are allowed on it. In the summer I suspect the only noise you hear is the laughter of children having fun as they frolic on this beach or swim in the lake.

2017 South Dakota Preview: Defense
When you lose five games by a touchdown or less, it's usually a combination of things.
But for the University of South Dakota defense in 2016, it was one glaring deficiency that kept coming back again and again.
The Coyotes inability to stop opponents from eating up huge chunks of yardage on the ground was one of the key factors in USD's eventual 4-7 record - a mark that easily could have been flipped.
South Dakota's defense allowed, on average, more than 250 yards a game on the ground last season. In all, opponents rushed for more than 200 yards seven times. Five of those ended in Coyote losses. Two opposing teams (New Mexico, South Dakota State) topped 400 yards. Ten different players topped 100 yards rushing in a game.
Needless to say, stopping the run is priority number one in Vermillion this season.
Up front, Seniors Jake Leohr and Taylor Lambert return as starters. Lambert led the Coyotes with nine-and-a-half tackles for loss in 2016.
Apart from those two veterans, they youth movement is on with sophomores Darrin Greenfield and Kameron Cline expected to fill the other two spots.
With an increased emphasis on a bigger and stronger defensive line, seven true freshmen have been brought in - six are 6-3 or taller and weigh in excess of 250 pounds.
The Coytes have depth and leadership at linebacker, and get a big boost with the return of senior John Wessel. The Sioux Falls native only played in part of one game in 2016, and sat out the rest of the year with an injury. He started 25 games the previous three seasons and was USD's third leading tackler in 2015.
Three other starters return at linebacker - senior Jim Litrenta and juniors Alex Gray and Alex Coker. Litrenta was the second leading tackler last season. Gray had two interceptions. Coker added three sacks.
USD is strong in the secondary as well, with a trio of starters back. Junior cornerback Danny Rambo had three picks last season. Senior cornerback Adam Harris was the third leading tackler. Junior safety Andrew Gray had ten tackles in one game in 2016.
At the other safety, a number of players could see action, including senior Doug Lewis, who started two games last season, and sophomore Mike Johnson, a transfer from Iowa State.
Overall, despite their struggles to stop the run, the South Dakota defense was quite opportunistic last season, picking off 12 passes and recovering 11 fumbles for a plus-five turnover margin.
USD opens the season, Saturday, September 2, at Drake.
I talked with linebacker John Wessel about his return this year and what he expects from the Coyote defense in 2017:

This book has started more cardicians than any other book published. It’s been reprinted countless times because it’s simply great! The book follows a logical progress of card sleights and tricks that utilize what is taught. Everyone starting out in card magic should own this book. Everything you need to know is here except the more modern sleights. This book was written in the golden years of magic but nonetheless it still is a gem! I highly recommend this book and any others that Jean Hugard & Frederick Braue have written! Definitely a collectors item.
This book is amazing. I first read it when I started 20 years ago and still use the color changing deck to this day. Every performance of close up I do. I make my living doing magic. Dont pass this by.
This book contains very simple and easy to perform tricks that focus on performance over sleights. The effects are ALL powerful and things that you would use in everyday work. I am a card guy so I concentrated more on the card effects in this book and they are all amazing. The Bonus routine involving a card being "printed" is quite amazing if I say so myself. There is also a prediction effect which is simple, witty, and hard hitting. I recommend to pick this book up NOW if you want some new, intriguing, magic for your repertoire.

- Avoid Spreading “Fake News” – Misinformation not only manipulates one’s perception of reality, it also has the potential to spur violence and civil unrest
- Verify before sharing – Do your part to stop the spread of misinformation and or disinformation by verifying stories before sharing them
- Pay attention to when the story was published – Often times people will share information that was once valid several weeks or even years ago without checking when the story was first published. Information is only useful if it isn’t outdated. Remember, situations can change quickly!
Let’s face it, 2020 has been a very interesting year and we’re only in the first quarter of the new decade. We’ve watched tensions increase between foreign powers, multiple celebrities die due to non-natural causes, and now we’re social distancing ourselves in an attempt to “flatten the curve” and slow down the spread of COVID-19 also known as the coronavirus. We’ve seen a significant increase in misinformation and disinformation related to the coronavirus being published over the last several weeks so in an attempt to quell the spread of “Fake News”, We’ve decided to dedicate this article to debunking 5 coronavirus myths.
- I need a face mask to protect myself from COVID-19
While certain face mask such as the N95 offer protection from the coronavirus and lessen the likelihood of an individual infecting others, the CDC does not recommend the routine use of such respirators outside of the workplace. This is because respiratory viruses are typically spread from person to person interaction (usually within 6 feet). Infected droplets can still get into ones nose, mouth (if the respirator is ill fitting), or eyes. UPDATE: As of April 3rd, the CDC now recommends the use of cloth face coverings in public settings where it is hard to follow social distancing best practices (i.e. the grocery store). The CDC still advocates against stockpiling medical grade mask as this makes fewer mask available for healthcare professionals who have a significantly higher chance of contracting the virus given their profession.
- A shot a day keeps COVID at bay!
There have been several stories circulating throughout the internet claiming that consuming alcoholic beverages will protect one from contracting the coronavirus. While a drink or two may help ease your social distancing woes, excessive drinking can actually weaken your immune system, making you more susceptible to infections. 44 people in Iran recently died due to alcohol poisoning from drinking bootleg liquor in an attempt to ward off the coronavirus.
- Traveling to a destination that’s warm will lower my chance of infection
We personally wish this was fact vs fiction as airfare is currently at a record low world wide however, traveling requires most people to come into close contact with one another. Additionally, traveling has helped to spread the coronavirus around the world. We’ve seen cases in warm destinations such as the Caribbean and South America. Do your part to stop the spread of COVID-19 and avoid non-essential travel whether it’s local or international.
- I should avoid products made in China
To date, there have not been any recorded cases where an individual contracted the novel coronavirus from a letter, package, or other item originating from China. Similar studies were conducted during other coronavirus outbreaks (SARS and MERS). Scientist believe that this is due to the fact that coronaviruses typically have a low probability of survival on theses types of surfaces. We’ll make sure to update this entry if anything changes!
- Hand sanitizer is all I need to avoid COVID-19
While alcohol based hand sanitizers that contains at least 60% alcohol are effective at killing viruses, hand sanitizer isn’t a replacement for washing your hands with soap and warm water. Hand sanitizer is effective at killing germs however, it doesn’t wash away the remains. Additionally, hand sanitizer isn’t nearly as effective as soap when it comes to sanitizing “visibly or grossly contaminated” parts of the body. Be like a Doctor and wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds.
Thank you for taking a step in the right direction in the fight to stop the spread of COVID-19 misinformation. We’ll continue to periodically provide best practices in regards to teleworking and dealing with fake news during the global pandemic known as the novel coronavirus.

Are you frustrated with the behaviors of a friend, family member, coworker, child, or spouse who suffers from depression?

Not what I was expecting
This book was not as helpful as I thought it would be. Most of it seemed like describing depression rather than how to help someone going through depression. While I do have a better understanding of depression, I'll see myself needing to search elsewhere to find out how to help someone going through this. Regardless, if you want a basic understanding on how depression works, this is a good place to start without taking up too much time to listen too.
- Mike Lewis
There is help for depression!
Absolutely. There is probably something else I can learn from it that I missed the first time .
Any book about depression that can help someone should be considered alongside this title.
I like his calm voice and his clear annunciation.
I like that the book tells you what a depressed person needs. This enables you to know how to help yourself or whoever you know that needs a little extra care.
There are different types of depression and they aren't all the same. It is important to know the differences and what you can do about each type when someone you care about and love is suffering from the disorder. Reading books like this can certainly help that.

In another blow to the Big East, multiple outlets are reporting that TCU will spurn the Big East and accept an invitation to join the Big 12 Conference.
The move is potentially a fatal blow to the Big East, as Syracuse and Pittsburgh announced they were leaving for the ACC last month.
With the three schools leaving, the Big East is down to six football teams and 14 basketball schools. A minimum of seven teams is needed to retain an automatic BCS bowl bid.
TCU will need to pay a $5 million exit fee to the Big East, but doesn’t need to wait the two-year exit period because the school was never a full-fledged member.
Although the Big East is in serious jeopardy right now, the conference has been rumored to be interested in Navy, Army, Air Force, Temple, East Carolina and Central Florida. Additionally, Villanova could become an FBS team in football.

Check passport and visa requirements: Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your intended stay in the United States.

Otherwise, you will need to apply for a U.S. visa in advance.
Pack your belongings: Review the baggage allowances and restrictions of your chosen airline to pack accordingly. It's important to comply with the airline's rules regarding baggage weight, size, and prohibited items.
Arrive at the airport: On the day of your flight, arrive at the airport with sufficient time before your departure. This allows for check-in, security screening, and potential delays. Check the airline's guidelines regarding check-in times and required documents.
Proceed through airport procedures: Follow the signs to the check-in counters of your airline. Present your travel documents, such as your passport and flight itinerary, to the airline staff. They will issue your boarding pass and check your luggage if needed. Proceed through security screening, which typically involves passing your carry-on baggage through an X-ray machine and walking through a metal detector.
Board the plane: Once your flight is ready for boarding, follow the instructions and present your boarding pass at the gate. Find your seat on the plane and stow your carry-on baggage in the overhead compartments or under the seat in front of you.
Fly to New York: Enjoy your flight to New York! Long-haul flights from Germany to New York usually take around 7 to 9 hours, depending on the route and any layovers.
Arrival in New York: Upon landing at your designated airport in New York, follow the signs to immigration and customs. Present your passport, completed customs declaration form (if required), and any additional documentation as per your visa requirements. Retrieve your checked luggage if applicable, and proceed through customs.
Ground transportation: After clearing customs, you can proceed to ground transportation options such as taxis, rideshares, shuttles, or public transportation to reach your final destination in New York City or beyond.

While the Guerlain meteorites that most people know have 3 options for light, med and dark skintone, it also have a 4th option that’s Asian exclusive called Blanc. In the pre-2014 version it was all white, white matte/shimmer and silver, while the current version have some light colors in them, which seems much more user friendly. Since it’s an Asian exclusive, I have to order it from international websites. I got a set of mini pearls from Izzy’s Beauty, but Strawberrynet have some promo going on and is cheaper, so that’s where I ordered it from. Well, they packaged it very well with lot of sterofoam and peanuts, but it’s true that the new/current pearls are more fragile than the old ones so it didn’t look so good when it arrived…..
When I emailed the customer service, they offered me a 50% off since half of the products survived. It’s not like I’ll ever run out of meteorites so I figured less pearls is ok, and it’s an opportunity for me to do the loose to pressed powder DIY I’ve been wanting to do for a while. But first, swatches… =)
Now then, teint rose/clair is the fairest of the worldwide Guerlain meteorites line and it’s pretty much a white powder, so how much whiter/lighter can Blanc be? I took out the pearls, where both have the purple, pink and yellow pearls. Teint rose/clair have green matte, beige shimmer and white shimmer while Blanc have white with gold/warm shimmer, white with cool shimmer, and white matte.
In comparison the Clair/teint rose look a bit green or neutral while Blanc is a tad pinker, but really, I don’t think there’s much of a difference on the face since we are not applying it liberally. If the swatches are not side by side, both of them would just look white. Since it looks like 1/3 of the pearls in Blanc has been reduced to powder, I decided to try to use up that first before playing with the pearls, which leads to……
The simplest one is where you just need alcohol and a container. I heard that alcohol with lower percentage (70% etc) is better since it doesn’t dry up as fast so you don’t accidentally make your powder too hard with little color pay off, but I’ve only got 97% so that’s what I used. Basically you finely crush the loose powder, spray/pour alcohol in until it’s a paste, mix evenly and press. Then wait 24 hours or so for it to dry completely before using.
It’s hard to crush the powder evenly and I didn’t try that hard, which is why the end result is a bit chunky when being used. However, it works fine with a brush, swatches the same and looks the same on the face. Of course it’s prettier to swirl the brush in the jar of scented pearls, but at least this way I don’t waste or overapply the loose powder. So that’s that. If you ever wished your teint rose/clair could be a tad pinker, then get Blanc, otherwise there’s not much of a difference.

Earlier this month the Third DCA affirmed the lower court’s order denying relief from a foreclosure judgment despite the borrower’s assertion that the judgment was void due to procedural deficiencies pertaining to Deutsche Bank’s substitution into the case as the plaintiff. Van Tran v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Tr. Co.i In Van Tran, the initial plaintiff, OneWest Bank, filed a foreclosure complaint against Van Tran and other defendants. Van Tran failed to respond to the complaint, which resulted in the Clerk of Court issuing a default against Van Tran.
Thereafter, OneWest moved to substitute Deutsche Bank as the new plaintiff. The court entered an order granting the substitution and requiring “a corresponding amendment to the style of the case.” Months later the matter proceeded to a non-jury trial. The trial order reflected Deutsche Bank as the plaintiff. Van Tran failed to appear for trial and despite filing (via counsel) an emergency motion to continue trial, Van Tran failed to raise any procedural issues with the trial notice. The court denied Van Tran’s motion for continuance, the trial proceeded, and the court entered judgment for Deutsche Bank.
“Some years later” Van Tran filed a motion for relief from the judgment under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b)(4), asserting it was void because “the complaint was never formally amended to reflect Deutsche Bank as the party plaintiff…” The lower court denied the requested relief and Van Tran appealed that order. The Third DCA affirmed the lower court on the basis that the judgment “at best” was voidable since there was no deprivation of due process. The Court noted that the amending the style of the case “to effect a substitution of the parties,” as ordered by the lower tribunal, “essentially” required amending the complaint. The Court went on to state “… the ensuing collateral attack was time-barred” since rule 1.540(b) motions must be brought within one year from entry of judgment.
The Court explained that “errors, irregularities or wrongdoing in proceedings, short of illegal deprivation of opportunity to be heard…will not render the judgment void.” The Court further elaborated that Van Tran failed to object to OneWest’s motion to substitute, failed to raise a procedural objection upon receipt of the trial notice reflecting Deutsche Bank as the plaintiff and failed to defend the suit at trial. Although strictly speaking, an amendment to the complaint was required, “the identical result was obtained by the pretrial order which did substitute [Deutsche Bank] ….” as the party plaintiff. Further, the Court explained that Van Tran received a copy of the judgment which reflected Deutsche Bank as the plaintiff, but Van Tran still failed to seek timely relief based on the alleged procedural deficiency.
The Court affirmed the judgment noting Florida’s “deep-rooted policy in favor of the repose of judgments…the interest in finality, and the concern in the stability of property titles.”
i This opinion will be final on August 28, 2020 provided Van Tran does not file a motion for rehearing before that date.

Cats are one of the most common pets people keep, yet only a handful of cat owners know how to treat their pets when they are under the weather. Seeing your beloved cat suffering is upsetting, so here are a few important things to keep in mind while caring for your sick cat so they may be back to normal in no time. It is best to take your pet to the vet as soon as possible, so that you can pin point exactly what is causing their ailment. The points given below are only to aid the recovery of your feline friend after a trip to the vet.Do’s
- Offer fresh clean water: It is important that cats stay hydrated when they are sick. Much like humans, dehydration or drinking unclean water can only make their condition worse. So remember to offer your pet cats clean drinkable water in a clean bowl regularly.
- Feed your sick cat healthy food: Consuming nutritious food can speed up their recovery. Getting a sick cat to eat can be quite the challenge, but offering slightly-warmed canned food like tuna or chicken with their natural juices and oil may help. You may need to hand feed them at first if they are not eating on their own.
- Clean nose, eyes and ears regularly: Make sure you wipe away any kind of discharge from their eyes, nose or ears with warm salt water. This may help to avoid any kind of infection and irritation. Keeping your cat clean will definitely help them get well soon.
- Keep them warm and comfortable: A warm and cosy space helps your cat to rest and relax while they recuperate. This is especially effective if your cat is suffering from a cold.
- Never let your sick cat roam free: Sick cats should always be kept indoors with a litter tray nearby. If they are let outside, they may not return as they are highly unlikely to be able to defend or look out for themselves.
- Never medicate them on your own: Always consult a vet first before giving them any sort of medication. They may be allergic, and hat works for one cat may not always work for another.
- Never give human medicines to your sick cat: You should never ever give your sick cat human medicines – tablets, ointments or syrups. Most of them are extremely poisonous for cats and could even kill them.
- Never feed vomiting cat frequently: If your cat is suffering from diarrhoea or stomach flu and is vomiting heavily, do not feed it until at least 12 hours after vomiting has stopped.

“Monophonic music wherein a man has created a dance of God.” That is how Wilfrid Mellers, in his book, Bach and the Dance of God, describes the Six Suites for Unaccompanied Violoncello by J.S. Bach.1 This pithy yet provocative preamble comprises several of the important threads one may consider when studying and performing this repertoire. Firstly, while these instrumental works, composed around 1720 during Bach’s uniquely secularized tenure at Cöthen, contrast against the composer’s awesome output of sacred vocal music, they remain connected to the idea that Bach was fundamentally a religious composer.2 Secondly, Bach wrote these suites for an unaccompanied, single-voice instrument, whose historical role was one relegated to supporting bass. Not only was Bach the first non-cellist composer to give the cello its first big break as a lead actor and soloist; his ‘monophonic’ compositions are masterfully contrapuntal. Thus Bach’s imposed compositional constraints – writing implied harmony for a solo voice – and his idiomatic technical demands and empowerment of the instrument prompt us still to marvel over a single man’s creation, and view this music as sustaining, canonical, and transcendent.
But there is more: there is dance. Central to the study and performance of the Bach cello suites is the import of Baroque social dances, from which the suites derive their form. German composers during the Baroque era were great synthesizers of style: virtuosity from Italy, and from France, dance. Bach’s Suites for Unaccompanied Violoncello were modeled after the suites of Froberger, who had compiled and stylized staple court dances disseminated across the German principalities from the ballrooms and courts of Louis XIV: the Allemande, Sarabande, Courante, and Gigue. With these dances, as well as an optional Prelude, Froberger forged the framework for the German Baroque instrumental suite. Yet, Froberger’s suite movements, and consequently Bach’s, were written as concert works – not as music for dance. While the French court musicians accompanying dancers would have picked musical selections quasi-randomly from an assortment – not bearing any particular tonal relationship to one another, nor a particular order, Froberger provided musical coherence to the suite by putting all of the dance movements in the same key and in a consistent order. With Froberger, and furthered by Bach (who, in addition to including Preludes, also inserted galant movements into his suites), these dances became vehicles for musical exploration; stylized, ornamented, and contemplative.
How then do the vestiges of Baroque social dance inflect and inform our listening, interpretation, and performance of what are actually stylized concert pieces? What might these original French dances tell us about the music? How might they provide a critical dimension to an embodied understanding of musical gesture, and are they pedagogically useful to performance of the suites? As cellists, do we dance when we play?
By exploring Baroque conceptions of gesture, dance, and idiomatic writing, one may imagine how musical and physical gestures may have converged for Bach when composing his six suites for unaccompanied violoncello, and how this may inform future performance.
- 1. See Mellers, Wilfrid, Bach and the Dance of God, London: Faber and Faber Limited, 1980, 15.
- 2. Richard Taruskin reminds us in his Oxford History of Music opus that, while a disproportionate amount of Bach scholarship and present day performance has privileged Bach’s instrumental writing, our consequent image of a secular composer must always be tempered by the awesome mass of Bach’s sacred output. This reconciliation of the sacred and secular in Bach is Mellers’ main project, as he finds ways to frame the Suites as connected to Bach’s spiritual works.

Child Composers and Their Works: A Historical Survey.
This volume is an attempt to fill an enormous void in historical musicology studies: the works of child composers. The author in his introduction is quite detailed and precise about what he feels this "virgin field" is. He is not talking about music written by adults for children, or children's music concerned with pedagogy in the classroom. The purpose of this book is to provide preliminary research for more extensive studies of musical compositions written by children in the past. As he narrows his topic, he is not including music by children from non-Western cultures (there have already been some case studies in this area). He indicates that he is focusing on works by children younger than sixteen, apart from whether or not they eventually became famous as adult composers (as many of them did), but calls for a thorough examination of these works not as "early" or "juvenilia" compositions, but fully-fledged mature compositions of their time periods and genres.
Mozart, of course, is the most famous example of a child composer, and is usually held up as the child composer par excellence. Chapter 2 describes how Mozart seemed to start a trend towards the development of more child composers in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Chapter 3 examines the marginalization of children's compositions from the past, indicating that very little attention has been given to them in most music history texts. The questions as to why and how this topic was ignored are explored in this chapter. Chapter 4 is a short theoretical section on how children gain competence and originality in music composition, citing a few examples such as Chopin and Beethoven. Chapter 5 comprises the heart of the book, where much of the compiled research is tabulated and discussed. There are tables here listing the length of entries for child composers in The New Grove Dictionary(2001), child composers' ages at first reported composition, child composers with more than one publication before the age of sixteen, and child composers who have produced a major work. Some interesting names of child composers include: age 3-8 category, Henry Purcell, Samuel Wesley, Frederic Chopin, Sergei Prokofiev; age 9-11 category, Carl Maria von Weber, Franz Schubert, Franz Liszt, Edward Elgar; age 12-13 category, Dominico Scarlatti, Giuseppe Verdi, Charles Ives, Sergei Rachmaninoff; and age 14-15 category, Fanny Mendelssohn, Nadia Boulanger, Claudio Monteverdi. The following chapters (6-9) then provide biographical and musical information on known child composers from the past: Chapter 6 details child composers born before 1700; Chapter 7, child composers between 1700 and 1800; Chapter 8, child composers between 1801 and 1850, and Chapter 9, child composers between 1851 and 1900. These biographies list each of the compositions by the child composer, any published research, and any sound recordings of these works. A substantial bibliography and composer index are included.
According to the biography, the author is a well-known authority on Beethoven, and his completed first movement of Beethoven's unfinished Tenth Symphony has attracted much interest. He was a child composer himself at age seven. This book provides an impetus for serious research on the compositions of child composers of all time periods and genres.

The push of the government of Botswana to obtain a greater share of revenue from the diamonds mined in its land and sold by the giant De Beers has paid off. After years of negotiations, the African country signed a renewed mining agreement this summer with the South African company, one of the largest diamond companies in the world, which will allow it to export a greater proportion of the precious stones. According to official data, just last year the business provided Botswana with revenues of $2.8 billion, a figure that is expected to increase with the new trade pact. However, this lucrative activity, thanks to which the country is no longer one of the poorest in the world, has not solved the serious problem of inequality that continues to afflict this southern African nation.
The negotiations over diamond trade and mining have been tense, with much at stake for both sides. Since the discovery of diamonds in the mines of Botswana in the 1960s – shortly after its independence from the United Kingdom in 1966 – the country has worked closely with De Beers to extract the rough diamonds through the joint venture Debswana, a collaboration that has proven to be very beneficial for both parties. On one hand, the South African mining giant depends on rough diamonds from the neighboring country for 70% of its trade; on the other, Botswana’s economy thrives thanks to the sale of the precious stones, which according to data from the International Monetary Fund, represent 90% of its exports.
At a community meeting held last May in a rural village, Botswana’s president, Mokgweetsi Masisi, said that his people “must refuse to be enslaved,” adding that he considered the then-current agreement with De Beers, signed in 2011, to be very restrictive. “We drew it at a time when we didn’t know much,” Masisi explained. “But our eyes have now been opened.”
For years, under the previous contract, the government of Botswana was only able to sell a small portion of the mined stones; the rest was managed by De Beers. That percentage was still 10% in 2010. However, under the new agreement, in the next decade it will gradually increase to 50%. The mining company will also invest $75 million in the diversification of Botswana’s economy, aiming to make it less dependent on diamond sales. This last point was essential for the Masisi administration, as Botswana (the world’s leading producer of diamonds by value) obtains 70% of its income from the gemstones, which means that the country’s economy is very vulnerable to the ups and downs in the world price of this product.
The repercussions of the war in Ukraine
Beyond the tough stance of Masisi’s government, experts maintain that the terms of the pact are also the result of the domino effect of the war in Ukraine. As a consequence of the sanctions against Russia, the world’s largest exporter of natural diamonds, Western buyers are now avoiding that country’s precious stones, as the veto that previously affected the so-called “blood diamonds” from conflict zones, now includes theirs, too, explains Benno Leeser, from the Dutch company Gassan. This has forced them to look for other suppliers. “Our customers, watch suppliers for example, are now asking us to state on our invoice that the diamonds do not come from Russia,” he says. This has turned Botswana into “the most important source of diamonds in the world,” states diamond expert Paul Zimnisky.
The rising demand for non-Russian diamonds, combined with the high prices, has benefited both De Beers and the government of Botswana: in 2022, the turnover of the Debswana joint venture amounted to $4.6 billion, compared to $3.5 billion the previous year. Thanks to these proceeds, Botswana recorded a budget surplus of 0.6% for the first time since 2016.
However, even though the World Bank has stated that the diamond trade has allowed Botswana to become an upper-middle-income country (in the 1960s, after its independence, it had almost no paved roads and there were only three high schools) the wealth has not reached the entire population; the same institution places it among the most unequal nations on the planet, only above eight other countries. A 2021 report from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) notes that the disparity between standards of living is very pronounced, and that urban areas consume 76% more than rural areas. In other words, people living in and around Gaborone, the capital, have much more money to spend.
The Botswana government’s demand to earn more from its own raw materials is part of a larger, continent-wide trend. For instance, last year, the government of Zimbabwe introduced new measures to prevent lithium exports in order to keep the transformation process within the borders of the country. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the government has also taken a tougher stance in the negotiations on cobalt exports. Namibia, which also collaborates with De Beers, although to a lesser extent, is considering “following in Botswana’s footsteps” and demanding a greater share of revenue from the diamond trade in the renegotiations of their agreements.

As parents we have all kinds of goals for our kids. The more ambitious among us may want our children to grow up to be President or a superstar athlete. Some may want their kids to make a ton of money. Others may want their offspring simply to be happy. How many of you want to make sure your kid ends up in therapy?
I don’t see many hands raised. And it’s not that counseling isn’t necessarily a useful tool. It’s just that we would prefer that our kids don’t find themselves in situations where getting psychological help is needed or justified.
You can imagine my intrigue when a friend sent me an article entitled: How To Land Your Kid in Therapy, published in last summer’s The Atlantic magazine.
As an educator and a parent I was hooked immediately. The article is long but well worth sitting down for 20 minutes and absorbing, and discussing with your spouse or a similarly minded group of parents. And don’t be put off by the f-bomb dropped in the opening lines. As I mentioned, it goes for the early hook.
Written by renowned author, therapist, and mother, Lori Gottlieb, the article’s central tenet is this: we want to raise our children to be productive, happy adults. It’s what parenting has always been about – what our parents wanted for us, what our grandparents wanted for them, and back into eternity. But how we are going about it may be different. According to psychologists, many parents will do anything to avoid having their kids experience even mild discomfort, anxiety, or disappointment - “anything less than pleasant,” - with the result that when, as adults, they experience the normal frustrations of life, they think something must be terribly wrong.
Gottlieb asks us to “consider a toddler who’s running in the park and trips on a rock. Some parents swoop in immediately, pick up the toddler, and comfort her in that moment of shock, before she even starts crying. But this actually prevents her from feeling secure—not just on the playground, but in life. If you don’t let her experience that momentary confusion, give her the space to figure out what just happened (Oh, I tripped), and then briefly let her grapple with the frustration of having fallen and perhaps even try to pick herself up, she has no idea what discomfort feels like, and will have no framework for how to recover when she feels discomfort later in life. These toddlers become the college kids who text their parents with an SOS if the slightest thing goes wrong, instead of attempting to figure out how to deal with it themselves. If, on the other hand, the child trips on the rock, and the parents let her try to reorient for a second before going over to comfort her, the child learns: That was scary for a second, but I’m okay now. If something unpleasant happens, I can get through it. In many cases the child recovers fine on her own—but parents never learn this, because they’re too busy protecting their kid when she doesn’t need protection.”
As a parent, this is hard stuff to consider, because every ounce of our being wants to go and scoop up our child and not have him suffer. Those same toddlers grow up and go to college where a growing number of college deans have dubbed them “teacups” because they’re so fragile that they break down anytime things don’t go their way. According to parenting expert Wendy Mogel, who spoke in Colorado recently (see my earlier blog entry), “Well-intentioned parents have been metabolizing their anxiety for them their entire childhoods so they don’t know how to deal with it when they grow up,”
The good news is that most of us are doing a great job of parenting. We don’t have to be perfect, just good enough not to screw up our kids. We should give them confidence, but not over-praise; protect them from real danger, but allow them to fall and to fail; or in the words of Wendy Mogel, “Please let them be devastated at age 6 and not have their first devastation be in college!”
Sounds reasonable enough to me.

Hanging Rock Iron Region Furnaces
While iron production originated in the northeastern corner of Ohio during the first half of the nineteenth century, southern Ohioans soon dominated the industry. The most productive area was centered near Hanging Rock, along the Ohio River. By 1860, southern Ohioans had established sixty-nine iron furnaces, producing more than 100,000 tons of iron annually, across Gallia, Hocking, Jackson, Lawrence, Scioto, and Vinton Counties. The manufacturers sent much of the iron up and down the Ohio River to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, allowing southern Ohioans to prosper.

© Reuters. MACRON WANTS MORE ACCESS TO PUBLIC SERVICES IN THE TERRITORIES
PARIS (Reuters) – Emmanuel Macron will outline on Thursday its goal of improving access to public services in the territories, especially rural, where the number of atms and State officials has melted.
The head of State wishes to reverse this trend, including the development of houses in service to the public and forming more French to digital, ” says the Elysee.
A desire to reduce the number of civil servants – the figure of 120,000 over the five year period has been repeatedly confirmed – is unchanged. But this reduction will occur in the central governments and the poles are important.
“It’s just reversing a policy of pooling, declining public services, including the State, in the territories,” said a source at the Elysée. “We’re going to redéconcentrer, return a priority of the presence at departmental level, a little less at the regional level and to focus the main effort on the level of the central State.”
These points will be of help to the French who have the most difficulties with the new technologies, while the executive wants to dématéraliser 100% of administrative formalities by the end of the quinquennium. At the same time, a training plan will be launched.
The State estimated that 5 million people could access the services dématéralisés if they were trained. A “Pass” digital to access the trainings will be tested from September with several tens of thousands of people, with the possibility to extend this arrangement.

Taking an oral corticosteroid like prednisone or prednisolone long-term during pregnancy has been associated with an increased chance for preterm delivery (delivery before 37 weeks of pregnancy) and/or lower birth weight than expected.
How does steroids affect an unborn baby?
If a baby is at risk of being born too early, giving the mother steroids before the birth can help her unborn baby’s lungs to develop more quickly. This reduces the risk of serious complications or the newborn dying. Preterm birth is when a baby is born before 37 completed weeks of pregnancy.
Can I take steroids while pregnant?
Although it is considered optimal to use prednisone at less than 20mg/day in pregnancy, it is generally accepted that higher doses are allowable for aggressive disease. Inflammation from uncontrolled autoimmune activity is potentially more harmful to maternal and fetal health than high-dose steroids.
What are the side effects of steroids in pregnancy?
Maternal short-term effects after multiple courses of corticosteroids are an increase of infections and a higher incidence of endometritis and chorionamnionitis in patients with premature rupture of membranes.
When should I take steroids during pregnancy?
A single course of corticosteroids is recommended for pregnant women between 24 0/7 weeks and 33 6/7 weeks of gestation, and may be considered for pregnant women starting at 23 0/7 weeks of gestation, who are at risk of preterm delivery within 7 days 1 11 13.
Which steroid is safe in pregnancy?
Therefore, if steroid treatment is desired for the mother, hydrocortisone, cortisone, or prednisone should be chosen. Dexamethasone and betamethasone cross the placenta with similar maternal and fetal concentrations; thus, they are the treatment of choice for fetal respiratory distress.
How long does it take for steroids to help baby lungs?
The most common steroid, betamethasone (Celestone), is given in two doses, 12 milligrams (mg) each, 12 or 24 hours apart. The medications are most effective from 2 to 7 days after the first dose.
Which steroids cross the placenta?
Betamethasone and dexamethasone are fluorinated, synthetic corticosteroids with a similar molecular structure and an ability to cross the human placenta from mother to fetus.
Can steroids prevent miscarriage?
June 21, 2005 — A commonly used steroid medication may help women who suffer from frequent miscarriages. A small new study shows that the steroid prednisolone reduces the amount of a type of cell linked to recurrent miscarriages.
In which month baby’s lungs are fully developed?
At 40 weeks, the organs are usually fully developed. If a baby is born too early, the lungs may not be fully developed, and they may not function properly. Healthy lungs are crucial for overall health.
At what week are baby’s lungs fully developed?
Rate of Lung Development
Although it varies, a baby’s lungs are not considered fully-functioning until around 37 weeks gestation, which is considered “full-term.” However, because conception and development can happen at different rates, this not a hard and fast number.
Can dexamethasone terminate pregnancy?
The drug has been reported and observed to cause abortions in some breeds/species of animals like cattle, sheep and dog [22, 23]. These adverse effects of dexamethasone may be related to alterations in the normal concentrations of progesterone and estrogen and their receptors during pregnancy.
What steroids are given for preeclampsia?
A dose of antenatal steroids may be administered in anticipation of emergent delivery when gestational age is less than 32 weeks. Betamethasone (12 mg IM q24h × 2 doses) or dexamethasone (6 mg IM q12h × 4 doses) is recommended.
How many weeks is 8 months pregnant?
At eight months pregnant, you’re in the middle of the third trimester. Wondering exactly how many weeks is eight months pregnant? It’s not easy to place the 40 weeks of pregnancy squarely within nine distinct months. Eight months pregnant could start anywhere from week 29 to week 32 and end anywhere from week 32 to 35.

I started my Gee's Bend bracelet and didn't get very far. My sister called and then my son came in frozen and it was suppertime and then... movie time. Well, I didn't get back to it, instead I started something that I can do mindlessly while I am on the phone or 'watching' a movie...another project for my class, I think that it is easy enough for a beginner, 6/0 seed bead with 11/0 trim and varied glass beads for decoration... The glass bead is part of the clasp. I like doing this kind of beadwork. I sit by the pool and watch my son and his friends play and make bracelets one after another. This necklace is 22 inches without the clasp. It is kind of rough, but I was holding the phone with one shoulder.
Usually I do three or four different necklaces of one style that I am going to teach, one with the beads that the class will use, one piece with smaller beads that will show a more delicate look, and then one with something totally different like triangles, just to show you can use the same pattern as something different. The first is usually just a quick project that I think about and just do, Sometimes I actually sit down and sketch out whatever it is that I am going to teach, but really, I usually just do whatever pops into my mind, then sketch it out and label it. Kind of backwards I suppose, but really this is how I work. I don't like to feel constrained to one design, if I don't like what I am working on (unless it is something specifically asked for) I will just change in midstream and do what feels or looks right. Not many times have I changed what I am working on after it is finished.
Well the snow is all melted (except the snowmen and a few drifts and in the back of my truck) the official count was 10 inches, but it may have been a bit more at our house, it is hard to measure when it comes down the way it did. I'm hoping for another snow day, but doubt it will come anytime soon. Think we already got our share, plus, this winter. This is selfish of me I know, I like having my son home, and I like the opportunity to bead or paint if I want to. The idea of not going anywhere is really nice, but then life catches up and you have to emerge from the den and get on with worldly duties.
The Gee's Bend will wait another day, because I really want to make it exactly the way it was designed, not how I might change it... and I will have to sit down and look at the instructions and diagram of "blocks". It looks like fun, and while I don't use tile beads often, these are really pretty. I prefer to work in 11/0 and 15/0 seeds and 11/0 triangles. I love the look of the triangles in flat ribbons of peyote stitch. I don't use them to weave, but I think they would look really cool probably. I am really stingy with all the triangles that I get and haven't tried yet. I am stingy because we don't have a good bead outlet near where I live and have to buy when I go to Dallas or order on line, which I prefer buying while I can see the beads... like fabric, I want to fondle it before I buy it :)

text: Aging is associated with an increased prevalence of thyroid diseases. The diagnosis of overt hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism may be difficult since they are often pauci- or monosymptomatic. Subclinical forms of thyroid diseases, in particular hypothyroidism, are even more frequent. Therapeutic abstention with regular follow-up is usually recommended in hypothyroidism. Radical treatment is usually preferred for subclinical hyperthyroidism since heart complications may be severe. Increased prevalence of benign and malignant nodules is observed in the elderly. The prognosis of thyroid cancer is less favorable than in adults, due to a higher proportion of histological types with a worse evolution. Whatever the thyroid disease, diagnosis and treatment modalities should be adapted to the age and general conditions of the patient. Contradictory results have been reported on the relationship between thyroid status and neuromuscular and cognitive alterations linked to aging.
