Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz said “life has been a blur” over the past two months, as he has steered the country’s central bank through perhaps the most difficult, hectic and complicated period in its history in response to COVID-19.
In the prepared text for a speech delivered in a private teleconference to graduate students at the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario, Mr. Poloz called the crisis “exhausting.” The bank’s hectic activities since early March have included three interest-rate cuts totalling 1.5 percentage points, as well as a wide range of financial asset purchases that have provided emergency liquidity to markets and added $260-billion to the central bank’s balance sheet, roughly tripling its size.
“Let me just say that the work, the meetings, the video conferences, the phone calls were relentless,” Mr. Poloz said. “There were global meetings of groups like the G7, G20, BIS and International Monetary Fund, all at very early hours in our time zone; bilateral calls with other central bank heads; and domestic meetings – with the CEOs of the Big Six banks, pension fund CEOs, market regulators and other Ottawa officials. And of course, many meetings with my own team, adjusting our policies and other programs in real time.”
He said the fast-growing severity of the situation sunk in personally for him when he attended a memorial service for an old friend on March 8 – and had first-hand experience with the rising concerns about physical distancing.
“That was my last social activity, and we were afraid to shake hands or touch the food. I will always recall my dear friend Jim’s memorial service as the moment when the penny truly dropped.”
The speech at the London, Ont., school will likely be Mr. Poloz’s last before his seven-year term as head of the central bank expires on June 2. The government hasn’t yet named his successor, although the decision, which rests with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau, is believed to be in its final stages.
Mr. Poloz defended the aggressive financial market actions that the Bank of Canada has taken in recent weeks to defend against the risks of a seizing-up of credit – and the resulting expansion of the bank’s balance sheet that has raised concerns among some critics that the actions could stoke inflation.
“This of course would be inflationary in an economy that was functioning normally, but the whole point is that ours is not – given the forces acting on the economy, these actions are stabilizing, not inflationary,” Mr. Poloz said.
“If the central bank did not provide that liquidity, a credit crunch would ensue, and that would create a significant downdraft in the economy – in effect, a deflationary shock,” he said.
“Later, when the recovery begins and tensions ease, people will put their money back into financial assets or pay down their lines of credit. At that point, the process goes into reverse, and the central bank’s balance sheet can return to a more normal level.”
Mr. Poloz also acknowledged that the bank’s decision not to publish specific economic forecasts in its mid-April monetary policy report was “a controversial decision,” but said the bank felt such numbers wouldn’t be helpful during a period of such extreme uncertainty.
“There was no shortage of forecast numbers out there. The situation seemed to be devolving into a contest for who was gutsy enough to forecast the biggest decline in economic activity. As the central bank, we don’t play that game,” Mr. Poloz said.
“We heard phrases like ‘bigger recession than the global financial crisis,’ ‘biggest recession since World War II’ and ‘biggest recession since the Great Depression.’ Such comparisons are unhelpful, for they use arithmetic to compare various events that had very different effects on people,” he said.
“A recession is a dynamic phenomenon: demand declines, firms lay off workers, confidence declines, people demand even less, more firms lay off workers. In other words, it is a negative dynamic that takes time and healing to reverse,” he said.
“At this point, there is no reason to assume that any of these behavioural dynamics will emerge from the current episode."

Lions' Kenny Golladay earns 186% pay bump for 2020 season
Allen Park — The primary benefit for NFL teams to consistently draft well in the later rounds is it provides cap flexibility. Rookies are cheap and players drafted in the third round or later are paid little more than veteran minimum for their first four seasons.
But the league's collective bargain agreement has a clause that rewarded those late-round picks for developing into key contributors. Any player drafted in the third round or later who either plays 35 percent of a team's offensive or defensive snaps two of their first three seasons, or an average of 35 percent over those first three seasons, receives a significant pay increase for the fourth and final year of their rookie deals.
Instead of making a salary at or close to veteran minimum, those players that hit the Proven Performance Escalator see an increase in their base salary that correlates to the lowest restricted free agent tag that year.
In 2020, that's $2.147 million, and that's what Lions receiver Kenny Golladay is now set to earn.
Golladay, a third-round pick out of Northern Illinois in 2017, was originally slated to make $750,500 in 2020. But after blowing past the 35% snap count threshold each of his first three seasons with the Lions, including 84.1% in 2018 and 86.9% last season, he's in line for the 186% raise in 2020.
Even at $2.147 million, Golladay will be an exceptional bargain for the Lions after leading the league with 11 touchdown catches last year to go along with his team-high 1,190 receiving yards.
Set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of next season, Golladay is in line for a lucrative multi-year deal, which could pay him between $14-16 million per season. He's expressed interest in having discussions with the Lions about an extension before hitting the market in 2021.
The Lions have had multiple players hit the Proven Performance Escalator in recent years, including guard Graham Glasgow, safety Quandre Diggs, center Travis Swanson, cornerback Nevin Lawson and guard Larry Warford.
Safety Tracy Walker, offensive tackle Tyrell Crosby and defensive tackle Da'Shawn Hand are all candidates to earn the bump next season. Walker played more than 70 percent of snaps in 2019, while Crosby was at 36.8 percent as an injury replacement.
Hand, who missed much of last season due to various injuries, played 46.1 percent of the team's defensive snaps as a rookie.

Why Precision Is Important During the Injection Molding Practice
Objects small and big are created by using injection molding. Many items that are made of plastic-type or maybe hybrids were developed this way, including flip-up tables, container caps, newborn bottles, numerous components of motor-driven automobiles, a variety of packing containers of numerous sizes and shapes, and plenty more. Essentially, a variety of mixes of plastic type beads tend to be melted, forced by way of a channel straight into a mold in the shape of a table, flask cap, cooking area storage package, etc.) where it is actually in a position to cool ahead of being taken out of the mold. Individuals who oversee the job will have to go through specialized education modules in not merely injection molding training, but in addition, scientific molding training.
With scientific molding seminars, experts usually are taught the finer points that generally go past easy injection molding. The realm of plastics is a growing one. The particular market is one of the fasted developing on the planet. Because brand-new polymers are manufactured, increased merchandise is possible. These kind of unique and well-made materials have to be managed having consistency and even accurate to make a top quality product or service. Since many scientific molding classes teach, it is very important give attention to the two true injection sequence in the viewpoint in the mechanics, and also, to take into consideration the entire process from your point of view of that certain type of plastic material. It is likewise necessary for people who are operating in this particular vicinity to understand the importance of accumulating as well as deciphering data files, producing knowledgeable modifications, and keeping away from guesswork.
Almost all sessions will certainly study the different plastic materials at the moment available on the market and which are utilized to develop items. Distinctive materials melt, flow plus cool with different rates, and these variances, in case not analyzed cautiously, are likely to impact the end product. Within a realm of specific goods along with tiny elements to help larger, substantially important wholes, it is crucial that all the staff end up being as well-educated as is possible as a way to generate the good quality associated with last product that people just about everywhere will need and even expect. Whether or not the product becoming developed is actually a cog inside the medical device that could some day help you save lives, or perhaps whether it happen to be something as simple as being a container cap, exactness in generation is essential.

Tine Lundsfryd, Pause (2007-2008), acrylic, chalk, pencil, color pencil and oil on canvas, 64″ x 73″; courtesy Lori Bookstein Fine Art
* * *
The following review appeared in the October 18, 2004 edition of The New York Observer and is posted here on the occasion of Tine Lundsfryd’s current exhibition at Lori Bookstein Fine Art (September 15-October 15, 2011).
A good portion of the paintings in Tine Lundsfryd’s first one-person exhibition at Lori Bookstein Fine Art have been sold. This is, I think, a heartening sign. Not that the extent to which an artist sells work is a gauge of its merit: If we’re to believe the red dots surfeiting the price lists regularly seen on the front desk at Mary Boone Gallery, there’s no shortage of collectors who are soon parted from their money.
What distinguishes Ms. Lundsfryd’s sales is that they seem to indicate an audience hungry for serious abstract painting, an audience willing to put its money where its eye is. Ms. Lundsfryd’s geometric paintings are slow- burning, quietly ambitious and self-effacing. They are the antithesis of the chilly, quick-fix sensationalism dominating the scene. The pleasures—and challenges—that Ms. Lundsfryd proffers aren’t commensurate with a culture infatuated with technology, celebrity and mass media.
Seen in that light, you might be tempted to peg her as an anomaly or a throwback. The truth is, she has bigger fish to fry. Viewing art as a continuum that spans the centuries, she partakes of influences as diverse as Zurbarán, John Cage, the quilters of Gee’s Bend and, I would argue, the painters decorating the caves at Altamira. For what thrives in Ms. Lundsfryd’s art is the notion—and, in fact, the reality—that marks on a flat surface can take on a magical independence.
Working off a grid delineated in pencil, she creates an all-over faceting, a network of color and space. Rectangles, diamonds and triangles coalesce into crystalline fields that recall game boards, the cosmos and, skittering through the slow accumulations of pattern, the landscape. Subtle shifts in rhythm, value, scale and touch make for compositions that pulse, flow, evolve and shimmer. There’s something meditative about the gentle and tenacious way that Ms. Lundsfryd applies oil to canvas—something skeptical, too.
That the pictures embody contradictory impulses without straining attests to Ms. Lundsfryd’s ability to endow limited form with manifold meaning. “It’s hard to believe that somebody has the nerve to use this language again” is how a flabbergasted writer for Vogue recently described Ms. Lundsfryd’s approach to “true abstraction.” Nerve has nothing to do with it—conviction does. That it is conjoined with a tough and tensile painterly gift makes Ms. Lundsfryd’s debut a salutary alternative to the distractions that pass for art in our time.

Tiffany Lamps are beautiful in a “visit to grandma’s” way, but Michael McLane is energizing the art with a fun dose of space opera. His handmade stained-glass lamps make characters like Boba Fett and Master Chief look like they’d fit perfectly in a World War I-era parlor.
McClane is a self-professed geek who got into stained glass by watching his father dabble in the art form, creating statues of sedate subjects like butterflies and people golfing. “I was familiar with Tiffany stained glass lamps and saw the building process as a technique which could easily be used to create unique 3-D art pieces beyond the simple domes or cones,” he explains.

Slowly but surely, construction on California’s high-speed rail system is chugging along.
The New York Times reports construction sites are up in 21 locations across Central California with 2,000 workers on the job and two weeks ago, work began on a freeway overpass for the train in Fresno. Construction is expected to begin on three more viaducts in the next couple of months.
But while progress is progress if you’re an advocate of the project, many of the same concerns that have dogged the bullet train since it was proposed still exist in the minds of critics— ballooning cost to the taxpayer, logistical issues surrounding where and how the train is built to run through existing landscape and cities, and fears of bad return on investment.
Adding to those concerns is the fact that it’s unclear whether California’s new governor, whomever that may be, will continue being a vocal supporter of the project, which has been a high priority for Governor Jerry Brown during his administration. Democratic gubernatorial candidate and current California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom has given mixed signals about his stance on the project Republican candidate John Cox has said he would halt the project if elected.
Is it time for the state of California to consider walking away from the bullet train project? Or has the state already gone too far to turn back?

I designed this turquoise collar scarf for women, who love simple and comfortable accessories but want to have something original in the same time. I made it by hand of superfine merino wool in turquoise, green, brown, yellow, blue and red color. After making a wool background I decorated it with folk floral pattern using special felting needle. It gives the scarf a fresh look and make it really unique (there is only one piece of this scarf, which is waiting for one special lady).
This wool neck warmer is short and should be worn close to the neck. I attach a special felted brooch to help you arrange it just as you like. As merino wool is warm and breathable in the same time, it is perfect for autumn and winter. It will keep you warm and embellish your outfit in every situation. This short women scarf is also very soft and nice in touch. If you like folk accessories with ethnic spirit this felt neck warmer may be a perfect choice to spice up your wardrobe.
Turquoise collar scarf dimensions & weight
Length: 51 cm (20.1 in)
Width: 18 cm (7.1 in)
Weight: 53 g (0.12 lb)
How to care about felted handicraftMerino does not need to be washed as often as other types of wool. However, you may want to refresh it from time to time. Felted accessories and jewelry keep their colors and shape if hand washed gently in warm water. Here is a detailed instruction on how to care about them (we enclose it in every shipment as well):
- Wash your felt handicraft manually at about 30 Celsjus degrees using washing agents for wool.
- Dip them gently, but do not rub - otherwise they may shrink or deform.
- After washing, rinse your felt item with water of the same temperature, preferably with a rinsing liquid for wool.
- Do not wring or twist felt - remove the excess water with your hands using a towel.
- Spread out washed accessories on a towel to let them dry.
- If necessary iron your felt item using 'wool' mode or applying a low temperature.

Accessories and jewelry available in our store are designed to follow your dreams. We make them in different styles, colors and sizes, allowing you to choose your own way in fashion.
Take a look behind the scenes
Take a deep breath before you take it in your hand. With its hooked barbs felting needle is a smart and dangerous tool for tangling fibers in the most laborious possible way.
They are fully natural short silk fibers obtained from the cocoons of silkworms feeding on mulberry leaves. They look like soft fiber lightnings reflecting sunbeams.
Needle felting is the most laborious and the most precise way of making felt. It is perfect whenever you work on a detail and want to control wool down to the smallest fiber.
Wet felting is just rubbing wool tops with your own hands. You better go to the gym and exercise your muscles before you start! Nothing can replace the strong arms.

On Firm Ground
About the BookTo open On Firm Ground is to enter a deeply loved and meticulously observed country, a land generous with its gifts and unforgiving in its climate, a land that yields its beauty only to the patient observer. In the deep grain of plowed fields, the hypnotic grace of tall grasses, the texture of weathered barn wood, Larry Kanfer harvests all the subtlety of color and season and amplifies the quiet elegance of the region.
In this exhilarating celebration of the prairie, Kanfer brings the understated and unexpected beauty of the Midwest to the fore. In the clean lines of field and horizon, in the vast expanse of a threatening or brilliantly clear sky, in the pinpoint of light from a farmhouse window that fends off the darkness pressing in on all sides, Kanfer's images capture the living, breathing exchange of human and natural energies that animates the heartland.
Ranging through the seasons and throughout the Midwest, On Firm Ground is a celebration of the subtlety that distinguishes the prairie from any other place.
About the AuthorLarry Kanfer is an award-winning photographic artist who operates galleries in Champaign, Illinois, and online at www.kanfer.com. His previous books include Prairiescapes, On Second Glance: Midwest Photographs, On This Island: Photographs of Long Island, and Postcards from the Prairie: Photographic Memories from the University of Illinois. His original artwork is featured in public and private collections nationally.

"Deeply and lusciously beautiful. . . . The colors are so rich, the compositions so striking, the effect so lovely. . . . Reproduced with startling quality and depth of color."--Virginia Quarterly Review
"The images were photographed for their beauty: the patterns formed by nature or by row crop plantings, the way early morning light or twilight glow plays off trees, buildings, or landforms. . . . A joy to contemplate."--The Annals of Iowa

The APX-119 is a combined Mk XII / Mode S / Mode 5 capability transponder, designed to provide military aircraft with a secure combat identification capability to help reduce fratricide and enhance battlespace awareness, while providing safe access to civilian airspace.
Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems business advanced communications and countermeasures director, Glen Bassett, said the IFF systems will enable South Korean Army to meet evolving military and civil requirements for air, land and sea applications.
"We have also delivered APX-114 interrogators for maritime applications and our reduced size and weight mini IFF transponder to Korean Air Lines’ unmanned aerial systems," Bassett said.
The military IFF transponders specifically enable friendly forces identification through a secure message transmitted by a ground or airborne interrogator that is designed to check range, heading and identification, according to the company.
Designed and jointly developed by Korea Aerospace Industries (Kai), Agency For Defense Development (ADD), Korea Aerospace Research Institute (Kari) and Eurocopter, the Surion is designed for a variety of applications, including troop assault, search and rescue, tactical lift, liaison and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) missions.
Capable of accommodating a pilot, co-pilot, two gunners and nine troops, the twin-engined helicopter is scheduled to replace the South Korean Army and Air Force’s ageing UH-1H attack helicopter and the 500MD light helicopter fleet.

It wasn't always cool to be a member of the Ice Crew.
When Jennie Inouye told people in previous seasons she was a member, their responses ranged from indifference to sympathy.
"It used to be they'd say something like, 'Pfft, I'm sorry,' " said Inouye, 29, who has been an Ice Crew member since 2003, when the Blackhawks won only 20 games and finished fifth in the Central Division.
Now that the Stanley Cup-hopeful Blackhawks are the toast of the town, the ladies of the Ice Crew suddenly are the hottest thing on ice since the hat trick.
"Nobody used to know who we were, and now we're getting recognized on the streets all the time, and everyone is so excited about the Blackhawks," said five-year veteran Kelly Royer, 26, of Lincoln Park, who also is in recruiting and development for Northwestern Mutual. "It's just totally amazing now."
It wasn't always so amazing.
Royer and Inouye remember the lean years not too long ago when the United Center was often less than half full for Blackhawks games. The team wasn't doing well, and that made the Crew's job tougher.
Many fans then were outspoken in their dislike for the Ice Crew.
"Fans around the concourse would yell at us during the game to move and get out of their way," Inouye said. "We'd also read the message boards, and they'd say things like there's no place for girls in hockey, especially figure skaters."
But this season the love the sold-out crowds have for the resurgent Blackhawks seems to have spread to the Ice Crew.
Yep, life is good for the Crew. Part public relations group, part ice maintenance squad, the 14-woman team dresses down for work in halter tops and short-shorts, but don't mistake them for the C-word.
"We're not cheerleaders," said Inouye, of the South Loop. "We're a group trying to generate excitement for the team, but when we're on the ice, our job is to shovel snow."
"A lot of people don't realize that it's an actual job and that we could get in trouble for not shoveling it right," said crew rookie Paige Winkels, 23, of the West Loop.
That's because the NHL mandates that teams shovel excess snow from near the benches and goals three times each period.
Ice Crew members even have occasional run-ins with the opposing team's goalie for doing their job a little too well.
"They get angry because they like to use the snow to help slow down shots on goal," said Inouye, who is an executive assistant to a CEO at her day job. "[Dallas Stars goalie] Marty Turco especially hates us. He gets in your way so you can't shovel the snow you need to, and if you try to move around him, he will move and block you.
"He's the reason I don't shovel the nets anymore."
When they are not on the ice, the Crew mingles with fans at the United Center, attends watch parties for road games and even makes it to the occasional bar mitzvah.
Since the playoffs began in April, their workload has climbed -- up to 15 or 20 hours a week in addition to their full-time professional jobs.
"I usually have to go straight from work to Ice Crew stuff every other day or so; it can be kind of crazy," said Winkels, who works as a broker for a commercial real estate firm.
It's worth it, though, especially now.
Royer singled out one moment that particularly moved her: the singing of the national anthem at the Hawks' first home playoff game.
"There were 20,000-plus people waving towels and going crazy, and I got choked up and literally had a tear running down my cheek because it's so overwhelming what has happened here," Royer said. "Our job used to be hard in the sense that we really had to work hard to get fans excited. Now we have the easiest job ever because they are already so excited when they come in."

Bad hat day
When is a hat trick a bad thing for the home team? The night in February that the Blackhawks handed out plastic construction hard hats to the first 10,000 people through the door.
Jonathan Toews scored a hat trick that night, a feat that the home team's fans traditionally celebrate by throwing their hats onto the ice.
"[Crew member] Jenna [Martinelli] totally got bopped on the head with a hard hat," Winkels recalled with a laugh.

The main steps – our premium hemp cultivars are extracted with an ethanol extraction system. It is then winterized to remove fats. Next, multiple rounds of rotary evaporation are used to remove plant material and other unnecessary components. The extract is then decarboxylated and transformed into a crystalline structure with a proprietary post-processing technique.
Hi Lauren I've just started today with 250mg cbd oil. I'm starting low to see what happens. I've nerve damage across buttocks from a laminectomy. I've not been able to sit for 5 years. I've recently started with a muscle spasm in my left buttock and the muscle above is painful. It is only the first day, also tried a cbd night time tea as well. Do change in muscle pain so tight on my left hand side. How long before felt it starting to work please. I'm trying not to expect changes straightaway. I also take 1100mg gabapentin and 30mg amitriptyline and I hate both of them - they both can cause muscle tightness affecting the nerve. Thank you Lyn
My mother has been on pain killers for a failed diagnosis of lymphoedema. After the third day of using this topical on her right arm, the affected area, she has gotten rid of the pain killers and started sleeping better after 2 months of no sleep. She couldn't believe it and neither could I. I just ordered the oils and will most definitely post her successes. Truly satisfied with your product and I hope that the oils are exactly what she needs! ? thank you
That's not to say CBD-infused creams definitely won't reduce your acute pain or muscle soreness. That's because pretty much all of these creams on the market right now have other scientifically-proven analgesic compounds, like menthol, camphor, and capsaicin which are also found in other, non-CBD topical pain relievers. "Any cream with a heating or cooling sensation desensitizes the nerves to pain by distracting them with stimuli on top," Dr. Colberg explains. Plus you're often massaging the area as you apply, which improves circulation and reduces muscle spasms, he adds.
Winterization is just a fancy science term for cooling down a chemical substance in order to remove impurities. So, in the case of CBD isolate, winterization removes excess waxes, but it also removes the terpenes, trichomes, and flavonoids. There’s a big debate raging around whole-plant cannabis vs. isolates because the chemicals that are removed to produce an isolate can have beneficial effects when taken together.

Side effects of CBD include sleepiness, decreased appetite, diarrhea, fatigue, malaise, weakness, sleeping problems, and others. It does not have intoxicating effects like those caused by THC, and may have an opposing effect on disordered thinking and anxiety produced by THC. CBD has been found to interact with a variety of different biological targets, including cannabinoid receptors and other neurotransmitter receptors. The mechanism of action of CBD in terms of its psychoactive and therapeutic effects is not fully clear.
Lisa Hamilton, a jeweler and doula in Brooklyn, NY, knows about the side effects. She recently tried CBD for the shoulder pain that plagued her five years after an accident. Her doctor certified that she was in chronic pain, which under New York State law allowed her to buy from a state dispensary. One Friday, she swallowed two 10-mg capsules, the amount recommended at the dispensary, then took another two on Saturday. “By Sunday, it felt like I’d gotten hit by a truck. Every muscle and joint ached,” Hamilton says. She cut back to one pill a day the following week, but still felt hungover. She stopped after that.
Prescription medicine (Schedule 4) for therapeutic use containing 2 per cent (2.0%) or less of other cannabinoids commonly found in cannabis (such as ∆9-THC). A schedule 4 drug under the SUSMP is Prescription Only Medicine, or Prescription Animal Remedy – Substances, the use or supply of which should be by or on the order of persons permitted by State or Territory legislation to prescribe and should be available from a pharmacist on prescription.
Designed to provide the optimum absorption of CBD into the blood stream by employing a patented slow release delivery system. It’s well accepted that CBD is most effective when taken sublingualy, however most oils when taken in this way are swallowed and broken down by your body. The Gel-Tab™. is placed under the tongue and the CBD is slowly absorbed resulting in higher rates of CBD being absorbed than what would be achieved with a normal oil
Once the oil has been applied, massage it gently but firmly into your skin. The body won’t absorb much of the cannabinoid in small doses, so be sure to apply liberally. Once you’re done, make sure you wash your hands so you do not inadvertently spread potentially irritable substances to sensitive areas. Some oils contain substances that may cause discomfort and irritation to the wrong parts of the body, such as the eyes.
In the United States, the CBD drug Epidiolex has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of two epilepsy disorders. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has assigned Epidiolex a Schedule V classification while non-Epidiolex CBD remains a Schedule I drug prohibited for any use. CBD is not scheduled under any United Nations drug control treaties, and in 2018 the World Health Organization recommended that it remain unscheduled.

According to a recent publication from 2017, research has determined that CBD has a good safety profile, especially when compared to pharmaceuticals. The researchers concluded that “the most commonly reported side effects were tiredness, diarrhea, and changes of appetite/weight. In comparison with other drugs… CBD has a better side effect profile.” (2)
More important than all the options CBD isolate affords end-users, it allows us to control exactly what goes into or onto our bodies and the quality of all the ingredients used. For example, many CBD topicals include added herbal or botanical ingredients that, while pleasant to smell, can irritate sensitive skin or even exacerbate some conditions. Using an isolate, you can create your own topical with only the ingredients that work for you.
The human body also produces cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids, in a bodily system known as the endocannabinoid system (or ECS). The ECS promotes homeostasis by regulating a wide range of functions, including motor skills, mood, appetite, and sleep. As we age, our ECS produces fewer endocannabinoids; they may also decrease due to physical injury or disease. Replenishing depleted endocannabinoids with phytocannabinoids like CBD can help restore balance to the body.

A 2016 review of animal studies indicated that cannabidiol has potential as an anxiolytic for relief of anxiety-related disorders and fear. Reviews of preliminary research showed cannabidiol has potential for improving addictive disorders and drug dependence, although as of 2016, they indicated limited high-quality evidence for anti-addictive effects in people.
Cost is another consideration. Most CBD oils are sold in concentrations of 300 to 750 mg, although this may range from less than 100 mg to more than 2,000. A good indicator of price-point is the cost per milligram. Low-cost CBD oils usually fall between five and 10 cents per mg; mid-range prices are 11 to 15 cents per mg; and higher-end oils cost 16 cents per mg or higher. Given these varying per-milligram costs, a bottle of CBD oil may be priced anywhere from $10 or less to $150 or more.
In short, Cannabidiol – or CBD – is a cannabis compound that has many therapeutic benefits. Usually extracted from the leaves and flowers of hemp plants – though marijuana can also be a source – CBD oil is then incorporated into an array of marketable products. These products vary from the most common, like sublingual oils and topical lotions, to the less common (think CBD lattes). Basically, if you can dream it, you can buy it.

Hultstrand was born on a farm in Fairdale, North Dakota. He was the third of six children born to Swedish immigrants. He attended school in Osnabrock, North Dakota. In 1905, Hultstrand witnessed his neighbor developing negatives in the basement of his home and was fascinated. In 1909, he paid to be an apprentice with John McCarthy, a photographer in Milton, North Dakota. He went to Wallace, Idaho, to photograph lead and zinc mines. The next year, he went to study his art at the Illinois College of Photography in Effingham. After studying there for two years, he continued his studies at the Art Institute of Chicago. He made his way back to North Dakota, where he would spend the rest of his life.
On November 14, 1917, Hultstrand married Eva Baker, an immigrant from Canada with whom he would have two children. He purchased the photography studio in which he would work for the rest of his days in Park River, North Dakota. There, he offered portrait photographs, as well as film development and framing services. He would also work on the photographs that documented rural farm life in North Dakota in that era. In 1937 Hultstrand served as president of the North Dakota Photographers' Association.
In 1962, the United States Department of the Treasury used one of the photographs that Hultstrand had collected as a basis for a stamp that commemorated the 100th anniversary of the Homestead Act. It featured the John and Margret Bakken family standing outside of their sod house near the town of Milton. The government of Norway issued a stamp (Utvandringen til Amerika : Norge) celebrating the 150th anniversary of Norwegian emigration to the United States, using the same photograph. Hultstrand died at age seventy-nine in 1968.

Duterte destroyed oligarchy in PH? Oligarchs thriving in his admin – lawmaker
MANILA, Philippines — A party-list lawmaker on Friday dismissed President Rodrigo Duterte’s recent statement about ending oligarchy in the country, asserting instead that oligarchs are flourishing in the current administration.
“Kaugnay sa ABS-CBN, hindi totoo na tagumpay na binuwag ni Duterte ang oligarkiya dahil sa katunayan, namamayagpag sila sa ilalim ng kanyang administration,” Gabriela Rep. Arlene Brosas said in an online press conference of Makabayan bloc.
(On the issue of ABS-CBN’s franchise, it isn’t true that Duterte stopped the operations of oligarchs because, in truth, they are thriving under his administration.)
“Record-high ang bilang ng Filipino oligarchs, ayon sa listahan ng Forbes’ top billionaires,” she added.
(Filipino oligarchs in the country are at a record-high according to the list of Forbes’ top billionaires.)
Brosas said that n 2019, there are 17 oligarchs recorded in the Philippines.
ACT Teachers Rep. France Castro, on the other hand, raised fears that Duterte might just create new oligarchs after the closure of media giant ABS-CBN.
“’Yung pagkakasara dito sa ABS-CBN, ipagmamalaki niya (Duterte) ito na pinabagsak niya ang oligarch. Baka naman papalitan niya lang ng mga oligarko na kagaya niya. Kaya mariin naming binabagsak itong gobyernong ito sa anti-mamamayan na programa nito,” Castro said during the same press conference.
(On the closure of ABS-CBN, he was too proud claiming he caused the downfall of an oligarch. But maybe he might just replace them with oligarchs like him. This is why we are condemning this government and its anti-people programs.)
In a speech before government troops in Jolo, Sulu province, on Monday afternoon, Duterte said he is “very happy” that he has “dismantled the oligarchy” in the country even “without declaring martial law.”

Helen Glaser — The Lighthouse Keeper
Originally published in the Fall 1999 issue of The Pharos
Faith T. Fitzgerald, MD
The author (ΑΩΑ, University of California, San Francisco, 1969) is a member of the editorial board of The Pharos and a previous contributor to the journal. Helen Glaser, longtime managing editor of The Pharos, died in 1999.
In an age of rapidly evolving technology and forced efficiency, Helen Glaser’s Pharos continues to emphasize the artistic, the literary, and the place of music, language, and culture in medicine. This is obviously inspiring to potential authors and a source of great gratification for the readership. Although themes may shift — now touching upon the economics or the ethics of the times — humanism was Dr. Glaser’s enduring legacy to the content of our ΑΩΑ journal.
In my practice now, patients often are diagnosed and therapy begun in the emergency room after the briefest of histories, the scantiest of physicals and a scattergram of diagnostic studies which present the admitting physician with a diagnosis made, a therapy begun. And while the diagnoses may be incorrect, and the therapy modified, even this often is mandated by further laboratory diagnostic studies, roentgenograms, scans, and serologies, rather than by history and physical examination. Because of this, talking to patients has become more rare, more hurried, even in sorting out the patient’s principal problem. In addition, the rapid turnover and shorter length of stay of today’s hospitalized patient makes difficult any pursuit of the side of medicine that illuminates the human being (who has a disorder) rather than the diagnosis and expeditious management of the disorder itself.
Why, then, in spite of current conditions, has Pharos policy continued its devotion to all of these “nonessential” areas of patient care? It is hard to prove them cost-effective. Alternately, some would say that doctors, broadly educated, deeply committed and often very curious, should need no further inspiration.
But that is simply not true. The demand, particularly of young doctors, is for increasing mastery of a variety of practical points in medicine. The intercalation of the arts and humanities into patient care, as well as the background necessary to do this, may come only — if at all — with age and experience. But why bother?
Here’s why we must bother:
The old Englishman was in his seventies, admitted for weakness and failure to thrive in his nursing home. The medical student, presenting the case at bedside rounds, was — in her own way — complete. She shot out a rapid fire history and physical in well-organized bursts, finishing with recent laboratory tests that suggested liver disease, anemia, increased bilirubin, transaminase elevations, and — the mystery — an elevated creatine kinase. I examined him: The fact that the patient was on Coumadin and had ecchymoses in the swollen right quadriceps explained all of his laboratory findings. I returned to his social history.
“You said he was in the RAF?” I asked the student.
“Yes,” she answered. I turned to the patient.
“Were you in the Battle of Britain?” I asked.
“Indeed I was,” he said.
And so we talked, and re-lived the days when “so much was owed by so many to so few.” It was riveting, living, glorious history. Outside the room, the student had one more question: “What’s ‘RAF’ stand for?”
* * *
Mrs. K, with pleurisy, was ninety-nine years old, articulate and with keen memory and orientation in spite of glaucomatous blindness and decreased hearing. In her youth, she told us, she’d been in the theatre (you could tell, by the way she spoke, that she would have spelled it theatre not theater). She was “legit.”
“With whom did you play?” I asked.
“Pat O’Brien. Oh, he was a lovely man.” The group around her bed looked blank. “And Spencer Tracy!” The faces of the housestaff registered recognition. “and Georgie Cohan.” The resident and student faces emptied again.
“’Yankee Doodle Dandy’,” I said to them. A few of the residents perked up.
“Did you know that Georgie Cohan said to Spencer Tracy that he was the greatest actor he had ever seen? And do you know why?” she asked.
“Because of the way he closed a door.”
In the conference room, after I had explained who Pat O’Brien was, and a bit more on George Cohan, I turned to the student. “Spend time with this woman. She has lived through almost the entire century, and her memories are clear. Have her tell you what it was like when, as a youngster, she heard about the onset of World War I, and how it was when she got the influenza during the great epidemic of 1918. Remember, she saw Douglas Fairbanks, Rudolph Valentino, and Charlie Chaplin films in their original release. She heard Woodrow Wilson speak, and survived the depression. She was already in early middle age when Pearl Harbor was bombed, and some might have called her old when Kennedy was assassinated. She began her life in an age of horse and buggy and will die in the age of space. Listen to her stories. You may not have this opportunity again.”
The student looked unhappy.
“I don’t know enough American history to ask her any good questions,” she said.
* * *
The nurses were trying to reach the intern on call for surgery, but he had not answered yet, and they were distraught. I had been on the ward writing notes, so they asked me to see the patient, about whom they were deeply concerned.
She was a seventy-five-year-old woman who had, that very day, undergone elective ventral hernia repair. She had been transferred, still groggy, from post anesthesia recovery room to the wards. Within hours, according to her nurse, she began “babbling incoherently” when alone, though she appeared to be fully oriented when addressed directly. Her nurse was concerned that she might be “sundowning,” and wanted an order for Haldol.
I went to see her, and as I approached her room I could hear her rhythmic speech, unintelligible, but punctuated by modulations of intensity ranging from prayerful quietude to vigorous exhortations.
“There,” said the nurse. “See what I mean?”
I looked in the door of her room; she was alone, on her back in bed making her declamation to the ceiling. As I watched, I began to recognize some words: Hrothgar, Herot, Beo, Grendel. I laughed, and walked into her room.
“Hello,” she said brightly.
“Hello back,” I said. “You’re doing Beowulf?”
“Yes. I thought it would be a way I would know whether or not I had all my brain left after anesthesia.”
She had been an English professor at a small university. Her specialty was Old English literature, and she was well familiar with the epic tale of Beowulf and his companions in their battle with the monstrous Grendel and Grendel’s Dam. Before her operation, she had decided to recite it in total in the Old English upon recovery, just to check for cerebral damage.
* * *
The point is not, of course, that knowledge of literature, history, music, art, or other nonmedical scientific subjects makes one a better diagnostician (although this may be true) or a better therapist (although that is almost certainly true), but that the possession by the doctor of the background necessary to explore these areas with patients vastly enriches the relationship, and generates those moments in the doctor’s life that flavor memories ever after. For constantly reminding us of this in The Pharos, the lighthouse keeper (or more accurately the light itself), Helen Glaser, deserved our gratitude.

November 28, 1988
IN RE ESTATE OF MARY E. BROSSEAU, DECEASED (ESTATE OF MARY
APPELLATE COURT OF ILLINOIS, THIRD DISTRICT
E. Brosseau, Deceased, Plaintiff-Appellee, v.
Everett B. Brosseau, Defendant-Appellant.)
531 N.E.2d 158, 176 Ill. App. 3d 450, 126 Ill. Dec. 25 1988.IL.1711
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Kankakee County; the Hon. Roger A. Benson, Judge, presiding.
JUSTICE SCOTT delivered the opinion of the court. HEIPLE and BARRY, JJ., concur.
DECISION OF THE COURT DELIVERED BY THE HONORABLE JUDGE SCOTT
This is an appeal from a decision of the circuit court of Kankakee County which held that Everett Brosseau, petitioner, was barred from renouncing the will of Mary E. Brosseau, decedent, and was also barred from receiving a surviving spouse's award because of a post-nuptial agreement entered into between the petitioner and decedent.
The pertinent facts which gave rise to this litigation and appeal were that the decedent was first married to Harold Hooper and from this marriage three children were born, namely, Ronald Hooper, Beverly Veigelt and Shirley Shulk, all of whom survived her. The decedent, Mary E. Brosseau, and the petitioner, Everett Brosseau, were married on February 27, 1960. On November 10, 1985, the decedent died testate and left surviving her spouse, the petitioner, and the three aforementioned children. At the time of her death decedent owned 354 acres of farmland, 40 shares of stock in the Kankakee Service Company, and cash in the approximate sum of $20,000.
The terms of the decedent's will bequeathed and devised all of her property in various proportions to her three children, with the exception of an automobile and household furnishings which she bequeathed to the petitioner. The petitioner, by virtue of joint tenancy arrangements, became the sole owner of several bank accounts having a total value of $60,000 to $70,000.
The decedent's will was admitted to probate and thereafter the petitioner filed a petition for surviving spouse's award and a "renunciation of decedent's will" and claimed his statutory share of the estate.
The executrix of decedent's estate raised as defense to the petitions that petitioner was not entitled to any statutory share in the estate because he was bound by a post-nuptial agreement entered into by both the decedent and petitioner on January 24, 1977. The post-nuptial agreement provided they (petitioner and decedent) would make no claim upon the other's property at the death of either of them. The agreement also specifically provided as follows:
"[After] the death of either it shall be free from the claim by the other on account of dower, courtesy or other statutory right in the same manner as if the said marriage had never been celebrated."
A hearing was had on the validity of the post-nuptial agreement and the trial court found the agreement to be valid and that it barred the petitioner from receiving a surviving spouse's award or a statutory share of the estate of the decedent.
Several issues are raised in this appeal, the first being that the trial court erred in upholding the validity of the post-nuptial agreement.
In support of this assertion the petitioner argues that the post-nuptial agreement was invalid because it was not supported by adequate consideration. The petitioner argues that the marriage entered into with decedent cannot be consideration for a post-nuptial agreement. We disagree, since it is well settled that a mutual release of property rights by a husband and wife is adequate consideration to support a post-nuptial agreement. Crum v. Sawyer (1890), 132 Ill. 443, 24 N.E. 956; Trecker v. Trecker (1969), 107 Ill. App. 2d 94, 246 N.E.2d 56.
The petitioner further argues that the post-nuptial agreement was abrogated through the subsequent conduct of the parties. In support of this contention the petitioner highlights certain conduct of the parties, namely, that petitioner made improvements on the real estate and that he and the decedent commingled their funds in joint accounts and filed joint income tax returns.
In support of this argument the petitioner cites the case of Nakaerts v. Nakaerts (1982), 106 Ill. App. 3d 166, 435 N.E.2d 791. Petitioner's reliance on this case is misplaced. The case of Nakaerts is concerned with a separation agreement which is invalidated when a husband and wife resume living together. The case of Nakaerts is not and cannot be analogous with the instant case, in which a post-nuptial agreement is under consideration. In the instant case the decedent retained the land in her own name; she never conveyed the land or any portion of it to the petitioner, nor did she sell the land or any portion of it and thereafter transfer the proceeds to the petitioner. The decedent could have abrogated the post-nuptial agreement with respect to the farm but she never took any action which would indicate any intention of abrogation. The petitioner benefitted from jointly held bank accounts to an amount in excess of $60,000, but now argues that he should be entitled to more. The post-nuptial agreement provides otherwise.
The petitioner next argues that the post-nuptial agreement is invalid because it is unconscionable. He attempts to buttress this argument by implying that he received no property from the decedent other than an old car and household furnishings.
We find no merit in this argument of the petitioner. As we have stated, the petitioner received in excess of $60,000 from joint bank accounts. We note that it was the decedent's estate which paid her debts, funeral and administration expenses. The petitioner's argument that the post-nuptial agreement was unconscionable by innuendo raises the question as to whether he was defrauded. There is no evidence that would support an argument of fraud. The petitioner farmed the decedent's land for a number of years and hence knew the extent of decedent's real estate. The attorney who drafted the post-nuptial agreement was a friend of the petitioner and his own personal attorney. The fact that the petitioner had only an eighth-grade education and was 69 years of age has no probative value, since there was no evidence adduced that petitioner was coerced, incompetent, or signed the agreement because of misrepresentation.
The petitioner further argues that the trial court erred by admitting into evidence an attachment to the post-nuptial agreement. The first page states the parties' agreement and bears their signatures. The second page contains the acknowledgment of the attorney who prepared the document. The acknowledgment recites as follows:
"I, W. Edwin Long, a Notary Public in and for the said county, do hereby certify that EVERETT B. BROSSEAU and MARY E. BROSSEAU, personally known to me to be the same persons whose names are subscribed to the foregoing post nuptial agreement, appeared before me this day in person and acknowledged that they have each read and fully understand the effect of the foregoing post nuptial agreement; that EVERETT B. BROSSEAU and MARY E. BROSSEAU know the approximate value of the personal property and real estate owned respectively by each of them, and that EVERETT B. BROSSEAU and MARY E. BROSSEAU have signed, sealed and delivered the foregoing post nuptial agreement as their free and voluntary act for the uses and purposes therein set forth, including the release and waiver of a surviving spouse's award and right of homestead."
It is petitioner's contention that the trial court erred when it permitted the second page to be entered into evidence. The first page sets forth the entire post-nuptial agreement and was executed by decedent and petitioner at the bottom of the page. The petitioner argues that the second page, being the acknowledgement of the agreement, was hearsay and that the court erred in admitting it. This argument of the petitioner smacks of a desperate effort on the part of the petitioner to invalidate a valid document. Had the acknowledgement of the attorney been at the bottom of page one rather than on page two, would petitioner now be arguing that it should be cut off from page one?
In fact, whether or not page two of the agreement was admitted into evidence is irrelevant. The parties' agreement and its execution by the parties is on page one and is a valid document.
Lastly, the petitioner asserts that the court erred by finding that the post-nuptial agreement served to bar the surviving spouse's award.
The gist of the petitioner's argument in support of this issue is that the language utilized in the agreement did not expressly provide that the provisions made for him from decedent's estate were to be in lieu of a surviving spouse's award. The petitioner's argument is a semantic one. The petitioner argues that nothing less than the use of the specific words "surviving spouse's award" would effectively bar such an award. We have heretofore set forth the language of the agreement pertaining to waiver. While the language does not specifically use the words "surviving spouse's award," it does state, "it shall be free from the claim by the other on account of dower, courtesy, or other statutory right."
This court has been confronted with language similar to that used in the instant case and held that even though the exact language "widow's award" or "surviving spouse's award" was not used, the agreement was still valid. (See Cullen v. Cullen (1965), 66 Ill. App. 2d 217, 213 N.E.2d 8.) We adhere to the view expressed in Cullen and hold that the trial court properly ruled that the post-nuptial agreement in the instant case served to bar a surviving spouse's award.
For the reasons set forth, the judgment of the circuit court of Kankakee County is affirmed.

London Assembly member Keith Prince wants the Mayor to scrap the ‘ridiculous and unnecessary’ bonus and instead offer firefighters free travel at a fraction of the cost.
TfL currently allows staff to hand out free travelcards to friends, lodgers, family members or anyone else living at their address(1) at a cost of £33.3million(2) a year.
Firefighters could instead be given free travel at an estimated £19.8million in total for the next four years(2), providing a worthwhile perk for lifesaving public servants and saving the taxpayer some 113.2million by 2020.
London Assembly member Keith Prince said:
“It seems ludicrous that the taxpayer has to foot a bill of over £33million a year just so TfL staff can hand out free travelcards to their mates.
“It would be hard enough to justify this perk under normal circumstances, but at a time when the Mayor is seeking to save more than £640million from within TfL because of his disastrous fares freeze it really takes the biscuit.
“The Mayor needs to scrap this ridiculous and unnecessary perk immediately. By doing so he could save TfL and the taxpayer millions in vital revenue and still have money left over to provide our firefighters with a valuable thank you for their work.”
1. Presently, staff working for TfL are entitled to nominate someone living in their property, whether a family member, friend or lodger to receive free travel on the buses, tube and DLR. This perk is not part of the employee contract and could be rescinded by transport bosses at any time.
2. Full costings below
3. It has been assumed that two journeys are made per operational firefighter every working day, at the average cost of £3.60 per journey (detailed in the linked report). This equates to 1,376,144 journeys per annum and £4,954,118 per annum in costs. Thus, providing free travel to all operational firefighters in line with the police would cost £19,816,472 up to and including 2020. – http://glaconservatives.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Free-Ride.pdf

Basuki Widodo, Chairul Imron : THE CHARACTERIZATION OF BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW IN THE MAGHNETOHYDRODYNAMIC MICROPOLAR FLUID PAST A SOLID SPHERE
Prof. Dr. Basuki Widodo M.Sc.
Drs. Chairul Imron MI.Komp.
International Journal of Advances in Science Engineering and Technolog
Micropolar fluid; MHD; Boundary Layer; Keller Box Method;
This paper concerned with the issues magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), namely mathematical modeling and the characterization of boundary layer flow in the micropolar fluid past a solid sphere. Governing dimensional equations formed from the physical state and the reduced by using the theory of the boundary layer. Governing dimensional equations formed is the continuity equation, momentum equation and energy equation. Governing dimensional equation that has been obtained is then converted into a non-dimensional equations with variables substituted for non-dimensional. The equation of non-dimensional subsequently transformed into similiar equations and solved numerically using the Keller-Box. We obtain the characteristics of fluid flow will be analyzed such as the velocity distribution, skin friction, and microrotation.
This research has revealed that the velocity distributions increase and the microrotation decrease when the value of magnetic variable, M increases and micropolar parameter, K increase

Dang! Looks like it could hold some fish. Thanks for the heads up.I've lived here, since before HP was built. Also worked there, about dozen years ago. Not sure if was open to the public, in my youth. But fishing is definitely OFF limits, these days. I don't think it's posted. But Oregon does NOT require, any signage (for tresspassing). So stay away; if you wish to fish legally (and avoid tickes with fines).
Not only that; but fishing without permission is just plain dense. Just one phone call, from an anonymous tipster--and you'll get a ticket for tresspassing, from a cop! You also run the risk, of being shot at!There is an 8' chain link fence with barbed wire on top around the place. Sorta hard to use the "my bad, I didn't see the signs" gambit in that situation.
Haha shoot, shoulda drove by. I was looking on google maps. Yeah it's probably safe to say that fishing isn't welcome then.There is an 8' chain link fence with barbed wire on top around the place. Sorta hard to use the "my bad, I didn't see the signs" gambit in that situation.
I've found quite a few good spots around Corvallis. The slough in south town is probably my favorite, I've pulled out a few big ones from there - good shore access as well as a good spot for the yak. I've actually caught a 24" pikeminnow out of there. I've caught smallmouth in numbers right before where the Mary's meets the Willy (a little sketchy..) - nothing over 12" though. I'm going to try that pond by the apartments in south town when the water warms up, too; I've heard it can produce some bass.Lol yeah, prolly not.
I usually go into street view on Google Earth if possible in those situations. Lets you see fences, gates, posted signs at access points o'ff most major roads, etc. Saves gas and wasted time if nothing else.
There really is next to nothing in Corvallis. Albany has several good public ponds (First lake, Second Lake, Waverly Pond and Freeway Lakes) are the best bets in the area for public water. Other than that, you are knocking on doors.
Yup! That's the one I was referring to. I usually head there and bank it after work - there is that trail that leads to a good spot. Every once in a while I will take my kayak there under the bridge and have good luck along the weed line. All this talk is getting me too excited for spring! :lol:If you have a raft, tube, or toon...try the Kiger Island slough. It's also called, the Westfork Booneville Channel. Go south on Hwy. 99. Take the 1st left, past Rivergreen Ave. That puts you onto, Kiger Island Dr. In short odor, you'll come to a bridge. That's the slough, on the right. And it's drainage creek, on the left, that flows into the Willy. Bucketmouths, in the slough. And Smallies on the other side. You can fish the drainage side, from the rip rap along the bank.
P.S. There is also the Long Tom River, further south. It has all kinds of warmwater species.

"An arresting account of the contemporary Haitian-American experience."
"This novel in short stories will appeal to readers of literary and Caribbean fiction."
"Ulysse displaces and redeems her characters with formidable skill, while her precise cuts through all preconceptions….Intense and necessary."
"Humanity is lost and found in these stories…Ulysse has created a fascinating world of class and cultural distinctions; her stories are engaging."
"Assimilating qualities of Danticat and Alvarez, Ulysse paints a variegated literary tableau, more sociological than psychological or historical, that translates into fiction the reality, as well as the fragility and vivacity, of life for young Haitian American women of few means."
—World Literature Today
"A superb novel in the form of interconnected short stories that follow Haitian families as they move between time and place, before and after the devastating earthquake of 2010."
—Teaching Tolerance Magazine, Summer 2015 Staff Pick
"Powerful, piercing and unforgiving…Drifting transcends escapism, materialism and gaudy promises…Ulysse’s prosaic brilliance is unmistakable."
—Kaieteur News (Guyana)
"Captivating and honest….This novel is a win-win for anyone who enjoys character development just as much as plot."
—The Review Lab, Columbia College Chicago
"Drifting is an intoxicating account of various short stories by Haitian novelist and literary genius Katia D. Ulysse…highly recommended."
—Black Star News
"Ulysse paints a vivid picture of customs, culture, and experiences. And like the characters, readers are engulfed in a vast array of emotions."
—OOSA Online Book Club
"A good, worthwhile read."
"Katia D. Ulysse has written an engaging debut novel, Drifting….Drawing on rural Haiti, the class system, Vodou and folklore, Ulysse shows how immigrating to the US, while often seen as the only real option, does not always retain or strengthen families or improve one’s economic station."
—The World is Robert
Katia D. Ulysse’s debut provides the rare opportunity to peer into the private lives of four secretive Haitian families. The interwoven narrative spans four decades—from 1970 through 2010—and drifts among various provinces in Haiti, the United States, churches, vodun temples, schools, strip clubs, and the grave. Ulysse introduces us to a childless Haitian American couple risking it all for a baby to call their own; a Florida-based predatory schoolteacher threatening students with deportation if they expose him; and the unforgettable Monsieur Boursicault, whose chain of funeral parlors makes him the wealthiest man in Haiti. This daring work of fiction is a departure from the standard narrative of political unrest on the island. Ulysse’s characters are everyday people whose hopes for distant success are constantly challenged—but never totally swayed—by the hard realities accompanying the immigrant’s journey.

WELCOME TO TANAH HUMBA, Looking back at some of the amazing time I had on Sumba island during my Sumba ikat exploration in 2019, where I met wonderful and amazing people and getting involved with Sumba textile processes, was truly priceless. I was photographed here with Tamu Rambu Margaretha, the wife of the last Ruler of Prailiu Kingdom, in Kamberra region of Waingapu, and she is happened to be the mother of one my lovely friends.
There are more amazing stories from my journey there that I would like to share with you. Rambu Margaretha and her family are truly kind and gentle people. Very open, liberal and very welcoming.
On this photo, I am wearing a beautiful HInggi ikat scarf woven and design by my good friend, Kornelis Ndapakamang and was given to me as a gift. Rambu Margaretha is wearing an exquisite Pahikung Sarong, possibly woven here by her weavers in the village.
Here at Indonesia Textile Tour, you can ask anything related to Indonesia, its culture and tradition, particularly about traditional textile culture. You don’t have to attend one of my tours to get information. Most of my trip to Indonesia is on a charity mission, contributing as an unpaid volunteer. helping to connect people who are interested in Indonesia, its culture and tradition, feel free to ask me any question, and I would be more than happy to share my knowledge and experience with you. There is a Whatsapp button on this Facebook page, you can use to contact me, should you wish to have a voice conversation. Pls, text me first. Thank you.
Please follow my Facebook Page to get updates on my textile exploration to Indonesia. https://www.facebook.com/indonesiatextiletours

Covering the basics
Today we'll learn about the medium and the techniques used in landscape painting in water-mixable oils with tutor demonstrations and one to one tuition.
Sea, sky and distance
Today we visit the wonderful sandy cove of Porthcurnow where we will put into practice some of the techniques that we have looked at and explore the sea, sky and conveying distance through the use of colour. Whenever we go out on location, as we do today, we'll walk up to 1 mile (1.5km) each day, carrying our equipment.
Beach and bay
We'll visit the seaside town of Marazion where the beach stretches to Penzance and the tidal Island of St. Michaels Mount sits majestically in Mounts Bay
Let's visit the ancient fishing port of Newlyn with a fascinating variety of boats and marine paraphernalia, harbourside buildings and cottages. Newlyn is famous for the Penlee lifeboat and its fishing fleet. There is much to inspire the artist to return to Newlyn time and time again so it is no surprise that Newlyn is famous for the Newlyn School of artists.

Travel to St Ives
Our address is: Chy Morvah, Bishops Road, The Belyars, St Ives, Cornwall TR26 2DB
The nearest railway station is St Ives, however you may find the journey to St Erth on the main line more convenient. For train times and general rail enquiries visit www.nationalrail.co.uk or call 03457 484950 (from outside the UK call +44 20 7278 5240).
St Ives station is only ½ mile from Chy Morvah, but it is rather a steep uphill walk. Taxis cost approx £4 for this short transfer. Details of our current recommended taxi company and rates will be sent to you with your booking. The return taxi journey can be arranged on your behalf by the Chy Morvah Manager.
Head to Cornwall via the A30. At a large roundabout take the A3074 signposted to St Ives (2nd Exit). You will now come to 2 small roundabouts, go straight across the first and take a right at the second heading towards the village of Lelant. Pass through Lelant and Carbis Bay on the same road.
Pass Tescos and the Treganna Castle hotel on your left hand side, then as you approach St Ives take the left fork which heads slightly up hill, following signs to visitor parking and the leisure centre. Follow the road and turn left up the steep hill. Almost immediately the road turns left again but instead of following the road around to the left you need to turn off the road and head directly up the hill on Porthminster Terrace.
Chy Morvah is right in front of you at the top of the hill. To reach the car park drive left past the front of Chy Morvah and turn immediately right behind the back of the building. The car park is on the right 15 yards along the lane called Bishops road.
Travelling from overseas
For most guests, travelling to London Heathrow airport is the most convenient option.
From Heathrow first take the train to London Paddington station. From here there are direct trains to St Erth, and finally a short branch line train to St Ives. This is a relatively straightforward, if lengthy journey - allow 6½ hours, so a morning arrival into Heathrow would be preferable.
