Basehor to vote on new library
Basehor voters will cast their ballots April 6 on a $3.79 million bond issue to build a new Basehor Community Library on 158th Street.
On Wednesday, Feb. 11, the Basehor Community Library Board of Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution containing the estimated price for the new library and verbiage used for the bond issue vote.
The estimated cost adopted in the resolution Wednesday is slightly higher, $3.85 million, than the price voters will decide in April.
The difference between the cost adopted in the resolution and the figure voters will decide is approximately $60,000. The library will pay the difference from a capital improvement fund using funds garnered through fund-raising and land sales.
For the last year, the library board of trustees has met to discuss building a new facility. Basehor residents Ray and Anne Breuer donated the land on 158th Street for the proposed new library.
The current library, 2812 N. 155th Street, has been located in the city's downtown district since the library's founding in 1986.
Library officials contend the 3,500-square-foot-building is too small to serve a growing readership in Basehor. No space is available for new bookshelves, more computers and additional seating, library officials said.
A Lawrence-based architecture firm -- Glen, Livingood, Penzler and Miller Architects, Inc., -- has completed plans for the new library.
If approved by voters, the new facility would encompass 21,000 square feet of space. Five thousand square feet would be in the basement, which would be used for office space and storage.
Carla Kaiser, library director, said the library will begin campaigning for the bond issue very soon. The campaign will include mailing information to readers within the library district, attending meetings of local organizations to speak about the bond issue and hosting several public forums.
Bond issue campaign events have not been announced.

New Woman in Black poster makes its debut – We’re roughly a week away from the debut of Hammer Films’ The Woman in Black, starring Daniel Radcliffe in one of his biggest post-Harry Potter roles to date. The film opens on February 3rd, but we’ve yet to see a final poster for the release. Instead, we’ve got a look at the newest piece of promotional art for the movie, which you can see above.
We like this teaser, but we’re genuinely curious as to when we’ll get a legitimate final poster for this title. This can’t really be it, can it?
Video shows uncut scenes from German version of Hitchcock’s Psycho - While this clip has been floating around the Internet since the middle of 2010 (which officially makes it older than Jesus in Internet time), it’s still really cool.
German viewers were tresated to a slightly altered version of Psycho when the film aired in their country – one that noticeably more explicit. While US censors were strict about the film’s violence and the undressing scene, Germany took a more liberal approach – resulting in some interesting differences between the two versions.
This clip showcases the changes (including a more violent Arbogast death sequence) when compared to the US version, which makes for fascinating viewing for anyone who loves Hitchcock’s classic film. Check it out below and see these extended scenes in all of their uncut glory.
Brian Keene’s Ghoul gets a release date: In the spirit of full disclosure, horror author Brian Keene and I have been friends for a long time – but that doesn’t mean he gets preferential treatment from me (nor would he ever ask for it.) That being said, we’ve finally got an official release date for Ghoul – the film adaptation of his coming of age novel about monsters lurking beneath a Pennsylvania town and the kids who must confront them.
Ghoul recently had its Slamdance premiere (to great acclaim) and the masses can finally see what all the fuss is about when it premieres on the Chiller network on Friday, April 13th at 9PM. Set your DVRs -- you'll want to check this one out.
John Cusack looks ready to fly away in new The Raven poster – It’s been a busy week for John Cusack’s The Raven. First came news that the film was being shifted from its March release date and pushed back to April 27th, then they released this cool new poster.
Say what you will about Cusack playing the noted horror author and father of detective fiction (we find it a little hard to swallow, but if Robert Downey Jr. can make the cerebral Sherlock Holmes an action hero, then we’re willing to give Cusack the benefit of the doubt here), but the film and poster look interesting. Cusack’s Poe is called upon to help a Baltimore detective catch a serial killer basing his crimes on the author’s works. Now the question is when do we get a film starring HP Lovecraft duking it out with a deadly Cthulhu cult?
Lynne Ramsay’s We Need to Talk About Kevin hasn’t been marketed as a horror film – but rest assured, it is as horrific as anything concocted in a Saw movie or any of the other “torture porn” flicks that have become synonymous with the genre in recent years. Unlike those films, though, We Need to Talk About Kevin is much smarter – its horror much deeper and more disturbing than the brutal death of films like Hostel. This isn’t a title that mistakes gore for terror – it’s a tale that delves deep into some of the things that should truly scare us. It’s a shame that horror as a genre has been so marginalized that a film like this – a movie filled with things that are genuinely upsetting and unsettling – has to be labeled as something more akin to a thriller.
Based on Lionel Shriver’s novel of the same name, We Need to Talk About Kevin instantly evokes memories of countless “evil kid” movies – titles like The Bad Seed or The Good Son. It is, in the most basic sense, a bad kid movie – titular Kevin is a mother-hating monster from the moment he’s born until the film’s final scenes, which find him approaching his 18th birthday. Yet, to sell Kevin in such simplistic tones might be good marketing (audiences like to have an idea of what they’re in for before they enter a theater), it really does a disservice to Shriver’s novel and Ramsay’s film overall. This is something deeper than just another generic “evil kid” flick – it’s a story of evil, for sure, but it’s also one of guilt, and loss, and penance, and regret. Its examination of evil extends beyond the obvious (Kevin) and how it can spread like a cancer, inflicting people who are otherwise good and decent folk. To write the film off in such glib terms as classifying it as another version of The Orphan seems to sell this work short.
Tilda Swinton’s Eva Khatchadourian is the film’s real focal point. A travel writer who gives up her life of globetrotting when she meets a man (John C. Reilly) and bears him a son, things seem destined for domestic bliss. However, as Ramsay intercuts present day footage with flashbacks involving Eva’s early days with her child, we know something has happened in the interim that has left her broken, depressed, and despised by the people in her community.
What happens, in short, is Kevin. From the time her son is born until he commits his atrocities in a locked gymnasium, Kevin is adversarial at every turn. From his constant screaming fits as an infant to his destructive toddler years through to his murderous rampage, Kevin is clearly not normal. He seems to hate Eva – yet hides how he feels about her from his father. The kid drives a wedge into everything – including Eva’s marriage – and he continually widens these chasms as he ages.
If the film has any significant shortcoming, it’s that young Kevin is a little too “bad seed” to take seriously. The level of malevolence this child displays from such an early age can be difficult to swallow and kept me from wholly embracing the story early on. The child actors who play the character at all of his various ages are great (and in a nice touch, they all look very similar), but it requires a fair amount of disbelief suspending to buy that a kid who’s two or three years old can be this manipulative and cunning. Yes, that’s sort of the point – Kevin is like us on the surface, but only there, and underneath it all he’s as alien as anything that ever supposedly came here on a flying saucer – but it dances dangerously close to implausible and threatens to upset the entire house of cards Ramsay is building
Luckily, the apple cart is never upset and the film works. We Need to Talk About Kevin isn’t the first film to deal with the phenomenon of school killers (Gus Van Sant’s Elephant predates it by years), but it is arguably the best – and one of the only ones to examine these heinous acts through the eyes of someone intimately involved but relegated to the periphery. If you ever wondered what life might have been like for the Harris and Klebold families in the wake of Columbine, this could have been it. Because it examines these ideas and situations in a (mostly) compelling and intelligent fashion, We Need to Talk About Kevin emerges as one of the best films of 2011 and proof that “horror” can be more than just masked slashers and torture.
Horror on the Horizon
January has been pretty decent to horror film fans, and the last week of the month and the start of February look set to continue the trend.
First up, director Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Tree – sequel to the cult classic horror flick The Wicker Man – opens in limited release on January 27th. Early buzz has been mixed, but the idea of Hardy returning to make a sequel all these years later is intriguing.
February 3rd sees the wide release of The Woman in Black, which finds Daniel Radcliffe exploring life post Harry Potter. Radcliffe stars as a young lawyer sent to a small village where the ghost of a scorned woman is terrorizing the locals in the feature film version. Brought to us by the fine folks at Hammer, this one should please fans of period ghost stories.
The rest of the week sees limited releases for Ti West’s The Innkeepers and the British chiller Kill List. Both features are already available on VOD (where they’ve earned tons of praise from horror fans), but if you’re itching to see them on the big screen, check your local listings.

The Hamiltons are a poor family living on dry, barren land, but Adam Trask and his wife Cathy Trask are rich from inheritance and live on a fertile and rich piece of land with a large quantity of water available.

John Steinbeck’s East of Eden: Summary & Analysis East of Eden Some of the most aspiring and influential authors show to be American novelists. American novelists brought about a new style of writing, which became very popular. John Steinbeck shows this style of writing in his novel, East of Eden. A wilful young man contends against his brother for the attention of their religious father while reconnecting with his estranged mother and falling for his brother's girlfriend.
In the Salinas Valley, in and around World War I, Cal Trask feels he must compete against overwhelming odds with his brother Aron for the love of their father Adam.

Adam is the more beloved by his father, despite being softer, but Charles craves his father's love and doesn't get it—and on one occasion he takes his anger out on Adam. In many ways, East of Eden, Steinbeck’s mythic magnum opus, is an answer to these questions.

Paladin has acquired rights to Michael Damian’s dance-driven drama High Strung after the pic premiered over the weekend at the Santa Barbara Film Festival. The plan is to release the film theatrically on more than 100 screens nationwide April 8. The Orchard has home entertainment rights and will launch the film later this spring. Bloom Media handled worldwide sales, with Disney International acquiring the majority of international rights.
Written and produced by Damian and his wife Janeen, the film follows Ruby Adams (ballerina Keenan Kampa), a classical dancer with a scholarship to one of New York’s performing arts schools who meets Johnnie Blackwell (Nicholas Galitzine), an aspiring British musician who plays for money on subway platforms. Faced with adversity, they join forces and, with the help of a dance crew called The SwitchSteps, prep for a competition that unites their disparate worlds. Jane Seymour, Sonoya Mizuno, Comfort Fedoke and Ian Eastwood co-star, and Step Up 3D choreographer Dave Scott is also featured in and choreographed the dance routines.

Professor Mike Morgan, NHS England's national clinical director for respiratory services, said: "These statistics are a call to action.
"Every patient should have a care plan which should be regularly reviewed and patients should be supported to manage their asthma, including effective inhaler technique and knowledge of their condition.
"In February last year, National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (Nice) produced a set of quality standards which make it clear that local commissioners should integrate services so that asthma sufferers receive a consistently high quality service from childhood to adulthood."

Exercise as it relates to Disease/How childhood motor skills lead to an active life
The following Wikibooks page is an analysis of the journal article; “Childhood Motor Skill Proficiency as a Predictor of Adolescent Physical Activity” by L M. Barnett, M.P.H et al. (2008).
This critique was written as an assessment task for the unit; Health, Disease and Exercise at the University of Canberra, September 2019.
What is the background to this research?[edit | edit source]
Recent evidence has suggested that sedentary behaviour is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue, especially within the adolescent population. In Australia, it was found that only 2% of adolescents (13-17) met both the physical activity and sedentary guidelines, which is concerning, as sedentary behaviour is heavily associated with metabolic risk and chronic disease-related mortality.
This increase in sedentary behaviour could be attributed to the continual advancements in new-age technology, where by the clicking of a button makes everyday things become more accessible. This in turn has seen a rapid decline in the amount of physical activity being done by adolescents.
This now bids the question of whether or not identifying health factors in children may lead to increased physical activity levels as they get older. There is some evidence to suggest that physical activity habits track from childhood to adulthood – meaning more active kids are more likely to be active adults. However little is known about whether or not fundamental motor skill proficiency is a determinant of physical activity levels.
About the article[edit | edit source]
This article examines the link between childhood motor skill proficiency and subsequent adolescent physical activity behaviour. The study was undertaken to dissect the relationship between childhood locomotor and object control skill proficiency, and later physical activity, in an attempt to provide evidence for the development of interventions.
Where is the research from?[edit | edit source]
This study was conducted through the University of Sydney, Department of Rural Health (Northern Rivers), New South Wales, Australia. It was funded by both NSW Health and the University of Sydney. All the authors involved in this study are from recognised and reputable health study institutions across both NSW and America.The article was published in 2009 by the Journal of Adolescent Health, a leading journal in the latest findings of adolescent health and medicine.
What kind of research was this?[edit | edit source]
Data from this research was obtained via a longitudinal cohort study.Longitudinal cohort studies involve a group of people who share a common characteristic, and are a form of observational research whereby data of the same variables is collected over a period of time. This type of study is useful as it is able to follow change over time in particular individuals within the cohort; as well as by collecting data prior to any participant knowledge of further research – which eliminates recall bias.
What did the research involve?[edit | edit source]
This article displays that data collection for this study occurred in three stages:
In 2000, 1045 primary school children from 18 randomly selected schools in New South Wales, partook in a school-based physical activity intervention. During the intervention, their proficiency in a collection of motor skills was assessed. In 2006/07, a list of original study participants was sent out to high schools all across NSW to identify the now adolescent students for a follow-up assessment. This was referred to as the ‘Physical Activity and Skills Study’.
2.Motor skill measurement
The initial intervention specified a collection of fundamental motor skills (catch, overhand throw, kick, forehand strike, sprint run, leap, dodge, vertical jump). Each skill was made up of a number of features that were considered integral for performing the skill competently. Each feature of each skill was assessed as either present or absent, and the participant received no verbal feedback.
3.Physical activity measurement
The Adolescent Physical Activity Recall Questionnaire (APARQ) was chosen to assess physical activity participation as it measures type of activity, frequency, duration, and whether it was organised or un-organised. Liner relationships were examined between reported time adolescents spent engaging in physical activity and their childhood skill proficiency.
Limitations[edit | edit source]
It is well known that the self-report approach can impact on the validity of a study, as interviewees may answer questions about themselves with bias. Participants may over- or under exaggerate their answers; i.e. say they completed more physical activity than they actually did.
In addition, the recall questionnaire asks a multitude of subjective questions, which leads to the possibility of misinterpretation. Questions may be vague and misunderstood. For example, what one person considers to be strenuous exercise, another may find light.
What were the basic results?[edit | edit source]
Results show that in childhood, males were more proficient at performing motor skills overall. Males were better at object control skills, however females out-performed males in terms of locomotor skills.
Follow up results of physical activity in adolescents indicate that almost all students participated in some sort of moderate-vigorous activity during adolescent years, however males reported more.
After adjusting for school grade and gender, the data revealed that object control proficiency in childhood was associated with time in moderate-to-vigorous activity in adolescence.
In summary, children with good object control skills have at least a 20% greater chance of participating in at least some vigorous activity in adolescence, compared with those with poor control.
What conclusions can we take from this research?[edit | edit source]
Overall, the study was valid and took into account the limitations. The recruitment of both male and female participants within specific age ranges supplied thorough and reliable data. It is now obvious that skill proficiency developed in primary school years significantly impacts on later physical activity, with object control skills, rather than locomotor, appearing more crucial to total activity time.
In an age where technology is continually advancing, and young people would rather spend their time on screens, it is necessary that children are encouraged to participate in fundamental motor skills as early as possible. Parents are equally responsible for their child’s engagement in these activities, and should spend time with their children helping them develop these skills.
Practical advice[edit | edit source]
In order to try and combat the issue, the authors of this article provide practical advice for the development of health interventions.
When developing school and community-based interventions, one should consider directing strategies around fundamental motor skills in an attempt to promote long-term physical activity. It may also be suggested that paying close attention to object control skills in primary aged students specifically, is the most promising way to stimulate physical activity in their adolescent years.
Furthermore, parents and families can refer to the Australian Government Department of Healthand follow the appropriate guidelines relating to how much physical activity and sedentary behaviour is recommended to lead a healthy life.

COMPOSITE POWDERS AND APPARATUS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF THE SAME Filed May '7, 1965 United States Patent U.S. Cl. 204-273 Int. Cl. B01k 3/00 4 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A composite powder consisting essentially of a core of tungsten, titanium or the carbides, borides, silicides, nitrides and oxides of tungsten or titanium and an envelope electrodeposited thereon, said envelope being nickel, cobalt, copper or silver; and an apparatus for preparing said composite powders.
This invention relates to composite powders and to processes and apparatus for the production of the same.
A composite powder within the meaning of the invention is a powder, the individual grains of which consist of two or more components which, without being chemically bonded, cannot be readily separated mechanically. Such is the case, more particularly, when one component completely surrounds the other component, in which arrangement one component is called the core, while the other one is called the envelope or jacket.
Such materials are used in powder metallurgy and in the field of flame-spraying.
An important advantage of such arrangements over similarly composed mixtures resides in the fact that they cannot separate into their different components when they are handled. The contact between the two phases (envelope/ core) is very intimate and the surfaces of contact are maximal. Another important advantage when compared with alloys resides in the fact that the heat of formation in the composite powder is preserved and becomes free and can be utilized only during subsequent thermal processing. Moreover, composite powders make it possible, for example, to overcome difficulties of wetting, to prevent agglomerations during dispersion and to obtain greater molding strengths.
In a known process for the production of composite powders, the envelope is applied to the core by hydrogen pressure reduction of the corresponding ammoniacal metallic salt solution.
It has now been found that it is possible to apply the envelopes to the cores electrolytically, i.e., by means of a process similar to the one which is used in galvanotechniques (electroplating) in the production of corresponding bulk goods.
The essential differences with respect to the last-named process reside in the fact that the individual particles are incomparably smaller than the bulk goods and need not necessarily be metals.
The envelope materials used according to the invention are all metals which can be electrolytically separated from aqueous solution, preferably Ni, Co, Cu, and Ag. The materials used for the core are preferably metallic powders, as well as powders of carbides, borides, silicides, and suitable oxides, which do not react with the electrolyte. Solutions similar to those used in galvanotechniques are used as electrolytes. The electrolytes are selected depending on the composition of the composite powder desired.
The anode material used is the material of the desired envelope. Insoluble anode material, such as, for example, platinized titanium, is also suitable as anode material; however, in this case the electrolyte must be constantly renewed.
It is essential for the process according to the invention that the material be constantly turned, either continuously or discontinuously, that it be possibly not in suspension during the current flow, and that the cathode surface remain covered with powder almost completely and uniformly during the electrolysis.
A tank with a cathodically connected metallic bottom, for example, nickel is used for the electrolysis. The anode comprises holes to allow the escape of possibly evolving gases and is suspended in the tank parallel to the bottom thereof.
The apparatus provided with an automatic turning device, comprises a plastic plate, which will be described below, between the anode and cathode. If the operation is a discontinuous one, the turning is effected in that the current is disconnected and the anode is lifted out, and then the material is turned by hand and is uniformly distributed over the bottom.
The operation proceeds as follows: the core material is uniformly distributed at the bottom, whereupon the automatic turning device is introduced, the anode being suspended thereabove. Suitable electrolyte solution is then added in an amount such that the anode is completely covered. After the automatic turning device has been connected, the voltage is applied to the cell.
The duration and intensity of the current flow depends on the desired composition of the composite powder and on the resistance of the bath.
After the electrolysis is terminated, the electrolyte is siphoned off, the composite powder is conveyed onto a suction filter and is washed in a suitable manner. After drying, the material obtained in this manner is, in general, the finished composite powder. If the composite powder is to have a specific grain size distribution, it must be screened in the usual manner. Oversized grain, caused partially by the natural increase of the diameter due to one layer being covered with another, and partially to the fact that several grains are covered together, can be ground to the desired grain or particle size.
In the case of some core materials, not every grain is covered. This difficulty can subsequently be overcome, for example, when nickel and cobalt are used as the envelope material, in that a subsequent magnetic separation and demagnetization is carried out.
The invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment as illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
FIGURE 1 is a side view partly in section of a cell provided in accordance with the invention; and
FIGURE 2 is a top plan view of one of the components of the cell.
The accompanying drawing shows an electrolyzing cell according to the invention with automatic turning device or apparatus. The inside diameter of the tank amounts, for example, to 40 cm.
The process is carried out in the following manner:
After the electrolyzing cell 1 has been charged, as -described above, the automatic turning device 5, which is a perforated plastic disc or plate, is caused to start to rotate slowly (for example, 0.5 to 6 revolutions per minute) by means of a motor 3 with gear 4 arranged adjustably on a vertical holding rod 2.
For this purpose, the disc is held in position by a drive rod 6 arranged in the center of the disc and extending perpendicularly to said disc. For insulating purposes the rod 6 is covered with a plastic layer or coating 7. The rod 6 can be connected to the motor shaft 9 by way of a coupling member 8.
In the manner of a Nipkow disc, non-conductive plastic pins 10, disposed along a figure S, are driven into the non-conductive plate 5. Said plate 5, provided with holes 18, is fitted with very little play in the tank 11 of the electrolyzing cell 1.
During the operation, the pins just contact the bottom 13 of the tank 11, said bottom being connected to the cathode 12. An insulating plastic plate 15 is arranged between the bottom 13 and a base plate 14.
Due to said arrangement, each increment of the bottom 13 is contacted once during each revolution and the material is turned.
Arranged above the plastic plate 5 is the anode 16 which, as already stated, is a perforated disc which is provided in its center with a bore 17, through which the rod 6 of the plastic disc is guided with play. The anode is suspended in the tank 11 by means of a suspension 19.
Example 1 The powder desired is a composite powder consisting of tungsten carbide and 12% Co having a grain size of 4080 The starting material is a tungsten carbide, grain size 37 to 70 of which 2.5 kg. are used. The electrolyte is a solution of 60 g. of cobalt sulfate per liter and 150 g. of ammonium sulfate per liter, which is adjusted to a pH of about 7 with ammonia. The amperage amounts to 48 amp the voltage will be approximately 2 volts. Electrolysis is carried out for 6.50 hours. After Washing and drying, about 2800 g. of composite powder are extracted. 2.5 kg. thereof pass through a suitable screen; the remaining 300 g. are ground in a ball mill for 15 minutes. After screening there remains a residue of about 100 g. of oversize grains. The material having the right grain size is separated magnetically. Magnetic separation shows 2,200 g. of strongly magnetic fractions with 12.3% C0, 120 g. of weakly magnetic fractions with 3.6% Co, and 360 g. of non-magnetic material. After demagnetization, the strongly magnetic fraction is the desired finished composite powder. The remainder is used again as starting material in subsequent operations.
Photomicrographs show that the tungsten carbide cores are almost 100% covered with cobalt.
Example 2 The powder desired is a composite powder consisting of a tungsten core having an average grain size of 6a with a 3.5% Ni and 1.5% Cu coating. 2.5 kg. of the desired core material are used as the starting material. First, electrolysis is carried out for two hours at 48 amp with a weakly ammonical nickel-chloride solution which contains 150 g. of ammonium chloride per liter. The material obtained in this manner passes 100% through the finest screen and contains no non-magnetic constituents. A mixture of 40 preparations had a nickel content of 3.4% determined analytically. The desired material is electrolyzed for 55 minutes at 48 amp with an ammonium-sulfate-containing copper sulfate solution neutralized to pH 7. The resulting material is screened through a 400 mesh screen; there remains a residue of about 2% of high-copper containing oversized grain. The screened material of 40 preparations is mixed and has a copper content of 1.6% The total amount of the 40 preparations amounts to 102 kg. of composite powder of the desired composition.
Example 3 The powder desired is a titanium/nickel composite powder of a grain size of 140+325 mesh with a titanium core and a nickel content of 60% Ni. 400 g. of titanium powder of the grain size .200+325 mesh are used. Electrolysis is carried out with an electrolytic solution, as described in Example 2, for 6 /2 hours at 48 amp.
The material is turned manually and discontinuously,
namely, about every twenty minutes, during the electrolysis. Since the light titanium powder tends to stick to the cathode, the latter is greased with Vaseline prior to use. The material is dried after the electrolysis and is screened through a 200 mesh screen. The constituent 200 consists mainly of titanium powder with a very small content of nickel. The coarse fraction is ground and is screened through a 140 mesh screen. passes through the screen and is the desired composite powder.
The great number of possible components for envelope and core allows a very large amount of combinations. Thus it is impossible to quote all conceivable practical examples. In all possible combinations the method according to the invention is the same. The method according to the invention is based on a system which is not restricted either by the nature or by the number of the combinations cited in the practical examples. Further examples will easily fit in this system.

Fargodome officials investigate claims of employee using “discriminatory language”
The discussion between the employee and another worker was caught on camera.
FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) -Fargodome officials are now investigating claims of an employee allegedly using discriminatory language during a discussion while working Saturday’s NDSU Bison vs UND Fighting Hawks game.
A video was sent to us by a whistleblower, who states a day worker was asked to take off a scarf he was wearing on his head.
According to the whistleblower, the other individual later mentioned it was worn as part of his Islamic faith, but he was still asked to take it off.
The employee, who was accused of using discriminatory language, was asked if that rule still applied to women wearing hijabs.
The accused employee said, “if she comes here in a rag, she is not working. You have to see the face, you have to see the hair. There’s no mask here, no rags here.”
In a statement, Fargodome’s General Manager Rob Sobolik said ”there are no restrictions on articles of clothing worn pertaining to an individual’s faith.”
The GM adds the video has been forwarded to appropriate Fargodome departments and the City of Fargo for further investigation.

Rey's sophisticated psychological thriller grips us from the start. Lucie, anachronistic in gown and heels, disappears, possibly into the yawning Australian interior. Renfield – "brazen, funny, charming" to some, an indefensible monster to others, notably women – will take days to notify police. Alternative scenarios are offered to investigators, attempting to explain the hostilities. Character studies deepen. The couple's unedifying history, Bruyere's journey to Australia, and her fate, begin to cohere through steady accretions.
But what lends Rey's novel extra momentum and urgency is the serendipity of its publication date. There is something powerfully of the zeitgeist in this story of a woman's eclipse being threatened by a celebrated brute.
The Lovers' stark truths, and denouement, unfold through a suite of first-person accounts, monologues constituted by witness statements to police during their questioning. Each monologue is headed by a name and place of interview – less chapter titles than a form of legal brief, collated into a rough time-line. Unlike most police procedurals, however, Rey's witnesses take charge of the narrative, for we never hear the police speak.
The investigating officers function, here, as ciphers. They, and the reader, must discern, in silence, the credibility, or otherwise, of the witness stories. Nothing is straightforward about the detectives' task; because while prizing the truth from a witness is an art, constructing a watertight and convincing narrative from fragments, people's observations, behaviours, slips, is a parlous responsibility. Just ask any writer.
So, who is truthful, slippery, self-deluding, a liar? Who ticks boxes for all the above? Is Lucie "a harmless little sprite" who's been bullied into despair? What possessed her to leave the sophistication of Europe, only to find herself playing handmaid to an Australian pig? And what, if anything, can explain Renfield's protracted years of unconscionable, and possibly criminal, behaviour?
The Lovers is an impressive feat of complex and nuanced story-telling. It spans continents, generations, multiple viewpoints, it inhabits characters whose sensibilities and endeavours place them fundamentally at odds. It contemplates what art is – for the artist, artists' companions, and "consumers". It ponders how great art can indeed be made by an "appalling piece of humanity". It illuminates the debasements women suffer in bad relationships – even if Lucie Bruyere, herself, is afforded only eight of the novel's 230 pages to air them. Lucie is everywhere spoken about, but is missing in action – a lacuna I noticed only after putting the book down. (Sobering, for a reader who identifies as feminist).
The Lovers also has vital things to say about white Australians' approach to Indigenous history, but it's as a portrait of a catastrophically doomed love affair – in which a man and a woman's differences are like tectonic plates shearing under pressure – that it becomes a tour de force.
This is Rey's first English language novel – her six works to date were composed in French – which makes The Lovers high-wire ambitious. Overlook some hiccups with the vernacular, an exaggerated effect, here and there, and English feels like Rey's adopted home.

Words that restore, words that transform
October 30, 2020 – Defence Stories

Angèle Séguin is a playwright and the co-founder and artistic director of the Théâtre des Petites Lanternes. She never dreamed that one day she would immerse herself in a creative endeavour exploring the reality of serving in the military. Yet she has been working for almost three years on the Monarques project, which takes a compassionate approach to trauma resulting from operational stress as experienced and recounted by veterans, their families and their friends.
This unusual collaboration, in which the arts meet the military, began in 2017 when the Eastern Townships Veterans Committee contacted the Théâtre des Petites Lanternes with a proposition that would reveal the suffering – too often silent – of former military members across the country. “This was a human drama. It was not up to us to express an opinion on the relevance of war or the army, but to use our artistic work as a way of unlocking the words of the men and women who dare not speak. So we chose to begin with their own personal stories and use those to create a sensitive work focusing on what brings us together,” Angèle Séguin explained.

The starting point for the creative process will be the Grande Cueillette des Mots (great gathering of words), to be launched in January 2021. This participatory approach was developed by the theatre company, and it has been used in the past to shine a light on human tragedies that have afflicted different communities around the world (the Lac-Mégantic disaster, the widespread violence against women and children in the Republic of the Congo, the 2010 earthquake in Haiti). Beginning in early 2021, nearly 800 veterans and their loved ones will be invited to participate in writing workshops. They will each receive a notebook in which they can write freely and anonymously about post-traumatic stress, suffering, strength, fragility and resilience. This exercise will be made possible thanks to support from various organizations – first in Quebec and the National Capital Region, then in the rest of Canada when resources allow. The notebooks containing the testimonies will be collected and used as raw material for the creation of a bilingual theatrical work, which will be presented in late 2022.
The hope is that giving veterans and their loved ones a platform where their voices can be heard will enable them to reclaim their personal histories, help them reflect on and understand their multiple realities, and contribute to building a bridge between military members and civilian society. Words will be used as a means toward achieving individual and collective restoration and transformation.
The Monarques project involves contributors from various walks of life (universities, the arts, health professionals) and a steering committee that includes fifteen members from the military community: representatives of veterans’ committees, the Royal Canadian Legion, the Transition Unit, the chaplaincy, Military Family Resource Centres, and Primary Reserve and Regular Force members of 35 Canadian Brigade Group.

“When I understood that the project would help destigmatize operational stress injuries, including PTSD, as well as inform the public, stimulate discussion in society at large of a subject which is poorly understood, and help our members overcome isolation and perhaps contribute to their recovery, I had no choice but to get involved,” said Major Luc Lacombe, Deputy Commanding Officer of the Transition Unit and a member of the steering committee, during the launch of the Monarques project at a press conference on 20 August.
Ms. Séguin is delighted by the strong collaboration and response from the military community which is making this ambitious project possible. An important goal for her is to enrich the project’s content by obtaining the testimonies of veterans from diverse communities (women, First Nations, LGBTQ2+, ethnocultural) – and she’s spreading the word.

Time to play with some TAC stamps!! Be sure to check out Michelle's blog to see what she's created too!!
For those of you who are friends with my on Facebook--you've already seen this, hehe--but for those who haven't, on Wednesday I decided I should change my name to Veruca Salts as I just want, want, want so many of the stamps being released! They are all so awesome!
A little reminder who Veruca Salts is~ See video HERE! (she's from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory).
While I was in the mood, I thought of the perfect stamp to create a card with today! This is from the set It's Your Day. Such fun, fun images!!
(and for the record, although I have days when I feel like Veruca, I really know I'm not quite that bad as I realize how blessed I am, how fortunate in more ways than I can count and I always try to pass along smiles to others.)
The little details~ It's Your Day, Memento Tuxedo Black, copics, cardstock, stardust pens, Kaleidoscope Girlz, Martha Stewart punch, button, scrappers floss,

Gemmology is a fictional cinematic narrative that aims to engage teenagers with the subject of history while exploring the myths behind gemstones.
With the intention to make museums more powerfully communicative a series of 3D videos and a virtual reality experience have been created to actualize an adventurous and thrilling journey across time.
Jewels such as turquoise, jade or lapis will come alive and welcome us to travel back in time, thousands of years ago to explore ancient Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. They will narrate their memories, how they were discovered and how they shaped the history of the most important civilizations of all times.

Golf is a dying sport, and country club memberships are seen as an elitist relic of the past. But cultural changes are only one reason golf courses are falling out of favor: The chemical-laden, water-guzzling greens are especially irresponsible for areas hit by drought. Here’s an idea from Japan for those sunny green fairways: Use them to generate solar energy instead.
Japan energy giant Kyocera broke ground last week on a 23-megawatt solar farm that’s being installed on an abandoned golf course in the Kyoto Prefecture, making it the largest solar energy array in the region. But that’s not even the only golf-to-solar project in the country. A 92-megawatt solar farm is planned for land in Kagoshima Prefecture that was designated for a golf course, but was never built.
Repurposing golf courses for energy generation makes sense in Japan, where an economic crisis reigned in frivolous expenses and space for solar panels is at a premium (Kyocera is also behind the famous floating solar arrays just off Japan’s coast). But the idea it seems to be catching on in the US as well. According to Quartz, golf courses in New York and Minnesota are also replacing golf courses with solar farms.
These aren’t even the sunniest spots in the country—think of the potential in places that could really use all that water being dumped on golf courses, like Arizona and California. The overdevelopment of golf infrastructure has resulted in a glut of courses in these arid climates that also happen to have lots of sun. Maybe they could use James Cameron’s concept and plant a field of solar sunflowers.

A kind person in our Stroud Permaculture group gave me some plants last year of Nine-star perennial broccoli. It is a relative of our wild cabbages and is a short lived perennial growing up to approx. 1m tall.
Nine Star Perennial Broccoli plants
In the garden it is not a thing of beauty and it has to be protected from the voracious pigeons. I was doubtful about it last year, but now I have enjoyed the crop I think it is well worth giving Nine-star perennial broccoli time and space in the garden.
Other than weeding around the base and a new mulch of hay there is nothing to do now.
Ready for steaming on the hob
Tastes like a mild cauliflower with a hint of broccoli – very delicious.
Would I recommend it ? Yes – I’d give it 9 stars!
