John A. Carranza Nothing is as important in American culture as the place of the hospital. Hospitals are spaces that we inhabit when we are at our most vulnerable and want to be healed. They are spaces where scientific knowledge manifests and intricate power relations occur. Perhaps this is why hospitals have been the locus of drama on popular television shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, House, M.D., E.R., and the long-running soap opera, General Hospital. Furthermore, in the age of the Affordable Care Act, the implicit argument of access to healthcare for the poor has become clearer and crucial to its survival.
Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America’s Most Storied Hospital by historian David Oshinsky documents the history of Bellevue in New York City, one of the oldest hospitals in the United States. Oshinsky’s narrative takes the reader on a journey from the hospital’s genesis to 2014 when the hospital staff successfully treated Dr. Craig Spencer who had contracted Ebola while working with Doctors Without Borders. While the title would lead one to believe that the book is a history of the place, it is much more than that. The book is simultaneously a survey of the United States from about 1736 and a survey of the development of medical knowledge and the professionalization of medicine.
Bellevue is gripping in its narrative. The reader is never burdened with deciphering jargon and receives the proper amount of explanation to understand what, for example, miasma and germ theory were. Most important for the medical and health humanities is Oshinsky’s portrayal of doctors, nurses, and scientists as real people who had their own flaws. Each of the individuals mentioned throughout the book acted under the social, cultural, and political pressures of the time in which they lived and made choices based on the knowledge available to them. One example, was the dispute within the medical community when Joseph Lister attempted to nudge physicians into cleaning their hands and tools using carbolic acid before interacting with patients with open wounds. American physicians resisted the idea until the late nineteenth century, but they did so out of a mistrust of any sort of medical knowledge that came from overseas. While this was detrimental to their patients, it nonetheless helped to shape current understandings of the importance of sharing medical knowledge.
Probably one of the most important contributions to the understanding of medicine and hospitals in the United States is the long history that Bellevue had with treating a diverse array of patients over the length of its existence. Bellevue has long had a history of treating the indigent and immigrants, those who are less than desirable in society. However, it was also involved in the treatment of such VIPs as President James A. Garfield after he was shot at close range by Charles Guiteau. This underlying theme in the history of Bellevue remains relevant as healthcare is frequently only available to those who can afford it. While Americans often point to history to understand their sense of identity, the story of Bellevue is a useful example for understanding a possibility for how medicine might operate in this country.
David Oshinsky’s Bellevue relies on a wealth of primary and secondary sources to bring to life the history of the hospital. This history provides an example of an imperfect health system, but it was one that adapted to each of the historical moments through which it survived. The stories of the (mostly) men and women who practiced medicine are just as compelling as those on shows like Grey’s Anatomy (but maybe a little more grounded in less-than-fantastical reality). Although we learn that medical knowledge is constantly in flux, one major theme that runs through the book is that healthcare should not be denied to any person in this country regardless of their ability to pay. This message is important and should be taken by all who read this book.

Special Issue "Recent Advances and Future Trends in Fermented and Functional Foods"
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 30 August 2021.
Interests: nanobiotechnology; medicinal plants; food science
Interests: functional foods
Interests: food microbiology; food safety; food quality
Special Issues and Collections in MDPI journals
Health and wellness are among the core segments of quickly-changing consumer goods, with ever-increasing health consciousness among consumers around the globe. Functional foods and beverages, formulated from natural ingredients with targeted physiological functions, are at the heart of research and development in the food industry. The application of modern biotechnology methods in the food and agricultural industry is expected to alleviate hunger today and help avoid mass starvation in the future. Modern food biotechnology has in recent years been transforming existing methods of food production and preparation far beyond the traditional scope. Currently, at the global level, food biotechnological research has focused on traditional process optimization (starter culture development, enzymology, fermentation), food safety and quality, nutritional quality improvement, functional foods, and food preservation (improving shelf life). The fermentation of substrates considered for human consumption has been applied for centuries as a process that enhances shelf life, sensory properties, and nutritional value. Special emphasis has also been given to newly growing concepts, such as functional foods and probiotics. The application of biotechnology in the food sciences has led to an increase in food production and has enhanced the quality and safety of food.
This Special Issue will provide a platform for generating data on more recent information and research available in this sphere throughout the world in the form of valuable research articles, reviews, and mini reviews on various aspects related to future prospects in fermented and medicinal foods.

Amazing Spider-Man 2 confirms return of Uncle Ben
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 recently confirmed some interesting names, with Jamie Foxx set to give us a first look at Electro, Shailene Woodley as Mary-Jane Watson 2.0 and Dane DeHaan as Peter Parker’s longtime rival Harry ‘not James Franco‘ Osborn. Martin Sheen is now also set to appear, as none other than Spidey’s beloved uncle Ben.
Given that the gentle old chap went down in a shower of lead in The Amazing Spider-Man, we’re going to presume that his role in the forthcoming sequel will be limited to a flashback. Speaking about his return, Sheen said: “They’ve called me back. I don’t know what the part is gonna be, but I’m going to be Uncle Ben once again in Spider-Man next year. We shoot it in February.”
The Amazing Spider-Man played down the bright-coloured nature of Sam Raimi‘s trilogy, with Andrew Garfield‘s skateboarding Peter Parker more of a troubled emo than an old-fashioned nerd. The return of Martin Sheen could signal some tortured memories for the webslinger, having played an unwitting part in his uncle’s demise. Whatever’s in store for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we hope it’s an improvement on the déjà vu that characterised this summer’s reboot. With the addition of a new Mary-Jane and Harry Osborn, we’re not holding our breath, but there’s time yet for director Marc Webb to re-assert the franchise as something new, we hope.

Erie County Legislator Lynne Dixon attempted Thursday to force a County Legislature vote on a 5-cent fee for paper bags, which counties have the option to impose after the state's ban on single-use plastic bags goes into effect in March.
Dixon, I-Hamburg, opposes the fee.
Her long shot attempt to force a Legislature vote represents her latest effort to raise her profile as the Republican-endorsed challenger to Democratic County Executive Mark Poloncarz.
Poloncarz has said he supports the fee as an incentive to get more people to use reusable bags. For every 5 cents collected, 3 cents would go into the state's Environmental Protection Fund. The other 2 cents would be used by the county to purchase reusable bags for residents.
A resolution opposing the 5-cent paper bag fee, which has Minority Caucus support, has lingered in committee. Dixon attempted to move the issue to the floor, but her request was defeated by the Democratic majority in a 6-4 vote.
"We will be able to discuss it in an upcoming committee," said Chairwoman April Baskin.

The President of the United States gets many perks. Living in the White House. Smart folks to help. Air Force One. Camp David.
And he also has each morning should he wish it, the opportunity to review the President’s Daily Brief (PDB). Frankly, I think this is more a penalty than a perk. It is the report from the intelligence community about what the greatest threats against peace and stability are that particular day.
Although I’ve never seen one of these reports, it isn’t difficult to figure out the things that might be covered. There’s a 50 percent chance that goofy little guy in North Korean will launch a rocket. There’s a 10 percent chance the Indians and Pakistanis will lob grenades at each other at a mountain checkpoint. A plane will be shot down in Syria, a riot will break out in Baltimore, the Iranians are three steps closer to a nuclear bomb and a revolution could go live in Venezuela.
I have to think this report is pretty depressing reading, although there is the upliftinglikelihood that most of the awful things predicted the previous day didn’t happen.
Of course, the American president isn’t the only world leader who likely has sobering reading material over breakfast. Think about Pope Francis. Does he get a Papal Daily Brief (PDB)?
He isn’t worried about where to deploy his secret agents, armies, navies and bombs. He has a different sort of weapon: prayer. We’ve needed a lot of that weapon of late, as the year of natural disasters continues.
Imagine you are the Pope and you want to pray for people who are suffering. Where do you start – let alone finish? In 2017, we’ve had hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. Mexico has experienced two horrible earthquakes. Around the world there have been floods, wildfires, mud slides and immigration tragedies. Add in war, terrorism and plagues and you figure the Pope has a pretty thick prayer book.
Pope Francis often issues a statement of solidarity for those suffering in some disaster. There have been so many that I wonder if he has standardized forms for hurricanes, typhoons, mud slides, earthquakes and general mayhem. Maybe he reads the morning news, then turns to an aide and says: “Monsignor, please get me two hurricane forms, one expression of sorrow over a kidnapping and a novena for the conversion of a mad dictator.
This isn’t to make light of a horrendous situation; the world needs prayer, fraternity, solidarity, mercy, peace and the love of Jesus Christ. You know the Pope is praying for these intentions each and every day.
I admit to sometimes having doubt about the power of my own prayers, a doubt I doubt the Pope has. But I think we all need to chip in with our prayers and help the Holy Father.
There is no limit to the prayers God can process. I’m going to add to the chorus.


It has been a year since President Barack Obama ended the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy against homosexuals serving openly in the military.
While the Pentagon says the repeal has gone smoothly, critics disagree, saying the repeal has infringed on the rights of service members whose faiths condemn homosexuality.
Critics also say the change in policy has been disruptive, but military personnel have been afraid to speak up because of possible repercussions.
Some members of Congress have been vocal against the repeal's repercussions. They have specifically spoken out against civil union ceremonies at military chapels in New Jersey and and Florida, saying they violated the Defense of Marriage Act.

So yesterday, several dozen Bay Area nudists staged their second nude-in in front of City Hall. A parade followed in which participants let it all hang out.
In January, the group filed a lawsuit claiming that their First Amendment rights had been violated by a public nudity ban first proposed by Supervisor Scott Wiener. When a judge dismissed the suit, the group lost its cool — and clothes — and paraded naked through city streets.
On Friday, the nudists filed an amended suit and a day later staged their second “body freedom protest parade.” The city had threatened to fine the naked protesters in accordance with the law, which assesses $100 fine for their first offense, increases for additional infractions, but there is no official word on whether citations were handed out.
It’s probably just as well if they weren’t. The protesters after all had no place to put them.

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
Sprint had extended its Dec. 31, 2011 deadline to March 15 to give Lightsquared more time to secure regulatory approvals for its LTE network plans. However, the FCC said last month that it will not be able to grant clearance for the proposed network as it found potential interference issues with GPS receivers that could harm public safety.
With Sprint's relationship with Clearwire on a much stronger footing now, it made little sense for Sprint to continue to hope for a Lightsquared turnaround. Instead, it can now give its own as well as Clearwire's plans to aggressively deploy LTE networks complete attention as rivals Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) continue to add more markets to their ever-expanding LTE footprint. .

FIFA 16 will go live on September, 2015. Many people have now prepared for free FIFA 16 coins in advance, and they suggest gaining FIFA 16 coins by daily challenges. And some of them have already clung to their three-side player cards.
Three-side player cards in FIFA 16
In the previous FIFA player cards, the devs fix their eyes more on function so that there is nothing but player’s stats. It is helpful to quickly pick up players you need, but it looks fusty. At that moment, three-side player cards should be brought into being.
These 3 sides to the card include one with nice-looking front face, one with player stats, and the other with his contact or fitness. To make people easy to scan, you can just flick the right thumbstick to the side to cycle among stats, fitness and front face, without having into a game or going to an external website.
After meeting the requirement for function, this kind of card is also good-looking. All cards can be classified with different colors, based on different categories players are in. for example, MOTM players’ cards wear purple, MOTMs wears orange, and in-forms are black.
If the three-side and the current player cards are all available in FIFA 15, which one would you like to click with FIFA 15 coins cheap?
Daily challenges in FIFA 16

Willie Nelson has been tapped to help celebrate the 35th anniversary of Billy Bob Texas, one of the world's most beloved honky tonks.
On Nov. 12, the country legend will hold a special performane at the Fort Worth venue. According to the Star-Telegram, the event will feature live music, Texas cuisine, line dance lessons and special activities for children.
The event will mark Nelson's 54th (yes, really) career appearance at the famed venue. With so many performances under his belt, it's no surprise that Nelson was the first choice for the show.
"Over the past 35 years, I sort of grew up watching Willie play at Billy Bob's," Concho Minick, president of Billy Bob's Texas, said in a statement. "He is inseparable from the history here. In terms of country music, it has always been Willie for me, so it's the biggest honor to have him back again, especially on this occasion."
More details on this history-making concert will be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets are currently on sale for the concert, but they probably won't last long. Reserved seating ranges from $60 to $100, while general admission entry is available for only $20.

Harold A. Franklin, the first Black student to attend Auburn University, died Thursday morning of natural causes at his home in Talladega, Alabama. Franklin was 88.
In 1964, Franklin enrolled as a graduate student at Auburn University, making him the first Black student to enroll at the University. Administration denied Franklin the chance to defend his master’s thesis that he wrote in 1969.
Franklin went on to earn his master’s degree in history from the University of Denver and worked in higher education as a professor and administrator for nearly 30 years before retiring from education in 1992. Franklin was awarded an honorary doctorate from Auburn in 2001.
In 2015, the University built a historic marker to honor Franklin near the Ralph Brown Draughon Library.
On Feb. 19, 2020, Franklin defended the master’s thesis he wrote in 1969, which was finally accepted by the University, in front of the history department.
The Auburn Alumni Association’s Black Alumni Council recently named a scholarship in honor of Franklin, and the Harold A. Franklin Society was created on campus in his honor in 2008 to serve underrepresented male students at Auburn University.
“Dr. Franklin was a pioneer who paved the way for other African American students to attend Auburn University,” said Auburn University President Jay Gogue in a statement from the University Thursday. “Auburn is a better institution because of Dr. Franklin’s bravery 57 years ago. His spirit of internal fortitude will continue to inspire us.”
Franklin was born on Nov. 2, 1932, in Talladega, Alabama, one of 10 children to George Franklin Sr. and Henrietta Eugenia Williams Franklin.
Franklin served in the U.S. Air Force, leaving high school to join American efforts in the Korean War.
Franklin married Lilla Mae Sherman who preceded him in death. He is survived by his son Harold Franklin Jr., according to Terry’s Metropolitan Mortuary in Talladega, where Franklin’s obituary was published and where he worked before his death.

Hampton makes his choice
Ever since taking over the job, Head Coach Patrick Chambers has made it a point to recruit the Washington DC area. That helped him land one of the better commitments in recent memory for the school on Saturday when power forward Joe Hampton pledged to the Big Ten school. At around 6-foot-6 and 245 pounds, Hampton is someone who has been on the radar for a while. He has a unique skill set for such a big man, and has consistently stood out while playing with DC Premier. He struggled with injuries this spring and summer, but Penn State stayed with him. That hard work led to a commitment, and Hampton is very excited for the future. “It is like a family there, and I am very familiar with the coaching staff,” said Hampton. “I love the way Coach Chambers coaches and the basketball is so close. They are already like my brothers.” Hampton made an impact at Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha Catholic his first two seasons, but now will take his game to Mouth of the Wilson (Va.) Oak Hill Academy to finish out his high school career. Schools such as DePaul, Xavier, Georgetown, Maryland, Miami, and Rutgers all were showing significant interest in Hampton, but it was Penn State that was on him with the most intensity. Hampton becomes the first commitment in the class and gives them a solid interior piece to build around.

Located in an idyllic setting between the Negombo lagoon and great big Indian ocean, Arie Lagoon is a property which entices you with its understated elegance inviting you to enjoy a luxury holiday, in total privacy.
You walk into Arie Lagoon and feel instantly comforted by its open spaces and homely vibe. The atmosphere at this luxury hotel is non-pretentious and easy, with plenty of cozy nooks to help you enjoy a restful holiday.
Located in close clusters, Arie Lagoon has 55 villas, including family units with twin bed options and interconnecting rooms, making it the ideal choice for large family gatherings and corporate outings. The villas are very different to each other in character, offering everything from lagoon views, garden views, magnificent open-air bathrooms and private plunge pools.
The Room WIth A Room
The lagoon view room I stayed in was spacious and inviting, with a four-poster bed, ceilings with a distressed white look and green paneling on the doors that blended well with the surroundings and added so much charm to the space. I love the minimalist furnishings and the addition of a music player, and most of all the French windows that opened up to the lagoon. It was truly a sight to behold.
Holidaying At Arie
Since starting operations, a year ago, Arie Lagoon has become a much sought after space for private events and gatherings, thanks to their versatile and accommodating chef and team, who have mastered the art of conjuring delectable cuisines tailor made to suit the themes and needs of hosts, from Mexican to Continental, from Sri Lankan to Tapas, his versatility shines through.
Arie Lagoon has a designated kid’s play area in the garden and is in the process of creating a kid’s play center, equipped with the latest games and toys needed to keep their young guests entertained for hours, giving the mommies and daddies plenty of time to unwind and reconnect.
The hotel has two pools, one located closer to the fitness center and Arie Spa, and other overlooking the lagoon, adjacent to the all-day dining Banana Pawn restaurant and Crab Claw bar.
Events At Arie
The hotel offers an impressive choice of indoor and outdoor options with both lagoon and garden views, including a banquet hall that can host up to 450 guests.
DIining At Arie
For dinner, I was served a set menu featuring a few specialties from the Banana Pawn restaurant. I loved the lengths the staff at the hotel had gone to make me feel special, setting up a table on a grassy patch facing the lagoon, under twinkling lights, setting the mood for a relaxed dinner under the stars.
Dinner started with a prawn salad, with plenty of prawns to go around, apples for a bit of crunch, olives for a touch of tartness and thinly sliced radishes. Next up was the zesty orange and carrot soup with refreshingly strong citrus flavors.
The highlight of the meal was my pick for the main, a juicy medium steak, cooked to perfection accompanied by caramelized onions, charred vegetables, and mash with peas.
A shortened version of breakfast was served the breezy Kalapuwa Lounge, which included favorites like string hoppers served with gravies and sambols to go, an assortment of breads and buns and usual breakfast selection.

Drake plays Fortnite and pulls Twitch's biggest audience
Canadian hip-hop artist Drake hopped onto a live video game stream with Twitch TV channel host Ninja, and together the pair generated record audience numbers.
Twitch TV's most popular streamer, Tyler Blevins (aka Ninja) teamed up with Aubrey Drake Graham – Canadian hip-hop artist and producer Drake – and in the process set a new record for simultaneous views.
The pair and their pals were playing Fortnite: Battle Royale
, a free last-person-standing game, with Drake on PlayStation 4 and Ninja on PC.
Ex-eSports pro Ninja has six years on the clock as a streamer, specialising in first-person shooters and starting with games in the Halo
franchise before transitioning to H1Z1
, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
, and now Fortnite: Battle Royale
Though the stream did not reach 1 million views after Drake let fans know about it through Twitter
, it did pass a live viewership of 600,000, making it Twitch's most-watched live broadcast to date.
The record was previously held by Guy Beahm, aka DrDisRespect, who reached a live audience of 388,000 after returning from a two-month hiatus in February 2018.
The previous month, League Of Legends
player Tyler1 had amassed an audience of 386,000 when he was let back into that particular game after a two-year ban. — AFP Relaxnews

Over the weekend, Matthew Phelps proposed to his partner Ben Schock in the place where they had their first date.
Phelps, a U.S. Marine Corps captain is the first gay man to propose in the White House.
A photo of Phelps on bended knee went viral over the weekend receiving massive support with over 2,000 Facebook likes and 250 shares.
The couple says they are “blown away by the amazing love and support we have received.”
For their first date, Phelps and Schock attended the LGBT Pride Month Reception together this past June.
“Although we had met a couple years prior at the 2010 Servicemembers Legal Defense Network annual dinner, we didn’t actually start dating until we both made it back to Washington D.C. two years later,” Phelps said.
The couple received an invitation to return to the White House for a tour making it the perfect opportunity for Phelps to pop the question.
“When we received an invitation from the Military Partners and Families Coalition to attend the White House holiday tour on Dec. 15, the coincidence that it would be the six-month anniversary of our first date—and also to the White House—was too big not to capitalize on,” Phelps said.
“Matthew has made me the happiest I’ve ever been and I am so fortunate that I get to spend the rest of my life with him,” Schock said.
Earlier this year a transgender man proposed to his fiancée at the White House.

STATEWIDE REPORT CALLS FOR INCREASED ARTS
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES IN PA SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITIES,
OFFERS POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
Arts and Education Initiative report calls arts education the key to a
“healthy, prosperous and vibrant future in Pennsylvania”
HARRISBURG—(March 14, 2012)—A report released by the Arts and Education Initiative (AEI) of the Harrisburg-based Education Policy and Leadership Center (EPLC) urges state policymakers to make access to high-quality, comprehensive, standards-based arts education a priority for K-12 students in Pennsylvania. The report includes nearly 40 recommendations for state policymakers and other audiences and seeks to improve support for the arts and arts education in Pennsylvania’s 500 school districts and diverse community settings.
To read the full list of recommendations, visit www.aei-pa.org
The Arts in Education (AIE) division places practicing, professional artists in residence in schools and community settings. These artists are listed in the Directory of Pennsylvania Artists in Education, which is a list of artists with expertise in education. The division fosters educational improvement through participation in the creative process in schools and community settings, via residencies, projects, and partnerships between schools or other educational institutions, artists, and arts organizations.
Please join EPLC this Wednesday, March 28 at the Harrisburg Hilton for breakfast and discussion about the Arts and Education Initiative's (AEI's) new policy report: Creating PA's Future through the Arts and Education.
Hear from AEI staff and Study Group members and share about plans for advocacy in 2012. Breakfast begins at 8 am and the program starts at 8:30 am. This EPLC program is free of charge, but online registration is required:
To learn more about the Arts and Education Initiative (AEI) and to read the new policy report, please visit www.aei-pa.org.
Our Children need the arts to be well rounded. Programs like the arts and music education is an incentive for many students, who other wise would not enjoy going to school. I am all for bring the arts and music education back on the curriculum. They should have never cut these programs.

When clients hire a design professional, it’s rare they have an accurate budget that represents their actual wish list. More often, the clients describe a dream home scenario and then, when they do mention a budget, it falls far short of project desires. How then does the professional designer provide a client with an accurate budget? Follow Kimberley’s guidelines to budgeting with precision.
In this course, you will learn:
a quick technique for getting the client to identify a budget (in theory) prior to the consultation
simple, effective method for determining an initial budget at the consultation
how the client’s initial budget differs from the actual budget
who’s ultimately responsibility for the budget
the difference between designing to a budget or designing to a wish list
what happens if your budget (the one based on facts) is greater than the budget the client wants to spend?

Documenting the Wichita Language on Digital Video & Audio
The process of annotation involves marking the video/audio data with appropriate information that would make it more useful and accessible for use by non-experts of the source language. Annotation also makes the material more readily available for those who want to do linguistic research that uses the data. Depending on the nature of the material we are working with (i.e., is it a recently recorded video or an audio file from our older archives) we have followed slightly different annotation procedures.
Annotation of New Material: mini-DV and DAT Tapes
(a) One of the steps in annotation of natural data is to make sure that as much of the speech by each of the participants is written down and at least translated into another language (in our case the source language is Wichita and the translations are in English). For each participant in the conversation or story-telling we have to mark the time region for a given phrase, or a any continous string, of their speach and we have to write the information in a Wichita tier (this tier is thus time-aligned). We also have to make a tier that provides the free English translation. From this point on we, as analysts and researchers, have to make decisions on what other tiers will be useful. For the case of Wichita we have decided to add at least a morphemic gloss tier and a morpheme-by-morpheme translation tier to the basic annotation (see the sample Wichita texts for an example of what this looks like). Time permitting, we also add syntactic information and comment tiers.
(b) After making our decisions about the types of tiers that we wanted, we copied the individual session DMFs onto our computers and began the procedure of annotating the sessions using the ELAN annotation tool from DOBES (the software can be obtained form www.mpi.nl/tools). The audio/video DFM file is opened in ELAN, the appropriate tiers are created, and we begin the process of marking regions and entering in annotations. The creation of this transcript is perhaps the most time-consuming componennt of the work.
(c) Finally our annotation files are sent to DOBES for archiving and access by others who are interested in the language.
Annotation of Older Material (digitized from Cassettes and Reels)
Most (see red note below) of our older recorded Wichita stories and conversations had already been transcribed either in older ascii text transcripts or in the form of hard-copy documents. Furthermore, some of the texts had already been entered into the Shoebox program. For material of this nature we mostly tried to import the already existing transcripts into ELAN. One of the problems with our older transcripts is that they are either hard-copy or simple computer text files; thus, they are detached from the temporal information of the corresponding recording. This makes importing into ELAN a bit problematic since ELAN transcripts are by their very nature time-aligned. The procedure we are currently attempting is the following.
(a) Using the digitized sound file of the older recordings we manually reconstruct the time information. Using Transcriber (or other equivalent software) we mark the regions in the sound file that correspond to lines (phrases, sentences, or intonational units) in the already existing transcripts.
(b) We enter the time code information from (a) into a file, either in Shoebox or in just a simple text file.
(c) We assemble together a Shoebox style file that contains all the various tiers in the transcripts as well as the beginning and end time codes that indicate the region for each line/unit in the transcript.
(d) We use ELAN along with a Shoebox type file (of the form of econv type specified by the ELAN instructions) to import the transcript into ELAN. The imported transcripts have to be checked for tier information and time alignment accuracy.
(e) The DMF files that we have created for each of the narratives and the ELAN file containing the tiers and annotations are all sent to DOBES for archiving and access.
Note: One piece of our older material is transcribed similar to the new digital material (mini-DV/DAT) procedure outlined above. This pieces is a 28-minute conversation that Rood recorded in 1966. It was never transcribed and since we were starting from zero on this transcription we decided to enter it directly into ELAN.

By MacKenzie Stewart
The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on everyone, affecting different people in different ways. Losing loved ones. Mental and physical health issues. Lost jobs. Everyone has been affected in some capacity.
When the COVID-19 outbreak began in Statesboro, Georgia in March 2020, Georgia Southern University students were left clueless on how to finish out their spring semester, some of whom had never engaged in online learning in their collegiate career. The pressure fell on GS professors to somehow convert all of their content and assignments into an online format accessible to students remotely.
This included learning how to conduct lectures via Zoom or Google Meets, uploading recorded lectures to Folio and beginning to navigate how to conduct quizzes and tests that are designed to be given in the classroom setting.
“I’m a big believer in arranging online content for access reasons, regardless of the pandemic,” said Gina Germani, a journalism lecturer at GS. “But it was difficult and time consuming to translate hands-on activities into an online format and on some days, I’d be up until the early hours of the morning transferring content over.”
Professors were put on a tight timeline to transform their courses into an online format while still upholding standards to ensure their students were actually learning the material.
“I love using Zoom because it keeps that face-to-face element of teaching,” said Germani. “But the issue that I had was getting students to be engaged in virtual classes and not curled up in bed or driving down the street. I had to be strict about actual participation.”
University communications and marketing departments continuously send out emails to students, offering nods of encouragement and resources for students to access to alleviate some of the stress and anxiety during the pandemic. What are universities doing to offer and provide support for their educators? Are professors receiving the same gentle encouragement as students are?
“I think the university did a great job providing moral support and words of encouragement for their faculty and staff,” said William Biebuyck, an assistant professor for political science and international studies. “The Center for Teaching Excellence was also a great resource that has been provided to us as a tool for navigating the online teaching format so as an educator, I really appreciate that.”
In order for professors to stay committed to their jobs and to their students, they should also be receiving some form of encouragement or resources to assist their needs as well. Supporters need support systems too.
“Something that I feel could have been done differently is how the university handled the requirement of partial in-person classes,” said Biebuyck. “I feel that the individual professors and departments have a better understanding of how their course should be delivered and it was difficult to get students to show up for in-person sessions during the pandemic.”
Although GS professors have faced their fair share of trials and tribulations during the pandemic, we as students have to wonder how they did it.
“I feel very lucky in many ways,” said Sarah McCarroll, an associate professor of theatre at Georgia Southern. “I was able to keep my job and continue to teach my students the art. Things were definitely different and nontraditional, but I am fortunate to work with students who persevered and made it work.”
Although teaching and learning during the pandemic were strange and nontraditional experiences, students and professors alike persevered with almost three semesters down and classes tentatively returning to in-person delivery for fall 2021.
“I’m very excited to have my students back in the classroom full time in the fall,” said McCarroll. “I’m choking up now just thinking about it but I’m going to cry when I’m able to be back in the space and see my students do a live performance for the first time in a while.”
Students, while spring semester comes to a close and you head out for summer break, remember to thank an educator. They deserve it.

'Absolutely phenomenal' response to new evacuees publication
- Credit: Lowestoft Central Project
A new book providing a fascinating insight into the experiences of 40 wartime evacuees has proved a runaway success.
A Long Way From Home, written by former evacuee Clive Capps and author Sandra Delf, was launched at Lowestoft Railway Station earlier this month.
It features accounts from 40 evacuees, now aged in their 80s and 90s, who left Lowestoft station 80 years ago - and the authors have been thrilled with the response from the public.
Since the book went on sale, the Community Rail shop at Lowestoft Station have been inundated with people eager to obtain a copy, with mail order requests coming locally and from as far away as Australia.
Mr Capps said: “The reaction to the book has been absolutely phenomenal and I have received some delightful messages from those that have already received a copy.
"We thought that it may have been of limited interest but we couldn’t have been more wrong and are now seriously considering a second print run.
"We have made sure that the Lowestoft Station shop, the only outlet in the town, has additional supplies and Jarrold department store in Norwich and their branch in Cromer also have copies."
- 1 Famous Norwich firm locked in legal battle with Red Bull
- 2 'I couldn't believe my eyes' - snorkeller finds 125-year-old shipwreck
- 3 End of an era as cafe owner hangs up apron after 26 years
- 4 Huge village home with indoor swimming pool for sale for £1.2m
- 5 Location revealed for new major music festival with '90s flavour'
- 6 Huge Christmas market returning to Norfolk Showground for 2021
- 7 Britain's poshest train returning to Norwich for Christmas lunch
- 8 Former teacher who abused young boys handed 25-year sentence
- 9 Do you recognise this man?
- 10 People told to shut doors and windows after suspected gas leak
Taking the authors over two years to research, these important memories have now been recorded for posterity. Mr Capps added: “We have been absolutely inundated with requests from across the UK and beyond, even as far as Australia.”
On June 2, 1940 around 3,000 children and their teachers from Lowestoft and the surrounding area were evacuated by train from Lowestoft Station to Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Small towns and villages subsequently became host to many of these children and the book features moving accounts of their experiences.
Eighty years on, many of the friendships made during such difficult times are cherished and, through the work of the Lowestoft Evacuees Association - founded by Lowestoft resident Chris Brooks more than 30 years ago - the memories and the connections made with Derbyshire communities remain strong.
The friendships and links forged between Glossop and Lowestoft all those years ago are being maintained in part thanks to the support of Neil Williams, chairman of the Friends of Glossop Station, the Wherry Lines Community Rail Partnership and the Lowestoft Central Project.
Although the Covid-19 pandemic has meant that annual visits between the two towns weren't possible this year, exciting plans exist for 2021.

XENIA — There were no heads bowed in disappointment. Nobody was calling out a teammate to place blame. Best of all, not a single person on the Xenia High School team gave up, despite a one-sided Dec. 12 loss to visiting Trotwood-Madison.
Xenia lost to the Greater Western Ohio Conference’s defending American South division champs, 79-17.
To be honest, the game was likely over when the two teams jogged into their respective locker rooms at the half, with the Rams out in front 46-6.
But this extremely young bunch of Buccaneers doesn’t know the word ‘quit.’ They played hard for the game’s entire 32 minutes.
An example of the team’s effort can be seen with how the game ended.
Trotwood-Madison could’ve walked off the court in the final minute or two and still would’ve won.
The Rams played a full-court, in-your-face style of defense for all but a few seconds of the game. Unofficially, Trotwood created 42 Xenia turnovers. Numbers like that would frustrate anybody.
The Xenia girls could’ve gone through the motions, cried “Uncle!” and admitted defeat, and nobody — except perhaps their coaches — would’ve blamed them.
Instead, there was Alashia Adams dishing out a pass to her left with 40 seconds left to play to Reaghan Wakefield for a score. Then as the final second was ticking off the Xenia High gymnasium’s scoreboard, Kamea Baker came flying in from the left side for a lay-in with 0.8 seconds left for the game’s final points of the night.
Wakefield led Xenia with six points; Baker finished with five. Brynna Mardis finished with three Buccaneers points, Kelli Hatfield scored two, and Olivia Wakefield chipped in with a free throw.
Every kid on the team played their hearts out.
No quitting. No moping allowed.
“I’m very proud to be their coach, and our school is very proud to have them represent us as their basketball team. They are great girls and they play hard no matter what the scoreboard says,” said Xenia coach Jamie Hand. “As long as they do that, I’m okay with it. We only have one senior. We have four freshmen, one sophomore and two juniors.
“They’re all pretty solid athletes. If we keep on playing hard, we’re gonna be alright.”
Hand didn’t mind that Trotwood played their stifling full-court offense for almost the entire game, despite the lopsided score.
“Nah, that’s their style of play. It’s what they do,” he said. “This gave us the opportunity to play against a lot of pressure. Once we have played this game, anyone else that we play now, we’ll know what that feels like. With these girls being so young and inexperienced, sometimes it takes a while to understand the speed of the game, and how big and quick some of these girls are. Now that we’ve seen it and felt it, we can better prepare for it later.
“We know we earned every point we got against a really good team.”
Xenia is now 0-4 overall, 0-2 GWOC South, and heads south to West Carrollton for their next game at 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 15.
Trotwood’s Sha’mya Leigh outscored Xenia on her own. She finished with a game-high 20 points, 12 of which came in the second half. The Rams don’t have much time to rest. Now 3-1 overall, 3-0 in the GWOC South, Trotwood will play host to Columbus Eastmoor at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13.

The versatility of nature makes traveling a truly enriching experience. Every facet of our environment is unique in its own way and is highly distinguished in each corner of our planet. If you simply consider the beaches that one needs to visit, then the variety is absolutely spectacular, with each region offering a different insight into sands, shores and wavy waters. Here is a list of some of the best beach destinations in the world that should be on the radar of every travel enthusiast.

Gerber has taken a refreshing marketing approach with their Spine fixed blade knife. They are not telling us it is the best quality knife on the market, or even the best-priced. They are telling us the Spine is “for the weekend warrior camper or hiker” and I commend them for that honest approach. After all, it certainly isn’t the best blade I have ever wielded. What it does offer is an affordable price point, excellent grip, sturdy blade, and a very comfortable ergonomic design.
Whether you are stripping wood for kindling or cutting open an MRE, the Spine is designed for an all-around reliable camping experience. It features an oversized lanyard hole to accommodate a variety of rope sizes and carabiners. The texturized rubber grip provides excellent retention even in wet or cold conditions, and for my medium sized hands, the handle provides a comfortable amount to hold onto. The drop point blade has a functional shape for camp-related tasks and has a great looking dull finish that helps to mask general wear on the blade over time.
- Drop point
- Fine edge 7Cr17MoV blade
- Raised handle grip
- Textured grip
- Lanyard hole
- Full tang
- Belt clip
- Excellent grip retention
- Oversized sheath clip can mount to the lumbar strap on a backpack
- Blade design offers a fine edge angle that lends to good all-around performance for camp related tasks
- Vibrant handle color options are easy to spot at the campsite or on the trail
- Thumb latch on the handle makes one-handed deployment very easy
- Factory edge is a little uneven and not quite as sharp toward the ricasso
- The glass-filled nylon sheath has some excess at the seams that should have been cleaned up
- Oversized clip on the sheath not very stable when mounted on a belt – it tends to tilt front or back
The Spine is a solid addition to the packing list for any casual camping trip or hike and is easily one of the more comfortable knives I’ve ever used in this price range. It isn’t perfect but not every knife needs to be. For $40 Gerber offers a durable, functional, and comfortable fixed blade camp knife that you will be able to get plenty of use out of.
- Full length: 8.4″
- Blade length: 3.7″
- Blade thickness: 3.25 mm (0.12″)
- Blade material: 7Cr17MoV
- Weight (with sheath): 6.6 oz
- Weight (knife only): 5.2 oz
- Full tang construction
- Glass-filled nylon sheath w/ belt clip
- Textured rubberized grip
- Lanyard hole
- Also available in Cyan color
- $40 MSRP

Extraction of the Mitragyna speciosa Kratom alkaloids into the tea is show to be facilitated by using powdered material, as this increases the surface area. So if one has crushed or whole dried Kratom leaf, it is best to grind the leaf to a rough powder in a food processor or a coffee grinder.
Place one dose of Mitragyna speciosa Kratom and the equivalent of one mug or coffee cup of water in a small saucepan, and bring to a very light boil, over medium heat. Boil the Kratom for about 15 minutes, until the liquid is reduced to 1/2 a cup.
If one is making more than one dose of Kratom, one should add 1/2 a cup of water per each desired dose.
Hold the saucepan at an angle for a 20 seconds, so that the powdered Kratom will gather, and pour the liquid either through a coffee filter, for fine
powder, or a strainer for coarser ground material, while blocking the Kratom in
the saucepan with a spoon.
Keep the Kratom in the pan, and place anything that fell into the strainer back
in the saucepan, and add another cup of water, boiling down the Kratom on a
light boil for 15 minutes again.
Pour the liquid out as before, using a strainer or coffee filter, and mix the liquid from the first and second Kratom extraction.
This time squeeze the Kratom powder out as much as possible, in order to get all the liquid out of the powder.
Sweeten and flavour to taste, milk diminishing some of the bitterness caused by Kratom’s tannins, sugar and lemon being other common options, and
Here is another basic recipe for making Mitragyna speciosa Kratom tea, inspired by "Sage Student" and Daniel Siebert:
This recipe makes enough Kratom tea for 8 to 16 mild doses, 4 medium-strength doses, or two moderately strong doses (see "Mitragyna speciosa Kratom dosage guidelines")
1.) Take 50 grams of dried, crushed Kratom leaves and put into a pot. To this
add 1 litre of water.
2.) Boil the Kratom leaves gently for 15 minutes.
3.) Pour the resulting Kratom tea through a strainer into a bowl and reserve
the liquid. (squeeze the leaves in the strainer to get most of the liquid out).
4.) Put the Kratom leaves back in the pot and add another litre of fresh water.
Repeat steps 2 and 3.
(after the leaves have been strained a second time, they can be discarded.)
5.) Put the combined liquid from both boilings back into the pot and boil until the volume is reduced to about 100 ml.
(The idea is to boil the tea down to a small volume so that each individual dose can be quickly swallowed. One can boil it down to whatever concentration one is comfortable with. Be careful near the end of the process: if the Kratom tea starts to become syrupy, it may spatter and/or burn.)
The resulting Kratom tea is quite bitter tasting. To minimize the unpleasant taste, gulp it down quickly and then immediately chase it with some pleasant-tasting fruit juice.
If Kratom tea is made from 50 grams of dried leaves, dosage may vary from 1/10th of the tea prepared to yield a threshold dose, to 1/2 the tea for a strong dose, to the whole tea for an extremely strong dose (these doses are indicative only, please see “Kratom dosage guidelines” for further details)
The same general Kratom tea preparation method can of course be used with larger or smaller amounts of Kratom leaves, by simply adjusting the volume of water to weight used.
Mitragyna speciosa Kratom tea can be safely stored in the refrigerator for about five days. It is probably acceptable to keep it a bit longer, but it's better to play it safe and not drink it after five days. By adding about 10% alcohol to the tea will help preserve it. It can then be stored for many months in the refrigerator. This would be one part 40° or 80% proof liquor (vodka, rum, or a similar clear spirit) to three parts of Kratom tea.

Happy Monday dear friends!
So I’ve been scanning old posts I’ve created over the past 3 years and I have one word: Ouch.
In the beginning, not only were my editing skills meretricious (at best) but my photographed sucked, man. Like, seriously. And my recipes required more ingredients than a fully stocked bloody grocery store!
Granted, I knew nothing about taking pictures. And I was new to recipe development. And I know it takes a while to find your writing “voice” – as it turns out, mine is often vulgar, offensive and at times a little too candid. That being said, man alive! …my recipes were all over the place!
Turns out, good food photography involves standing still. With lots of good, natural light. Moving in dungeonous rooms as you click click click away is not conducive to taking good pictures. Am I right, eh?
When it comes to editing, take good notes when you develop a recipe. Write your post. Read. Re-read. Read aloud. Re-read again. Walk away. Come back. Read out loud one more time. Pour a glass of wine. Have someone else read. Then – and only then – publish. And even after all that, some mistakes still sneak through. Luckily, I have you guys to keep me honest.
So now I’m in the process of going through old recipes, weeding out the ones that need a little work.
While I value the posts I made at the time – and therefore will not be deleting them (yet) – I am also prepared to make them again and re-post – hence the “take 2”. What do you think? Should I keep the old posts? Or start entirely fresh? I can’t tell you the horror I feel when someone discovers my blog for the first time and finds themselves staring at the wrong end of a vegetable wellington.
Again, I say, ouch.
If you notice any old posts that might need a little tweaking, please feel free to let me know. I want to make this page the best resource and space to connect as I possibly can. And that means making old posts better.
My darlings, you make me want to be a better blogger.
And that’s where this post comes from. It’s an oldie, but a goodie. And it’s all about fresh corn cakes! I’ve been waiting all damn year to remake it because it was that efing good. Seriously – I dream about these bad boys. In a sexy way. And you will too.
Be sure to use fresh corn with this dish – canned or frozen just won’t have the same brightness in flavor and you may end up with a heavy, gooey inedible hunk of carbs. And if you like your carbs as much as I do, you want them to be good. Real good, baby. Heck yeah!
Fresh Corn Cakes with Avocado Citrusy Goat Cheese Salsa
Yield 6 servings
- 2 C Fresh Corn Kernels, cut from the cob (organic if possible - avoid GMOs).
- 1 C All-Purpose White Flour.
- 1/2 C Fine Ground Cornmeal.
- 1 Tsp Baking Powder.
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda.
- 1 Tbsp Sugar.
- 1 Tsp Kosher Salt.
- 2 Free-Range Organic Eggs, lightly beaten.
- 2 Tbsp Milk.
Ingredients for Salsa:
- 2 Large Tomato (or a big handful of tiny ones), chopped.
- 1 Red Chili, thinly sliced.
- 2 Tbsp Cilantro, roughly chopped.
- 1/2 a small size Sweet Onion, finely chopped.
- 1 or 2 Large Garlic Clove(s), minced.
- Fresh Juice of 1 or 2 Limes (depending on how much juice you get out).
- 1 Avocado, pitted and diced.
- Small Palmful of quality goat cheese, crumbled.
- Coarse Sea Salt & Fresh Cracked Black Pepper.
- Pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees F.
- While that heats, pulse corn several times in a food processor until coarse chunks form - you don't want puree.
- Transfer the corn to a large bowl and combine with flour, cornmeal, baking powder, soda, sugar, salt and pepper to taste. Add eggs and milk and whisk until just combined.
- Pre-heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.Once hot, drop batter by tablespoonfuls into the skillet, but be careful not to over-crowd the pan or they won't cook properly. Cook 1 - 2 minutes per side until golden brown and transfer to a cookie sheet to keep warm in your oven until all the cakes are ready to be served.
- For the salsa, combine all the ingredients in a bowl just before serving and mix well, season to taste.
- Serve cakes topped generously with the salsa.
What have you learned from blogging? Do you think I should keep the old posts? Delete them? Are you critical of your past work? Proud of it?

Ely’s Christmas lights add sparkle to the city
The displays of Christmas lights have added some sparkle to Ely.
With a Christmas tree on the Market Place and lines of stunning string lights brightening up the streets, families are welcome to admire the stunning displays.
Visitors will need to maintain social distancing and follow the Tier 2 guidelines set out by the government.
Sarah Jay, deputy town clerk of Ely, said: “We have around 20 volunteers and staff that help with the Christmas Lights. It takes four weekends - and one weekend to take down. Plus there is some other work that is done during the week”.
She said the team all work “extremely hard in all weathers and not just in the run up to Christmas, a lot of planning and preparation is carried out, throughout the year.
“Without this dedication and also the support given from local business and organisations, the lights in Ely would not be possible”.

Danish cops arrest 9 people in terror sweep
The arrests happened overnight in Vollsmose, a mostly immigrant suburb west of Odense.Updated: Sep 05, 2006 17:28 IST
Police in central Denmark arrested nine people suspected of plotting a terror attack after they allegedly acquired material to build explosives, the intelligence service said on Tuesday.
The arrests happened overnight in Vollsmose, a mostly immigrant suburb west of Odense, Denmark's third-largest city.
Lars Findsen, the head of the Danish Security Intelligence Service, said the suspects "had acquired material ... To build explosives in connection with the preparation of a terror act." He said the suspects would face a custody hearing later on Tuesday.
Findsen did not reveal the planned target of the attack and said it was hard to evaluate how far the suspects had got in their preparations.
"With the general terror situation, the Danish Security Intelligence Service didn't want to run any unnecessary risk," he said.
Denmark raised its terror preparedness after the terror attacks in London last year and the global Muslim fury earlier this year over cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad first published in a Danish newspaper.
Today's arrests would not prompt the Scandinavian country to raise its terror alert further, Findsen said.
The arrests came two weeks after four suspects in custody since October were charged with supplying explosives for a planned terror attack in Europe.
Police in Bosnia say they foiled the plot when they arrested two men there who were plotting to blow up an unspecified target.

This week’s Bird of the Week, compliments of the Weminuche Audubon Society and Audubon Rockies, is the Townsend’s solitaire.
Maybe you’ve noticed a slender gray bird sitting upright, perched atop a juniper or ponderosa. With a small head; short beak; and long, graceful tail, it sports a distinct white ring around its eye. In flight, look for faint yellow patches on the wings and white on the outermost tail feathers. During this time of year, listen for its single-note, beacon-like call. It’s probably a Townsend’s solitaire perched in the perfect location to survey its winter territory.
Solitaires live throughout the mountain west year-round. In spring, males perform obligatory flight exercises to woo mates. Once a pair bond is formed, males have been observed feeding their mates to retain loyalty. During nesting season, they build cup-shaped nests on the ground and along eroded banks. During fall, they move to lower elevations to feast on juniper and other sources such as serviceberry, elderberry and currant species. They may flutter briefly to pluck berries or swoop to the ground to pick them up. As winter ends, solitaires begin to move to higher territory. They can be found throughout pine, fir and spruce forests up to 11,500 feet, where their diet switches to insects and spiders. Both the identical-looking male and female birds are dedicated to defending their respective spaces. They chase away other birds and even attack their own reflections, perceived competitors, in windows and mirrors.
As of 2016, the State of North America’s Birds Report rated Townsend’s solitaires a 10 out of 20 on the Continental Concern Score. To support this species in our backyards, it’s imperative to plant and retain fruit-bearing trees and shrubs native to southwest Colorado.

These fun valentine treat bags will have the kids exploding with excitement!
When I dreamed up this idea for these valentine treat bags, I wanted to use the snack size Rolo candies to make the “TnT” but after hunting for them all over town and online, I discovered that they have been discontinued. Soooo, my philosophy when it comes to crafts and being creative is “If you can’t find it, or don’t have it, make it!” and that’s exactly what I did. Following my own philosophy, I made my own miniature rolls of Rolo candy.
You are da BOMB Valentine Treat Bags
To assemble these Valentine treat bags, you will need the following:
- You are da BOMB printable kit.
- Snack size Ziploc baggies
- Adhesive (I used Glue Dots)
- Individually wrapped Rolos (or any miniature rolled candy if you can find it)
Print as many of the bag toppers that you need on white cardstock and the ‘TnT’ wrappers on printer paper (thinner paper is easier to wrap around the candy, trust me on this). You can also use sticker paper for the candy wraps….just remember though, it won’t be very forgiving. Once it sticks it’s stuck!
To assemble, put a glue dot on top of a Rolo and then stack another on top. You will need a total of 3 Rolos for each ‘TnT’. Then cut out the TnT pieces and wrap around the stacked Rolos and glue the seam down. Place the TnT candy in the baggie and staple the bag toppers to the top of the baggie.

For Those I Love has shared a brand new video – watch the football-themed visual for new single ‘To Have You’ below.
The song appears on the self-titled debut album from the project of Irish musician David Balfe, which was released earlier this year.
The new video, directed by Niall Trask, was shot at Tolka Park, the stadium of Dublin-based football team Shelbourne FC. Tolka Park is currently under threat of closure, and fans can join a fundraiser to save the stadium here.
Of the new video, Balfe said: “The trip out to the football can feel like a pilgrimage. Every mix of bliss and pain and glory is felt in the terraces each week, but it’s been lost for us all since the world changed overnight.
“Being back in the stands as ‘To Have You’ was shot felt like a shower of relief and beauty, and I can’t thank Niall enough for his vision and understanding of what it all means.
He added: “The track is very much about survival, reflecting on a world me and mine grew up through and confronting those who question it. I am blessed to be able to hear this in a new light now as it’s mixed with Niall’s art.”
Watch the video for ‘To Have You’ below:
Upon its release, NME gave For Those I Love’s self-titled debut album a five-star review, writing: “‘For Those I Love’ is not only an immaculate debut, but a beautiful record that speaks to anyone who’s ever loved and lost, anyone who might be mourning or just processing the days of youthful abandon, or perhaps those who need reminding that you can’t have shadows without the light.
“‘Stories to tell never breed sadness, they treat it,’ he says on ‘The Shape Of You’, ‘and if you can grasp it, own it, deal with it, you can heal with it’. He’s not wrong. We’ll dance together again soon. Until then, keep going.”
Since the album’s release, For Those I Love has shared a live film called Holy Trinity, announced details of a full debut UK tour, and released a stripped-back, instrumental version of his debut album.
